The disease and syndrome terms of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),the embodiment of unique TCM theories, reflect how the concepts of diseases are formed in different cultures together with the disease terms of Western medicine.Focusing on the representative disease and syndrome terms in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber(Jin Gui Yao Lue),we elaborated on the classification of the terms from the perspective of schema theory(i.e.,schema overlap, schema similarity, and schema conflict)and the translation strategies and methods for the terms of the three types.For the terms of schema overlap, western medicine terms can be used to activate the schemata; for the terms of schema similarity, literal translation method can be employed to adjust the schemata; for the terms of schema conflict, free translation method can be adopted to reconstruct the schemata.On this basis, this paper sorts out the comprehensive model for the English translation of TCM disease and syndrome terms from the perspective of schema theory, with a view to providing reference for the study of English translation of TCM disease and syndrome terms.
The symptom responses related to cold and heat at the initial stage of exterior pathogenic factor attack have been greatly appreciated by doctors of all dynasties. The cold-related symptoms mainly include Wu Han(aversion to cold), Wei Han(fear of cold), Wu Feng(aversion to wind), and Han Zhan(chills), with aversion to cold/wind most commonly seen at the initial stage of wind-cold attack. While some of those cold-related symptoms are vague and inconsistent in terms of connotation and clinical significance in various TCM Diagnostics textbooks, and they are not consistently applied in various TCM clinical textbooks. In order to clarify the connotation and clinical significance of those cold-related symptoms seen at the initial stage of wind-cold attack, an analysis is carried out in this paper by integrating ideas from both ancient and modern books and papers.On basis of that, the following ideas are confirmed: ‘Aversion to cold’ has been used as a symptom generally referring to ‘fear of cold’, and it’s only clearly differentiated from the symptom of ‘intolerance of cold’ until modern TCM Diagnostics textbooks.Other symptoms and factors should be taken into consideration in the clinical differentiation of these two symptoms. Besides, the clinical significance of ‘aversion to cold’ should not be limited to its correlation to exterior patterns. The main pathogenesis of ‘aversion to wind’ should be viewed as exterior deficiency instead of being similar to that of ‘aversion to cold’. Accordingly, the clinical manifestation of ‘aversion to wind’ is the discomfort when exposed to wind, and this symptom could coexist with ‘aversion to cold’. With such a differentiation and analysis, we hope to clarify the connation and significance of cold-related symptoms in TCM Diagnostics and provide references for their standardized usage.

中医病证名词术语是中医术语里的重要组成部分,大多语义丰富,文化烙印深厚,且与西医学病名术语不能完全对应,其英译路径虽有学者关注但鲜有深入研究.以中医典籍《金匮要略》为代表性病证名,尤其是以“断泄”一词为例,通过查找文献,追溯其源头,分析其在原文中的概念内涵,并将现有译本中英译选词进行对比分析,从翻译“信”原则出发,以“最佳近似度”为翻译标准,探索中医病证名的英译路径,并尝试提出中医翻译“3W”课堂教学模式,对中医术语英译路径应用于中医翻译的实践与教学进行了初步思考.供学界探讨借鉴.
目的:翻译单位是翻译研究的热点主题,随着中医翻译研究的进一步深入发展,逐渐从产品导向型研究发展到过程导向研究,中医翻译单位也越来越受到学界关注.方法:本研究运用有声思维法收集译者在进行中医文本汉英翻译过程中所使用的翻译单位.结果:研究发现学生译者与专业译者最常用的翻译单位均为词语与词组,学生译者更常使用单字作为翻译单位,而专业译者使用句子为翻译单位的频次远大于学生译者.学生译者在翻译的过程中更倾向于把译文拆分到最小的可以解决单位,但由于翻译单位小于语义的最小搭配结构,从而造成误译.结论:本实证研究初步证实,在中医文本汉英翻译过程中,专业译者的翻译单位通常大于学生译者的翻译单位.
《黄帝内经》逐渐成为中医英译研究的热点,其中关于"五神"概念的英译研究独树一帜.本研究通过厘清《黄帝内经》"五神"概念系统中"志意"一词的内涵,梳理了《黄帝内经》中含有"志意"的所有语篇,确定"志意"在各语篇中的内涵.在此基础上,对比分析现有的《黄帝内经》四部全译本中"志意"的译法,发现四个译本均存在不同程度的翻译问题,包括对原文概念理解不准确、过分强调译名统一以及概念含义相同但译名不统一等.为促进中医名词术语英译的标准化,翻译应遵循准确性、统一性和对应性原则.首先,在翻译时应明确原文内涵,确保翻译准确;其次,尽可能地保持相同含义的名词译名统一.同时,对于不同含义的名词,建议选择相应的译法,而不应过分强调译名统一.
翻译单位是翻译学科中的基础问题.不同学者从语篇、语段、小句和词等层次均有深入论述.而术语的翻译单位,尤其是中医术语的翻译单位较少有人分析.与一般科技术语不同,中医术语具有模糊性、歧义性和笼统性的特点.大多数译者在中医术语翻译研究实践中常将整个自然术语词语默认为翻译单位.魏迺杰将单字作为中医术语翻译的基本单位,杨明山则主张在单字的组合规律上探讨中医术语翻译问题.在梳理相关概念和分析中医术语特点的基础上,结合研究现状和术语实例分析,文章提出中医术语翻译应以基于语义的最小搭配结构为翻译单位,并建议未来开展中医术语翻译单位的实证研究.
A data-based comparative study revealed that there were some different features between the bilingual package inserts of Chinese medicine and the English package inserts of western medicine in terms of text construction.For example,some sections such as "Clinical trial" and "Pharmacology and toxicology" were listed in the English package inserts of western medicine,whereas these essential sections were not presented in the bilingual package inserts of Chinese medicine.In addition,there seemed to be no standard versions concerning the translation of section titles of Chinese medicine inserts,most of which were not acceptable.It was suggested that translators should get familiar with the pre-texts of the package inserts,especially their text features,communicative purposes,structure potentials.Furthermore,they should make full use of intertextual references,take the audience's cognition into consideration and choose proper ways of expression when constructing English texts of package inserts of Chinese medicine,which aim to convey the information successfully and increase the popularity of Chinese medicine in the international community.

Analysis of differences between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) philosophy with malnstream western medicine was done with reference to intercultural communication theory. It was found that the differences are malnly manifested through "holism" philosophy of TCM and "dualism" of Western medicine, intuition thinking mode of TCM and mechanical thinking mode of western medicine, and ideographic Chinese language and objective description of the Western medicine. The translation principle was also discussed with the perspective of intercultural communication. It is of great significance to respect the "recipient’s privilege", to create "intimate" text, and to understand the bilingual differences if TCM translation is to be promoted.
ln translating the predicative-compound structure of three-character pathogenesis TCM terms, the key is verb translating. Both the semantic and syntactic features of the source TCM terms should be taken into consideration to achieve accuracy. As for systematization, near-synonyms in source terms should be translated into their corresponding near-synonyms in target terms.
A data-based quantitative study was conducted by examining 43 bilingual package inserts of Chinese medicine. The results indicated that most inserts were poorly constructed with incomplete formats. Furthermore, there seemed no standardized translationforthe section titles, and some of them were even translated incorrectly. It was suggested that insert translation should follow the “reader-centered principle” which was determined by its communicative purpose. Translators should take full advantage of intertextual reference and construct complete and standard insert formats of Chinese medicine, thus helping readers obtain information more quickly and easily. This paper intends to advance some suggestions concerning the text constructionof bilingual package inserts of Chinese medicineand help enterprises in this line increase their competitiveness in the international market.
The research paper aims to explore how to integrate medical humanity education into English teaching at TCM uni-versities and colleges. It first analyzes the definition of medical humanities and medical humanity, reviews the status quo of the re-searches into medical humanities and medical humanity education, and the status quo of English teaching and research at medical universities and colleges. Then, it goes on to discuss the specific methods to integrate medical humanity education in English teaching, research and practice to enhance students’medical humanity at TCM universities and colleges. It eventually arrives at the conclusion that English teaching at TCM universities and colleges must give full play to its humanistic features and fully incor-porate the basic concepts of medical humanities into its contents and forms of teaching.
