中藥和西藥各有各的特點和效力，中藥都有哪些優(yōu)勢
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A:I understand that Chinese medicine is based more on natural products while western medicine more on chemical products. Are Chinese people more accustomed to Chinese medicine?
 
我知道中醫(yī)更多地注重天然藥物而西醫(yī)則更多注重化學(xué)藥品。比起西藥，中國人是不是更多習(xí)慣吃中藥？
 
B:It is hard to tell. Because as far as I know, Chinese medcine and western medcine had their own characteristics, with differents affects for a specific illnesses. For example, one of Chinese medcines' benefits is in specific areas such as certain chronic diseases.
 
很難說。因為中藥和西藥各有各的特點和效力，例如，對某些特定的慢性病來說，中藥要比西藥好。
 
A:What other differences are there between Chinese and western medicine?
 
那么中藥都有哪些優(yōu)勢呢？
 
B:Since Chinese medicine believes that the different parts of the human body are all interrelated, it strives to bring balance to the body as a whole. In contrast, western medicine considers the human body as a machine made up of individual and independent parts.
 
治療慢性病方面吧。中醫(yī)認為，人身體里的各個部位都是相互影響的，所以中醫(yī)更注重對整個身體的調(diào)理。而西醫(yī)的治療方法是把人體當(dāng)作一臺由許多零件組成的機器來之治療，因此更注意對人體部分的調(diào)節(jié)。
 
A:It sounds like Chinese medicine is more wholesome than western medicine. However, 70% of the medicine is western medicine. Why do people buy western medicine instead of Chinese medicine?
 
事實上，聽起來好像中藥比西藥更有益于健康。然而，人們消耗的西藥占總消耗藥量的 70% 。既然中藥真的比西藥好，為什么人們還去買西藥？
 
B:As I mentioned earlier, Chinese medicine is more effective for specific diseases. Chinese medicine does not represent the whole pharmaceutical market, only about 20-25% of it. There are certain categories of pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics that are not included in Chinese traditional medicine.
 
正如我剛才所說，中藥治療某些特殊疾病的確很有效，但它在所有藥品中只占 20% 到 25% 的比例，并沒有成為整個醫(yī)藥市場的中流砥柱。像抗生素之類的藥品，在傳統(tǒng)中藥當(dāng)中是沒有的。
 
A:But antibiotics can be harmful if they are taken too often. All in all, Chinese medicine sounds healthier. Maybe I should go see a Chinese doctor if I get sick. Thanks.
 
但是經(jīng)常服用抗生素對人體有害。總之，中藥似乎更有益于身體健康。如果我生病的話或許我應(yīng)當(dāng)去看中醫(yī)。謝謝！
