[JL] Yes, this is Professor Tu Youyou's home.

【李进】嗯，这里是屠呦呦教授家。

[AS} So first of all, may we ask what is Professor Tu's reaction to the award of the Nobel Prize?

[JL for Youyou Tu] Yes, Professor Tu Youyou is very glad to own the Nobel Prize.

[AS] Thank you very much. And what does the award of the Nobel Prize mean for her and for Chinese science?

【亚当*斯密斯】非常感谢。获得诺贝尔奖对她【屠呦呦教授】和中国科学（事业）意味着什么？

[JL for TY]

 I'm very glad that the new anti-malaria drug artemisinin earns international recognition from the Nobel Prize committee.

Also, I want to show my gratitude and respect to Nobel Committee, Karolinska Institute and Sweden people.

Yes, Chinese people wish to win Nobel Prize for long time, and this time artemisinin win this Prize. Shows that our work to research anti-malaria drugs is at a high level and achieve good result.

So at the moment when we begin to research anti-malaria drug this old drug had already got drug resistance. As a result we worked very hard to find anti-malaria drug artemisinin and to save millions of lives. It shows that as a scientific worker we need innovation spirit to find new things.

【李进替屠呦呦译答】

抗疟疾新药青篙素通过诺贝尔委员会得到了世界的认可，对此我感到非常高兴；同时，我要向诺贝尔委员会、卡罗林斯卡学院和瑞典人民表示感谢并致以敬意。

是的，长期以来，中国人民一直希望能赢得诺贝尔奖，这次青篙素获得诺贝尔奖说明我们研究抗疟疾药物的工作达到了高水准并取得了良好成果。当我们开始寻找抗疟疾药物时，（疟疾对）老药已经出现了抗药性，因此我们寻找抗疟疾药物青篙素的工作过程很是艰难，而青篙素拯救了数百万人的生命。这说明作为科学工作者，我们需要秉持创新精神去发现新事物。
