中醫 的英文怎麼說？

Accepted Answer

中醫我們普遍認為是「傳統中國醫學」-

Traditional Chinese Medicine 簡稱ＴＣＭ

當你走進中醫診所，醫生會幫你「把脈」：

The doctor will take your pulse by pressing his fingers lightly
on your wrist.

啊年輕人你最近氣血不順，來「針灸、拔罐」一下，

TCM usually use acupuncture (註*) and cupping therapy to treat body illness.

然後再開一帖「中藥粉＋幾張藥膏貼布」回去早晚服用。

Take the herbal powder medicine after breakfast and dinner with warm water, apply the herbal patch to your affected part.

* (註：是一種用針在你的穴位上刺穿皮膚的療法 It's a treatment that uses needles to penetrate your skin on acupoints.)

中醫翻譯成英文怎麼用？

中醫就是 eastern medicine doctor. 美國也有很多人管中醫叫 Chinese doctor. Eastern指的是東方。中醫在外國人眼裡就是東方醫術的解釋。

* I have an appointment with an eastern medicine doctor today.

我今天跟一位中醫師有約。

*I have an appointment at an eastern medicine clinic today.

我今天跟中醫院有約。

不過eastern medicine 是屬於種類的說詞。一般實際情況下會直接叫名字。譬如陳醫師或醫院名字。

Answer

中医一般用traditional Chinese medicine来表达。在原声例句中会用TCM缩写来指代。

而中医医生常用的表达是Chinese doctors，也可以说traditional Chinese doctors避免歧义。

例句：He led the formulation of the TCM treatment protocol for COVID-19 patients.

The National Institute of Health, a division of the US Department of Health and Human Services, acknowledges: “TCM [Traditional Chinese Medicine] can be difficult for researchers to study because its treatments are often complex and are based on ideas very different from those of modern Western medicine.”

Answer

中醫博大精神，要怎麼描述呢?

我們就講個最簡單的方法吧

Traditional Chinese medical science = 傳統中國醫藥科學

依照Ricky 老師向來達意不達詞的亂翻譯習慣呢

我會覺得其實traditional chinese medical treatment 應該也是說得通的

只是要看看看前後文適不適用而已
如果是符合你要的描述，例如說: I want to try the traditional chinese medical treatment recently. = 我最近想試試看中醫的療法

這時候最後一個字用science 就會比較不適合囉

其實講英文最重要的還是要看你所表達的事情究竟到不到位，千萬不要拘泥於裡面的單字唷
