P:Oh, what's Yin and Yang?
醫(yī)生:它們是中國古代哲學的兩個概念并代表一切事物的兩個對立面。中醫(yī)學運用陰陽理論來解釋人體的生理和病理現(xiàn)象。同時, 陰陽也是診斷和治療疾病的法則。
D:They are the two concepts from ancient Chinese philosophy and they represent the two contradictories in everything. In TCM theory, Yin and Yang are used to explain physiological and pathological phenomena of the body. They are also the principles of diagnosing and treating diseases.
病人:那么你們中國醫(yī)生是怎樣用這一理論來給病人治病的呢?
P:Then how do you Chinese doctors treat your patients by using this theory?
醫(yī)生:大體說來,中醫(yī)有兩種治療方式:藥物治療和非藥物治療。
D:Roughly speaking, there are two common ways of TCM curing diseases: drug therapy and non-drug therapy.
病人:真有趣。你們通常都用什么藥?
P:That's very interesting. What drugs do you often apply?
