1. 1自然療法師。不是中醫師,也不是醫院裡的西醫。

    A naturopath is a person who tries to treat illness with things they call natural — plants, food, rest, water, and changes in the way you live — rather than with the usual drugs and operations of a hospital doctor. In some countries they have a licence and a title; in others almost anyone may use the name, so the word does not by itself tell you how much training the person has.

    A naturopath naturopath是 a person一個人 who tries to treat illness試著治療疾病 with things they call natural用他們稱作natural(天然)的東西 — plants, food, rest, water, and changes in the way you live植物、食物、休息、水,還有生活方式的改變 — rather than而不是用 with the usual drugs and operations of a hospital doctor醫院醫生常用的藥物和手術。 In some countries在某些國家 they have a licence and a title他們有執照和頭銜;in others在其他國家 almost anyone may use the name幾乎任何人都可以用這個名稱,so the word does not by itself tell you how much training the person has所以光這個詞本身無法告訴你這個人受過多少訓練。

    Most hospital doctors often disagree with this kind of care and say there is not enough strong proof for many of the treatments.

    Most hospital doctors大多數醫院的醫生 often disagree with this kind of care常常不認同這種照護方式 and say並表示 there is not enough strong proof for many of the treatments很多療法都缺乏足夠有力的證據。

    You will meet the word in health magazines, on clinic signs, and in arguments about medicine. It is a specialist word, not playground English.

    You will meet the word你會在 in health magazines, on clinic signs, and in arguments about medicine健康雜誌、診所招牌,還有醫學爭論裡遇到這個詞。 It is它是 a specialist word一個專業用詞,not playground English不是操場上的英語。

    Though actually, natural here is a claim, not a magic stamp: some plant medicines are strong, and some natural products are not safer just because they grew in the ground.

    Though actually不過其實 natural natural(天然)這個字 here在這裡是 a claim一種宣稱,not a magic stamp而不是一個神奇的保證章:some plant medicines有些植物藥 are strong藥性很強,and some natural products有些天然產品 are not safer just because they grew in the ground不會因為是從地裡長出來的就比較安全。
