Abstract：
"Theory of Mind" refers to the ability to understand mental states (purposes, intentions, attention, beliefs, knowledge, desires, emotions, etc.) in oneself and others. It is not only an important branch in the field of psychology and neuroscience, but also has a wide range of applications in humanities and social sciences, as well as a possible development direction for artificial intelligence. In the Chinese context, its meaning has been agreed upon, but its Chinese translation has not yet been fully unified. In this paper, we searched the sub-collection of academic journals in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database with "theory of mind" as the keyword, and obtained 421 eligible Chinese documents after screening, and analyzed them to determine the development and usage of "theory of mind". The development and usage of the translation of "theory of mind" were analyzed. Based on the fact that "theory of mind" actually refers to the state of mental speculation in the field of research and application, and that the translation of "theory" into "揣测" in English. We propose to use "theory of mind" as the Chinese translation of "心理揣测" based on its feasibility and basis.
