n.(名词)

1. medicine的基本意思是“药”,是药物的总称,尤指内服药; 可指直接用于病人的药,不指制药的原料; 可指合成药,也可指其中的一种药。medicine还可指“医术,医学”。
2. medicine一般为不可数名词,但作“各种各样的药”解时可用作可数名词,可以有复数形式。
3. 表示“吃药”通常说take〔have〕 medicine,而不说eat〔drink〕 medicine。
4. 表示“治疗…的药”时介词通常用for。

1. medicine和drug的比较：前者可以表示物质名词，统一表示“药物”，而后者不可以。表示“服药”时，medicine习惯与动词take搭配，而不是eat，

   He does not take medicine.
   他不喜欢吃药。

2. 如take medicine。drug也有相同的用法，但是注意如果是take a drag和take drugs的话，含不同的意思，为“服麻醉药”。medicine既可指合成的药，也可指单纯的药，但drug只可指单纯的药，例如中药六神丸属于合成药，是medicine，而不是drug，甘草是单纯的药，既是medicine，也是drug。medicine一般只表示直接用于病人的药，而drug却常还可指制药的原料。medicine一般表示内服的药，不表示外用的药。外用的常用lotion来表示，而medicament一词兼指内服与外用药；
3. 表示“治某病的药”，常用a medicine for...的结构。

   This is a good medicine for colds.
   这是治感冒的好药。

Sunshine and rest are good medicine for convalescents.对于恢复期的病人,阳光与休息是有效的疗法。
