English term

bifidus and acidophilus bacteria

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering Medical: Health Care Skin care
I suggest you eat a small pot of 'live' yogurt containing bifidus and acidophilus bacteria everyday.
发现网上译名不一。光bifidus bacteria 的译名就有:双歧杆菌、双歧乳杆菌、双叉乳杆菌、比菲德士菌等。这两种细菌的正确译名分别叫什么?
Proposed translations (Chinese)
5 +2 双歧乳酸杆菌
4 双歧嗜酸菌

As both acidophilus and bifidus bacteria are of great importance for the balance of the intestinal microflora, special products including both Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum have been developed.

双歧乳酸杆菌

其实这是一种细菌,不是两种。其中,bifidus意思是“二裂的,两叉的,二分的,双裂的”而acidophilus意思是“嗜酸的”,仅供参考。

对了,这是两种细菌,因为汉语中通常将其二者一并称为双歧乳酸杆菌而让人以为这是一种细菌。因此,这个翻译应该是比较准确的,约定俗成了,你非要说出二者的名字,中国人未必能明白。比如歌手组合SHE一样。
