Ghostbusting means "removing ghosts", which are double-images. It comes from 
the movie "Ghostbusters", maybe you should check out the title in Chinese :-)

"Equalizer" is the name of a software, so it should probably stay like this

it corresponds to this in the Qt documentation (maybe there is a Chinese doc 
for Qt too):
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtopengl/qglformat.html#setSwapInterval

it means that left-right buffer swaps will happen every "X" vertical refresh

it is an internal object needed for converting a video from one size to another.

a canvas is a place in the GUI where you draw things, a bit like where you 
draw/edit the slide in powerpoint, or any graphics view.

Equalizer is a software library.

Well, if there is a chinese verison of the "OpenGL programming manual" (also 
called the Red Book), it shgould be in there!
