輝瑞疫苗|輝瑞疫苗的名稱Comirnaty太拗口?藥名這么怪都是有原因的! How to pronounce FDA-approved Comirnaty( 二 )


"It"s got to be a "blank canvas,"" Piergrossi said. "WHO requests that the prefix be meaningless. It can"t be a marketing tool."
皮爾格羅西說:“這部分必須是‘空白畫布’。世衛組織要求前綴不能有意義,不能作為營銷工具?!?br /> The suffix "meran" is used for mRNA vaccines, just as "caine" is the suffix for local anesthetics and "ast" is for anti-asthma drugs.
后綴meran 指代的是mRNA疫苗,類似的還有,地方麻醉藥名會用caine作為后綴,而ast是抗哮喘藥物名的后綴。
The Brand Institute began working on names for the vaccine in April 2020, when its German office contacted BioNTech, which is based there. (BioNTech is pronounced Bye-ON-tech, not Bye-oh-N-tech.)
2020年4月,品牌研究所德國辦事處聯系了總部位于德國的拜恩泰科公司,自那以后該研究所就開始思考如何給這一疫苗命名。(BioNTech的發音是Bye-ON-tech,不是Bye-oh-N-tech)。
Coming up with pharmaceutical names involves lots of money and database searches, Piergrossi said.
皮爾格羅西說:“藥物的命名過程要花很多錢,還要做大量的數據庫搜索工作。”
"We"re contending against hundreds of thousands of existing names, and any new brand name has to be dissimilar from everything else in those databases," he said.
他說:“我們是在和現有的無數名稱對陣,任何一個新名稱都必須不同于數據庫中的任何現有名稱?!?br /> There are lots of considerations, including screening for name similarities, intellectual property and internet domain availability.
要考量的因素很多,包括篩查相似的名稱、知識產權以及互聯網域名的可用性。
When a list of finalists is created, a cultural review is done.
在制定出候選名單后,還要進行文化審查。
"We do a linguistic screen in over 40 languages to make sure there"s nothing offensive or misleading," Piergrossi said. "It"s a disaster check, to make sure you"re not going to have any embarrassing situations."
皮爾格羅西說:“我們會在40多種語言中做文化審查,確保這個詞沒有冒犯性含義或容易產生歧義。這也是‘排雷’檢查,確保這個詞不會讓人陷入尷尬的境地?!?br /> More COVID-19 vaccines are in the regulatory pipeline, so more tongue-twister names are coming.
還有更多新冠疫苗正在走審批流程,所以接下來我們還會接觸到更多拗口的名稱。
The brand name of the Moderna vaccine is slated to be Spikevax, according to Piergrossi. The AstraZeneca vaccine"s is Vaxzervia.
據皮爾格羅西透露,莫德納疫苗的商品名將會是Spikevax,而阿斯利康疫苗的商品名則是Vaxzervia。
"There is a certain whimsical nature to pharmaceutical names," Piergrossi said.
皮爾格羅西說:“這些藥名總是有點怪怪的?!?br /> 英文來源:今日美國
