The best remedy for an injury is to forget it.
医疗创伤的最好办法就是将其忘却。
【世博精解】
Remedy, a medicine to cure an illness or pain that is not very serious,疗法;药物。An excellent remedy for period pains,治疗周期性疼痛的特效药。例句:Take a vacation; it’s a good remedy for unhappiness.休假,这是治疗不高兴的好办法。
Injury, it’s the noun form of injure, it means a wound or damage to part of our body caused by an accident or attack,伤害,损害。Insurance against injury at work工伤保险。例句:he suffered serious injuries to the arms and legs.他的胳膊和腿都受了重伤。/injure to one’s pride这里的injure是一种比喻的用法,表示伤害了个人的自尊心。
在这个谚语中,对于injury的理解我是这样认为的:injury在这里并不表示身体上,肉体上的伤害,而是指人的心灵所受到的创伤。
随着医疗技术的不断发展,身体的伤痛已有许多的特效药可以治愈;而心灵的创伤除了忘却,是没有任何特效药可以医治的。因此我们说:The best remedy for an injury is to forget it.
