【医学口语会话】关于中医的疗效（2）

　　P：Oh, what's Yin and Yang?

　　医生：它们是中国古代哲学的两个概念并代表一切事物的两个对立面。中医学运用阴阳理论来解释人体的生理和病理现象。同时, 阴阳也是诊断和治疗疾病的法则。

　　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：那么你们中国医生是怎样用这一理论来给病人治病的呢?

　　P：Then how do you Chinese doctors treat your patients by using this theory?

　　医生：大体说来，中医有两种治疗方式：药物治疗和非药物治疗。

　　D：Roughly speaking, there are two common ways of TCM curing diseases: drug therapy and non-drug therapy.

　　病人：真有趣。你们通常都用什么药?

　　P：That's very interesting. What drugs do you often apply?
