A pharmacy is a shop or a department in a shop where medicines are sold or given out.
2. 制药业；药剂学
Pharmacy is the job or the science of preparing medicines.
In British English,
pharmacy is not the usual way of referring to a shop where medicines are sold or given out. The usual term is
chemist or
chemist's.
She went into a chemist's and bought some aspirin. In American English, the word
drugstore is used, but this usually refers to a shop where you can buy drinks, snacks, and other small items, as well as medicines.
At the drugstore I bought a Coke and the local papers. 在英国英语中，指药店常用的不是
pharmacy，而是chemist 或 chemist's。例如：She went into a chemist's and bought some aspirin（她走进药店买了些阿司匹林）。在美国英语中常用 drugstore，但是在这种地方除了能买药，还可以买到饮料、零食和其他小东西。例如：At the drugstore I bought a Coke and the local papers（我在杂货店买了一瓶可乐和几份当地报纸）。
