中医术语英译之我见摘要：中医学博大精深，其中蕴涵了无穷的智慧。
中医药对外交流和商务活动日益频繁，而中医术语英译则是中国与其他国家中医药交流的枢纽。
本文对中医术语语言的特点进行了分析，探讨了中医术语英译应遵循的翻译原则，同时结合一些翻译经验和体会，提出了几点翻译策略。
关键词：中医术语英译翻译原则翻译策略1.引言中医术语英译是科技翻译，但又不同于一般意义上的科技翻译，翻译时要根据中医语言的风格和读者对象，实现内容准确完整，语言简练规范。
要达到中医英译标准化，就必须先从中医语言特点着手。
2.中医术语英译的困难2.1医哲交融导致中医语言模糊。
中医是以哲学思想为理论基础的学科。
一方面，中医从哲学的角度探索人生、生命，蕴涵了丰富的哲学思想。
如中医学上的“阴阳”和“五行”学说原本就是中国古代哲学概念，其中“相生相克”的学说包涵了朴素的辩证唯物主义思想，后被中医学用来阐释人体的结构、生理和病理状况。
另一方面，中国哲学使得中医语言变得模棱两可，晦涩难懂，如阴阳、五行很难找到对等的英文翻译。
2.2文学性强导致中医英译文化障碍。
医学语言文学化是中医语言特点之一。
许多中医经典著作都以文言写成，其文体包含歌咏、诗赋等，语言具有浓厚的古典文学特点。
因此，中医英译时常面临以下两方面困难：一方面中医和西医的文化背景有很大区别，另一方面中医中的一些治疗方法和技巧很难让西方人理解，甚至造成误解。
3.中医术语英译的翻译原则针对中医英译的困难，中医英译时应遵循忠实、准确、统一的原则。
3.1“忠实”原则。
这指正确地将原文语言的信息用译文语言表达出来，不苛求语法与句子结构的一致，却要求信息内涵的对等。
奈达关于顺乎自然的对等的论述，同样适用于中医英译。
中医理论中有一些概念，如阴阳、五行、藏象等，具有典型的中国文化特色。
因此，中医术语英译是向读者传达的是中国古老的医学科学知识，译者应遵循实事求是的原则。
如“上古圣人之教下也，皆谓之虚邪贼风”的“贼风”是指引起人伤风感冒的致病因素，即可翻译为现代的医学术语pathogen，无须为了保持外国人并不能欣赏的古典文学及哲学而生硬地翻译为thief wind。

随着医药卫生的对外交流,中医药的神奇临床疗效和独特的理论体系已越来越引起国际上的重视,这方面的国际交流日趋频繁。
为了准确地将中医药学的理论、实践与科研成果介绍到国外,使国外学者能正确理解,促进国际学术交流,可以说,中医英译问题是中医药走向世界的桥梁。
因此,中医药的英译规范化问题已迫在眉睫。
据谭毅等1!统计,对1988~1990年美国∀医学文献索引#(Index Medicus,IM)收载∀中西医结合杂志#∃临床论著%的文献分析,被IM 收载率高达95.6%,作者认为这似与原文是否有英文摘要有关。
我国有关中医药、中西医结合的科研论文绝大多数在国内以中文形式发表,可见若有英文题录、摘要、关键词等,亦可被国外文献索引工具所收载,从而可以让世人了解我国中医药科研动态和水平。
此外,随着外国留学中医人数的逐年增多,为适应教育的需要也必须编写高质量英语版中医系列教材。
这项工作已经开展,但是否适合于教学或作参考书籍,还有待评估。

English translation of the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine AnalysisChinese medicine foreign exchange and business activities have become increasingly frequent, while the English translation of traditional Chinese medicine is Chinese Medicine with the rest of the world exchange a link. How to master Chinese translator English translation of the principles and techniques? What is English translation of the principles of traditional Chinese medic ine? English translation of this paper, analysis of practice in traditional Chinese medicine, try to put the principles of traditional Chinese medicine in English translation. According to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in English translation, Chinese English translation should observe the following principles: loyalty (faithfulness), accurate (exactness), Unity (consistency). English translation of traditional Chinese medicine "a faithful, accurate and unified" principle, fundamentally speaking, is to adapt to the Chinese language and content specificity. The translation of the standard is basically reflects the transformation of Chinese-English language standards, to meet the standards for Chinese-English translation of the special needs. An English translation of traditional Chinese medicine, "faith" principle and application of traditional Chinese medicine in the English translation of "faithful" is rightly the original language of the express language of the translation. The "faithful" not demanding the same grammar and sentence structure, but requires Information on the connotation of the same weight. Literary Translation in the "similar" or "close" statement can not be set into the English translation of traditional Chinese medicine in the "faithful." Rely on information transmission are equal, that is, the information equivalent, rather than simply "semantic equivalence" [1]. See the following translation of "faithful" on the problem: the original: As the ferrite weak stomach, or blood loss Shangyin long illness, caused by Yinxue lack of cell pulse dystrophy. The original translation: The disease results from chronic splenogastric as2t henia, or yin2blood consumption by bleeding wit h chronic ill2ness, leading to insufficiency and failure to nourish t he uterinecollaterals. On the surface, yet fluent translation. In comparing the "true" principle, we find that the lack of a number of points: First, the original "Yinxue" The information in the translation as "yin2blood", actually "Yinxue" refers to the "blood", translation can not be "Yin" also translated them. "Yin2blood" is clearly the concept of repetition. The second, "Yinxue deficient" refers to blood deficiency, with the insufficiency of the translation misleading impression that there is substantial lack of human blood. In fact, "blood deficiency" does not necessarily the actual reduction of blood volume. Hemopenia can be used to translate the word. The sentence should be translated as follows: new translations: The disease results from chronic splenogastric as2t henia, or yin2consumption by bleeding wit h chronic illness, leading to hemopenia and failure to nourish t he uterine collater2als.2 English translation of traditional Chinese medicine "accurate" principle and application of Chinese English translation of "accurate" principle means: the translator that will convert the contents of the original language to the language translation process of the contents of selected words accurately express the concept of precise, complex and were referred to the right. Literary Translation often encountered exaggeration, metaphor, metonymy and other modification method, the concept of expression is not necessarily very accurate. English translation of traditional Chinese medicine involving the contents of the serious and specific, not the translator on the casual expression. With this principle as the core, you can regulate the current English translation of traditional Chinese medicine practice, some of the less "accurate" translation. Such as: Original: If the gasification dysfunction, will affect the qi, blood, body fluid metabolism, affecting digestion and absorption of dietary compounds affect the sweat, urine and feces excretion, and thus form a variety ofmetabolic disorders. The original translation: The disorder of qi activity can affec t themetabolism of qi, blood and body fluid, affect t he digestion andabsorption of food, and affect sweating, urination and defeca2tion, resulting in various metabolic diseases. Translation will appear in the original three " impact ", all translated, appeared stiff, does not meet the language used in English. To avoid these problems, according to the actual semantics of the original three synonyms were used to translate "impact", affect, impair, inhibit accurate expression of the concept of a complete solution to the problem. The sentence should be translated as follows: new translations: The disorder of qi activity can affect themetabolism of qi, blood and body fluid, impair t he digestion andabsorption of food, and inhibit t he excretion of sweat, urine andfeces, resulting in various metabolic diseases. Chinese English translation of "accurate" principle embodied in the choice of words on the first. And accurate selection of translation words is based on correct understanding of the original. More than just the choice of words from English dictionary to find the corresponding words only. It reflects the translators of the Chinese medicine knowledge and understanding of the depth of Chinese-English bilingual glossary. For example: Original: Semi-pin, one of the ancient practice of acupuncture, which is characterized as a shallow stab and was only half the normal depth, a needle quickly. Translation: "Half2needling" is one of the ancient needingmanipulations, characterized by shallow needling at only halft he usual dept h wit h quick wit hdrawal. Chinese term "acupuncture" in a different mix of English have different expressions. needling is a common translation, acupuncture, and puncture for the more formal concepts such as acupuncture (acupuncture), acupuncture body position (acupuncture pos2ture), acupuncture anesthesia (acupuncture anest hesia), acupuncture (acupuncturet herapy) and so on. This translation, according to the principle of an accurate choice of English words, choose the needling. Translation, only in accordance with its connotations of "accurate" choice of English words in order to ensure that information and concepts of the corresponding conversion. Sometimes, the original lacks accuracy, according to the translator if the original hard-translation, translation will inevitably lead to ambiguity. In this case, the translator also responsible for the verification of the original concept, to determine the original meaning of the task. English Translation of the many errors in traditional Chinese medicine seems to be caused by the original. Some of the original concept and expression does not give rise to misunderstanding the original readers, but the literal translation in the past may make the reader misunderstanding. Only to verify the original translator, accurate translation, translation will reduce the ambiguity. For example: Original: its symptoms of cold and heat exchanges, Xiong Xie bitter full, upset hi vomit quietly do not want to diet, mouth pain throat, dizziness, pulse string and so on. PRESIDENT: Its topical symptoms are alternative chills and fever, hypochondriac and t horacic stuffiness, irascibility, frequent hic2cups, depression, poor appetite, somatic bitterness, dry t hroat, blurred vision and a tense pulse. Text used the word "bitter Xiongxie Man" The term "hard over" to describe the extreme discomfort Xiongxie sense of fullness, vague concepts, translation using the stuffiness, general translation of this concept, so that the original fuzzy get an accurate translation. Chinese English translation of "accurate" principle, the main text and the translation is to provide an accurate flow of conceptual terms, but does not require the wording and Structure of the corresponding surface. To achieve translation of "accurate", the translator should be a solid way to learn Chinese and English language expertise. Similarly, a concept in a different language environment requires a different expression. Translator grasp the translation of "accurate" is just to the original text in translation smooth and appropriate. The general literature on Chinese-English translation, the translator often from an entry on theChinese-English dictionary effectively to find a few translations, a brief screening requirements can be selected. Traditional Chinese medicine is definitely not like the English translation of Chinese-English dictionary from the options that simple. The translator must be based on traditional Chinese medicine expertise to make a choice of English, some word equivalent on the surface actually is a big difference. Some English words, the translator that can translate a text for the concept, but the reader is asked not understand. Chinese English translation of the concept of more stringent limits, but also to the translator's knowledge of languages other than put a higher demand. Meet the need for a translator is only a general understanding of the English word, is far from the English translation of Chinese medicine practitioners, Chinese English translation must be consistent with the needs of English readers. The translator can make the right choice is the key not only to be familiar with traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese, but also be familiar with traditional Chinese medicine in English. 3 English translation of traditional Chinese medicine "unified" principle and the use of TCM English translation of "unity" principle, which is Chinese-English translation of terminology in the translation process at all times should maintain a unified, does not allow arbitrary transformations of the same terminology translation. Of course, Chinese English translation of the "unified" principle to some extent dependent on the concerted efforts of the translator as well as the general authority of department of uniform provisions. Some words in his popularity is often the initial cause trouble to the translators. In the end these words to what to say, really easy, so the translator had to demonstrate their individual had. Such as the Chinese term "triple burner" had been variously translated: triple energizer, tri2energizer, the Sanjiao, the warmers, the heaters and so on. Such non-uniform phenomenon, so that we spend much effort to understand the relevance of the various translations. The World Health Organization promulgated "acupuncture meridians of the International Standardization Program" will "triple burner" be translated as triple energizer, we should be internationally harmonized standards in accordance with this translation. With the "unification" of the translation, Chinese English translation could not be easier. At the same time, maintaining the unity of translation is also to facilitate readers in understanding and smoothly convey information. The principle of unity should be the English translation of traditional Chinese medicine and international bi-directional integration [2]. English translation of traditional Chinese medicine to maintain translation of the term "reunification" There are three ways: (1) with reference to international TCM English monographs and literature, such as the World Health Organization promulgated the "acupuncture meridians of the International Standardization Program" and so on, to keep Chinese English nouns Chinese-English translation of the term unity, international and stability. (2), the most authoritative reference to the new Chinese medicine Chinese-English dictionary. (3) The terms and expressions in English translation must be a long time that people use, the basic convention only after unification. Chinese-English translation of traditional Chinese medicine Chinese medicine is the most difficult terms and phrases properly translated into English, the translator must study harder, continue to read Chinese at home and abroad in English magazines, to grasp the translation movement. Professional Chinese-English Dictionary in English, traditional Chinese medicine field has a strength and authority of the translation has been convention, we should be consciously applied to our translation practice. Some translation is not perfect, but the translator for the time being follow these conventions translation. Because they followed the use of English translation of the long-standing, forming a fixed term, the best of their first with him. To introduce new, not a translator can call the shots, nor is it overnight, need long-term effort [3]. In short, thetransmission of information because of TCM English with the special nature of the existing principles and standards of the various translations is not very appropriate English translation of traditional Chinese medicine, the authors propose a "faithful (faithfulness), accurate (exactness), Unity (consisten2cy)" The English translation of the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, with a view to some standard English translation of Chinese medicine. This principle should be to return to English translation in the practice of traditional Chinese medicine to be tested. [References]1 Li Zhao-guo. TCM English translation techniques [M].

由于全球化策略，人们也不再止于自己本国的医学。
中国改革开放的政策，使得世界各地的人们开始了解中国，随之原本扎根于中国本土的中医也得到了国外学者的重视。
中医英语翻译则在这个时候扮演了举足轻重的角色。
中医英译的好不仅可以加强国际交流，传播健康，而且也可以使国外友人更加深刻地了解。
虽然中医英译在历史上有过五个发展阶段，各国学者纷纷提出了自己的主张，但是其发展还是不成熟的，存在着很多问题。
本文将从中医英译的三个特点即仿造化、多样性以及定义化出发，仔细探讨现今中医英译存在的两大难题：对应词缺乏及理解偏差。
同时，针对这两大难题提出了三大中医英译的原则，即薄文重医，得“意”忘“形”；比照西医，求同存异；尊重国情，保持特色。
关键词：中医英译；发展；特点；问题；原则AbstractAs time goes on, people all over the world pay more attention to their health. This makes medical science develop more quickly. Because of globalization, people do not only focus on their domestic medical science. After Chinese reform and opening-up policy, people all over the world begin to learn about Chinese culture, such as traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore the translation of traditional Chinese medicine plays a very important role on this situation. The good tradition of traditional Chinese medicine not only promotes international communication, spread healthy knowledge but also makes foreign friends learn China’s rich cultural heritage. Even though the translation of traditional Chinese medicine has gone through five stages and scholars have proposed different views, its development is immature and exist many problems. The characteristics of translation about traditional Chinese medicine are word coping, giving definition and diversified translations. This thesis discusses its two problems in detail, lack of translated words and the deviation of understanding, according to its three characteristics. What’s more, this article involves its three main principles. They are a good way to deal with its problems.Key words:traditional Chinese medicine; stages; characteristics; problems; principles1 IntroductionThe translation of traditional Chinese medicine has gone through over 300 hundred years. It is one of treasures about China culture. It has five stages. It plays an important and necessary role in the communication of international world. Recent years, more and more people come to China to learn about traditional Chinese medicine with the “Chinese medicine hot following” a nd the development of the high technology. Therefore, the good translation works can promote the development of Chinese culture, art and technology. What’s more, they are reasonable ways for western people to learn about China. A lot of people, including the public and the scholars, are interested in the traditional Chinese medicine and choose to read some the translation classics. It is easy to point out that Chinese medicine is acceptable by people around the world.At present, the people around the world have found its three characteristics, word coping, giving definition and diversified translation, from its five stages. However, the translation work is very difficult and still exist a lot of problems. The main two problems are lack of translated words and the deviation of understanding. Li Zhaoguo (1997, 03) once said, language of Chinese medicine has a long history just as its theory. Adding the different schools’ achievements, the translation and understanding become more and more difficult. Also, the different cultures and different ways of thinking are main elements to restrict the development of the Chinese medicine’s translation. According to these elements, the translation of Chinese medicine is still in a mess. Even though the scholars do a lot to solve this problem and go out from the mess situation, it does not effect well. The scholars have noticed its difficulty and try their best to seek for some standardized principles.Therefore, as the purpose is to describe the translation’s situation, this thesis will show its five development stages and characteristics briefly in the first and second parts. Besides, the two problems and the three principles will be stated detail in the next two parts.Even the translation of traditional Chinese medicine is in a mess, the definition is accepted by people at home and abroad. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) English is defined as a unique expression of language system that English language was gradually formed during Chinese medicine’s foreign translation and exchanges. It is anew number of English for Specific Purpose (ESP).2 The Development of the English Translation of Traditional Chinese Medicine2.1 The first developing stageThis stage was from the year of 1676 and ended in 1854. In 1676, the book of Treatise of the Gout was published in London and was translated from Dutch into English. This book was wrote by a staff who suffering gout about 14 years. Also some TMC terminology such as acupuncture and moxibustion were spread into western countries and still in use nowadays. There are many translators participating in translation and most of them are European, Dutch and Chinese missionary. At that time, the translation involved in acupuncture, medicine history, pharmacy and sphygmology and did not rel ated to Chinese classics directly. What’s more, some classics in Latin were published in London.2.2 The second developing stageThis stage was ended in 1949. At this stage, TMC develop more profoundly in the western countries. The scholars in China and western countries exchanged a lot. Because of this, some translations were spread into European countries. Many scholars, especially doctors，joined in or undertook the work directly. Such as History of Chinese Medicine which was written by Wang Jiming and Wu Liande is still read and studied by a lot of scholars (Lan Fengli, 2008, 29). Some scholars tried to translate some Chinese classics，such as Huang Di’s Classic of Internal Medicine and Compendium of Materia Medica. At the same time, this stage was a symbol of the ending about the medicine work in Latin.2.3 The third developing stageDuring this period, the exchange between China and western was influenced by political factors. However the translation work was not be interrupted and developed into a new level. China government set up 20 medical schools in 5 years from the year of 1956. It was the first time that translation work was under the official organization and avoided some translation problems. Translations about Chinese classics were referred to agenda.Also at that time, the translation of Chinese medicine was spread in the standardized mode of transmission. In the year of 1954, Joseph Needham devoted himself to Chinese technology and medicine. Then his achievement, Science and Civilisation in China Series, was published by London, Cambridge University Press. This book shows the science technology and medicine achievement of the ancient China. (Lan Fengli, 2008, 29)It also was a time that ended the use of Latin and conformed to the language development.2.4 The fourth developing stageThis stage was started in 1972 and ended in 1991. During this stage, the translation of TCM had a rapid development. There were two reasons to explain this phenomenon. First, it owned to the China government’s refor m and opening-up policy and the discovery of anti-AIDS medicine. Second, U.S. president Richard Nixon valued the acupuncture anesthesia drug during his Chinese visiting. Moreover, his visiting led to the Chinese medicine and acupuncture treatments entering into the United States again.Chinese translators became the main power in the translation of TCM. What’s more, the translation work was summarized by the practice into theory. For example, according to Min ling (2006:07), Professor Xu Xiangcai published the English-Chinese Encyclopedia of Practical Traditional Chinese Medicine. He also alone translated Complete Collections of Therapies of Treating outside with Traditional Chinese Herbs.In addition, translation in the western developed in a fast speed. Lan Fengli (2008, 29) pointed out that the U.S. Publication published The American Journal of China Medicine and American Journal of Acupuncture in the year of 1973, theGermany professor of Manfred Porket published The Theoretical Foundation of Chinese Medicine and Systems of Correspondence in England in the year of 1974 and so on.2.5 The fifth developing stageIn this stage, scholars felt that the situation of different views can not meet the new needs of the times as the translation work’s research and s tudy went on. In addition, the problems about lacking of translated words and the deviation of understanding must be solved in time. Therefore, a lot of academic organizations were set up to coordinate the translation work. This time, the translation of TCM had five features. Fist, the research developed into substantive level. Second, the theories of the translation about TCM were acted as research orientations for graduates. Third, the fragmented situation in the translation of TCM was broken. Fourth, some Chinese English medicine book were published and spread. Fifth, the translation work tended to the united.There are a lot of achievements in this period. Nigel Wiseman published A Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine in the year of 1992. Paul. U. Unschuld published the Huang Di Nei Jing Su Wen: Nature, Knowledge, Imagery in An Ancient Chinese Medical Text in the year of 2003. What’s more, the WHO published WHO International Standard Terminologies on Traditional Medicine in the Western Pacific Region. It built the foundation of traditional medicine.From these five stages, it is easy to conclude that the translation of TCM has a long history. Nevertheless, the history of Chinese people participants is short and the comprehensive translation even shorter. So the translation of TCM has great potential for development.3 The Characteristics of the English Translation of Traditional Chinese Medicine3.1 Word copingWord coping is a kind of method that transmit the concepts and expressing ways peculiar to traditional Chinese medicine to English through rearranging and combining the words of English. Since TCM has a unique theoretical system, the terminologies’ content is very different from modern medicine. In the areas of anatomy, physiology and pathology, the noun terminologies in TCM and modern medicine are very similar or even identical. However, they are very different in other ways. In this situation, it is very difficult to find these noun terminologies’ equivalents in the English context. The translation of TCM is developed on the basis of TCM. And then, wording coping comes into scholars’ mind.In fact, the early translators use wording coping to translate there noun terminologies. For example,血厥blood syncope血虚blood deficiency活血化瘀activating blood to resolve stasisIn English, there are some words such as liver, blood and deficiency, but has no concept of liver, blood and deficiency. Word coping is a method that use some existing words to expressing specific concepts. These words can not find in English context, but it very important to the translation of TCM.Word coping is reflected not only in the translation of noun terminologies, but also in the sentences. For example,阳常有余，阴常不足。
