【原文】绿源苔干有清热降压、通经脉、壮筋骨、去口臭、解热毒酒毒的功效。

【译文】It has been proved that Lvyuan Taigan is able to produce certain medical effects,namely,to allay internal heat and fever,to reduce hypertension,to regulate and strengthen bodily functions,to relieve halitosis and to dispel the effects of alcohol.

【点评】“通经脉、壮筋骨”、“热毒酒毒”是中医特有的说法，是中医理论术语，若按字面直译，恐怕西方读者会摸不着头脑。译文使用比较通俗的“to regulate and strengthen bodily functions”和“to relieve halitosis and to dispel the effects of alcohol”来英译，既有效地实现了原文的信息功能，又给读者提供了充分理解原文思想的方便途径。
