nature maintain~ to preserve balance
6
The point is that what is roughly true, that as we get older it becomes harder to learn new behaviour, is not true for everyone in every respect.
7
At most the saying captures the idea that it may be difficult to ④ maintain the ways of an older person.
1
To the Hippocratic physician, the fundamental principle of his art was the concept that nature seeks to maintain a condition of ① stability; its forces are constantly adjusting and readjusting the normal parts of the body to preserve a balance among them.
2
When this balance exists, we are healthy.
balance = healthy
3
Under any of a variety of influences, the equilibrium may be ② disturbed, resulting in one part’s appearing in excess.
4
When this happens, sickness ③ disappears, the particular disease depending primarily upon which substance has gained the ascendancy.
5
It is the function of the physician to help nature ④ restore the state of equilibrium.
6
Since each disease has a distinctive natural course of its own, the physician must make himself so familiar with it that he can predict the ⑤ sequence of events and know whether and precisely when to intervene with treatment that will help nature to do its work.
* equilibrium 평형 (상태)
** ascendancy 지배력을 행사할 수 있는 위치

This isn’t true of all dogs, and certainly isn’t true of all human beings.
4
There are many older people who are ② capable of making radical leaps in their ability.
5
This is not to deny the effects of ③ ageing.
1
Many proverbs contain germs of truth, and some are indeed profound, but they aren’t reliable sources of knowledge and can be ① misleading.
2
For example, take the saying ‘You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
8
However, the saying implies that you can never teach any older person anything new, which is a hasty generalisation and one which is fairly obviously ⑤ false.
