这就像同样一件Valentino礼服，有人穿就是best dressing, 有人就能生生穿成地摊儿货。
MODERN, Western medicine tends to pooh-pooh its herbal cousin. It is true that synthetic pharmaceuticals are purer, more reliable and often more effective than herbs. But many of them have herbal origins, and the sight of pharmacists botanising (collecting herbs from the countryside for sale as medicine) was common in Europe within living memory.
India, too, has a long tradition of herbal medicine, and its government is keen that this tradition should be brought into the mainstream, to the profit of the country's burgeoning drug industry. To that end, it is spending about $40m on what is known as the Golden Triangle Partnership, to assess the country's herbs scientifically, and select those suitable for serious investigation.
Most Indian herbal remedies are based on the Ayurvedic system of medicine, although Tamil-based Siddha and Unani, which has Persian roots, are also used extensively. Proving their worth is a daunting task. There are 80,000 Ayurvedic treatments alone, involving the products of some 3,000 plants. More than 7,000 firms make herbal compounds for medical use. Establishing the active ingredients and exactly how they work would thus take some time.
怎样才算舒服而且有效的阅读呢？
如果上面这段节选中，只有斜体的这几个词让你稍微驻足的话，那么你的词汇量已经基本达到了雅思水平，你正在进行comfortable and effective reading. 两段文字中对我们有用的词也不外乎这几个，下一步就是各个击破：
我们就以daunting 为例：(取自LDCE)
对于这个词，你应该了解的是：
Daunting: frightening in a way that makes you feel less confident: 令人畏惧的
例如：Climbing Everest is a daunting challenge for any mountaineer.
Excuses vary from difficulties in obtaining payment to the daunting prospect of completing export documentation.
同义词： challenging demanding taxing exacting
Daunt : to make someone feel afraid or less confident about something: 使…沮丧；使…畏惧
例如：The book is certainly authoritative but may well daunt the uncommitted reader by its relentlessly hard-nosed factuality.
Dauntless: confident and not easily frightened 不屈不挠的；无畏的
例如：It is here that the dauntless cavalrymen of Ellyrion rest when they return from their long sweeps through their embattled land.
如果你能够每两天读一篇ECONOMIST上的文章，对文章中的三个词作上述工作，两个月之后，有惊喜。
高级：read whatever you want as long as you are doing some reading (in English) every day.
