最新实用大型中医双语教学力作
——《（英汉对照）新编实用中医文库》评介

周仲瑛 南京中医药大学

上海中医药大学出版社于1990年出版了《（英汉对照）实用中医文库》，作为将中医药学理论与实践系统介绍到国外的首部外向型中医学著作，对推动中医学走向世界发挥了积极作用。由于该套丛书的出版发行已有10多年，部分内容已显陈旧，对中医学术体系的介绍还有一些欠妥之处，因此，上海中医药大学出版社特邀请南京中医药大学左言富教授担任总主编，组织全国中医各学科知名教授，根据近年来中医药教学、医疗、科研和对外中医留学教育的进展情况，重新编撰出版《（英汉对照）新编实用中医文库》。
该丛书由南京中医药大学主编，上海中医药大学主译。南京中医药大学校长项平教授担任编委会主任，南京中医药大学左言富教授担任编委会执行主任、南京中医药大学马健教授、杜文东教授、上海中医药大学李照国教授担任编委会执行副主任。著名医学英语翻译家、原西安医科大学英语系主任和卫生部外语培训中心主任邵循道教授、广州中医药大学欧明首席教授担任编译委员会顾问，朱忠宝教授、黄月中教授、陶锦文教授、李照国教授（执行）担任总编译。
全书由左言富教授任总主编，由潘朝曦教授、马健教授、杜文东教授协助，设计全书框架结构并主持全书编写工作。邀请了14位治学严谨、学验俱丰的著名专家担任各分册主编。组织全国数百名专家撰稿和英文译稿，并邀请了7个国家10位专家担任特邀外籍顾问。
《（英汉对照）新编实用中医文库》的编纂和翻译，充分发挥了南京中医药大学和上海中医药大学在高等中医药教育教学和教材编写方面的优势，吸收了作为WHO传统医学合作中心之一的两校，多年来从事中医药学国际培训交流的丰厚学术积淀和留学生学历教育的精深底蕴，对原《（英汉对照）实用中医文库》整体结构作了重大调整，以突出中医学术主体内容。全套丛书系统介绍了中医基础理论和中医辨证论治方法，讲解了中药学和方剂学的基本理论，详细介绍了236味中药、152首常用方剂和100种常用中成药；详述264种临床内、外、妇、儿、骨伤、眼、耳鼻喉各科常见病与多发病的中医辨证论治方法；系统论述针灸、推拿、中医养生康复的基本理论和基本技能，介绍针灸治疗病种70种、推拿治疗病种38种、各类养生实例及27种常见病证的中医康复实例。为了更加直观地介绍中医药学术，全书选用线图296幅、彩图30幅，并附有必要的索引，从而更加全面、系统、准确地向使用英语的国家和地区传播中医学术，推进中医学术走向世界，造福全人类。
本丛书主要具有以下特色：（1）科学性：在充分吸收近10余年来中医教学和科学研究最新进展的基础上，坚持突出中医学术精华，理论阐述准确，临床切合实用，向世界各国介绍“原汁原味”的中医药学术。是一部中医学术性著作，而非科普读物；（2）系统性：本套丛书包括《中医基础理论》、《中医诊断学》、《中药学》、《方剂学》、《中医内科学》、《中医外科学》、《中医妇科学》、《中医儿科学》、《中医骨伤科学》、《中医眼科学》、《中医耳鼻喉科学》、《中国针灸》、《中国推拿》、《中医养生康复学》14个分册，系统地反映了中医学全貌，系统反映了各学科建设与发展的最新成果；（3）实用性：临床各科由原丛书的上下两册，根据学科的发展进行大幅度的调整和增补，并针对海内外的临床实际，以中医病名为纲，有机结合西医病名，形成了临床各科独特体系，内容上突出临床实用性。比较详细地介绍了264种各科常见病、多发病的中医治疗方法，重点突出了针灸、推拿、养生康复等临床基本技能训练，并附有部分临床实例；（4）规范性：全书编排结构合理，层次清晰，对中医各学科名词述语表达规范，对中医英语翻译执行了更为严格的标准化方案，同时又充分考虑到使用英语国家和地区人们的语言习惯和表达方式。正如卫生部副部长、原国家中医药管理局局长朱庆生教授在序中所评价那样：“本套文库总主编左言富教授是中医药国际传播事业的有心人，曾主编研究国外中医药发展状况的专著《国外中医药概览》，……本套文库深谙国外的中医药发展现状，编写颇具匠心，在注重真实，不失精华的前提下，突出内容的简明、实用、易于掌握，力求科学而又通俗地介绍中医药学的深奥内容，重点阐述国外常见而中医药颇具疗效的疾病的防治”世界卫生组织传统医学协调官员张小瑞医生在序中指出：“这套文库可望成为具有一定英语水平的初学中医者和具有一定中文水平的外国中医爱好者学习基础中医学的系列教材。这套文库也可供世界卫生组织在编写国际针灸标准术语时参考”。全书666.8万字，不仅能满足具有一定英语水平的初学中医者系统学习之用，而且也为中医院校外国留学生教育及国内外开展中医双语教学提供了目前最新、实用、大型、最具权威的双语系列教材，同时也是中医出国人员进行中医药国际交流的重要工具书。
为了提高本书的编译水平和质量，促进中医药更广泛的在世界传播，爱尔兰针灸基金会主席萨利姆先生、意大利罗马“南京协会”主席亚历山大•古丽女士、意大利《医道》杂志主编卡塞拉•塞肯多博士、澳大利亚东方触觉疗法学院雷蒙特 •凯• 卡罗院长、英国中医药学会学术部长汤淑兰女士、英国著名中医学家马万里先生、美国中医师公会主席大卫先生、美国康州中华医疗技术中心主任施祖谷先生、德国中医中心主任赫尔木特先生、日本石上博先生等英语、中医造诣精湛的专家学者担任本丛书特邀外籍顾问。世界卫生组织西太平洋地区官员陈恳先生对本丛书的编写给予了热情鼓励。我国驻外教育机构，特别是中国驻英国曼彻斯特领事张益群先生、中国驻美国休斯敦领事严美华女士、中国驻法国使馆教育处一秘王季平先生、中国驻德国使馆教育处二秘郭胜英先生在与我们工作联系中，间接提供不少有益本丛书编译的资料，进一步提高了本书的质量。
本套丛书从1999年中文稿的动笔，到2003年3月全书的出版，历时3年半时间，完成了世纪的跨越。为了使本套丛书尽可能展示传统中医学术理论和临床实践的精华，达到全面、系统、准确、科学、规范、通俗的编写要求，全体编译人员耗费了大量的心血，付出了艰苦的劳动。河南、广州、南京、陕西、辽宁、山东等中医药院校英语专家的全力参与，确保本丛书具有较高的英译水平。

该丛书印制精美，装帧考究，分平装和精装两种印制规格发行。
