Mr. Wiseman believes that West medical terms chosen as equivalents of Chinese medical terms should be the words known to all speakers and not requiring any specialist knowledge or instrumentation to understand or identify, and strictly technical West medical terms should be avoided regardless of their conceptual conformity to the Chinese terms. Accordingly, many inappropriate West medical terms are selected as English equivalents by the authors of the Dictionary, and on the other hand, many ready-made appropriate West medical terms are replaced by loan English terms with the Chinese style of word formation.The experience gained in solving the problems of translating West medical terms into Chinese when West medicine was first introduced to China is helpful for translating Chinese medical terms into English. How-ever, the authors of the Dictionary adhere to their own opinions, ignoring others experience. The English terms thus created do not reflect the genuine meaning of the Chinese terms, but make the English glossary in chaos. The so-called true face of traditional Chinese revealed by such terms is merely the Chinese custom of word formation and metaphoric rhetoric. In other words, traditional Chinese medicine is not regarded as a system of medicine but merely some Oriental folklore.
