Period One Topic Talk & Lesson 1—Comprehending
[教材原文]
A Medical Pioneer
At the Nobel Prize Lecture on 7 December,2015, an 84-year-old Chinese woman walked slowly on to the stage<1>.She began to talk about the life-saving drug, artemisinin, which she had discovered with the help of her team in the 1970s.The woman was Tu Youyou,①the first Chinese female scientist to be awarded<2> a Nobel Prize for her work.A scientist who was on the Nobel Prize Committee<3> called Hans Forssberg explained that “the discovery of artemisinin has led to<4> the development of new drugs which have saved the lives of millions”.When thanking the Committee for the honour<5>, Tu Youyou said, “This is not only an honour for myself, but also recognition<6> and encouragement for all scientists in China.”
Tu Youyou was born in Zhejiang Province, China, on 30 December,1930.She studied medicine at Peking University Health Science Centre.After graduation, she became a member of China Academy<7> of Chinese Medical Sciences.Later, she studied Chinese medicine for two and a half years with experts in the field from whom she gained<8> a deep knowledge about traditional practices<9>.
In 1969, Tu Youyou was chosen to establish<10> a team to find a cure for malaria—a disease that killed millions of people every year.Across the world, scientists had been trying to find a cure.They tested more than 240,000 chemicals<11> with no success.However,②Tu Youyou had an idea that Chinese herbs<12> might hold the secret.She studied ancient Chinese medical literature<13> and visited experts in traditional Chinese medicine.She researched hundreds of traditional recipes<14> connected to anti-malarial cures.Then Tu Youyou and her team began using modern research methods to study these Chinese herbs one by one.

医学先锋
在2015年12月7日的诺贝尔奖颁奖典礼上,一位84岁高龄的中国女士慢慢地走上领奖台。她开始谈论挽救生命的青蒿素,这是她在团队的帮助下于20世纪70年代发现的一种药。这位女士就是屠呦呦,① 是中国第一位获得诺贝尔奖的女科学家 。诺贝尔奖委员会的一位名叫汉斯·福斯伯格的科学家解释说:“青蒿素的发现使得新药得以开发,这些药物拯救了数百万人的生命。”屠呦呦感谢诺贝尔奖委员会授予她如此殊荣,她说:“这不仅是授予我个人的荣誉,也是对全体中国科学家的认可和鼓励。”
1930年12月30日,屠呦呦出生于中国浙江省。她曾在北京大学健康科学中心学习医学。毕业后,她成为中医研究院的一员。后来,她跟随该领域的专家学习了两年半的中医学,从他们身上获得了有关传统医学工作的渊博知识。
1969年,屠呦呦被选中组建一个团队来寻找疟疾的治疗方法,疟疾每年导致数百万人死亡。世界各地的科学家都在试图找到治疗方法。他们测试了超过24万种化学物质,都没有成功。然而,② 屠呦呦认为中草药可能是秘诀所在 。她研究了古代中医的医学文献,拜访了传统中医界的专家。她研究了数百种与抗疟疾治疗有关的传统配方。随后,屠呦呦和她的团队开始采用现代的研究方法对这些中草药逐一进行研究。
This was not an easy task.The reason why this was difficult was that the team had limited<15> resources<16>.They did not have enough staff<17>, and the laboratory in which they worked had poor air quality.However, after hundreds of failed experiments, they eventually<18> came across<19> a promising<20> chemical.It worked well in experiments on animals, but they had to know if it was safe for humans.Tu Youyou bravely volunteered to be the first human subject<21> when they were ready to start testing and the rest of her team followed her.The test was a success.The medicine they discovered, artemisinin, has now become the world's most effective drug for fighting malaria.
③Even though Tu Youyou is not interested in fame<22>, she has become a scientist whose work is internationally renowned<23>.In 2019, she was selected by the BBC as one of the most influential figures of science in the 20th Century along with Albert Einstein and Alan Mathison Turing.Tu Youyou was noted for her bravery in being a scientist during a difficult time for science in China, her ability to use old wisdom and new methods to achieve her goals and the fact that her work bridged<24> the Eastern and Western worlds, saving millions of lives.Today Tu Youyou continues to conduct research despite<25> her age.According to Tu Youyou, “From our research experience in discovering artemisinin, we learnt the wisdom<26> behind both Chinese and Western medicine.There is great potential<27> for future advances<28> if these two kinds of wisdom can be fully integrated<29>, ” she said.

<19>come across偶遇
<20>promising/ˈprɒmIsIŋ/adj.有希望的;有前途的
<21>subject n.[熟词生义]接受试验者,实验对象
<22>fame/feIm/n.名声,名誉

<29>integrate/ˈIntIɡreIt/vi.&vt.(使)结合;(使)成为一体
这不是一项容易的任务。困难的原因是团队资源有限。他们没有足够的工作人员,工作的实验室空气质量很差。然而,经过数百次失败的实验,他们最终发现了一种有望成功的化学物质。这种物质在动物实验中效果很好,但他们必须知道它对人类是否安全。当他们准备开始测试时,屠呦呦勇敢地志愿成为第一个人类实验对象,团队中的其他人也紧随其后。这次测试很成功。她们发现的药物青蒿素现在已经成为世界上抗击疟疾最有效的药物。
③ 尽管屠呦呦对名声不感兴趣,但她已成为一名国际知名的科学家。 2019年她被英国广播公司选为20世纪最具影响力的科学人物之一,与阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦、艾伦·麦席森·图灵齐名。屠呦呦在中国科学的困难时期勇于做一名科研人员,用古老的智慧和新的方法实现目标,她的事业贯通了东西方世界,拯救了数百万人的生命,因此她闻名世界。如今,虽然年事已高,屠呦呦仍然继续做研究。她说:“从发现青蒿素的研究经验中,我们学到了中医和西医背后的智慧。如果这两种智慧能够完全融合,未来将有巨大的发展潜力。”
