Abstract

Abstract: Terms translation is the basis of scientific translation, and the differentiation and analysis of terms with similar meaning are especially important. In the field of biomedicine, “in vitro” and “ex vivo” are often mixed up in the translation of academic papers. This article tries to compare and analyze the differences between the two terms from the aspects of word build-up, English interpretation and application in real context.

Key words: term, translation, meaning, differentiation and analysis
