ABSTRACT
Along with the frequent international communication of TCM, translation of related classics becomes increasingly important. The translation of TCM classics' titles, which reveal the content of the classics, is equally essential. Dictated by the translating principles of standardization, correspondence, readability and nationalism, the paper analyzed the translation of TCM classics' titles containing modesty words, and put forward the following translation strategies translation: The method of foreignization is preferred for the translation of titles involving heterogeneous culture in order to retain the unique TCM concept while the method of domestication is advised for the translation of titles involving elements in conflict with the target culture; In the translation of TCM classics' titles containing modesty word(s), weakening or omitting the sense of self-depreciation is proposed. The paper aimed to contribute to the standardization of TCM nomenclature translation in order to promote international dissemination of TCM classics.

ABSTRACT
Objective]To explore and analyze its original implication of the eighth article in Chapter 22 from Jinkui Yaolve. [Methods]Through learning the Jinkui Yaolve closely and referring to the explanations of masters of generations,base on the original text to analyze and elaborate the etiology, pathogenesis, syndromes and therapeutic principles with regard to miscellaneous gynecological diseases.[Results] The eighth item is the general program of miscellaneous gynecological diseases,its principal pathogenic factors include deficiency, stale chills and stagnation of Qi.Moreover,the deficiency plays a leading role in the pathogenesis.Through exploring deeply,I hold that the pulmonary abscess is actually the pulmonary asthenia in the second sentence.When the pathogenic factors attack the body,the triple energizers manifest different symptoms and signs.There is no difference between male and female on the conditions which is confined to the upper warmer and the middle warmer.Such symptoms as pulmonary asthenia,chill colic,hypochondriac pain and abdominal pain,aching at the Guanyuan aera below the navel, asthenic fever,scaly dry skin etc.Their special dissertation distributes in other chapters of Jinkui Yaolve.Yet,the symptoms in the lower warmer which are only seen in the female,owing to deficiency-cold,blood-stasis and stagnation.[Conclusion] In history, Jinkui Yaolve firstly puts forward pulse syndrome complex and treatment of miscellaneous gynecological diseases,the core ideas on miscellaneous gynecological diseases of Zhang Zhongjing also have reference significance for the present.
ABSTRACT
Objective] To explore the concrete policies and approaches in Chinese-English translation for TCM classics. [Methods] Transformation from parataxis in Chinese to hypotaxis in English is expounded by converting thinking modes and grammatical structure, based on analyzing the characteristics of the two languages in semantic structure and grammar, including tenses, voices, etc. as wel as their relationship with thinking modes. Sentences in English version of Huangdi Neijing(The Inner Classic of Yel ow emperor) are taken as examples. [Results] The implicit logic in Chinese can be unfolded in an explicit fashion in English by restructuring sentences, adding subbjects and conjunctions. [Conclusions] The intrinsic and mutual relationship in or between sentences in source language should be identified before Chinese-English translation for TCM classics is done. Thereafter adjusting and reconstructing can be carried out according to the thinking modes and grammatical rules in target language, achieving semantic correspondence and faithfulness.
