(1). What are patients looking for when they visit the doctor?

当病人去看医生时，他想要的是什么？

(2). This is a skeptical age, but although our faith in many of the things in which our forefathers fervently believed has weakened, our confidence in the curative properties of the bottle of medicine remains the same as theirs.

这是一个怀疑重重的时代,但是尽管我们对祖先所笃信的许多事物的信仰已经减退,然而我们对瓶内药物疗效的信心仍与祖辈一样坚定。

(3). This modern faith in medicines is proved by the fact that the annual drug bill of the Health Services is mounting to astronomical figures and shows no signs at present of ceasing to rise

卫生部门每年医药费用支出达天文数字且目前还没有停止上升迹象的这个事实,证明现代人对药品是深信不疑的。

(4). There is no quicker method of disposing of patients than by giving them what they are asking for.

处理病人最快的方法是病人要什么药就给什么药

(5). Carlyle was entirely ignorant of what the bottle in his pocket contained, of the nature of the illness from which his friend was suffering, and of what had previously been wrong with his wife

Carlyle全然不知道他袋里装的是什么药,也不清楚他朋友患的是什么病,他妻子以前有什么不舒服。

(6). But a medicine that had worked so well in one form of illness would surely be of equal benefit in another, and comforted by the thought of the help he was bringing to his friend, he hastened to Henry Taylor’s house.

但是他认为一种药对一种疾病有用对另一种疾病必然同样管用,他想到能为朋友带去帮助而宽慰,于是便急冲冲地向HenryTaylor家走去。

(7). The majority of the patients attending the medical out-patients departments of our hospitals feel that they have not received adequate treatment unless they are able to carry home with them some tangible remedy in the shape of a bottle of medicine, a box of pills, or a small jar of ointment, and the doctor in charge of the department is only too ready to provide them with these requirements.

来医院门诊部求治的极大部分病人认为，如果他们不随身带回一实实在在的药物比如一瓶药水、一盒丸药或一小罐油膏，他们就觉得没有得到应有的治疗，而主管门诊部的医生也很乐意满足病人的这种要求。

(8). Since most medical men in the Health Services are overworked and have little time for offering time-consuming and little-appreciated advice on such subjects as diet, right living, and the need for abandoning bad habits, etc., the bottle, the box, and the jar are almost always granted them.

因为卫生部门的大多数医务人员都工作过分劳累，几乎抽不出时间向病人提出即费时间又不太受欢迎的关于饮食限制、生活规律、克服不良习惯等的忠告，所以病人得到的差不多总是一些瓶瓶罐罐而已。

(9). Nor is it only the ignorant and ill-educated person who has such faith in the bottle of medicine, especially if it be wrapped in white paper and sealed with a dab of red sealing-wax by a clever chemist.

不只是那引起缺乏知识和没有受过良好教育的人们对药物如此信赖,他们对聪明的药剂师用白纸包装起来,并在袋口封上一块红色封口蜡的药物尤为深信不疑。

(10). It is recounted of Thomas Carlyle that when he heard of the illness of his friend, Henry Taylor, he went off immediately to visit him, carrying with him in his pocket what remained of a bottle of medicine formerly prescribed for an indisposition of Mrs. Carlyle’s.

据说，ThomasCarlyle，有过这样的事情:当他听到朋友HenryTaylor患病时，马上跑去探望他，衣袋里带着一瓶他的夫人的药，这瓶药是她日前患小恙时配来吃剩的。

(11). History does not relate whether his friend accepted his medical help, but in all probability he did.

这个故事并未说明他的朋友是否接受了他的药物帮助,但很可能是接受了。

(12). The great advantage of taking medicine is that it makes no demands on the taker beyond that of putting up for a moment with a disgusting taste, and that is what all patients demand of their doctors--to be cured at no inconvenience to themselves.

服药的最大优点是,仅要求服药者暂时忍受一下令人讨厌的苦味,这也正是所有病人对医生提出的要求,也就是在不给病人带来任何不便的情况下治愈疾病。
