acne/痤疮/ (cuó chuānɡ)

A: Why have you been so unhappy today? What happened?

你怎么一天闷闷不乐的,发生什么事了吗？

(nǐ zěnme yītiān mènmèn bùlè de, fāshēnɡ shenme shì le ma?)

B: I don't know why, but I got pimples on my face. 

不知道什么原因,我的脸上长了好多痘痘。

(bùzhīdào shenme yuányīn, wǒde liǎnshànɡ zhánɡle hǎoduō dòudòu.)

A: I used to get pimples often, so I really understand your frustration. Pimples on your face are usually common acne. Because our skin type is oily, increased testosterone levels or work pressure can all lead to an imbalance in our endocrine system, which can also then lead to oily skin.

我以前也经常长痘,所以我深知你的烦恼。脸上长痘绝大部分就是我们常见的痤疮。因为我们本身皮脂分泌过多,雄性激素水平增高或因为工作压力等都会导致内分泌失调,也会导致皮脂分泌过多。

B: You're right. I recently have been going to bed late due to work. 

你说的很对,我最近确实是因为工作而晚睡。

(nǐshuōde hěnduì, wǒ zuìjìn quèshí shì yīnwéi ɡōnɡzuò ér wǎnshuì.)

A: I have a few recommendations for you. First, do your best to avoid spicy foods in your diet. Next, to relax your mind more.

我有几点建议可以分享给你。首先,饮食尽量避免辛辣。其次,放松心情。
