OTC=over the counter 非處方藥 其實(shí),OTC 的完整表達(dá)是 over the counter,這種藥在柜臺(tái)上就可以買到,不需要專門找醫(yī)生開藥,也就是我們家中常備的非處方藥。 counter n. /?ka?n.t?r/ a long, flat, narrow surface or table in a shop, bank, restaurant, etc. at which people are served 柜臺(tái) Over-the-counter medicine is also known as OTC or nonprescription medicine. All these terms refer to medicine that you can buy without a prescription. They are safe and effective when you follow the directions on the label and as directed by your health care professional. Over-the-counter藥也被稱為OTC或非處方藥。所有這些術(shù)語(yǔ)都指的是不用處方就能買到的藥。當(dāng)你按照說(shuō)明書上或衛(wèi)生保健專業(yè)人員指導(dǎo)服用時(shí),它們是安全有效的。 例: Recently many people have got a cold, so I want to buy some OTC drugs in the drugstore. 最近很多人都感冒了,所以我想去藥店買些非處方藥。 prescription 非處方藥的標(biāo)識(shí)是 OTC,實(shí)際上處方藥也有個(gè)標(biāo)識(shí),就是 Rx. Rx 來(lái)源于拉丁語(yǔ)里的 Recipe,表示請(qǐng)取……來(lái)。醫(yī)生開完藥,通常會(huì)吩咐藥劑師按照處方拿藥給病人。 prescription /pr?'skr?p?(?)n/ n.處方;藥方;醫(yī)生開的藥 prescribe /pr?'skra?b/ v. 開藥;開處方 處方藥 prescription drugs/ medicine 民間偏方 folk prescription 藥房 pharmacy prescription 是醫(yī)生開的藥方,drug 和 medicine 都是藥品,所以處方藥就是 prescription drugs 或 prescription medicine. 例: Sleeping pills and antibiotics are both prescription drugs. 安眠藥和抗生素都是處方藥。 再給大家科普一個(gè)小知識(shí): OTC 標(biāo)識(shí)有兩種不同的底色,有的是紅色,有些則是綠色。 它分為甲類OTC和乙類OTC。 好啦,今天的小知識(shí)點(diǎn),你學(xué)會(huì)了嘛? |
