比较义项：用于治疗疾病的药物或疗法（名词）。

• remedy

  An informal term for a home remedy or treatment that relieves a minor ailment or its symptoms; it does not necessarily eliminate the illness completely.

  非正式说法，指缓解轻微病痛或症状的家庭疗法或药方，不一定能彻底根除疾病。

• cure 本词

  A formal term for a treatment that completely and permanently removes an illness, often used for serious diseases that currently have no known solution.

  较为正式的说法，指能彻底、永久治愈疾病的疗法，常用于目前尚无有效疗法的重大疾病。

  Scientists are still searching for a cure for the disease.

  科学家们仍在为这种疾病寻找一种疗法。

Remedy and cure both name something used to treat an illness. Remedy is informal, a home treatment that relieves a minor illness, without necessarily removing it. Cure is formal, a treatment that completely removes an illness, often for serious diseases with no known solution.

这两个词都指用来治病的东西，但语气和效果不同：remedy多指非正式的、缓解症状的家庭疗法或药方，不一定能根治；cure则更正式，特指能让疾病完全消失、彻底治愈的方法，常用于目前尚无根治办法的重大疾病。

Compared meaning: to make someone healthy again (verb).

• heal

  Heal usually describes a wound, injury, or body part naturally recovering over time; it can be intransitive, so the injury itself may be the subject.

  heal 通常指伤口、骨折等身体部位随时间自然恢复，可用作不及物动词，伤口本身可作主语。

  The cut on her knee healed within a few days.

  她膝盖上的伤口几天内就愈合了。

• cure 本词

  Cure means an illness or disease is completely eliminated, usually through medical treatment; it is transitive, taking the illness or patient as its object, and often appears in the phrase 'a cure for'.

  cure 表示疾病被彻底治愈，通常借助医学治疗手段；是及物动词，宾语通常是疾病或病人，也常出现在“a cure for”这一短语中。

  Doctors hope the new drug will cure the disease completely.

  医生们希望这种新药能彻底治愈这种疾病。

Heal and cure both mean to make someone healthy again. Heal describes a wound naturally recovering over time; it can be used without an object. Cure means an illness is completely removed through medical treatment; it takes an object, as in a cure for cancer.

两词都表示使恢复健康，但角度不同：heal 常指伤口、骨折等身体部位随时间自然恢复，可作不及物动词；cure 强调借助医药等手段彻底消除疾病，是及物动词，宾语通常是疾病或病人。
