屠呦呦出席諾獎發佈會 呼籲關注抗瘧疾問題

"Joint efforts are urgently needed to combat malaria", China's Tu Youyou who won 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine said on Sunday.

“社會急需共同努力來抗擊瘧疾問題”，贏得2015年生理學和醫學諾貝爾獎的屠呦呦這樣說道。

Tu, sitting together with the other two laureates William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura, made such an appeal during Sunday's press conference for the Medicine Laureates at the Nobel Forum, Karolinska Institutet.

在卡羅林斯卡學院，屠呦呦和另外兩個諾貝爾醫學獎的獲得者William C. Campbell 和 Satoshi Omura 一起出席新聞發佈會時，發出了這樣的呼籲。

"Malaria is a pandemic that can go easily out of control, especially in low income regions such as Africa. So all parties should, under the framework of the WHO(World Health Organization), try their best to delay the process of Artemisinin resistance. " "It's hard to develop a new drug in the next decade, during which it would be too late, if malaria became widespread." She said, adding that she was "deeply worried about this possible outcome".

“瘧疾是一種很容易失控的流行病，尤其是在非洲這樣的低收入地區。因此，各方應該在世界衛生組織的框架下一起努力來延緩青蒿素藥性。” “在未來10年裏研發出一種新藥是很困難的，如果瘧疾繼續蔓延下去，一切就都晚了。”屠呦呦說道，“爲可能產生的嚴重後果感到非常擔心。”

Talking about the Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) where she found the source and inspiration in successfully developing anti-malaria drug, she emphasized on the value of TCM with "thousands of years' history and empirical knowledge" as "great treasure", and said "combining with modern scientific technologies, more potential can be discovered in searching for new drugs".

談到爲她成功開發抗瘧疾藥物而帶來啓示的中藥時，屠呦呦特別強調，中藥作爲“千年歷史和經驗知識”是“大寶藏”，並表示“在尋找新藥物方面，結合現代科學技術，這樣做將會做得更好”。

Tu won 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in early October for her discoveries concerning a novel therapy against Malaria, artemisinin. Tu is scheduled to receive her award at the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony on Thursday, and later attend the Nobel Banquet and Royal Banquet.

屠呦呦因爲開發了抗擊瘧疾的藥物青蒿素，因而在今年10月獲得了諾貝爾醫學獎。週四，屠呦呦將在諾貝爾獎頒獎儀式上領取獎盃，之後會出席諾貝爾盛宴和皇家級盛宴。
