3、zationally?overloaded,?and?generally?not?oriented?to?the?patient?as?a?person.他们之所以问这些问题，是因为他们所面对的医疗保健体系技术深奥、机构臃肿，而且一般都没有意识到病人首先是一个“人”。When?an?individual?first?becomes?ill,?regardless?of?the?symptoms,?he?or?she?needs?mostsomeone?who?seems?to?say,如果有人生了病，不管症状如何，他们最希望听到的是：I?am?a?good?doctor；I?charge?a?

10、点有着深刻的了解，又身具异秉能把关爱和尊重传递给全人类。He?exhibited?the?ideal?all?physicians?should?emulate.他展现了所有内科医生应该展现的最理想的一面。Many?readers?know?a?physician?with?these?characteristics?all?should?seek?to?know?one?and?todevelop?their?own?professional?persona?so?that?human?qualities?are?not?lost?to?technicalacumen.许多读者都认为拥有这些

11、特征的内科医生都应该去了解，并培养自己的职业形象，只有这样，人类的本质才不会在技术面前甘拜下风。1.be?oriented?to?面向,本句中的?them?是指上句的?these?questions.原文：They?ask?them?because?they?face?a?health?care?system?that?is?scientifically?complex,organizationally?overloaded,?and?generally?not?oriented?to?the?patient?as?a?person.?他们之所以问这些问题，是因为他们所面对的医疗保健体系技术深

17、?80?to90?per?cent?of?the?time.内科医生不能够只满足于掌握某领域治疗方法的80-90%。They?must?understand?the?basic?physiology?and?pharmacology?of?any?approach?they?use.他们必须对所应用的生理学和药物学的基本疗法了如指掌。They?must?possess?the?intellectual?tools?to?follow?reports?of?current?research?in?medicaljournals他们必须能够利用学术方法来掌握医学杂志的最新研究成果，so?that?

18、they?can?continue?to?grasp?the?newest?and?latest?approaches,?no?matter?howcomplicated?the?field?may?become.不管该领域变得多么复杂多变，他们都能够掌握最新的治疗方法。That?is?why,?in?a?textbook?of?medicine?like?this,?strong?emphasis?is?given?to?how?things?work,what?goes?amiss?when?pathologic?processes?ensue,这就是为什么像这样的医学教科书要着重强调事物

19、的运作方法，以及在病理过程中所出现的差错，and?what?effect?a?given?therapy?has?in?correcting?that?defect.以及特定治疗方法对纠正差错所带来的影响。We?seek?to?create?within?the?minds?of?our?readers?a?yearning?for?a?greater?depth?ofunderstanding?and?a?continuing?commitment?to?stay?at?the?frontier?of?scientific?knowledge.我们希望我们的读者能够从内心有着更加深入的了解，

20、并继续处在科学的最前沿。These?are,?in?fact,?among?the?hallmarks?of?a?professional?in?any?scientific?field.事实上，任意科学领域专业都包含了这些特点。We?are?moving?into?an?era?when?pharmacotherapeutic?agents?are?no?longer?merely?wonders?oforganic?chemistry,?but?increasingly?often?are?biologic?products.当今时代，药剂已经不仅仅是有机化学的奇迹，它也逐渐变成了生物制品

21、。Some?of?these?are?isolated?from?nature?others?are?developed?by?recombinant?DNAtechnology.许多产品已经脱离自然，有些是DNA技术重组的产物。On?the?horizon?is?the?availability?of?a?true?replacement?or?supplement?for?defective?ordeficient?biochemical?constituents?of?the?body.我们即将要面对的是真正能够替代或是能够补充生物化学成分中不足的产品。No?physician?can,

27、se?that?seems?to?continue?unabated.在美国，医疗开销以每年10%的价格增长，而这一趋势还将继续下去。Federal?legislation?instituting?diagnosis-related?groups?(DRCs)?has?clearly?moderated?the?riseof?hospital?costs,?but?physician?costs?continue?to?rise?at?an?ever-increasing?rate.联邦立法已经开设了诊断相关组，并已经降低了医院开销，但是内科医生的开销仍然在不断增加。Every?student

28、?of?medicine?should?ask?if?this?is?realistic.每一名医学学生都在问这是不是真的。Is?it?sustainable?Is?it?defensible?是可持续性的？还是有可解决的办法？What?will?be?the?limits?范围到底在哪？Patients?already?ask,“Can?I?really?afford?the?best?doctors?in?the?most?prestigious?practices,?inthe?most?famous?medical?centers?”病患在问，“我能去最好的医疗中心，最好的科室，找最好

29、的医生看病吗？”“Can?I?afford?to?be?referred?to?a?subspecialist?”我有钱去看那些专业医师吗？“Can?I?afford?to?be?out?of?work?and?in?the?hospital?”我能支付得起不上班在医院看病的开销吗？“Can?I?afford?to?pay?my?rising?insurance?premiums?”“我有钱支付不断增长的保险吗？”“How?much?deductible?on?my?insurance?can?I?afford?”“保险中的扣除条款我能支付得起多少？”Worse?yet,?an?increas

30、ing?number?of?patients?have?to?make?choices?between?seeking?medical?anddental?care?and?getting?food,?clothing,?shelter,?and?other?essentials?of?daily?living.更糟糕的是，有许许多多的病患不得不在看病，看牙和基本日常生活之间做出选择。These?issues?have?become?major?concerns?in?American?households?and?clearly?represent?one?ofthe?most?distur

31、bing?weaknesses?in?our?economy,这些问题已经成为美国家庭关心的主要问题,并且是美国经济中最令人担心的薄弱环节，of?which?now?nearly?12?per?cent?(?by?annual?gross?national?product)?is?devoted?to?health?care,up?from?8?per?cent?in?1975.医疗费用所占每年国民生产总值的比例已由1975年的8%增加到现在的12%。Over?the?last?two?to?three?decades?it?has?been?a?goal?of?the?United?Stat

32、es?to?promote?everincreasing?quality?and?cost-effectiveness?of?health?care?for?all.在过去的二三十年中，美国的目标就是要为全体民众提供质量高，成本高效益的医疗制度。Unfortunately,?we?have?failed?miserably.不幸的是，我们遭遇了惨败。The?USA?spends?more?per?capita?on?health?care?than?any?other?nation?in?the?world.美国是全球个人医疗开销最大的国家。Yet?in?the?major?indices?o

34、病的人数还在不断增加。Somehow,?the?costs?of?what?we?are?trying?to?achieveeven?though?the?goal?is?commendable?are?not?being?placed?in?proper?perspective?by?the?medical?profession,?health-care?managers,and?representatives?of?the?people?in?order?to?provide?suitable?care?for?all.尽管我们要实现的目标值得赞扬，但是我们要实现的看病价格并没有得到医疗人

35、士、医疗卫生监管人士、以及代表的认真对待。Unfortunately，in?the?present?system?the?real?needs?of?the?populace?are?not?always?met?byaffordable?services.不幸的是，就目前的制度而言，大众所能够支付得起的医疗费用无法满足人们的要求。At?the?same?time,?overutilization?of?medical?services?may?be?the?very?engine?that?drives?up?thetotal?cost?of?health?care?delivery.与此同

36、时，医疗服务的过度使用或许也是增加医疗费用的引擎。With?the?passage?of?the?Medicare?program?for?the?elderly?and?the?Medicaid?plan?for?the?poor?byCongress?in?1965,1965年，美国国会通过了补助老人的退休医疗福利，以及补助穷人的穷人医疗补助，we?had?hoped?as?a?nation?that?we?were?moving?toward?a?more?just?and?efficient?system.我们希望美国的医疗系统能够变得更加公正，更加有效。In?fact,?the?op

37、posite?has?been?the?trend.但是事实上，我们却背道而驰。This?societal?goal?must?now?be?readdressed?reformulated,?and?restructed?in?terms?of?modernneeds,就社会需求来讲，我们应该通过重组来实现社会目标，reflecting?fairly?and?fully?measured?cost-benefit?ratios?for?every?form?of?medical?service.全面反映医疗服务的成本与效益比例。1.per?capita?每人，按人口（计算）例句：The?Un

38、ited?States?spends?more?per?capita?on?health?care?than?any?other?nation?in?theworld.美国是全球个人医疗开销最大的国家。2.Medicaid?plan?医疗补助制度例句：With?the?passage?of?the?Medicare?program?for?the?elderly?and?the?Medicaid?plan?for?thepoor?by?Congress?in?1965,?1965年，美国国会通过了补助老人的退休医疗福利，以及补助穷人的穷人医疗补助，3.dental?care?牙齿护理例句：Yo

39、ur?smile?depends?on?simple?dental?care?habits,?such?as?brushing?and?flossing.自信的笑容取决于简单的牙齿护理习惯，如刷牙和使用牙线。4.cost-efficient?有成本效益的例句：It?also?helps?the?architect?manage?resources?in?a?very?cost-efficient?manner.?它还有助于架构师采用一种非常具有成本效益的方式来管理各种资源。第4期:Medical?professionals?often?attribute?overutilization?to?

40、patient?behavior.医疗专业人士经常将过度使用归罪于病患的行为。In?fact,?however,?physicians?control?70?per?cent?of?health?expenditures.但是，事实上，医护人员却掌控者70%的医疗支出。A?few?patients?with?hypochondriasis,?for?example,?may?visit?physicians?too?often,例如，少数患有疑病症的病患会经常就医。and?many?older?patients?may?seek?medical?help?at?times?when?a?fri

41、endly,?reassuring?chat?istheir?real?desire,许多老年患者有时也会寻求医疗帮助，他们希望能够得到友好，舒心的交谈，but?in?the?final?analysis?utilization?of?the?health?care?system?is?in?the?hands?of?physicians.归根结底，医护系统的利用问题掌控在医护人员手中。Ironically,?although?physician?competence?is?often?equated?to?mastery?of?expensivetechniques?and?technolo

42、gies,具有讽刺意味的是，虽然医术常常等同于掌握价格高昂的仪器设备和科技手段，physicians?are?actually?at?their?professional?best?when?listening?to?the?patient?and?respondingto?what?they?hear?and?see?with?medicine?most?comprehensive?armamentarium.但医生达到炉火纯青境地，往往是在能够倾听患者心声并应用最先进的医疗设备对他们听到、看到的患者状况采取相应措施的时候。Overutilization,?when?it?occurs,?i

43、s?thus?most?likely?to?be?our?fault?as?physicians.当出现过度使用问题时，医护人员是最有可能出错的。Our?responsibility?as?professionals?is?to?be?absolutely?certain?that?our?errors?in?this?directionare?driven?by?well-founded?concern?for?the?health?of?our?patients,作为专业人士，我们的责任就是要坚决确保这些错误是建立在对病患健康的关心之上，not?by?the?financial?inter

44、ests?of?our?practices?or?the?hospitals?where?we?work.而不是建立在经济效益或是医院之上。Individual?physicians,?then,?must?take?a?personal?and?professional?interest?in?the?control?ofhealth?care?costs?not?only?because?it?is?right?for?the?nation,?but?because?it?is?right?for?thepatient.对于个体医护人员来说，他们必须从专业角度和个人角度来对医疗费用产生兴趣

45、，这不仅对国家有益，还将有益于病患。In?our?litigious?society,?a?legalistically?defensive?approach?to?medical?practice?has?become?tooprevalent.在我们这个喜欢诉讼的社会里，有关医疗的法律保护方法就变得非常普遍了。The?conditions?that?engender?this?tendency?must?be?altered.我们必须对这一趋势进行纠正。Physicians?must?use?all?of?their?diagnostic?skills?to?focus?on?the?ve

46、ry?best?approach?to?medicaldiagnosis?and?therapy医护人员必须使用其所有的诊断技能来关注医疗诊断和理疗方法，and?to?steer?away?from?unnecessary?use?or?repetition?of?expensive?procedures?such?ascomputed?tomography,?magnetic?resonance?imaging,?and?cardiac?catheterization.并避免不必要的使用，或是重复价格昂贵的诊治，例如计算机体层摄影、核磁共振成像或是心导管插入术。The?physician?m

47、ust?use?intellect?scientific?knowledge?and?analytical?skillsto?best?serve?thepatient?without?inundating?the?system?with?unnecessary?costs医生必须运用智慧（包括科学知识和分析能力）来为病人提供最佳服务，既不要给医疗保健体系增加不必要的费用，and?the?patient?with?a?financial?burden?he?simply?cannot?to?bear.也不要给病人造成不必要的、无法继续承受的经济负担。1.take（an）interestin对发

48、生兴趣例句：We?takeinterestin?yourcannedgoodsandwishtohavethecatalogues.我们对你方的罐头食品有兴趣，希望能收到目录。2.onthefinalanalysis归根结底例句：Nowadays,thecompetitionoftechnologyandstrengthisthecompetitionofhumansandhumancapital?onthefinalanalysis.当今世界科技和实力的竞争，归根到底是人的竞争，是人力资本的竞争。3.steerawayfrom避开例句：Wewantedtomakeacleanbreakfromactressesand?steerawayfrom?blondesandcleansethepalette.我们不想再用女演员代言，也不想要金发女郎，我们重新做出选择。4.financialburden财政负担例句：Bearingthe?finan
