Do you want to know my most often-heard myth that's not true?

你想知道我最常聽到，但卻不是正確的迷思是什麼嗎？

Myth number one

第一個迷思是

Animal testing is the only way to ensure that drugs are safe for human use.

動物測試是保證人類用藥安全的唯一方法

All drugs that enter into clinical trials must undergo extensive animal testing.

所有的藥物開始從事臨床試驗必須經過廣泛的動物實驗

Yet, 90% fail in human trials.

然而，百分之九十在人體實驗時都是失敗的

Best case?

最好的情況是？

That might mean you, the patient, experience absolutely no benefit from the drug.

那可能指的是你，病人，從藥物中完全沒得到任何益處

Worst case?

最糟糕的情況是？

You end up with, say, a damaged liver, kidneys, blind, or dead.

你最終得到，比方，損壞的肝臟，腎臟，瞎眼，或是死亡

yah.

是的。

Myth number two.

第二個迷思

Without animal testing, there's no hope to cure diseases.

沒有動物試驗，就沒有治癒疾病的希望

(myth!)

（迷思！）

Not only do alternatives exist, they're being developed at record speed.

替代方案不但存在，它們還正以創紀錄的速度發展中。

The world is moving towards a future dominated by more sophisticated methods.

世界正走向一個以尖端方式主導的未來

Using computers, robots, and even artificial and real human cells and organs.

利用電腦，機器人，甚至人造的和真人細胞以及器官

These methods are faster, often less expensive, and as effective - if not more - than current and often extremely out-dated animal experiencing used today.

這些方式更快，通常比較便宜，而且一樣有效— 有可能比目前這個過時的動物試驗更有效

Myth number three.

第三個迷思

There is nothing we can do to stop animal testing.

The good news is, groups like the Humane Society of the United States
