健康

健康是事業成功、家庭美滿的基礎。我們都想擁有健康的體魄,但是您知道怎樣才算得上健康嗎?能吃、能喝?能跑、能跳?或者不生病?這就是健康嗎?就像1+1是否等於2一樣,健康可是大有學問哦。

1.Are You Healthy?

你健康嗎?

世界衛生組織是國際醫學上的權威機構。它對“健康”做出了明確科學的定義。不生病並不代表健康。疾病與健康之間有著一個很寬的頻譜。

(1)WHO世界衛生組織

The World Health Organization (WHO),established in 1948,is a specialized agency designed to further1 international cooperation for improved health conditions.Its duties included epidemic2 control,quarantine3 measures,and the standardization of drugs.Under its constitution,however,WHO is given a much broader mandate4"to promote the attainment of the highest possible level of health by all people."Since the late 1970's,WHO's goal has been"Heath for all by the year2000",to be achieved by focusing on5 primary health care.With administrative headquaters in Geneva,WHO operates through three principal organs:the World Health Assembly which meets annually,an Executive Board of health specialists elected for 3-year terms by the assembly,and a secretary-general.

世界衛生組織

世界衛生組織始建於1948年,是一個以改善健康狀況為目的,致力於促進國際合作的特別機構。它的職責包括流行病控製,實行檢疫措施及推進藥物的標準化等。然而它的章程賦予世界衛生組織一個更重要的任務,即“促使全人類都達到盡可能高的健康水準”。二十世紀七十年代後期以來,世界衛生組織把目標定為通過基礎醫療衛生達到“2000年以前人人都健康”。該組織的行政總部設在日內瓦,通過三個主要的機構來運作;一年一度的世界醫療衛生大會,由大會選出的任期3年的醫學專家執行委員會,以及一位秘書長。

(2)What Does Health Mean?

健康是什麼?

WHO defines health positively as a state of complete physical,mental and social wellbeing and not merely1the absence of disease or infirmity2.In another word,health in human beings is the extent of an individual's continuing physical,emotional,mental,and social ability to cope with his environment.A person may be physically strong,resistant to infection3,able to cope with4physical hardship and other features of his physical environment5,and still be considered unhealthy if his mental state,as measured by his behaviour,be deemed6 unsound.
