3、e doctor first looked at Jack for a while before feeling his pulse and checking his tongue. The doctor then asked if the cough had been on and off for a long time. In great surprise, Jack nodded his head. The doctor then wrote a prescription with instructions on how to take the medicine.After boilin

4、g the herb medicine at home, I brought it to him in his dormitory. The first taste almost made him throw up. It was really too hard even for me. I comforted him with an old saying “Good medicine to the health tastes bitter to the mouth”. Jack managed to swallow the medicine with a frown. But after a

5、 week, when he recovered, he felt amazed at the effect of the Chinese medicine. At a class meeting about the deepest impressions about China, Jack chose “TCM in My Eyes” as the topic. He shared his experience of TCM, from doubt at first to belief in the end.We all felt inspired and proud hearing a f

6、oreigner introducing the profound TCM.

7、en people get sick, they can go to the hospital and get the treatment, and then they will recover soon. Today western medicine is peoples first choice, the Chinese medicine is being ignored by more and more people. Compared to western medicine, Chinese medicine has its own advantages. First, Chinese

8、 medicine wont have or have less side effect. Western can work on peoples body soon, but it is true that the side effect is very obvious, such as headache, dizzy and get sick of the food. Chinese medicine takes some time to work, but without side effect. People can recover completely. Second, Chines

9、e medicine pays special attention to the food treatment. It is believed that taking pills will hurt the body, but the food treatment is different, people can adjust their diet to get healthy. Chinese medicine will not out of date.随着科技的发展，人们医疗得到了很大的提升，当人们生病了，他们可以去医院治疗，然后快速康复。今天西药是人们的第一选择，中药被越来越多的人忽略。

10、和西药相比，中药有它自身的优势。第一，中药不会有或者只有少数的副作用。西药作用快速，但是事实上，副作用很明显，比如头痛，头晕和厌食。中药需要一段时间才能发生作用，但是没有伴随有副作用。人们可以彻底康复。第二，中药特别注重食物治疗。人们相信吃药会损害身体，但是食疗不同，人们可以通过调整饮食来保持健康。中药不会被淘汰。三、Traditional Chinese MedicineTraditionalChinese Medicine is an indispensable part of Chinese culture. It has made great contributions to the

11、prosperity of China. Nowadays, both Traditional Chinese Medicine and western medicine are being used to cure people all around the world. The TCM, with its unique diagnostic methods, long history and remarkable effects, have been used to treat cancer and other serious diseases. Unlike the western me

12、dicine, the TCM has fewer side effects.中医是中华文化不可分割的一部分，为中华的繁荣昌盛做出了极大的贡献。如今，中医和西医都被世界各地的医生用来治疗疾病。中医，以其独特的诊断手法、悠久的历史和显著的疗效被用来医治各种癌症和重大疾病。中药不像西药那样会产生许多副作用。According to the survey data, TCM is used by 75% of the areas in China and has been very effective in the treatment of diseases such as diabetes, li

13、ver cancer, tumors, and bone fracture and so on. Great successes have been made in many areas through TCM cure. As to acute abdomen, there is no need to have an operation; all you need to do is drink a cup of Chinese herbs, while the western way takes more time and money. You may even take the risk

14、of being infected after operation.通过调查数据，中医在中国75%的地区广泛使用，中医对于糖尿病、肝癌、肿瘤、骨折等等的疾病有着显著疗效。在中医疗法上，我们取得了很大的成就。对于剧烈的腹痛，并不需要开刀，你只需要喝下一杯草药就能够痊愈，而西方疗法则需花费的时间和金钱,你甚至要冒着术后感染病毒的风险。Comparing with the western medicine high fees, TMC has a more reasonable price that ordinary people can afford. I think in the future,

15、 TMC will be the mainstream in the health services in China. And our country should invest more money on the development on TMC; make sure is not going to fade away.与西医高昂的费用相比，中医合理的价钱更能让普通人接受。我认为在不远的将来，传统中医会成为中国医疗服务的主流，我们的国家应增加对中医发展的投资，确保它不会被历史所淘汰。Li Shizhens (1597) Bencao gangmu , the classic mater

The amount patient will take is about 200 - 300 ml. for children and 400 - 600 ml. for adults.（1. 因为中药不仅包含植物药(botanical products)，也包含动物药(zoological products)和矿物药(mineral

24、products)，所以将其翻译为Chinese herbs并不准确，但是在不是很规范正式的情况下还是可以用的。目前国际标准英译为Chinese medicinals。2. 国外中医主流是针灸，中药因为成分复杂、配方难度大以及味道不好而用的比较少。3. 在欧洲，不能使用动物药。4. holistic way 整体方式5. 视频中提到without any side effects不太准确，因为只有配伍精当才能最大程度减少副作用。6. 把中药制成药片或药丸可以让其不那么难吃。The herbs have less taste when they are in tablets or capsules.
