English term or phrase: Respirator and breathing apparatus
在工业卫生、劳动保护专业中,respirator和breathing apparatus往往都翻译为“呼吸器”。但两者出现在同一句子中,则如何区别?
能否将respirator翻译为防毒面具,而breathing apparatus为呼吸器?或者相反?
这两个名称的区别在哪里?

breathing apparatus:呼吸装置
在工业卫生、劳动保护专业中,呼吸装置应该是像矿工和消防员背上背的装置。

respirator and breathing apparatus
呼吸面罩与呼吸器


Explanation:
FYI,个人觉得应根据具体语境,如若是指医院方面的设备,应翻译为呼吸机和呼吸设备,但是如果是指人员自身携带的设备,考虑呼吸面罩和呼吸器更好。breathing apparatus在个人设备中一般是呼吸器,相应的respirator应指脸部面罩,但是防毒面具似乎比较怪异,呼吸面罩可能更合适。

仅供参考。 另:可在search tool中输入关键词查找图片,看看一般指什么东西。
