That is why it is now usually translated as ＂cancer＂ or ＂carcinoma＂, which is adopted in the WFCMS Standard. To translate it as ＂rocky mass＂ in the WPRO Standard appears quite unique and sounds semantically equivalent to the original term.展开更多

One thing that can't be ignored is that the essence of TCM translation is to retain theoriginal meaning and make it be received. This requires the translator to balance the use of domestication and foreignization intranslation. There are some examples in three situations of TCM translation respectively:clinical interpretation of TCM, TCM texttranslation and TCM terms translation.展开更多

The authors find that the development of a terminology standard for TCM has generally progressed from early approaches that were ill-suited to the contemporary needs to culturally and professionally referenced approaches, from uncoordinated research to systematic studies, and from individual works to collaborative endeavors. The present international standards of TCM terminology have been attained through the work of numerous scholars and experts in the history of the field. The authors are optimistic that a more comprehensive and recognized standard will come out soon.展开更多
