Hippocrates: The Oath of Medicine
希波克拉底誓言：医学誓言
I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Akso, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement:
医药神阿波罗，阿斯克勒庇俄斯（希腊神话中的医神），阿克索（希腊神话中的健康女神）及帕那刻亚（希腊神话中代表完全治疗的女神）诸神为证，鄙人在此宣誓，愿以自身能力、判断力所及，遵守此约：
To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me his art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art.
凡授吾医术者，当敬之如父母，视之为同道中人。若彼有急需，吾当接济之。视彼子嗣，犹我兄弟，如其欲受业，吾当传授之。
I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.
吾愿尽余之医术与判断力所及，遵守为病人谋益处之信条，不害众生。
I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
吾不会将危害药品给与他人，虽有人请，亦必不与之。亦不为妇人施堕胎手术。
But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.
吾愿以此纯洁之精神终身履行义务。
I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.
凡有患结石者，吾不轻易施以手术，有待于专家为之。
In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.
无论行至何处，遇男或女，市民或奴隶，吾唯一之目的，即为病人谋幸福，并检点吾身，不做害人或诱奸等卑鄙恶劣之事。
All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
凡吾所见所闻，无论有无业务关系，吾以为应保密者，愿守秘密。
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.
若吾严守上述誓言，请求神祇使吾生命与医术得无上之光荣。苟违誓，天地诸神共伐之。
