中医正骨推拿手法名称标准化英译的研究

目的：探讨中医正骨推拿手法名称标准化英译的原则和方法。方法：采用人工、计算机检索等对国内外主要中医正骨推拿著作、杂志和医学词典中涉及中医正骨推拿手法的名称、种类、数量和英文翻译等进行了统计、分析和对比。结果：共检出手法228种，其中出现频度最高的手法36种。单种手法翻译最多的不足10次，具有英文翻译的手法名称达40种，国外手法30多种。在对中外手法名称、操作和英文译名进行对比分析的基础上，拟定了中医正骨推拿基本手法名称英译原则及方法（讨论稿），对30种基本手法名称进行了标准化英译的尝试。结论：中医正骨推拿手法分类细，流派多，使手法的名称大量增加，且英译名少而又缺乏规范，有必要尽快开展中医正骨推拿手法名词的分类、命名等的规范化工作。
