Note from asker:
| In tables, sometimes the vertical and the horizontal writings mix in order to save some space. There should be some other letter/s above 外 (ex, 体外、除外）OR it could be an abbreviation of something in which case it should be explained what it represents at the bottom of the page (or somewhere else). These are just some speculations that I can think of. It would be much better if I could see the original table. |
| Hi Steve, Given the terms and their context, here are my interpretations: 1. CoV2Ag (鼻咽頭) 外: - 外: In a medical context, this could indeed imply "off-site" or "conducted at another facility." - My translation might look something like this: CoV2 Antigen (Nasopharyngeal) - External 2. CoV2Ag (鼻咽頭) 判: - 判: This is commonly used to denote the determination or result of a test. - My translation: CoV2 Antigen (Nasopharyngeal) - Determination 3. CoV2Ag (鼻咽頭) 定: - 定: In medical testing, this indicates a definitive or confirmatory test. I like the word definitive here. - My translation: CoV2 Antigen (Nasopharyngeal) - Definitive So, putting everything together, I would translate it as such: - CoV2Ag (鼻咽頭) 外: CoV2 Antigen (Nasopharyngeal) - External - CoV2Ag (鼻咽頭) 判: CoV2 Antigen (Nasopharyngeal) - Determination - CoV2Ag (鼻咽頭) 定: CoV2 Antigen (Nasopharyngeal) - Definitive Essentially, your initial suggestion regarding 外 is correct! |
