A Probe into the English Translation of Wu Yin-related Terminologies in Huang Di Nei Jing
The annotations of ancient medical scholars on Wu Yin are relatively scattered,and there is rarely a clear definition of the sounds of Wu Yin,which poses certain difficulties in translating the related terms of Wu Yin in Traditional Chinese Medicine.This paper combines source text interpretation and character analysis to probe into the translation of Wu Yin-related terminologies in four English translations of Huang Di Nei Jing,pointing out that translating the sound of Wu Yin as"tone"is more in line with its referent.The English transla-tion of Wu Yin in Traditional Chinese Medicine needs not only to faithfully convey the referent of the sound of Wu Yin,but also to accurately interpret the medical theory of Wu Yin therapy to target readers.
