Passage Two
短文二
Is there really a magic memory pill or a herbal recall remedy?
魔力記憶力藥片或者記憶力補救草藥真的存在嗎？
I have been frequently asked if these memory supplements work.
我經常被問到這些記憶力補品是否有效？
You know, one of the first things I like to tell people when they ask me about the supplements, is that a lot of them are promoted as a cure for your memory.
當人們問到我記憶力補品的時候，我首先要告訴他們的是這類補藥被宣傳為能治愈他們的記憶力。
But your memory doesn't need a cure.
但是你的記憶力并不需要治療。
What your memory needs is a good workout.
你的記憶力需要的是良好的鍛煉。
So really those supplements aren't going to give you that perfect memory in the way that they promise.
所以那些補品真的不會給你帶來他們所承諾的那種完美的記憶力。
The other thing is that a lot of these supplements aren't necessarily what they claim to be, and you really have to be wary when you take any of them.
另一件事是很多補品并不像他們所說的那樣，你需要謹慎服用。
The science isn't there behind most of them.
很多補品并沒有科學依據。
They're not really well-regulated unless they adhere to some industry standard.
其實他們的管理并不良好，除非他們遵守行業標準。
You don't really know that what they say is in there, isn't there.
你并不知道這些藥品是否有效。
What you must understand is that those supplements, especially in some eastern cultures, are part of a medical practice tradition.
你必須明白的是，尤其是在一些東方文化中，這類補藥是傳統醫學的一部分。
People don't just go in a local grocery store and buy these supplements.
人們不只是到當地雜貨店去買這類補藥。
In fact, they are prescribed and they're given at a certain level, a dosage that is understood by a practitioner who's been trained.
實際上，這類補藥屬于處方藥，須由經過訓練的職業醫師規定劑量。
And that's not really the way they're used in this country.
而這個國家并沒有采取這種方式。
The other thing people do forget is that these are medicines, so they do have an impact.
人們忘記了一件事，那就是這類補藥是藥品，他們確實會帶來一些影響。
A lot of times people are not really aware of the impact they have, or the fact that taking them in combination with other medications might put you at increased risk for something that you wouldn't otherwise being countering or be at risk for.
很多時候人們并沒有真正意識到服用這類補藥所帶來的影響，也不知道與其他藥物同服可能會增加出現某些不良情況的風險。
