Hippocratic oath的意思|示意

Hippocratic oath是一种老牌的承诺，一般用于医生和从医生行业出来的人。它被称为“希波克拉底宣言”，它源于公元前4世纪希腊医生希波克拉底的文字。它的宗旨非常简洁：“我绝不伤害病人。”

用英语解读Hippocratic oath，大致可以表达为：

I swear，by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygeia and Panacea and all the gods and goddesses，to keep according to my ability and my judgement，the following Oath：

To consider dear to me as my parents him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and if necessary to share my goods with him; to look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or written promise; to impart to my own sons and to the sons of him who taught me and the disciples who have enrolled themselves and have agreed to the rules of the profession, but to these alone the precepts and the instruction.

I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgement and never do harm to anyone. I will not give a deadly drug to anyone if asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.

In purity and according to divine law will I carry out my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but I will leave this to men who are practitioners of this work.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.

What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about.

总而言之，Hippocratic oath是医生们必须秉持的守则，它旨在保护病人的生命和尊严，守住职业道德，为病人提供最高质量的医疗服务。
