医学英语的翻译技巧和翻译策略探讨

英语作为一种国际通用语,不仅是获取信息的有力工具,而且是了解英语民族乃至整个世界的重要窗口.随着社会的进步和科技的发展,英语作为一种国际通用语的作用日趋突出.翻译是使用不同语言的人们互相沟通的纽带和桥梁,是运用一种语言把另一种语言所表达的思想内容准确而又完整地再现的语言活动.因而翻译本身并不是一门独立的创造性学科,它是用语言表达的一门艺术,是科学性的再创作.医学英语作为一种重要的科技文体,具有派生词多、正式词汇多、名词化结构多、长句多、被动句多、非谓语动词多、专业性强等特点,这些特点都是由医学文献的内容所决定的.因此,医学英语的翻译也有别于其它英语文体的翻译.随着国际学术交流的日益广泛,医学英语已经受到越来越多的重视,了解医学英语在词汇、语法结构上的特点,掌握一些医学英语的翻译技巧是非常必要的.以下对医学英语翻译技巧进行了探讨.

解剖学教材英文词汇与大学英语的学习

人体解剖学是一门重要的医学基础课,主要有系统解剖学、局部解剖学、断层(断面)解剖学和口腔解剖生理学等.医学院校大多数的专业都开设解剖学这门课程,所有的专业都学习英语课程,人体解剖学教材中出现的一些英语词汇本身就是大学英语教学中的词汇,因此解剖课教学中应及时地向学生介绍有关的知识,有利于两者的结合.

Oral anticoagulants: a literature review of herb-drug interactions or food-drug interactions

OBJECTIVE: To identify herbal medicines and food products which can interact with anticoagulant therapy. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Literature review using key words: "anticoagulants", "herb-drug interaction", "food-drug interaction", "drug chinese herbal", "medicine herbal", "plant preparation", "dietary supplements". Data sources: Medline (january 1966 to june 2006) and Pascal (1987 to 2006). Case reports, systematic reviews, in vitro studies, clinical studies published in french or in english (or with an english extract) have been undertaken. RESULTS: Eighty articles were selected (two both including a case report and a study): 14 systemic review, 43 case reports, 25 studies (17 studies in humans: nine randomized and controlled, three controlled), six controlled studies in animals and two in vitro studies. DISCUSSION: A wide range of herbal medicines and food products can interact with anticoagulants. Clinical relevance of these effects is difficult to characterise (nature of existing reports, contradiction between studies, difficult extrapolation to human). CONCLUSION: It is difficult to predict the incidence or severity of such interactions. However, awareness of these potential interactions is necessary to achieve optimal anticoagulation therapy: pharmacist can play a crucial role identifying such interactions in case of disturbed INR; clinicians should be informed to monitor closely the therapy, particularly when such products are started or discontinued.     

Practical considerations in the development of hemoglobin-based oxygen therapeutics

The development of hemoglobin based oxygen therapeutics (HBOCs) requires consideration of a number of factors. While the enabling technology derives from fundamental research on protein biochemistry and biological interactions, translation of these research insights into usable medical therapeutics demands the application of considerable technical expertise and consideration and reconciliation of a myriad of manufacturing, medical, and regulatory requirements. The HBOC development challenge is further exacerbated by the extremely high intravenous doses required for many of the indications contemplated for these products, which in turn implies an extremely high level of purity is required. This communication discusses several of the important product configuration and developmental considerations that impact the translation of fundamental research discoveries on HBOCs into usable medical therapeutics.     

The homeopathy or the myth of pure experience

Hahnemann and homeopaths have always hold that the origine of homeopathy was essentially experimental. The Hippocrate's method of observation, the experience with quinquina carried out by Hahnemann in 1790, and furthermore a similar experimental thought than the C. Bernard's one, are constantly put forward. The alchemist origins of homeopathy, in particular Paracelse, that old authors had found, have been scathingly denied. It stands yet to reason that the r?le of the paracelsian philosophy, through the german philosophy at the Hahnemann's time and the medical vitalism at its acme at that time, was crucial. Nevertheless, the direct part of contemporary physicians, specially english ones, as Nugent, J. Hunter and Cullen has been disregarded. Hahnemann, proudly, said nothing about his most important springs. The history of his ideas, the theorical and conceptual problems involved by the principle of similitude and not only the infinitesimality, show that homeopathy arises, not so much from experience as from theoretical ideas, and mind of system so current before C. Bernard. It can be easily showed that C. Bernard's epistemology, which is prevailing in biology today, is a logical obstacle to homeopathy.
