摘要
随着中医在西方日益受到欢迎,具有特色和难度的中医翻译也成为一个显著的课题。本文以"哲学理念"和"科学概念"为宗旨,分别从中医翻译的难症、中西医两套医学符号系统的梳理以及"理念"与"概念"间的"假设等同"及其转述策略等三个方面,对此进行探讨。
As traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is increasingly popular in the West, the translation of its literature and especially the need to convey its unique conceptual system to the western readers have also emerged as a prominent issue that gives rise to considerable difficulties for translators. Unlike the western medicine (WM), where medical terms are essentially scientific concepts, the medical terms in TCM are mainly philosophical ideas. Taking the difference as its point of departure, this paper discusses the intricacy of TCM transition in reference to the two different sets of medical symbols in TCM and WM, their communication, and the three kinds of strategies in carrying out a proper rendition of TCM in terms understandable in WM.
