| 词汇 | medicine |
| 词源 | medicine. Maurice B. Gordon nicely explained this word, as Indians used it, in Aesculapius Comes to the Colonies (1949): “The word ‘medicine’ itself is a good example of the American Indian’s dualism of theology and medicine . . . He employed the term not only for a drug or herb but also for some super- natural agency which may be invoked to cure disease or even insure the success of an undertaking.” |
