“椭圆曲线”的英语表达是 elliptic curve。在数学和密码学等领域，该术语被广泛使用。例如：
In number theory, an elliptic curve is a smooth, projective algebraic curve of genus one. （在数论中，椭圆曲线是一条亏格为一的光滑射影代数曲线。）
Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is a public-key cryptography system based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. （椭圆曲线密码学（ECC）是一种基于有限域上椭圆曲线代数结构的公钥密码系统。）
