Abstract:

Inquiry terms are one of the key elements of clinical terms of TCM. In combination of clinical practice, we discuss application of principles of correspondence, naturalization, popularity and culture in translation of inquiry terms of TCM. The statistical data in our research are collected based on three versions of English translation of TCM terminologies, including Chinese Terms in Traditional Chinese Medicine, WHO International Standard Terminologies on Traditional Medicine in the Western Pacific Region and International Standard Chinese-English Basic Terminologies of Chinese Medicine.

Key words: inquiry terms of TCM, clinical term, principles of translation
