如果有人问,近年美国最畅销的书是什么,回答是:不是小说,不是回忆录,而是医疗保健书。购买这些书籍的大多并不是专业的医务人员,而是普通百姓,尤其是老年读者。与此同时,医学知识录像带、电脑网络上的医疗咨询服务也十分红火。这种种现象表明,美国人的自我医疗保健意识空前增强。 If someone asks what the best-selling book in the United States was in recent years, the answer is: It is not a novel, not a memoir, but a health care book. Most of the books they buy are not professional medical staff, but ordinary people, especially older readers. At the same time, medical knowledge videos and medical consultation services on the computer network are also booming. This phenomenon shows that Americans are more self-aware of health care.
