實用英語對話:臨床試驗

洋洋：心濤，你看上去怎么那么沒精神吶。

心濤：我沒事。我參加了一個臨床試驗，藥物的副作用真讓人難受。

洋洋：啊？你是說你去給人當小白鼠，讓他們在你身上試驗新藥？

心濤：差不多，但沒你想得那么可怕。他們說試點研究的前幾個星期有可能會出現(xiàn)不適反應?，F(xiàn)在我才明白，為什么只有一小部分志愿者參加。只有通過試驗，制藥公司才能判斷藥物的實際療效如何，之后再大規(guī)模進行生產。

洋洋：你怎么不擔心這種新藥對身體產生傷害呢？

心濤：他們這個藥已經在人體上試驗很多次了，據說這是最后一次試驗，即使有傷害，我覺得也不嚴重。而且，是藥三分毒嘛。

洋洋：話雖如此，我還是覺得這樣去當小白鼠挺危險的。你看你，現(xiàn)在看起來多沒精神啊！

 

 

Yangyang: Xintao, why do you look so down?

Xintao: Never mind. I participated in a clinical test and the side effect of the medicine makes me uncomfortable.

 

Yangyang: Ah? You mean you make yourself a laboratory rat and let them test the new medicine on you?

 

Xintao: Pretty much. It’s not that scary. They said I probably would feel uncomfortable in the several weeks of the research. Now I realize why only minority of people would participate in it. Only through test, pharmaceutical companies could judge the effectiveness of the medicine and make mass production.

 

Yangyang: How come you don’t worry about the harm of the new medicine to your body?

 

Xintao: This new medicine is tested on human body several times. It’s said this is the last test. I don’t think it would be severe even if there is harm. What’s more, there is a famous saying goes like this: as a medicine, it is more or less toxic.

 

Yangyang: However, I still think it’s dangerous to be a laboratory rat. Look at you, you are haggard.
