disease or condition

Reduced functioning of the immune system, usually as a result of a disease or condition such as HIV infection.

disease和 condition都有疾病的意思,放在一起的话如何区分呢?
谢谢!

HIV感染并不等同于致命的艾滋病。关于这个请看;http://cn.aids120.com/00/0renshi/changshi/200352403730.htm。“当感染艾滋病毒(即感染HIV)后,多数成为无症状艾滋病毒携带者或表现症状不明显,即医学上称为亚临床患者,仅部分病人出现有临床症状”。“艾滋病毒感染后的3~6周,可出现全身不适、发热、寒战、关节痛、腹泻等症状,持续7~14天,2~3个月后可出现血清抗体阳性,随后感染者转为无症状期(潜伏期)”。
Bill Lao Feb 26, 2008:
哈,我费了九牛二虎之力还是没办法说服楼主,或还是无法说清楚。“疾病”属于“异常状况”,也可以说“疾病”是“异常状况”的一部分;“异常状况”是个大圆,而“疾病”是位于这个大圆内的一个小圆。我们不能说“某某是疾病或异常状况的结果”,就像我们不能说“乘轿车或汽车去北京”一样(但我们可以说“乘轿车或火车去北京”)。
Han Li (asker) Feb 26, 2008:
谢谢各位!我又在这个提问页面徘徊了十几分钟,但还是不能决定该选哪个,关闭问题的话对不起大家的劳动,而选择也只能选一个答案,所以我就只能随便选一个了,还请大家不要见怪!

核子反应炉已出事,辐射已外泄,核子尘已飘了大半个地球,那些专家还说:这个问题需要专家来解决,不是核子工程师可以解决的。嗯,原来专家也还不是专家,翻译者也还不是翻译者。但奇怪,怎么每个人都那么喜欢当专家,每个翻译者往往都觉得自己的翻译实在“完美”、实在“无懈可击”。Such conditions like this 有那么严重吗?建议close the question ungraded,理由:not resolved;或随便选个答案,给个一分到四分,关闭问题就好。做翻译倒没有必要那么“颤巍巍”地。
Bill Lao Feb 26, 2008:
一般认为,翻译是一项简单的和机械性的工作,似乎只要是大学文化,或专业硕博士,谁都可为,其实不然。搞翻译,既要有专业、文化背景,懂外语,还要熟练掌握本国语文,且有一定的深度,应该说是一项需要综合知识的专业性相当强的工作。可能比很多研究工作要高深。从这个例子及楼主上一个问题的例子中也可以看出一二,两个词汇,一句话的翻译,几十位专业人士,忙活了十多天,还是搞不明白。搞翻译还需要敬业精神,这也很重要。
Wenjer Leuschel (X) Feb 25, 2008:
@JY: 嗯嗯,由于身体不适的长期状态,感觉身体出了状况,等到发现疾病就有了有明显的症状;前头身体不适的状态和的感觉到的状况,都是主观的不明显的症状;到医院用仪器检查发现的疾病,那就是明显的症状。所以,前头的是condition,后头的是symptom? Now, we got here a real condition.
Bill Lao Feb 25, 2008:

condition和disease是包含的关系,但在此处的context下,condition代表的是一种与disease(一种状况)并列的另一种状况。
Bill Lao Feb 25, 2008:
疾病也是一种状况,你去查字典,它会告诉你疾病是一种什么什么的condition。但我们不能说“患了某种疾病或某种状况”,就像我们不能说“乘轿车或汽车”一样。
jyuan_us Feb 24, 2008:
突然感覺LAI‘AN說的“長期性” 好像有一定道理。DISEASE有時指需要立即看門診或住院的病﹐比如急性炎症﹐ 腦卒中等﹔而狀況是指CHRONICAL DISEASE﹐例如冠心病﹐高血壓等。不過在這個句子中﹐HIV INFECTION如果僅僅表示帶原而未發病(潛伏期)﹐就還真不能稱為一種疾病﹐只能說是一種狀況。
jyuan_us Feb 24, 2008:
這裡是應當區分的﹐因為原作者的用意就是想把兩者區分開﹐再有﹐如果把本來稱不上疾病的身體狀況成為疾病﹐有點政治不正確﹐這就是為什麼英文老愛區分開得原因。比如更年期綜合徵﹐在美國這裡就不能說是ILLNESS只能說是一種異於平時的“狀況”。否則一起人閑著沒事兒就該跳出來吵了。還有像B肝帶原者﹐本身是一種異常狀況但你不能說它是ILLNESS﹐如果因為帶原而在昇學就業時應為其狀況被歸類為疾病而遭到另眼相看﹐就會被定性為歧視。
Bill Lao Feb 24, 2008:
可查一下英文词典,condition涵盖的范围比disease广。比如看烟花,看多了,有点目眩,此时我们不可以说患了疾病即disease,但可以说有点不适即condition。condition在此处就是表示这样的意思。此外,翻译不要死抠字眼,要理解作者所要表达的意思,还要考虑中文语法。
Han Li (asker) Feb 23, 2008:
多谢各位的热心帮助!可我真的不知道该如何选择答案了,大家说的都有一定的道理,就我个人来看,我有点倾向于只用“疾病”统称,但大家也指出了在某些情况下就不一定对了,因此我很难抉择。
Bill Lao Feb 23, 2008:

搂主队这个问题久久不能了决。之前我对一些翻译提出过反对意见,本着负责的精神,我在下边针对那些意见进行了一些详细的说明。希望对大家有所帮助。另外,为了节省大家时间,以民主、科学的名义,认可我说得对的,请说Y;不认可的请说N,并请指教。

@LAI' AN: your pre-existing condition ismost used in the context of deciding the qualification of the patient to join a health insurance program, which simply means a chronic illness what would increase the medical cost. It has nothing to do with 疑难杂症。
Wenjer Leuschel (X) Feb 20, 2008:
嗯,像"disease or condition"这类的翻译问题,简单说,就是“解读上的一些疑难杂症”(pre-existing interpretational condition),它们都是很难预先解读的字词,或者是些超出现有的翻译水平所能解读翻译的字词,比如涅槃或南无阿弥陀佛等。

a disease or condition﹕在這裡﹐disease並非具體指AIDS﹐泛指任何可能導致免疫功能減弱的疾病。 condition也是泛指﹐HIV感染只是作為例子提出。雖然通篇講的可能都是關於HIV/艾滋病的內容。就句意本身來說﹐兩個詞都是泛指。

Aha? http://www.webmd.com/baby/guide/medical-conditions-pregnancy... "Any medical condition that can affect you when you're not pregnant may have a significant effect on your pregnancy."
lhcm Feb 18, 2008:
所有的疾病disease都属于“medical condition (需要医疗/医护的状态)”,但不是所有的medical condition (需要医疗/医护的状态),都属于疾病disease。
例如妊娠,它是一个(medical) condition (需要医疗/医护的状态),但是它不是一个疾病disease。除非是异常妊娠,才是疾病,同时也是一个(medical) condition。
lhcm Feb 18, 2008:
人类免疫缺陷病毒感染状态=人类免疫缺陷病毒感染状态(初期)+人类免疫缺陷病毒感染状态(发展阶段)+人类免疫缺陷病毒感染状态(末期),也就是“获得性免疫缺陷综合征/艾滋病(AIDS)”时期。
lhcm Feb 18, 2008:
处于“人类免疫缺陷病毒感染(HIV infection)状态”跟“获得性免疫缺陷综合征/艾滋病(AIDS)是两个相关而又区别的概念。通常而言,当受到“人类免疫缺陷病毒感染”后,人就处于“人类免疫缺陷病毒感染”状态,其免疫系统就会随着时间的增长而受到不同程度的,越来越严重的损坏,当受损达到一定程度,就导致综合征出现,就成了“获得性免疫缺陷综合征/艾滋病(AIDS)”。注意,免疫系统受损,在“感染状态”---〉发展---〉“艾滋病”这整个过程中,都是存在的,而且是越来越严重。因此,在初期处于“感染状态”的时候,免疫系统已经开始受到损害,此时,受损程度还没有达到导致出现“症状(symptom)”。那么,这个受感染者,是处于“感染状态”。还没有到达“艾滋病”的程度。
immunocompromised - 免疫受损
Reduced functioning of the immune system, usually as a result of a disease or condition such as HIV infection
免疫系统功能的减弱/降低,通常因疾病或疾病状态造成,例如人类免疫缺陷病毒感染状态。
(这个对“免疫受损”的解释,具体到“人类免疫缺陷病毒”方面而言,就把“人类免疫缺陷病毒感染状态”的任何一个时期中,不管是初期,还是末期(发展成艾滋病)中的免疫受损都包括进去了。)
如果把那个解释变为以下这种情形,所包含的意思就不完全了。请看:
immunocompromised - 免疫受损
Reduced functioning of the immune system, usually as a result of a disease such as AIDS
免疫系统功能的减弱/降低,通常因疾病造成,例如“获得性免疫缺陷综合征/艾滋病(AIDS)”
(这个解释,就漏掉了:人类免疫缺陷病毒感染状态的初期到AIDS阶段之间的,那些由于处于感染状态而导致的免疫系统受损。)

CONDITION是隐语来着。英语里一阵一阵的和汉语一样就不爱说“你有病”,但说你有某种CONDITION倒可以。这里的AND联系着的是同位语,两者意思没太大区别。非要把CONDITON翻译出来,就连同那个AND一起译为“或者说状况”。

这个没必要较真儿。无非就是严重疾病和轻微疾病的区别。比如花粉过敏,整天打喷嚏流鼻涕,英文里还称不上DISEASE,所以就用CONDITION表示。大病和小病,在中文里都是病,完全可以用一个词涵盖。现在英文里也有单独用CONDITION表示疾病的倾向。

状态 definitely = condition, 状况 definitely = situation. That's too rigid an interpretation.

Regarding 状态 and 状况, I think we have to go back to the original meanings of 态 and 况. http://www.zdic.net/zd/zi/ZdicE6Zdic80Zdic81.htm and http://www.zdic.net/zd/zi/ZdicE5Zdic86ZdicB5.htm Note that we often say "身体出了状况" instead of "身体出了状态". So we can't say
lhcm Feb 15, 2008:
medical condition不总是表示“疾病状态”,只是问题中的那种情形下,是关于疾病状态的,所以,在整个句子的建议译文中,我用了“疾病状态”,以便跟前面的disease呼应。怀孕,属于一个medical condition(医护/医疗状态),它需要不同平常的照料。但是不属于疾病,除非出现了疾病。例如,高龄妊娠,就是一种特别要注意的“medical condition".
Wenjer Leuschel (X) Feb 15, 2008:
嗯,“疾病状态是针对正常状态而言”,那么“疾病状态”不就是“病状”或“病态”吗?有“病状”不就有“症状”吗?再谈下去恐怕会出现更多“病态”了,所以就此打住。

她在怀孕的这样一个状态下-----
Wenjer Leuschel (X) Feb 15, 2008:
How about "She is in such a condition of pregnancy."? :o)
lhcm Feb 15, 2008:
或者,是一种语言习惯问题,在中文的医学书中,通常看到这样的表达“正常状态”“应激状态”“免疫状态”“感染状态”“无菌状态”“应答状态”等等,于是,对于状态这个词,就用了一种感觉,在那里用它的那种语感。
lhcm Feb 15, 2008:
为什么用“状态condition”,不用“状况situations”/“情形situations/circumstances ”。
因为,疾病状态是针对正常状态而言,一个从正常到异常的变化发展过程。用“状态”这个词来描述事物变化发展过程中所表现的内在属性,例如:从静止状态,到运动状态;从平衡状态到不平衡状态;从稳定状态到不稳定状态。至于“状况”/“情形”则是用来描述外观现象的,例如,对于运动,这个属于事物内在属性的描述,就用运动状态----动态还是静态。如果硬要用“状况”/“情形”,就显得不恰当了。

Should a condition be a 状态, why not call it a 情况 or 状况? Both of the latter are all right for me. I didn't study medicine and I am not sure of the distintion between a disease and a condition or that between a condition and a symptom. Can anyone be sure?
lhcm Feb 15, 2008:

lhcm Feb 15, 2008:
To wenjer: The difference between symptoms/症状 and signs体征: the former is usually subjective, observed by the patient, and not measured. The later is objective, detected by a doctor during a physical examination of a patient. For example: pain is a symptom experienced by the patient. We cannot use a device to measure how much pain the patient is feeling. For example, high blood pressure, it is a sign not symptom, it is detected by a blood pressure measuring device.
Wenjer Leuschel (X) Feb 15, 2008:
So, there are some 症兆 or 症状 telling that he is having some condition which will lead eventually to some symptom that may indicate he has some disease. Isn't it so?

If there isn't a commonly agreed distinction, how can we be sure that both 症状 and 症兆 mean the same thing? That is exactly the trick to have the term "disease" used together with "condition" and the "condition" used together with "symptom"!
Wenjer Leuschel (X) Feb 15, 2008:
We have the terms "disease," "condition" and "symptom" to distinguish and there isn't any agreed distinction between them. My question would be: Why should a symptom be otherwise than a condition?

In Chinese, 症状and 症兆 virtually means the same, i.e. symptom.
Shirley Lao Feb 15, 2008:
By saying that there is no universally agreed distinction between these terms, I do not mean these terms may be freely translated. I only mean that there is no general consensus on their usage and interpretation.

疾病或异常(身体)状况

Reduced functioning of the immune system, usually as a result of a disease or condition such as HIV infection.

仔细看了语境,在这句话中,两者确实应该区别开。单说疾病或状况似乎不前面,因为身体状况既可以包括很虚弱不健康,也可以包括很健康很结实。

疾病

个人以为,用疾病一词即可。
查美国传统词典,condition的解释是A disease or physical ailment。该词涵盖了disease 的意思,同时似乎含义更广泛些,physical ailment指身体的小病,不适等。这两个词并用,应该是泛指一切疾病。供参考

疾病或状态

Reduced functioning of the immune system, usually as a result of a disease or condition such as HIV infection.

Condition here refers to “medical condition(疾病状态)”。

免疫系统功能减弱/降低,通常是疾病造成或疾病状态造成,例如人类免疫缺陷病毒感染状态。

就以上这句话提到的例子,“疾病(disease)”是“AIDS(获得性免疫缺陷综合征/艾滋病)”,疾病状态(medical condition)是“HIV infection人类免疫缺陷病毒感染(状态)”。
以上这种“condition/状态”,随着时间,将越来越严重,最后发展成“综合症”(AIDS),出现多种症候群。

Conclusion: symptom(症状)=/=signs(体征)=/=condition/状态=/=disease/疾病
尽管有时候,人们所指的症状(symptom)包括了症状和体征,但是,在描述一个疾病时,症状和体征是有区别的。处于一种疾病状态,不一定有症状表现;疾病状态跟疾病有联系,但在某些语境中,指的不是同一个概念。例如,该问题提到的疾病状态“HIV infection”,在感染的初期,不一定有症状的出现。当免疫系统受损达到一定程度,各种症状和体征就表现出来了,当各种综合征出现时,就成了疾病“艾滋病/AIDS”。

以上几个概念,有联系,但不等同。这是我用=/=的原因,而不是说,它们之间没有联系。

请仔细看以上的解释和notes部分的讨论。状况=situations 状态=condition, state=状态(but not used in the context concerned here), status=状况,例如:婚姻状况 marriage status(married or single or divorced etc), 住房状况 residential status(owner, buyer, renting etc). Thanks!
disagree chica nueva : a medical condition you are right. but it means an illness, allergy etc, or a chronic condition like diabetes. see 'preexisting medical conditions 原有疾病' in insurance contracts for examples. chronic condition = 慢性病患病 condition 指長期影響身體某部位的健康狀況

Since pregnancy is considered as a medical condition,in your opinion, do you think pregnancy is a disease then? After you tell me that,we can discuss more in this regard.Thanks!
disagree Bill Lao : should be 疾病或不适/Hi hc-ha,请见我在回答中的解释。这个词与disease连用比较的时候,指的是身体方面不适或小病小痒/Hi,翻译切勿太迷信英文,英文错的时候很多。关于这个我是这么理解的,不一定对,HIV感染不等于是艾滋病,感染时人可能只是感觉到一些不适,但并无立即发艾滋病。/疾病或状态,这两个词是包含的关系,列为并列选择的对象,像上一个翻译“疾病或症状”一样,语法错误。

condition such as HIV infection--- You consider HIV infection as "小病小恙"的不适? Creative thinking! Have a nice day.问题中这两个词同时出现了,condition such as HIV infection,人类免疫缺陷病毒感染---属于“小病小痒”?

疾病或病症

这里的condition可以理解为a diseased or morbid condition,与症状(symptom)不能混淆。

疾病或不适

disease or condition,我认为,这两个词放在一起的时候,condition一般指的一些身体的不适或小病小恙,可翻译成不适。

disagree Weiping Tang : 常人都知道“不适”即“不舒服”=discomfort,是个主观感受,与condition两码事,居然能混为一谈实,更居然有这么多人持“同意”态度,实为奇观。

a disease or condition such as = 某一个(具体)疾病或其他病症/病如

美国的医疗保险制度由HIPAA 这样非常详细的法案规制,而就是这样各大医疗保险机构却在“pre-existing medical condition”上做足了文章。“pre-existing medical condition”简单的说就是一些疑难杂症,它们大都是很难预先确诊的疾病,或者是些超出现有的医疗水平的难以治愈的疾病,比如癌症或艾滋等。保险公司当然不愿看着自己的钱投向对这样的无底洞,所以他们往往对pre-existing medical condition部分的费用不予赔付。

disease usage 用法: Compare 比较 disease and 和 illness. A disease is a particular medical condition with a particular cause. It is often serious and long-lasting. disease 是指某一具体病因引起的特定的病症,病情通常较重,而且持续时间长. AIDS is one of the most alarming diseases of modern times. 爱滋病是一种当代最令人惊恐的疾病. Illness is a more general word for the state of being unwell, and an illness is not always serious. illness 时表示身体不适的一般用词,病情并不一定严重. At this time of year some children are always absent from school because of illness. 每年这个时候,有些孩子总要因生病而缺课.(朗文进阶词典)

condition (Colloq.) = an illness, ailment eg a lung condition (Collins Concise English Dictionary) -> IMO (一般用词)肺病,心脏病,等

病症 = 病 (现代汉语词典)

Diseases and illnesses 疾病和身體不適Illness is a general wordfor a period of not beingin good health.illness 為廣義用詞,表示身體不適:2He died unexpectedlyafter a short illness.想不到他身體欠佳沒多久就去世了。

Having a disease 患病People usually talk abouthaving a disease or anillness.患病常說 have a disease /an illness

又见chronic condition = 慢性病患病 -> condition = 患病

Peer comment(s):

disagree jyuan_us : All the references you cited don't fit into this context. In the asker's context, the term is quite different to a "pre-existing" condition, which just means a disease. The asker needs to distinguish between a condition and a diseases here in this case.
