TU YOUYOU AWARDED NOBEL PRIZE
6 October 2015
This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology① or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou (co-winner②),whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin③[1],a crucial④ new treatment for malaria⑤[2].Artemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of⑥ lives,and has led to improved⑦ health for millions of people.Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year,and about 600,000 die from it.Artemisinin has become a vital⑧ part of the treatment for malaria,and is thought to save 100,000 lives a year[3] in Africa alone.
[1]whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin 是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Tu Youyou,whose在从句中作research的定语。
[2]a crucial new treatment for malaria 作同位语,解释说明artemisinin的具体内容。
[3]is thought to do sth.意为“被认为做某事”,是句型It is thought that...的同义句型。
Tu Youyou,a committed⑨ and patient scientist[4],was born in Ningbo,China,on 30 December 1930,and graduated from⑩ Peking University Medical School in 1955.After she graduated,she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing.In 1967,the Chinese government formed a team of scientists with the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria,and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers chosen[5].In the beginning,Tu Youyou went to Hainan,where malaria was more common[6],to study malaria patients.In 1969,she became the head of the project in Beijing,and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease[7].Her team examined over 2,000 old medical texts,and evaluated 280,000 plants for their medical properties .From their research,they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria[8].
[4]a committed and patient scientist 是Tu Youyou 的同位语。
[5]chosen是过去分词作后置定语,修饰the first researchers。
[6]where malaria was more common是where引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Hainan,where在从句中作地点状语。
[7]to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease是动词不定式短语作目的状语。
[8]that showed promise in the fight against malaria是定语从句,修饰先行词treatments。that也可换作which。
One medical text from the fourth century suggested using the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever.Tu's team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect.They then tried boiling fresh wormwood,and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria,but this did not work either.Their project got stuck .However,Tu Youyou would not acknowledge defeat .She analysed the medical texts again,and by chance ,she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood[9].She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical properties[10].Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract[11],she found a substance that worked[12].After failing more than 190 times,the team finally succeeded in 1971.Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted on testing the medicine on themselves to make sure that it was safe[13].Later,the medicine was tested on malaria patients,most of whom recovered[14].This medicine,which was called artemisinin[15],soon became a standard treatment for malaria.
[9]suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood是动词-ing形式短语作定语,修饰名词one sentence。
[10]that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical properties是that引导的宾语从句,其中boiling the sweet wormwood是动词-ing形式短语作从句的主语。
[11]Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract是动词-ing形式短语作方式状语,状语中动作use由句子逻辑主语she发出。
[12]that worked是定语从句,修饰先行词a substance。
[13]to make sure that it was safe是动词不定式短语作目的状语,其中that it was safe是宾语从句。
[14]most of whom recovered是“代词+of+引导词”引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词patients。
[15]which was called artemisinin是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词This medicine。
According to Tu Youyou,the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort .Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize[16],she said,“The honour is not just mine.There is a team behind me,and all the people of my country.This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine .It is indeed an honour for China's scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world[17].”
[16]that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize是宾语从句,其中had been awarded是过去完成时的被动语态形式。
[17]for China's scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world是动词不定式的复合结构,在该句中作真正的主语,It作形式主语。
屠呦呦荣获诺贝尔奖
2015年10月6日
今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖被授予屠呦呦(共同获奖者),她的研究发现了青蒿素,这是一种治疗疟疾的关键新药物。青蒿素挽救了数十万人的生命,改善了数百万人的健康。每年全世界有2亿多人感染疟疾,约60万人死于疟疾。青蒿素已经成为治疗疟疾的药物中极其重要的一部分,它被认为仅在非洲每年就能挽救10万人的生命。
屠呦呦,一位坚定而耐心的科学家,1930年12月30日出生于中国宁波,1955年毕业于北京大学医学院。毕业后,她在北京的中国中医研究院工作。1967年,中国政府组建了一支以探索治疗疟疾新方法为目的的科学家队伍,屠呦呦是其中首批入选的研究人员。一开始,屠呦呦去海南研究疟疾病人的情况,那里是疾病更为普遍的地方。1969年,她成为北京项目的负责人,并决定查阅中国古代医学文献,寻找传统的植物疗法来治疗这种疾病。她的团队查阅了2 000多本古老的医学文献,并评估了28万种植物的医疗特性。在研究中,他们发现并测试了380种不同的中国古代医疗方法,这些方法在抗击疟疾方面显示出了成功的可能性。
一本四世纪的医药文献推荐使用青蒿提取物来治疗发烧。屠呦呦的团队测试了一批干青蒿叶,但没有发现效果。然后,他们试着把新鲜的青蒿煮开,用从中提取的液体来治疗疟疾,但这也不管用。他们的研究陷入了困境。然而,屠呦呦并不承认失败。她再次分析医学文献,偶然发现了一句话,建议用另一种方法来处理青蒿。她的结论是,煮青蒿显然破坏了它的医疗特性。她用较低的温度提取这种精华,发现了一种有效的物质。在失败了190多次之后,这个团队终于在1971年成功了。屠呦呦和她的团队成员甚至坚持在他们自己身上测试药物,以确保它是安全的。后来,这种药用在疟疾病人身上,大部分病人都痊愈了。这种被称为青蒿素的药物很快成为治疗疟疾的标准药物。
据屠呦呦说,青蒿素的发现是团队共同努力的成果。当听到自己被授予诺贝尔奖时,她说:“这个荣誉不仅仅属于我。在我身后有一个团队,还有我的国家的全体人民。这一成功证明了中医的巨大价值。中国的科研和中医药走向世界,确实是一种荣誉。

TU YOUYOU AWARDED NOBEL PRIZE
6 October 2015
This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology① or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou (co-winner②),whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin③[1],a crucial④ new treatment for malaria⑤[2].Artemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of⑥ lives,and has led to improved⑦ health for millions of people.Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year,and about 600,000 die from it.Artemisinin has become a vital⑧ part of the treatment for malaria,and is thought to save 100,000 lives a year[3] in Africa alone.

In 1967,the Chinese government formed a team of scientists with the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria,and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers chosen[5].In the beginning,Tu Youyou went to Hainan,where malaria was more common[6],to study malaria patients.In 1969,she became the head of the project in
Beijing,and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease[7].Her team examined over 2,000 old medical texts,and evaluated 280,000 plants for their medical properties .From their research,they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria[8].

medical properties[10].Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract[11],she found a substance that worked[12].After failing more than 190 times,the team finally succeeded in 1971.Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted on testing the medicine on themselves to make sure that it was safe[13].Later,the medicine was tested on malaria patients,most of whom recovered[14].This medicine,which was called artemisinin[15],soon became a standard treatment for malaria.

[10]that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical properties是that引导的宾语从句,其中boiling the sweet wormwood是动词-ing形式短语作从句的主语。
[11]Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract是动词-ing形式短语作方式状语,状语中动作use由句子逻辑主语she发出。

[14]most of whom recovered是“代词+of+引导词”引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词patients。
[15]which was called artemisinin是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词This medicine。
According to Tu Youyou,the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort .Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize[16],she said,“The honour is not just mine.There is a team behind me,and all the people of my country.This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine .It is indeed an honour for China's scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world[17].”
[16]that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize是宾语从句,其中had been awarded是过去完成时的被动语态形式。
[17]for China's scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world是动词不定式的复合结构,在该句中作真正的主语,It作形式主语。
屠呦呦荣获诺贝尔奖
2015年10月6日
今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖被授予屠呦呦(共同获奖者),她的研究发现了青蒿素,这是一种治疗疟疾的关键新药物。青蒿素挽救了数十万人的生命,改善了数百万人的健康。每年全世界有2亿多人感染疟疾,约60万人死于疟疾。青蒿素已经成为治疗疟疾的药物中极其重要的一部分,它被认为仅在非洲每年就能挽救10万人的生命。
屠呦呦,一位坚定而耐心的科学家,1930年12月30日出生于中国宁波,1955年毕业于北京大学医学院。毕业后,她在北京的中国中医研究院工作。1967年,中国政府组建了一支以探索治疗疟疾新方法为目的的科学家队伍,屠呦呦是其中首批入选的研究人员。一开始,屠呦呦去海南研究疟疾病人的情况,那里是疾病更为普遍的地方。1969年,她成为北京项目的负责人,并决定查阅中国古代医学文献,寻找传统的植物疗法来治疗这种疾病。她的团队查阅了2 000多本古老的医学文献,并评估了28万种植物的医疗特性。在研究中,他们发现并测试了380种不同的中国古代医疗方法,这些方法在抗击疟疾方面显示出了成功的可能性。
一本四世纪的医药文献推荐使用青蒿提取物来治疗发烧。屠呦呦的团队测试了一批干青蒿叶,但没有发现效果。然后,他们试着把新鲜的青蒿煮开,用从中提取的液体来治疗疟疾,但这也不管用。他们的研究陷入了困境。然而,屠呦呦并不承认失败。她再次分析医学文献,偶然发现了一句话,建议用另一种方法来处理青蒿。她的结论是,煮青蒿显然破坏了它的医疗特性。她用较低的温度提取这种精华,发现了一种有效的物质。在失败了190多次之后,这个团队终于在1971年成功了。屠呦呦和她的团队成员甚至坚持在他们自己身上测试药物,以确保它是安全的。后来,这种药用在疟疾病人身上,大部分病人都痊愈了。这种被称为青蒿素的药物很快成为治疗疟疾的标准药物。
据屠呦呦说,青蒿素的发现是团队共同努力的成果。当听到自己被授予诺贝尔奖时,她说:“这个荣誉不仅仅属于我。在我身后有一个团队,还有我的国家的全体人民。这一成功证明了中医的巨大价值。中国的科研和中医药走向世界,确实是一种荣誉。”
