Traditional emphasizes how old a method or idea is; conventional emphasizes how usual it is now. For example, conventional medicine is the type of medicine now used by most people, using modern, scientific methods and drugs. Traditional medicine uses much older methods and medicines prepared from plants and other natural ingredients. This medicine may not have been scientifically tested but many people believe it to be effective: it is a form of alternative medicine, which is the opposite or complement of conventional medicine. * traditional强调方法或观念由来已久，conventional强调现在人们对其已习以为常。例如，conventional medicine指现在为大多数人接受的医学，使用现代的科学方法和药物。traditional medicine指使用更古老的方法和用植物和其他天然原料调制药物的传统医学，可能未经科学测试，但许多人相信有效，是一种alternative medicine（替代医学），与conventional medicine（常规医学）相对或为其补充。■ mainstream / /ˈmeɪnstriːm/ / [usually before noun] following the ideas that are thought to be normal because they are shared by most people 符合主流思想的◆Many sports are not adequately covered in the mainstream media.很多运动没有被主流媒体充分报道。◆She was an important figure in both avant-garde and mainstream cinema.在前卫电影和主流电影领域，她都是一位重要人物。■ classical [usually before noun] widely accepted and used for a long time;
