还行，我还蛮喜欢闻的。去年我在厦门的时候泡过，里面有很多中药温泉，像什么人参温泉啊，冬虫夏草温泉啊，大大小小几十个池子呢。每种温泉都有不同的疗效。

It's okay. I really like the smell of it. Last year when I was in Xiamen I did it. They've got all kinds of TCM hot springs there like ginseng hot springs, cordyceps fungus hot springs, a bunch of pools of all sizes. Every kind of hot spring has different therapeutic effects.

你听他们瞎吹。那些都是人工的，连温泉都称不上，也就是几池子的热水。别说有什么疗效了，说不定都细菌超标了。

You're just buying into their hype. All of these are man made. You can't call them hot springs; they're just a some pools of hot water. Don't talk about the therapeutic effects. They might have more bacteria in them than they should.

当然是真的。蛇酒有滋阴壮阳、祛湿散寒等功效，可以治疗头痛，骨痛，中风，特别是对风湿病的疗效尤为显著。男人女人老人都能喝。

是啊，而且这个人还是一个大学教授。他在自己的博客上发表了好几篇文章，说中医是不科学，没有疗效，而且滥用自然资源，欺骗患者等等，呼吁民间告别中医中药。

Yeah. And this guy is a university professor. He published a bunch of articles on his personal blog saying that Chinese Medicine is not scientific, it's not useful, that it wastes natural resources, and that it scams sufferers. He's calling for people to say good-bye to Chinese Medicine.

没错，那就是醋有很好的保健功效。今天我就和赵老师一起向大家，特别是中老年朋友们，介绍醋蛋的做法和吃法。醋蛋可以软化血管，对动脉硬化、高血压有很好的疗效，还能增强免疫力。

That's right-- vinegar is good for maintaining good health! Today, Mr. Zhao and I would like tell everyone, especially the middle-aged or elderly people out there, how to make and eat pickled eggs. Pickled eggs can soften your blood vessels, so they're effective against hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure. They can also improve your immunity.

谁规定冬天不能游泳了？专家说，冬泳能在一定程度上提高免疫力，能够让人在春天和冬天的时候不容易患流感，而且对关节炎、风湿病、胃病、高血压等病症也有奇特的疗效，健身价值比夏天游泳更高，所以现在正流行冬泳呢，你也大可以去试试。
