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）。
