基于中医术语翻译评价模型的脏腑隐喻英译研究
Research on Metaphorical Translation of Zang-Fu Organs Based on the Evaluation Model for Traditional Chinese Medicine Term Translation
摘要
Abstract
The cross-cultural interpretation of metaphorical terms in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)plays a pivotal role in promoting the international communication of TCM.Based on the evaluation model for TCM term translation constructed by Professor ZHAO Yanchun,this study explores the similarities and differences in metaphorical translations of Zang-Fu organs between the International Standard Chinese-English Basic Nomenclature of Chinese Medicine(ISNTCM)issued by the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies and the WHO international standard terminologies on traditional Chinese Medicine in the Western Pacific Region(2022)(WHO22)from five dimensions:Distinctiveness,Motivation,Transparency,Coordination,and Simplicity.The research findings reveal that both standards exhibit issues in the translation of Zang-Fu terms,such as incomplete translation of alternative names for Zang-Fu organs,over-literal translation leading to loss of connotations,and misalignment in the translation of cultural imagery.This study validates the applicability of the multi-dimensional evaluation model in assessing the translation of metaphorical TCM terms and suggests that subsequent revisions of the standards should enhance the metaphorical representation in translations by establishing a multi-dimensional evaluation system,deepening the mechanism of metaphorical transcoding,and promoting cultural adaptation strategies,thereby strengthening the international interpretive power of TCM theories.关键词
