翻译题 在大多数经济部门,都是卖家试图用价格、质量、用途等各种诱惑来吸引潜在的买家,而买家做出是否购买的决定。然而,在医疗产业,医患关系却是生产者和消费者之间一般关系的镜像(mirror image)。一旦一个人决定看医生的话,通常是医生做出所有重大的消费决定:患者是否下个星期一再来,是否需要x光透视,是否要开药,等等。
【正确答案】 In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various inducements of price, quality and utility, and the buyer who makes the decision. In medical industry, however, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between the producer and the consumer. Once an individual decides to see a doctor, the doctor usually makes all significant decisions: whether the patient should return next Monday, whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc.
