【中医英语】八纲辨证（二）

5. Heat: Heat describes the absence of an aversion to Cold. If paired with an Exterior pattern, its symptoms can include a rapid pulse, fever, body chills, dehydration, and a sore throat. If paired with an Interior patter, its symptoms can include a preference for cold drinks, clear urine, and a slow pulse.

热：热证是对非恶寒的描述。如果是表热证，其症状可能包括快速搏动，发烧，身体发冷，脱水和喉咙痛。如果是里热证，其症状可能包括喜冷饮，尿液清澈和脉搏缓慢。

6. Cold: Cold describes an aversion to cold. If paired with an Exterior pattern, its symptoms can include body aches, a tense pulse, fever, body chills, and headaches. If paired with an Interior patter, its symptoms can include nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.

寒：寒证是对恶寒的描述。如果是表寒证，其症状可能包括身体疼痛，脉搏紧张，发烧，身体发冷和头痛。如果是里寒证，其症状可能包括恶心，胃痛，呕吐和腹泻。

7. Deficiency: Deficiency is used to describe a vacuity in qi, blood (Xue), or body fluids (Jinye). Depending on how it relates to Interior/Exterior and Cold/Heat, it can manifest as constipation, having a small appetite, dizziness, and slow pulse.

虚：虚证是描述气、血或津液的缺失。取决于与表/里和寒/热的关系，它可能表现为便秘，食欲不振，头晕和脉搏缓慢。

8. Excess: Excess is generally classified as any disease that can't be identified as a Deficiency pattern. Depending on how it relates to Interior/Exterior and Cold/Heat, it can manifest as quick pulse, sweaty palms, and sharp stomach pains.

实：任何无法判定为虚证的疾病一般可以归为实证。取决于它与表/里和寒/热的关系，它可能表现为搏动快速，手掌出汗和胃部剧烈疼痛。

After a basic diagnosis of the diseases is given via the Eight Principles, the diagnostic continues and focuses on more specific conditions. After evaluating the present symptoms, a person’s condition is further evaluated as to how the specific entities (qi, meridians, Zang-fu, etc.) are affected.

通过“八纲辨证”对疾病进行了基本诊断之后，接下来需要把诊断重点放在更具体的条件上。在评估当前症状之后，需要了解特定物质（气，经络， 脏腑等）是如何受到影响，来进一步评估一个人的状况。

So in the next article we will study the causes of diseases. Waiting for you.
