Threes and Fours

English to Chinese Medical Medical: Cardiology
内窥镜下放置肠道支架治疗肠腔狭窄时,试探性扩张狭窄处时有一种约定俗成,先用较细的扩张探子,然后再逐渐增大探子直径,但在第一次试探后不得再试三次以上。故有'Rule of Threes'之说。

在一道多选题中,还有其它几种选择:
'Rule of Threes'
Rule of Fours'
'Three rules of Threes'
'Four rules of Fours'

现在的迷惑是如何处理这些Threes and Fours

“rule of threes”是西方的一种哲学观念,大概始于亚里士多德。意思是说,万事大致都可分为三个组成部分。后来黑格尔德正、反、合的辩证法,是这种思想的极致。

中国人也说“事不过三”、“一鼓作气,二而衰,三而竭”、“三人行必有我师”等等,包含的是相近的哲学思维。

变通一下,可以译为:

试不过三法则

后面的其他选择,从实用的角度讲,只要是中国学生比较容易混淆的,或形式比较接近的就可以,不必拘于英文原文。可考虑:

试不过四法则
试不过三之三法则
试不过四之四法则
