Biomedical translation is a very delicate and professional work involving a large number of complex proper nouns and specific vocabulary. Compared with other fields, the relevant professional knowledge required in the translation process is more accurate, which requires translators to have deep medical scientific knowledge and good language skills. Here are some points to consider in biomedical translation:
1. First of all, we need to have an in-depth understanding of medical knowledge. Biomedical translation requires a certain understanding of relevant medical knowledge. This includes basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology. Understanding the context and content of the text is crucial to ensuring accuracy in translation.
2. Pay attention to the application and accumulation of professional terms. Professional literature in the biomedical field mainly describes knowledge in the professional field, so it requires extensive use of professional vocabulary. Since medical patent documents are accompanied by some instructions for others to use, and these instructions are mainly read by professionals and technicians in the field, professional terms are used very frequently in patent documents.
3. Pay attention to the characteristics of syntax. Because the biggest feature of the biomedical field is its professionalism and complexity, syntax is often expressed in long sentences so that multiple and closely related content can be clearly expressed. Therefore, compound sentences are one of the most important and obvious syntactic features in the biomedical field, and clauses and other sentence patterns that constitute long sentences are also more important sentence patterns. Therefore, in order to do a good job in biomedical translation, you must master and use these sentence patterns proficiently.
4. Pay attention to the correct use of new terms. New terms usually describe the most advanced technology in a certain field. Due to the development of modern science and technology, new terms often appear in the translation process. These new terms include technical terms and new species terms, which often appear in the field of new drug research and development. Therefore, special attention should be paid during the translation process. When the new terminology is not published, the translation should express what is intended to be expressed as accurately as possible, and the meaning of the original text should be appended to the annotation.
5. Maintain accuracy and consistency. Biomedical translation needs to accurately convey the meaning of the original text and ensure consistency of terminology and concepts. During the translation process, the original text and the translation are carefully compared to ensure that the translation meets the requirements of medical science.
6. Pay attention to cultural differences. Biomedical translation also needs to consider differences between different languages and cultures. Certain expressions, idioms, or cultural contexts may need to be appropriately adapted to ensure accurate communication and reception of the message.
7. Continuously learn and update knowledge. As knowledge in the biomedical field continues to be updated and developed, translators need to maintain a learning attitude and keep abreast of new medical discoveries, technologies, and terminology to improve the quality and accuracy of translation.
