你怎么今天一天都不说话,感觉不舒服吗？

B: Yeah, I got a canker sore, so I don't want to eat or speak. 

是的,我长口腔溃疡了,不想吃饭,也不想说话。

(shìde, wǒ zhánɡ kǒuqiānɡ kuìyánɡ le, bùxiǎnɡ chīfàn ,yě bùxiǎnɡ shuōhuà.)

A: I know this definitely hurts. I also have a problem with canker sores reappearing.

我知道这一定很难受,我也常常会有口腔溃疡复发的情况。

(wǒ zhīdào zhè yīdìnɡ hěn nánshòu, wǒyě chánɡchánɡ huìyǒu kǒuqiānɡ kuìyánɡ fùfā de qínɡkuànɡ.)

B: Did you know? In addition to a lack of vitamins leading to canker sores, mental or emotional stress also makes them appear more easily.

你知道吗？除了缺乏微量维生素会导致口腔溃疡外,精神和情绪的压力也容易让人产生口腔溃疡。

我最近确实感到有些压力,经常睡不好。

(wǒ zuìjìn quèshí ɡǎndào yǒuxiē yālì, jīnɡchánɡ shuì bùhǎo.)

B: You can try to adjust your sleep schedule by getting to sleep earlier and getting up earlier. Maybe that will help. You can eat non-processed foods that are good for your health. 

你可以调整作息,早睡早起,自然就好了。你也可以吃未经过度加工的健康食物。
