A large number of English-Russian and Russian-English specialized dictionaries available to a translator usually contain only terms whose knowledge represents only a apart, although essential, of what is necessary to know to translate a coherent text. In addition to the terms the translator must know with what words the term can be combined in a sentence, what prepositions are need to govern definite verbs, at what place the needed adverb more often stands in a sentence, where to put punctuation marks that the thought expressed by a complex sentence could be understood by the reader; i.e., everything that perhaps at some time in the past was learned from textbooks, but was then forgotten with the passage of time. This book will aid in recalling the forgotten or learning the unknown. Nearly every term/word in this dictionary is accompanied by examples taken from the literature. Undoubtedly the expressions cited do not exhaust the possible versions of translation, but they may aid in expressing the thought in the English language more exactly and sometimes may even prompt a version of translation - the very context of examples can help the translator to select the variant needed. As the dictionary is intended for those who know the English language, explanatory marks are not used. The words and sentences are arranged so that the user could easily distinguish visually the word or word combination needed.

The contributors to "Translation and Medicine" address several broad aspects of medical translation, from the cultural/historic framework of the language of medicine to pragmatic considerations of register and terminology. Their articles highlight some of the contributions translation has made to medical science and addresses some of the questions raised by those who escort the advances of medicine across language and cultural barriers and those who train the next generation of medical translators.Section 1 covers some Historical and Cultural Aspects that have characterized the language of medicine in Japan and Western Europe, with special emphasis on French and Spanish; Section 2 opens some vistas on The Medical Translator in Training with two specific university-level programs in Switzerland and in Spain, as well as an in-depth analysis of who makes the better medical translator: the medically knowledgeable linguist or the linguistically knowledgeable medical professional; and Section 3 looks at several facets of The Translator at Work, with discussions of the translator-client relationship and the art of audience-specific translating, an insider s view of the Translation Unit of the National Institutes of Health, and a detailed study of online medical terminology resources.
