Translate the following passage into
Chinese – Article 7
News came
from Taiwan on 19 December via The People’s Daily Internet in Hong Kong that a
Taiwanese bio-tech company had announced that it had developed a type of herbal
medicine called Genic, which could cure Aids. The medicine was discovered
during experiments on lymph cells (淋巴球) outside the human body. After taking the medicine
for four days, it was possible to destroy the entire Aids virus present, but
the drug only affected 30% of normal cells(细胞). This
medicine was expected to be on the market by August next year.
…. The
experiments had proved that three days after taking it the medicine could stop
the growth of the Aids virus, and that after the fourth day it could destroy
the entire virus without harming the human body.
