药学英语翻译the scope of pharmacology

Question

In its entirety, pharmacology embraces the knowledge of the
history, source, physical and chemical properties,
compounding, biochemical and physiological effects, mechanisms of action,
absorption, distribution, biotransformation and
excretion, and therapeutic and other uses of drugs. Since a drug is broadly
defined as any chemical agent that affects living
processes, the subject of pharmacology is obviously quite extensive.
For the physician and the medical student, however, the scope of pharmacology
is less expansive than indicated by the
above definitions. The clinician is interested primarily in drugs that are
useful in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment
of human disease, or in the prevention of pregnancy. His study of the
pharmacology of these drugs can be reasonably limited
to those aspects that provide the basis for their rational clinical use.

整体来说，药理学涵盖历史、来源、物理和化学性质、混配，生化和生理效果、作用机理、吸收、分布、生物转化和排泄，以及药物治疗及其他用途的知识。因为一种药物大体上被定义为影响生命过程的任何化学制剂，药理学的学科主体显然相当广泛。可是，对于医生和医学学生，药理学的范围并不如上面定义指出的那么宽泛。临床医生主要对预防、诊断和治疗人类疾病有用的药物感兴趣，或对于预防怀孕有用的药物感兴趣。他对这些药物的药理学的研究可以合理地限制在为其合理的临床用途提供基础的那些方面。
