内容摘要

中医，作为中国特色的医药学，在一些西医学尚无良策的严重疾病的临床治疗上有独特效果。其价值逐渐被世界认可,使得中医的对外交流和推广得到支持。然而，不同国家对中医引进和发展的速度不一样。在这过程中，中医术语翻译中的出现的各种问题阻碍了中医在全世界范围内的推广。英语在中医的对外推广中扮演着重要的角色，在中医文献英译中，中医术语英译的质量起着非常重要的作用。然而，中医术语和误译，译语混乱和质量较差的现象并不鲜见。造成这种现象的原因之一是缺乏系统、恬当、切实可行的翻译理论的指导。这也是中医术语英甚至是整个中医英译工作面临的难题之一。翻译家、医学专家一直在努力着，试图找到最为切实可行的翻译理论，来提高中医翻译的质量。本文介绍了奈达功能对等理论的基本概念、理论特点和中医术语英译历史、重要性以及中医术语英译过程中出现的问题和解决策略。分析探讨了奈达功能对等理论对中医术语英译的指导意义并提出了在该理论的指导下的中医术语英译的原则和方法。在奈达功能对等理论的指导下，作者通过分析具体的翻译例子，研究发现，中医翻译并非普通的文献翻译，是医学科技翻译兼有文学翻译的特点。中医翻译最主要的目的是向读者传达医学信息，最优先考虑的是翻译作品的“读者”反应和接受。当保留语言形式和传递信息内容发生矛盾时，要牺牲形式，保留内容。在准确传达原文医学信息的基础上进一步体现源语言中的文化特色。在功能对等理论指导下的将中医术语整理归类，统一术语英译版本，建立统一词汇库，遵循中医翻译原则并灵活使用各种翻译方法。研究者最后提出本论文的不足之处并提出一些建议。
