对症下药

【Make a right judgement】

范文：Hua Tuo was a great medical scientist in China. He had excellent medical skills and always made a right judgement of the illness.

One day, two guys came to his home. Both of them said they had headache and fever. But, after diagnosing two of them, Hua Tuo gave them two kinds of different medicine. These two men were confused and asked: “We have the same symptom, why should we take different medicine?” Hua Tuo smiled: “Although your symptom looks the same, it was caused by different causes. So you should take different medicine.”

Soon after, these two men recovered.

译文：华陀是东汉末年著名的医学家，他医术高明，诊断准确，在我国医学史上享有很高的地位。

华陀给病人诊疗时，能够根据不同的情况，开出不同的处方。

有一次，两个人一同到华陀那儿看病，他们诉说的病症相同：头痛发热。华陀分别给两人诊了脉后，给其中一人开了泻药，而给另一人开了发汗的药。

两人看了药方，感到非常奇怪，问：”我们两人的症状相同，病情一样，为什么吃的药却不一样呢？”

华陀解释说：“你俩只是病症的表象类似，实则病因却大不相同，我当然得对症下药，给你们用不同的药治疗了。”

二人服药后，没过多久，病就全好了。
