例析中医药术语英文规范的系统性原则

运用实例,从层级关系、属种关系、语义关系、结构关联关系等角度,阐释中医药术语英文规范的系统性原则。在英文规范中,不仅单个译名在词义上与源语要尽可能保持对等,而且译名体系与原文体系也要尽量保持同一性。译者既要照顾到单个译名在一组译名中呈现的细微差别,还要维护不同译名组群之间的相互关系。

On Systematic Principle of English Term Standards for Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology

This paper illustrates the principle of systematic for English term standards of Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology in the perspectives of linguistic hierarchy, semantic and structural relations. Not only a translated term should be equivalent to its original semantically in its own light, the terms in the target language should be consistent with those in the source language as well. Translator therefore have to take care of the subtle discrepancy of a single translated term as in its own group and the interrelationship of different translated terms as in their respective groups.
