  Abstract: The paper investigated the use and attitudes of non-medical workers towards professional and popular expressions of medical terms by means of a questionnaire survey. The results show that the use of popular expressions of medical terms dominates in various occasions; the differences of attitudes among different age groups is significant; respondents who felt the inconvenience of multiple expressions of medical terms showed a stronger attitude towards standardization of medical terms. Suggestions on the planning and promotion of medical terms are put forward, including attaching importance to both the practical significance of terminology popularization and the value of terminology language standardization, dialectically treating terminology standardization, strengthening health science popularization and technical services of terminology conversion, and paying attention to language ethics.

  Key words: Medical Terms; Professional Expressions; Popular Expressions; Health Science; Language Ethics
