Now, an update to our story last month about popular medicines to treat coughs and colds in children. The United States Food and Drug Administration had told parents not to give them to children under age two unless a doctor says to use them.

现在报道一则上月关于治疗儿童感冒咳嗽常用药的更新消息。美国食品及药物管理局告诉父母除非有医嘱，否则不要给两岁以下儿童使用这些药物。

The F.D.A. give the advice as it announced the (a) meeting of experts to discuss cold medicines for children. That *adversary (advisory) committee met last week---and voted that these drugs should not be given to children under the age of six. Members said there is not enough evidence to show that these drugs work in children. They called for more research.
在一个关于儿童用感冒药的研讨会中，食品及药物管理局提出了此项建议。顾问委员会在上周见面，并投票同意不对6岁以下儿童使用这些药物。成员指出没有足够的证据证实这些药物对儿童有效。他们呼吁进行更多的研究。

The committee also said that liquid medicines should all use the same measurement terms. This could reduce the risk of parents giving their children too much. In rare cases, deaths have been reported from overdoses.  

委员会还指出液体药物应该使用相同的测量标准。这样可以降低由于父母给儿童过多药物而导致的危险。在极少数情况下中，死亡是由于用药过度造成的。

The drug industry says its produces (products) are safe and effective for children. But it says parents need to be better educated about how to use them. A week before the meeting, the industry decided to end sales of cold products for children under two.

制药产业说他们的产品对儿童是安全且有效的。但是，他们认为应该通过更好地教育让父母知道怎么使用它们。在会议开始的前一周，制药产业决定禁止销售针对两岁以下儿童使用的感冒药。

总结：

Advisory： adj. 顾问的, 咨询的, 劝告的  （PS:竟然不认识这个词？？）
