在17世纪，使用本土语言在科学出版物和交流中越来越被接受，并开始补充这一领域的传统语言，即拉丁语。科学和医学中使用的语言越来越多，对翻译人员的需求也越来越大。17世纪英格兰与低地国家之间的密切关系，导致了对政治和宗教问题的现有研究的关注，这在英荷语翻译研究中得到了反映。然而，在医学和科学领域，人们也发现通过翻译进行思想交流。荷兰人和英国人的语言能力往往不足以理解彼此的语言，这意味着翻译是至关重要的。通过考虑托马斯·布朗的《医学宗教》被翻译成荷兰语的例子，以及安东尼·范·列文虎克的信件和扬·巴普蒂斯塔·范·赫尔蒙特的出版物如何被翻译成英语的例子，本文考察了英吉利海峡两岸科学和医学思想的交流。
In the seventeenth century the use of vernacular languages became more and more accepted in scientific publications and communications, and began to supplement the traditional language in this field, namely: Latin. The increase in the number of languages used in science and medicine was accompanied by a heightened need for translators. The close relationship between England and the Low Countries in the seventeenth century has led to a focus in the existing research on political and religious issues, and this has been reflected in the study of translations between English and Dutch. Yet one also finds in the fields of medicine and science an exchange of ideas through translation. The language skills of both Dutch and English men and women were often not sufficient to understand each other's language, which means that translations were vital. By considering the examples of how Thomas Browne'sReligio mediciwas translated into Dutch, and how letters by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek and a publication by Jan Baptista van Helmont were translated into English, this essay examines the exchange of scientific and medical ideas across the Channel.
