Chinese and Western medicine
　　中藥和西藥

　　David：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？

　　You ：很難說。因?yàn)橹兴幒臀魉幐饔懈鞯奶攸c(diǎn)和效力，例如，對某些特定的慢性病來說，中藥要比西藥好。

　　David ： What other differences are there between Chinese and western medicine? 那么中藥都有哪些優(yōu)勢呢？

　　You ：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(rèn)為，人身體里的各個(gè)部位都是相互影響的，所以中醫(yī)更注重對整個(gè)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(jī)器來之治療，因此更注意對人體部分的調(diào)節(jié)。

　　David ： 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(shí)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？

　　You ：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(gè)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。

　　David ： 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！

　　中醫(yī)認(rèn)為，人身體里的各個(gè)部位都是相互影響的，所以中醫(yī)更注重對整個(gè)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(jī)器來之治療，因此更注意對人體部分的調(diào)節(jié)。
