中医学科名称英译规范研究

Standardization of English TCM Subject Names

中医学科名称翻译的规范对于学科发展、中医学术体系的建设具有非常重要的意义。其翻译的混乱桎梏中医的国际发展。项目组在遵循中医术语对应性、同一性、系统性、简洁性、约定俗成、回译性、民族性等英译规范原则的基础上,参考英文学科命名习惯,广泛收集国内外标准词典及教材等资料中学科名称对应的英译名,结合中医学科的分科特点和术语的语言结构进行分类处理,择优选取推荐规范英译名,并对存在的问题进行了讨论。

Standardization of English TCM subject names is very important to the discipline development and the construction of TCM academic system, and the entangled translations limited its international development. Guided by specific standardization principles for English translations of TCM terms, we collected the English names of the concepts from international and Chinese standards, dictionaries and textbooks, referred to the English naming conventions of disciplines in other fields, and chose the standard English names according to the subject features and the language structure of a TCM term. And discussed related difficulties.
