Features: This book selects 1,000 (TCM) terminology and terms, translating each with examples to illustrate their usage. It provides concise and brief comments on the translation of some important concepts and terms to help readers understand and master the basic principles and methods of TCM English translation. The book primarily follows the fundamental theories elaborated in the author's previous works, "Introduction to TCM Translation" and "Skills in TCM English Translation," while also incorporating and referencing recent advancements in TCM translation research by domestic and international translators. Given the current confusion and predominantly dictionary-style translations of TCM terminology, this book strives for concise and clear translations, strictly adhering to the five principles of TCM terminology translation: naturalness, conciseness, informativeness, ethnic identity, and back-translation.
The [Explanation] following each entry serves as both an application example in translation practice and an annotation of the term's definition. Meanwhile, [Notes] and [Vocabulary] are specially designed to help readers thoroughly understand the terminology and quickly memorize related terms. To preserve the ethnic characteristics of TCM, the book particularly emphasizes back-translation, revising and retranslating many existing translations to maintain the original essence of TCM as much as possible.
