    摘要、提要註: This dissertation examines the fiercely debated and internationally contested practice of translating Chinese medicine from Chinese to English. Drawing upon 24 months of ethnographic fieldwork in a school of Chinese medicine in Southern California, including participant observation and video-recording in classes, the research also incorporates interviews with students, teachers, authors, publishers, and translators throughout the U.S. and China. Asking how the translation of Chinese medicine into both written and spoken English is enacted in the everyday worlds of participants, I develop an innovative model of "living translation" that locates text production, classroom interaction, and individual experience in a set of morally situated and constantly shifting social, political, and historical frames. Specifically, I discuss translation as the result of a series of ongoing, transformative acts of inscription, interaction, and embodied engagement as authors create texts that are later taken up in classroom and patient interactions. This dissertation thus traces the translation of Chinese medicine from text to practice with an eye towards the social, political, historical, moral, and personal dimensions involved in the transnational production of knowledge about health, illness, and the body. This type of cross-disciplinary inquiry is shown to have implications beyond Chinese medicine, specifically in the ongoing collaborative dialogue between sociocultural, linguistic, psychological, and medical anthropology.
