    Journal: Zhongguo Zhong Xi Yi Jie He Za Zhi; 2007 Sep; 27(9):851-2. PubMed ID: 17969905.
    Abstract:
    Aiming at the problem concerning simplification or over-elaboration in the English translation of TCM, which exists in the most common teaching materials both at home and abroad, the author indicated, by way of illustration, that the English translation of TCM should match the international teaching requirement for TCM: popularized, simple and clear, without superfluities, recommended for applying Chinese Pinyin, rich and colorful in both text and illustrative atlases. Meanwhile, the English translations should be faithful to their origi-nals, conform to the characteristics of TCM and vulgarity should be avoided.
