The Application of “An Approach toTranslation as Adaptation and Selection”in Chinese to English Translation ofOrthopedic Terminology fromTraditional Chinese Medicine

摘要: 《中西医结合骨伤科临床手册》一书是对中西医结合骨伤科基本理论进行高度概括，从临床实际的角度出发，基本涵盖了骨伤科常见疾病的临床工作重点和诊疗思路。对该书的翻译，可以扩大读者群体，帮助医科院校的中外学生更好的学习。中医骨科术语方面的翻译是其中的一个挑战。本文以翻译适应选择论为视角，从语言、文化、交际三个维度对《中西医结合骨伤科临床手册》中出现的中医术语的不同译文进行分析讨论，指出较合适的译文。通过对中医骨伤术语翻译进行分析比较，以期为今后的中医术语翻译工作提供一些借鉴。

Abstract: Clinical Handbook of Orthopedics of the Integration of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, a high-level summary on the essential theory of orthopedics, is a book covering the clinic points and rules of diagnosis and treatment on common diseases in orthopedics from clinical perspective. The English version of this book is helpful to own more readers, such as foreign students in universities and colleges of Traditional Chinese medicine, as well as Chinese students. However, the translation of TCM orthopedic terminology is one of the challenges. Therefore, this paper will discuss and analyze different versions of TCM orthopedic terms in that book from adaptive selections in linguistic, cultural and communicative dimension of Hu Gengshen’s theory that approaches translation as adaptation and selection, and propose a better version. I hope the analysis and comparison of different versions of TCM orthopedic terms could provide enlightenments for TCM terminology translation in the future.
