聽力每日練習 listen 667 Chinese Medicine

 
2--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.
 
1--What other differences are there between Chinese and western medicine?
 
2--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.
 
1--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?
 
2--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. 　
 
1--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.

1--我知道中醫(yī)更多地注重天然藥物而西醫(yī)則更多注重化學藥品。比起西藥，中國人是不是更多習慣吃中藥？
2--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。
1--那么中藥都有哪些優(yōu)勢呢？
2--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理。而西醫(yī)的治療方法是把人體當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節(jié)。
1--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？
2--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)中藥當中是沒有的。
1--但是經常服用抗生素對人體有害?？傊?，中藥似乎更有益于身體健康。如果我生病的話或許我應當去看中醫(yī)。謝謝！
