1:1 means your subject = the size of the image on you sensor i.e. 1/4 inch subject would result in an image that was 1/4 inch on your sensor
1/2 life size = an image on the sensor that is 1/2 times the true size of the subject. Using the example of 1/4 inch subject the image in the sensor would be 1/8 on an inch.
I have not defined the size of the sensor as it is irrelevant.
2:1, 3:1 etc. now are meaning the the image on the sensor is magnified twice and three times the true size of the subject. (some times notes as 2X, 3X etc)
