At the A1 level, you only need to know that '过敏' (guòmǐn) means 'allergic.' You should learn the simplest sentence structure: '我 (I) + 对 (to) + [Food] + 过敏 (allergic).' For example, '我对牛奶过敏' (I am allergic to milk). This is a survival phrase. You don't need to worry about complex grammar or different types of allergies yet. Just focus on being able to tell a waiter or a friend about your most dangerous allergies. Remember that '对' is like a bridge connecting you to the thing that makes you sick. Also, learn the question '你过敏吗?' (Are you allergic?) which is a simple way to ask someone else. At this stage, treat '过敏' like a simple adjective that describes your condition. If you go to a Chinese restaurant, being able to say '我对花生过敏' (I'm allergic to peanuts) is the most important use of this word. You might also hear it when someone sneezes and says '花粉' (pollen). Keep it simple and focus on nouns for food and animals.
At the A2 level, you should be able to use '过敏' in more varied contexts, such as talking about pets or the weather. You should start using degree adverbs like '很' (very) or '有点儿' (a little bit). For example, '我对猫有一点儿过敏' (I'm a little allergic to cats). You should also recognize the word in slightly longer sentences, like '因为我对海鲜过敏,所以我不吃虾' (Because I'm allergic to seafood, I don't eat shrimp). At this level, you are expected to understand that '过敏' is the reason for certain behaviors or choices. You should also be familiar with the negative form: '我对什么都不过敏' (I'm not allergic to anything). You might start to see '过敏' used with '药' (medicine), which is important for basic healthcare. The focus at A2 is on cause and effect—using '因为...所以...' (because... therefore...) to explain your allergy. You should also be able to ask more specific questions, like '你对这种药过敏吗?' (Are you allergic to this kind of medicine?).
By B1, you should understand '过敏' as a condition that can change or be managed. You will encounter phrases like '过敏反应' (allergic reaction) and '过敏症状' (allergy symptoms). You should be able to describe what happens when you have an allergy, using words like '打喷嚏' (sneeze), '发痒' (itch), or '红肿' (red and swollen). At this level, you might use '过敏' to talk about skincare and environmental factors in more detail. For example, '我的皮肤很容易过敏,所以我不随便换护肤品' (My skin is easily allergic, so I don't change skincare products casually). You should also understand the difference between '过敏' and '敏感' (sensitive). You'll start to hear the word in more formal settings, such as a doctor explaining a diagnosis. You might also encounter the metaphorical use of the word in casual conversation, where someone says they are 'allergic' to a certain type of person or music, though this is still secondary to the medical meaning. You should be comfortable using '过敏' in the past tense with '了' to describe a specific incident: '我昨天吃鱼过敏了' (I had an allergic reaction after eating fish yesterday).
At the B2 level, you should be able to discuss '过敏' in a semi-professional or academic context. This includes understanding '过敏原' (allergen) and '过敏体质' (allergic constitution/disposition). You should be able to read articles about health and the environment that use '过敏' as a key term. For example, a report on rising '花粉过敏' (pollen allergy) rates due to climate change. You should also be able to use more sophisticated sentence structures, such as '由于...导致了过敏' (Due to... it led to an allergy). At this stage, you should be aware of the nuances in medical advice, such as '过敏期间避免吃辛辣食物' (Avoid spicy food during an allergy flare-up). You should also be able to distinguish between different types of allergies, such as '季节性过敏' (seasonal allergies) and '药物过敏' (drug allergies). Your vocabulary should expand to include related medical terms like '抗过敏药' (anti-allergy medicine/antihistamines). Metaphorical usage becomes more common in your own speech, using '过敏' to describe a strong aversion to abstract concepts or social behaviors.
At the C1 level, you should have a nuanced understanding of '过敏' in various registers, from highly technical medical journals to literary metaphors. You should be able to discuss the immunology of allergies using terms like '免疫系统' (immune system) and '过度反应' (overreaction). In a literary context, '过敏' might be used to describe a character's hyper-sensitivity to their environment or the emotions of others. You should be able to interpret complex sentences where '过敏' is part of a larger technical term, such as '过敏性鼻炎' (allergic rhinitis) or '过敏性哮喘' (allergic asthma). You can participate in deep discussions about public health policies regarding food labeling and allergens in schools. You should also be able to use the word with precision in writing, choosing between '过敏,' '不耐受' (intolerance), and '排斥' (rejection) based on the exact medical or social situation. You understand the cultural history of how allergies have been perceived in China versus the West, and you can articulate these differences in a sophisticated manner.
At the C2 level, your mastery of '过敏' is indistinguishable from that of a highly educated native speaker. You can understand and use the word in the most specialized medical contexts, such as discussing '过敏性休克' (anaphylactic shock) protocols or the molecular structure of '过敏原.' You are capable of reading and critiquing medical research papers written in Chinese regarding '脱敏治疗' (desensitization therapy). Beyond medicine, you can use '过敏' with extreme subtlety in social and political commentary. For example, describing a society's '过敏反应' to a new policy or cultural shift, implying an immediate and widespread systemic rejection. You can navigate any high-stakes situation involving allergies, such as legal disputes over food labeling or medical malpractice cases involving allergic reactions. Your use of the word is flexible, spanning from the most casual slang to the most rigorous academic discourse, and you understand every subtle connotation and historical evolution of the term in the Chinese language.

过敏 30秒で

  • 过敏 (guòmǐn) is the standard Chinese word for 'to be allergic' or 'allergy.'
  • It is used with the preposition '对' (duì) to indicate the allergen.
  • It covers food, medicine, environmental factors, and metaphorical aversions.
  • Common symptoms associated are sneezing, itching, and rashes.

The term 过敏 (guòmǐn) is a vital medical and everyday term in Chinese that literally translates to 'excessive sensitivity.' In a clinical sense, it refers to the body's immune system reacting abnormally to a foreign substance that is typically harmless to most people. However, its usage in modern Mandarin extends far beyond the doctor's office, permeating social interactions, dining habits, and even metaphorical descriptions of personality traits or psychological aversions.

Etymological Breakdown
The character 过 (guò) means to exceed, surpass, or cross a limit. The character 敏 (mǐn) relates to sensitivity, agility, or quickness. Combined, they describe a state where one's sensitivity has surpassed the normal or healthy threshold.

When you are in China or speaking with Chinese natives, you will most frequently encounter this word in the context of food and environment. Because Chinese cuisine often involves complex mixtures of ingredients—such as peanut oil, shellfish, or soy—clearly communicating a guòmǐn is a matter of safety. It is not merely a preference; it is a physiological boundary.

我对花生过敏,请不要放花生酱。(Wǒ duì huāshēng guòmǐn, qǐng bùyào fàng huāshēngjiàng.)

Translation: I am allergic to peanuts; please do not add peanut butter.

Beyond physical reactions like rashes (hóngzhěn) or sneezing (pèntì), 过敏 can be used metaphorically. For instance, if someone is extremely sensitive to criticism or a particular topic, you might hear it used to describe their psychological 'allergy' to that subject. It implies an immediate, sharp, and perhaps disproportionate reaction.

Clinical Context
In a hospital (yīyuàn), a doctor will ask if you have any drug allergies: '你对什么药物过敏吗?' (Nǐ duì shénme yàowù guòmǐn ma?). This is standard procedure before administering antibiotics like penicillin.

春天到了,很多人对花粉过敏。(Chūntiān dàole, hěnduō rén duì huāfěn guòmǐn.)

Translation: Spring has arrived; many people are allergic to pollen.

In summary, 过敏 is an essential 'survival' word. Whether you are navigating a menu, visiting a pharmacy, or describing your reaction to the spring air, this word serves as the primary bridge to explain that your body is rejecting a specific stimulus. It functions as a verb-object structure in many cases but is most commonly treated as a stative verb or adjective describing a condition triggered by an external agent.

Grammatically, 过敏 is almost always used with the preposition 对 (duì), which means 'towards' or 'to.' The standard sentence pattern is: [Subject] + 对 + [Allergen] + 过敏. Unlike English, where you 'have' an allergy, in Chinese, you 'are allergic towards' something.

The Standard Pattern
Subject + 对 + Object + 过敏. Example: 我对猫过敏 (Wǒ duì māo guòmǐn) - I am allergic to cats.

You can also use adverbs of degree to describe the severity of the allergy. For example, using 非常 (fēicháng - very) or 严重 (yánzhòng - serious/severe). Note that 严重 usually modifies the state of the allergy rather than just the word itself in a simple adverbial way.

他的过敏反应非常严重,必须去医院。(Tā de guòmǐn fǎnyìng fēicháng yánzhòng, bìxū qù yīyuàn.)

Translation: His allergic reaction is very severe; he must go to the hospital.

When asking a question, you can use the A-not-A form or the ma particle. For example: '你对海鲜过不过敏?' (Nǐ duì hǎixiān guò bu guòmǐn?) or '你对海鲜过敏吗?' (Nǐ duì hǎixiān guòmǐn ma?). Both are equally common in spoken Mandarin.

Another common structure involves using 过敏 as a noun, typically followed by 反应 (fǎnyìng - reaction) or 症状 (zhèngzhuàng - symptom). This allows you to describe the specific nature of the allergy in a more technical or descriptive way.

这种药可能会引起皮肤过敏。(Zhè zhǒng yào kěnéng huì yǐnqǐ pífū guòmǐn.)

Translation: This medicine might cause skin allergies.
Negation
To say you are NOT allergic, use 不 (bù). Example: 我对任何东西都不过敏 (Wǒ duì rènhé dōngxī dōu bù guòmǐn) - I am not allergic to anything.

In more advanced usage, 过敏 can appear in the 'resultative' sense. For example, '吃过敏了' (chī guòmǐn le) implies that after eating something, an allergic reaction occurred. This is a shorthand often used in casual conversation to link the action of consumption directly to the consequence of the allergy.

In the real world, you will hear 过敏 in four primary environments: restaurants, pharmacies/hospitals, beauty salons, and social gatherings. Each context has its own nuances and related vocabulary.

1. The Restaurant (餐厅)
Waiters might ask, '有什么忌口的吗?' (Yǒu shénme jìkǒu de ma? - Is there anything you avoid/are allergic to?). You would respond with your specific guòmǐn. In high-end hotels, menus often have a footnote: '如果您对某些食物过敏,请告知我们的员工' (If you are allergic to certain foods, please inform our staff).

In mainland China, 'Peanut Oil' (huāshēng yóu) is extremely common for frying. If you have a severe peanut allergy, you must emphasize this repeatedly using 过敏, as the concept of cross-contamination is sometimes less strictly managed in smaller local eateries.

服务员,我对芒果过敏,这个沙拉里有芒果吗?(Fúwùyuán, wǒ duì mángguǒ guòmǐn, zhège shālā lǐ yǒu mángguǒ ma?)

Translation: Waiter, I am allergic to mango; are there mangoes in this salad?
2. The Hospital or Pharmacy (医院/药店)
Before a 'píshì' (skin test) for penicillin, the nurse will ask about your history. You might hear '过敏体质' (guòmǐn tǐzhì), which refers to an 'allergic constitution'—meaning a person who is prone to various allergies.

During the spring (chūntiān) and autumn (qiūtiān), the news often reports on the '过敏指数' (guòmǐn zhǐshù - allergy index), helping citizens prepare for high pollen counts. You'll hear people on the subway complaining about their '花粉过敏' (huāfěn guòmǐn - pollen allergy) while wearing masks.

她对护肤品很挑剔,因为她的皮肤很容易过敏。(Tā duì hùfūpǐn hěn tiāotì, yīnwèi tā de pífū hěn róngyì guòmǐn.)

Translation: She is very picky about skincare products because her skin is easily prone to allergies.

Lastly, in the beauty industry, '过敏测试' (guòmǐn cèshì - allergy test) is a standard phrase used before applying hair dye or new facial treatments. Professionals will advise you to apply a small amount behind the ear to see if you guòmǐn.

Learning how to use 过敏 correctly involves avoiding a few common pitfalls that English speakers often fall into due to direct translation.

Mistake 1: Using 'Have' instead of 'To'
In English, we say 'I have an allergy.' Beginners often say *我有过敏 (Wǒ yǒu guòmǐn). While not completely unintelligible, it sounds very unnatural. The correct way is 我对...过敏. Use the preposition to link the person to the allergen.

Another frequent error is confusing 过敏 (guòmǐn) with 敏感 (mǐngǎn). Although they share the character , they are used differently. Guòmǐn is a medical or physical reaction. Mǐngǎn usually refers to being 'sensitive' in an emotional, political, or sensory way (e.g., sensitive skin is mǐngǎn pífū, but a skin allergy is pífū guòmǐn).

❌ 我有过敏花粉。
✅ 我对花粉过敏

A third mistake is failing to distinguish between the state of being allergic and an allergic reaction. If you are currently experiencing symptoms, you should add the particle 了 (le) to indicate a change in state: '我过敏了' (I've developed an allergic reaction). If you are just stating a general fact about your biology, don't use le: '我对虾过敏' (I am allergic to shrimp).

Mistake 2: Confusing with 'Cold' (感冒)
Because hay fever symptoms (sneezing, runny nose) look like a cold, some learners use gǎnmào (cold) when they mean guòmǐn. If the symptoms are seasonal or triggered by dust/pets, always use 过敏 to ensure you receive the right medicine (antihistamines vs. cold medicine).

❌ 这不是感冒,是对猫过敏

Translation: This isn't a cold; it's an allergy to cats.

Lastly, be careful with '过敏' as an adjective. You can say '过敏性鼻炎' (allergic rhinitis), where it acts as a modifier. However, you cannot simply say '我是过敏的' to mean 'I am allergic.' Stick to the 'Subject + 对 + X + 过敏' formula for 99% of daily situations.

To speak Chinese naturally, you need to know when to use 过敏 and when an alternative word is more appropriate. Here is a breakdown of similar terms.

过敏 (guòmǐn) vs. 敏感 (mǐngǎn)
Guòmǐn is an 'allergy' (physiological rejection). Mǐngǎn is 'sensitivity.' You have mǐngǎn pífū (sensitive skin) that might easily guòmǐn (become allergic/react) to a new cream. Mǐngǎn is also used for 'sensitive topics' (敏感话题).

If you want to describe the *reaction* specifically, you might use 反应 (fǎnyìng). While guòmǐn is the condition, fǎnyìng is the physical response. '他有严重的过敏反应' (He has a severe allergic reaction).

虽然他的皮肤很敏感,但他对这种肥皂不过敏。(Suīrán tā de pífū hěn mǐngǎn, dàn tā duì zhèzhǒng féizào bù guòmǐn.)

Translation: Although his skin is sensitive, he is not allergic to this soap.
忌口 (jìkǒu)
This is a very 'Chinese' term. It literally means 'to avoid certain foods.' It is broader than guòmǐn. It includes allergies, but also religious restrictions (like not eating pork) or health choices (like avoiding spicy food when you have a sore throat). At a restaurant, saying '我有忌口' is a polite way to start the conversation about what you can't eat.

Another related term is 排斥 (páichì), which means 'to reject' or 'to be repelled by.' This is often used for organ transplants (organ rejection) or socially (being excluded), but rarely for food allergies. However, it helps to understand the concept of the body 'rejecting' something.

如果你不知道自己是否过敏,可以先做个测试。(Rúguǒ nǐ bù zhīdào zìjǐ shìfǒu guòmǐn, kěyǐ xiān zuò gè cèshì.)

Translation: If you don't know if you are allergic, you can do a test first.
不适 (bùshì)
Meaning 'discomfort' or 'malaise.' If a reaction isn't a full allergy but just makes you feel unwell (like lactose intolerance, which is often called rǔtáng bùnài but sometimes generalized as bùshì), this is a useful, milder word.

How Formal Is It?

豆知識

In ancient Chinese medicine, allergies were often classified under 'Wind' (风) pathologies, as they appeared suddenly and changed quickly, like the wind.

発音ガイド

UK /ɡwɔː mɪn/

間違えやすい

过敏 vs 敏感

Both share the character '敏' (sensitivity).

过敏 is a medical allergy (rejection). 敏感 is a general sensitivity (emotional or physical). You can have sensitive skin (敏感皮肤) without being allergic (过敏) to a specific product.

她很敏感,容易哭。(She is very sensitive and cries easily.)

过敏 vs 感冒

Hay fever (allergy) feels like a cold.

感冒 is an infection with a virus. 过敏 is an immune system error. If you sneeze every April, it's 过敏, not 感冒.

我感冒了,发烧了。(I have a cold and a fever.)

过敏 vs 中毒

Severe allergies can feel like poisoning.

中毒 is being poisoned by a toxic substance. 过敏 is a reaction to a safe substance. Food poisoning is '食物中毒'.

Very High (Essential vocabulary)

よくある間違い
  • 我有过敏 我对...过敏

    In Chinese, you don't 'have' an allergy as a possession. You 'are allergic towards' something.

  • 我对花生很敏感 我对花生过敏

    Sensitive (敏感) is not the same as allergic (过敏). Peanuts cause an allergy, not just sensitivity.

  • 我过敏花生 我对花生过敏

    You cannot omit the preposition '对'. The allergen must be linked by '对'.

  • 他有过敏性 他是过敏体质

    '-性' is a suffix for adjectives. To say someone is prone to allergies, use '过敏体质'.

  • 我感冒花粉 我对花粉过敏

    Don't use '感冒' (cold) for allergies, even if the symptoms are similar.

ヒント

The 'Duì' Rule

Always pair '过敏' with '对'. Think of it as 'Towards X, I am allergic.' This is the golden rule of using this word correctly.

Be Specific

In China, simply saying 'I have an allergy' might not be enough. Always name the allergen: '我对花生过敏' (I am allergic to peanuts).

Learn the Symptoms

Knowing words like '痒' (yǎng - itchy) and '红' (hóng - red) helps you describe your allergy to a doctor much better.

Dining Out

If your allergy is life-threatening, write it down on a card in Chinese to show the chef. It's much safer than just speaking.

Drug Allergies

When visiting a Chinese hospital, '青霉素' (qīngméisù - penicillin) is the most common drug allergy discussed. Be ready to mention it.

Tone Accuracy

Make sure 'guò' (4th tone) is sharp and falling, and 'mǐn' (3rd tone) dips low. This distinguishes it from 'guómín' (citizen).

Skincare

Look for '低敏' (dī mǐn) or '无添加' (wú tiānjiā) on products if you have sensitive or allergic skin.

Humor

Use '过敏' to jokingly describe things you hate, like '我对加班过敏' (I'm allergic to overtime).

Catching the Suffix

In news reports, listen for '-性' (xìng) after '过敏' to hear technical terms like '过敏性哮喘'.

Character Logic

Remembering that '过' means 'excessive' helps you understand why it's used for an over-reaction of the body.

暗記しよう

記憶術

Imagine someone who is 'Over' (过)ly 'Sensitive' (敏). Their body reacts too much.

視覚的連想

Visualize a person sneezing so hard they 'pass' (过) across a room because they are so 'sensitive' (敏).

Word Web

过敏 对...过敏 花粉 花生 海鲜 医生 打喷嚏 发痒

チャレンジ

Try to list three things you are allergic to (or pretend to be) using the '我对...过敏' structure every morning for a week.

語源

The term '过敏' is a modern compound. '过' (guò) dates back to ancient Chinese meaning to pass or exceed. '敏' (mǐn) originally depicted a person wearing a complex headdress, implying quickness or cleverness.

元の意味: Excessive sensitivity.

Sino-Tibetan (Mandarin)

文化的な背景

Always take someone's claim of '过敏' seriously in China, even if they use it casually. It is better to over-prepare than to cause a medical emergency.

Westerners are often much more vocal about allergies in restaurants; in China, you may need to be more persistent to ensure the kitchen understands cross-contamination.

Medical dramas like 'The Hospital' (白色巨塔) often feature allergy cases. Health segments on CCTV-10 frequently discuss '过敏性疾病'. Social media trends during spring often focus on '花粉过敏' survival tips.

よくある質問

10 問

You say '我对花生过敏' (Wǒ duì huāshēng guòmǐn). Remember to use '对' (duì) and not '有' (yǒu).

It can be both. As a verb/adjective: '我过敏' (I am allergic). As a noun: '他的过敏很严重' (His allergy is severe).

过敏 is for medical allergies (like to peanuts). 敏感 is for general sensitivity (like sensitive skin or being emotionally sensitive).

Say: '我对花生过敏,请问这道菜里有花生吗?' (Wǒ duì huāshēng guòmǐn, qǐngwèn zhè dào cài lǐ yǒu huāshēng ma?)

Yes! '我对这种药过敏' (I am allergic to this medicine) is very common and important.

Common symptoms include 打喷嚏 (dǎ pèntì - sneeze), 发痒 (fāyǎng - itch), and 红肿 (hóngzhǒng - red and swollen).

The medical term is '过敏性鼻炎' (guòmǐnxìng bíyán), but most people just say '花粉过敏' (huāfěn guòmǐn - pollen allergy).

Yes, you can say '我对这种音乐过敏' to humorously say you really dislike a certain kind of music.

You say '抗过敏药' (kàng guòmǐn yào) or '过敏药' (guòmǐn yào).

Only if you are describing a reaction that just happened. '我过敏了' (I just had an allergic reaction). To state a general fact, don't use '了'.
