英文介紹
A drug is a substance which is taken into the body. Some drugs are taken for illnesses and some are taken for fun. Usually a doctor will give you a drug for an illness to make you well. People take drugs for fun because they affect their body or thoughts in unusual ways. Fun drugs are called "recreational" and drugs for illnesses are called "therapeutic".
Drugs can be taken by eating, smoking or injecting them. Drugs often have bad effects as well as the good effect - these bad effects are called side-effects.
Drugs need to be taken in theright amount. The amount of the drug you take is called a dose. If you take too much of a drug, you can get very sick or even die. If a doctor tells you how much of a drug (the right dose) to take, you should only take that amount. It is also very important to keep taking the drug until the doctor says to stop, because even if you feel better you may still be sick. When a doctor tells you what drug you need to take, how much, and for how long, it is called a prescription.
中文介紹
藥物是一種注入吸收進入身體的物質。有些為了治病時麻醉，有些為了尋求快樂。通常，醫生使用麻藥使你的治療傷口讓它痊癒。當你把它用作毒品時，這些藥通過一些反常的方式作用於他們的身體。當它為了尋求樂趣時，它是供消遣的，當做麻醉時，它起到的是醫療作用。
攝取藥物的方式有吃、吸和注射。藥通常伴有正面作用及負面作用。當它產生不良的影響時，——這些不良影響被稱作副作用。
藥物需要服用正確的數量。你服用的藥物的數量被稱為劑量。如果你服用太多的藥物的話，你會感覺非常噁心甚至死亡。如果醫生告訴你應該服用的劑量（正確的劑量），你應該只服用這些劑量。每天服用直到醫生告訴你停止服用也很重要，因為就算你覺得好多了其實可能還是沒痊癒。當醫生告訴你要服什麼藥，服多少，服多少，就叫作處方
在美國，drug一詞多用於表示有治療性的藥品，同medicine。如果看到Pharmacy的字樣，等同於Drug Store。若是毒品則有其他的慣用俚語表示。
Drug-Substances other than food that change the structure or function of the body or mind.
