Sample Sentences

相信是相信，可是也担忧啊。现在中医面临的最大危机就是缺乏创新和发展，一直以来中医在诊断方法和症状分类方面就不够精确，因此中医大多只针对个人进行诊疗，这不仅不利于展开大范围的、系统的治疗工作，而且也不利于新医师的培养。

They do believe in it, but they're apprehensive about it. The biggest crisis now facing Chinese Medicine is innovation and development. Chinese medicine has never been precise enough about diagnostic methods and classifying symptoms. So Chinese Medicine was mostly only good for diagnosing and treating individual cases. Not only was this not useful in opening a broad ranging, systematic type of treatment, it was also not good for the training of new doctors.
