【原文】綠源苔干有清熱降壓、通經(jīng)脈、壯筋骨、去口臭、解熱毒酒毒的功效。

【譯文】It has been proved that Lvyuan Taigan is able to produce certain medical effects,namely,to allay internal heat and fever,to reduce hypertension,to regulate and strengthen bodily functions,to relieve halitosis and to dispel the effects of alcohol.

【點(diǎn)評(píng)】“通經(jīng)脈、壯筋骨”、“熱毒酒毒”是中醫(yī)特有的說法，是中醫(yī)理論術(shù)語，若按字面直譯，恐怕西方讀者會(huì)摸不著頭腦。譯文使用比較通俗的“to regulate and strengthen bodily functions”和“to relieve halitosis and to dispel the effects of alcohol”來英譯，既有效地實(shí)現(xiàn)了原文的信息功能，又給讀者提供了充分理解原文思想的方便途徑。
