「紫皮書」英語六級漢譯英小短文：李時珍

李時珍是中國著名的醫(yī)學家，和萊昂納多?達芬奇在西方的地位差不多。他出版了一部長篇自然醫(yī)學百科全書--《本草綱目》。這部文稿非常詳細系統(tǒng)，是對孤本和醫(yī)學文稿進行了幾十年研究后的產(chǎn)物。他增加了自己對于醫(yī)學實踐和家庭醫(yī)學知識的理解。他為了研究到處游歷。他想調查那個時期能了解到的所有知識，寫出來一本最準確的自然醫(yī)學著作。他覺得現(xiàn)有的醫(yī)學文稿一般都不太準確，甚至有危險的誤導信息。

Li Shizhen was a famous medical scholar who has sort of the same stature as Leonardo da Vinci in the West. He published a very long encyclopedia of natural medicine called the Bencao Gangmu. The text was highly detailed and organized, and it was the product of decades of study of rare books and medical texts. He added his own understanding derived from his own medical practice and his family's medical lore. He went on journeys for research. He wanted to survey all the available knowledge of his time and write the most accurate natural medical text ever written. He thought that the medical texts that were generally available were inaccurate and even had dangerous misinformation.
