In the year 2015,the whole world was rejoicing for a Chinese woman named Tu Youyou because using traditional Chinese medicine,she sent a gift to the world.

2015年，整个世界都为之鼓舞，一名中国籍女性，屠呦呦，利用传统中医药知识，为全世界人民做出了贡献。

At the Nobel Prize Awards Ceremony where she received the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.

在诺贝尔奖的颁奖现场，她获得了诺贝尔医学奖。

Tu Youyou addressed the world:traditional Chinese medicine is a vast treasure house,we really ought to fully explore and improve.

屠呦呦发表了讲话：中国医药学是一个伟大宝库，应当努力发掘，加以提高。

Artemisinin,an anti-malaria naturally occurring chemical,was discovered through information from this treasure house.

青蒿素，这种天然的抗疟疾药物，正是从这一宝库中发掘出来的。

From her research experience with artemisinin,she fully realized both traditional Chinese medicine and modern Western medicine have their own unique strong points,and when the two are combined in a way that complements the other,a whole new range of potential and a promising future is opened.

通过抗疟药青蒿素的研究经历，她深感中西医药各有所长，两者若能有机结合、优势互补，将会展现巨大的开发潜力和发展前景。

Traditional Chinese medicine,TCM,has a history stretching back some 3000 years.

传统中医的历史长达3000多年。

TCM follows the ancient principles of yin and yang,believing that people's existence,growth,behavior and death are inseparable from nature.

中医遵循着阴与阳的哲学。他们认为人的生老病死都与自然密不可分。

Adhering to these principles,TCM has never stopped exploring and evolving its theories and systems.

遵循这些理念，传统中医从未停止探索和完善它的理论体系。

Over the gradual progression of these thousands of years,traditional Chinese medicine never forgot its principles of adhering to the laws of the nature,revering life,balancing yin and yang,and bringing unification.

在这几千年的发展演变过程中，中医从未改变初衷。它遵循大自然的规律，敬畏生命，平衡阴阳，寻求和谐。

From this background,traditional Chinese medicine evolved to develop many forms of treatment such as herbal medicine,acupuncture and moxibustion,Tuina,massage,cupping,qigong and food therapy,all with the aim of bringing the body back into or maintaining good health.

有鉴于此，传统中医逐渐发展了许多治疗手法，如草药煎服、针法、灸法、推拿、按摩、拔罐、气功以及食疗等等。它们让病人恢复健康，益寿延年。
