She collected over 2,000 traditional Chinese medical recipes for malaria treatment and made hundreds of extracts from different herbs.
她收集了2,000多种治疗疟疾的中药配方,并从不同的草药中获取了数百种提取物。
When they failed to produce any promising results, Tu referred to the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine again.
当这些未能取得任何有希望的结果时,屠呦呦就再次查阅中医典籍。
Inspired by an over 1,600-year-old text about preparing qinghao extract with cold water,
Tu redesigned the experiments and tried extracting the herb at a low temperature in order not to damage its effective part.
受一本1,600多年前的典籍中关于用冷水制备青蒿提取物的记载的启发,屠呦呦重新设计了试验,并尝试在低温下提取这种草药,以不损害其有效成分。
On 4 October 1971, after 190 failures, she succeeded in making qinghao extract that could treat malaria in mice.
1971年10月4日,在历经190次失败之后,她成功制备出可以治疗老鼠疟疾的青蒿提取物。

However, it was hard to produce enough qinghao extract for large trials because research resources were limited.
然而,由于研究资源有限,很难制造出足够的青蒿提取物用于大规模试验。
Tu and her team managed to find solutions to the problem. When there was no research equipment, they had to extract herbs using household water containers.

The efforts of Tu and her team finally paid off. In November 1972, through trial and error, they successfully discovered qinghaosu—the most effective part of the qinghao extract.
屠哟哟团队的努力最终得到了回报。1972年11月,经过反复试验,他们成功地发现了青蒿素——青蒿提取物中最有效的成分。
As a key part of many malaria medicines, qinghaosu has since benefited about 200 million malaria patients.
作为许多抗疟药物中的关键成分,青蒿素迄今已经造福了近2亿疟疾患者。
More than 40 years after its discovery, Tu was eventually awarded a Nobel Prize for her work.
在发现青蒿素40多年后,屠呦呦终于因此获得了诺贝尔奖。
In her Nobel Lecture, she encouraged scientists to further explore the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine and raise it to a higher level.
