Western aid agencies did not take advantage of artemisinin for decades, even after itseffectiveness was established. Older drugs were cheaper, but resistance to them was growingand some experts said the delay endangered lives.

西方援助机构数十年来没有使用青蒿素，即便在其有效性得到确认后也没有使用。老药比较便宜，但对它们的抗药性越来越强，一些专家认为，这种拖延危及生命。

The Nobel is not the first recognition for Dr. Tu’s work. In 2011, when she won the $250,000Lasker Award for clinical medical research, which named her the discoverer of artemisinin, someChinese and Western malaria experts protested.

诺贝尔奖并非屠呦呦的工作得到的第一个认可。2011年，屠呦呦获得拉斯克奖临床医学研究奖(LaskerAward)，被授予25万美元奖金以表彰她发现青蒿素，当时一些中国及西方的疟疾专家提出了抗议。

Dr. Nicholas J. White, a prominent malaria researcher at Oxford, said that others involved inthe research equally deserved the honor. He suggested that the clinical trial leader, Dr. LiGuoqiao, and a chemist, Li Ying, had contributed just as much. A malaria researcher from HongKong, Dr. Keith Arnold, agreed.

牛津大学著名的疟疾研究员尼古拉斯·J·怀特(Nicholas J. White)博士说，其他参与研究的人员同样应该获奖。他表示，临床试验负责人李国桥、化学家李英做出了同样多的贡献。香港的疟疾研究员基思·阿诺德(KeithArnold)博士同意这一观点。
