Sample Sentences

这你就不懂了。你们西医看问题是看表面。而我们中医是标本兼治。我给你举个例子，现在很多人脸上长青春痘，但是擦护肤品一点用都没有。为什么呢？因为根源是上火，一定要去火调理。
zhè nǐ jiù bù dǒng le 。nǐmen xīyī kàn wèntí shì kàn biǎomiàn 。ér wǒmen zhōngyī shì biāoběnjiānzhì 。wǒ gěi nǐ jǔ ge lìzi ，xiànzài hěn duō rén liǎn shàng zhǎng qīngchūndòu ，dànshì cā hùfūpǐn yīdiǎn yòng dōu méiyǒu 。wèishénme ne ？yīnwèi gēnyuán shì shànghuǒ ，yīdìng yào qùhuǒ tiáolǐ 。
You just don't understand. Your Western medicine sees only the surface of problems. But our Chinese medicine cures both the symptoms and the roots of problems. I'll give you an example. These days a lot of people have acne on their faces. But facial cleansing products don't work at all. Why is that? Because the underlying reason is excessive internal heat. You need to get rid of it to recuperate.

有上火，还有去火？难不成中医都是消防员，哪里着了火，就赶去灭火？

There's excessive heat, and also getting rid of the heat? Does this mean that Chinese doctors are firefighters? They go wherever there's fire and put it out?

你要这么理解也行。其实在中医里，根据问题对症下药是很关键的。一般来说，比较苦的或者水分多的食物都是凉性的，可以去火。还有很多中草药是专门用来去火的。

It's fine if you want to understand it that way. Actually, in Chinese medicine, the key is fitting the medicine to the disease. Generally speaking, bitter things or things that contain a lot of water are cooling foods and help you get rid of excessive internal heat. And there are a lot of traditional Chinese herbal medicines specially for helping you get rid of excessive internal heat.

哟，你学得真快啊。不过要先搞清火的类型，然后才可以有针对性地去火。比如我刚刚说的心火。如果心火太旺，就会心烦、失眠、口舌生疮什么的。这个时候，用莲子清火，效果特别好。
yō ，nǐ xué de zhēn kuài a 。bùguò yào xiān gǎoqīng huǒ de lèixíng ，ránhòu cái kěyǐ yǒu zhēnduìxìng de qùhuǒ 。bǐrú wǒ gānggāng shuō de xīnhuǒ 。rúguǒ xīnhuǒ tài wàng ，jiù huì xīnfán 、shīmián 、kǒushé shēngchuāng shénme de 。zhègeshíhòu ，yòng liánzǐ qīnghuǒ ，xiàoguǒ tèbié hǎo 。
Whoa, you learn fast. But first you have to figure out the type of internal heat before you can use the appropriate medicine. For example, think of the heart fire I just mentioned. If you have too much fire in your heart, you will feel annoyed, you'll be insomniac, and you'll get sores on your tongue. At times like this, you get really good results from using lotus seeds to get rid of internal heat.
