설명 禁食 in your Level:

At the A1 level, you only need to know that '禁食' (jìn shí) means 'to fast' or 'not to eat' for a specific reason. Think of it as a formal way to say 'no food.' You might see this word in a hospital or if a doctor is talking to you. Even though you are a beginner, knowing this word is useful for emergencies or health check-ups. It is made of '禁' (banned) and '食' (food). If you see a sign that says '禁食' in a hospital, it means 'Do not eat.' You don't need to use it in complex sentences yet. Just remember: 禁食 = No eating (for a medical or special reason). It is different from '我不饿' (I am not hungry) because 禁食 is usually something you *must* do, not just how you feel. For example, if you have a doctor's appointment at 8 AM, the doctor might tell you: '不要吃饭' (Don't eat) or use the formal word '禁食'.

At the A2 level, you should understand that '禁食' (jìn shí) is a verb used in medical and health contexts. You should be able to understand simple instructions like '手术前需要禁食十二小时' (You need to fast for twelve hours before surgery). You should also begin to distinguish it from '节食' (jié shí), which means 'to go on a diet.' While '节食' is about eating less to look good, '禁食' is about eating *nothing* for a specific medical or religious period. You can use it with time words like '三天' (three days) or '从现在开始' (from now on). At this level, you might also hear it in discussions about health trends like 'intermittent fasting.' It is a formal word, so using it correctly makes you sound more advanced than just saying '不吃饭.'

At the B1 level, you can use '禁食' (jìn shí) to discuss health, lifestyle, and traditions. You should be comfortable using it in sentences that explain 'why' and 'for how long.' For example, '为了身体健康，他决定每周禁食一天' (For his health, he decided to fast one day a week). You should also recognize it in compound terms like '禁食期间' (during the fasting period) and '禁食水' (fasting from food and water). At this level, you are expected to understand its use in religious contexts, such as describing Ramadan or Lent. You should also be able to explain the difference between '禁食' and '绝食' (hunger strike), knowing that the latter is for protest. You can start using '禁食' in your writing about healthy habits or cultural experiences.

At the B2 level, you should have a nuanced understanding of '禁食' (jìn shí) and its place in formal and scientific Chinese. You will encounter this word in news reports, medical journals, and academic discussions about metabolism. You should be able to discuss the physiological effects of fasting, using phrases like '禁食状态下的代谢' (metabolism in a fasting state). At this level, you should also be aware of the cultural history of fasting in China, including its links to traditional medicine and philosophy. You can use '禁食' to debate the pros and cons of modern diet trends. Your ability to use the word in the passive voice or as part of complex grammatical structures (e.g., '被要求禁食') should be well-developed. You should also be able to distinguish between '禁食' and more literary terms like '辟谷' or '斋戒' depending on the audience.

At the C1 level, '禁食' (jìn shí) is a tool for precise communication in professional and literary settings. You should understand its metaphorical uses, though they are rare, and its role in historical texts. You should be able to read complex medical instructions or scientific papers where '禁食' is used to define control groups in experiments. You should also be able to discuss the ethical implications of fasting in different contexts, such as forced fasting in medical care or the voluntary fasting of religious ascetics. Your vocabulary should include synonyms like '断食' (duàn shí) and you should know when to choose one over the other for stylistic reasons. At this level, you can use '禁食' to write sophisticated essays on health policy, religious freedom, or human physiology.

You can appreciate the subtle differences in tone between '禁食', '断食', '辟谷', and '斋戒' in classical and modern literature. You can use the term in high-level medical or philosophical discourse without hesitation. Whether you are translating a medical protocol, discussing the history of religious asceticism, or analyzing the latest metabolic research, you use '禁食' with perfect precision and register. You are also aware of regional variations in how the term might be used across the Sinosphere and can adapt your language accordingly. At this level, the word is not just a vocabulary item but a concept you can manipulate to express complex ideas about the human condition and self-discipline.

禁食 30초 만에

禁食 (jìn shí) means 'to fast' and is a formal term used in medical, religious, and health contexts.
It is different from 节食 (dieting) and 绝食 (hunger strike) because it implies a regulated, purposeful abstinence.
Commonly used in hospitals before surgery or blood tests with the instruction '禁食禁水' (no food or water).
Also refers to modern 'intermittent fasting' (间歇性禁食) popular in fitness and wellness communities.

The Chinese term 禁食 (jìn shí) is a formal and clinical verb that translates directly to "to fast" or "abstinence from food." Composed of the character 禁 (jìn), meaning to prohibit, forbid, or restrict, and 食 (shí), meaning food or to eat, the word literally signifies a state where eating is prohibited. Unlike the casual phrase for skipping a meal, 禁食 carries a weight of authority, medical necessity, or religious discipline. It is most commonly encountered in three distinct spheres: the medical environment, religious practices, and modern health/wellness trends.

Medical Context: In a hospital setting, 禁食 is a standard instruction. Doctors or nurses will use this term to inform a patient that they must not consume any food before a surgery, a blood test, or a specific medical procedure like an endoscopy. It is often paired with 'water' in the phrase '禁食水' (jìn shí shuǐ), meaning 'nothing by mouth' (NPO). This ensures that the patient's stomach is empty, preventing complications such as aspiration during anesthesia.
Religious and Ritual Context: When discussing religious observances like Ramadan in Islam, Lent in Christianity, or specific fasts in Buddhism and Taoism, 禁食 is the appropriate formal term. It describes the intentional spiritual practice of abstaining from food to achieve mental clarity, purification, or devotion. While '斋戒' (zhāijiè) is often used specifically for religious fasting, 禁食 serves as the general descriptive verb for the act itself.
Health and Wellness Context: In the modern era of biohacking and fitness, 'intermittent fasting' has become a popular topic. In Chinese, this is translated as '间歇性禁食' (jiànxiēxìng jìnshí). Here, the word is used to describe a structured eating pattern where one cycles between periods of eating and fasting for metabolic benefits, weight loss, or longevity. It sounds much more scientific and intentional than simply saying 'not eating' (不吃饭).

医生叮嘱病人，手术前必须禁食十二小时。(The doctor instructed the patient that they must fast for twelve hours before the surgery.)

Historically, the concept of 禁食 is deeply rooted in ancient Chinese culture, though the modern term has evolved. In ancient times, the practice of '辟谷' (bìgǔ), which involved avoiding the five grains, was a Daoist method for achieving immortality. While 禁食 is the modern standard, understanding its roots in self-discipline and bodily control helps learners appreciate why it is used in formal Chinese today. It isn't just about hunger; it's about a controlled, often externally mandated or internally disciplined, cessation of caloric intake. Whether it is for a blood test or a religious holiday, 禁食 implies a specific duration and a specific purpose.

许多运动员通过短时间的禁食来提高身体的代谢效率。(Many athletes use short-term fasting to improve their body's metabolic efficiency.)

在某些宗教节日里，信徒们会通过禁食来表达虔诚。(During certain religious festivals, believers will express their devotion through fasting.)

Using 禁食 (jìn shí) correctly requires an understanding of its grammatical role as a verb, though it often functions as a noun in compound phrases. In most sentences, it follows a subject (the person fasting) and is frequently preceded by an auxiliary verb like '需要' (need to), '必须' (must), or '要求' (require). Because fasting is usually tied to a specific timeframe, you will almost always see it accompanied by time duration markers.

The 'Duration' Pattern: When you want to say 'fast for [X] hours/days', you place the duration after the verb. Structure: [Subject] + 禁食 + [Duration]. For example, '他禁食了三天' (He fasted for three days). If the fasting is still ongoing, you might add the particle '了' or '已经' (already).
The 'Purpose' Pattern: To explain why someone is fasting, you typically use '为了' (for/in order to) at the beginning of the sentence or before the verb. Structure: 为了 [Purpose], [Subject] + 禁食. For example, '为了体检，我正在禁食' (For the physical exam, I am currently fasting).
The 'Medical Instruction' Pattern: In medical Chinese, you will see '禁食' used as a command. Doctors will say '禁食禁水' (No food, no water). This is a four-character set phrase used in clinical settings. You might also see '术前禁食' (pre-operative fasting) as a compound noun.

如果你打算做胃镜检查，你必须从昨晚开始禁食。(If you plan to have a gastroscopy, you must start fasting from last night.)

Another important aspect is the negative form. To say someone is 'not fasting', you use '没有禁食' or '不禁食'. However, because 禁食 is usually a specific action, you are more likely to encounter it in the affirmative or as a requirement. In academic or scientific writing, it can also appear as a prefix for other terms, such as '禁食状态' (fasting state) or '禁食疗法' (fasting therapy). This versatility makes it a key term for anyone navigating health-related discussions in Chinese.

在禁食期间，他只喝纯净水。(During the fasting period, he only drinks pure water.)

医生建议糖尿病患者在某些情况下进行短时间的禁食。(Doctors suggest that diabetic patients perform short-term fasting in certain situations.)

In a Chinese-speaking environment, you won't hear 禁食 (jìn shí) at a dinner party or a casual restaurant, but you will hear it in very specific, high-stakes locations. Knowing where to expect it can help you prepare for the formal tone it carries.

Hospitals and Clinics (医院和诊所): This is the primary location. If you are getting a physical exam (体检), the receptionist will likely say: '请注意，明天早上要禁食' (Please note, you need to fast tomorrow morning). You will also see it on posters in the pre-op waiting room. Nurses use it as a standard instruction when preparing patients for any imaging that requires a clear digestive tract.
Fitness Centers and Wellness Apps (健身房和健康软件): With the rise of the '16:8 diet' and other fasting protocols in China (like in the West), apps like Keep or Mintal often use '禁食' to track your progress. You'll hear fitness influencers on platforms like Bilibili or Xiaohongshu discussing '禁食对减脂的影响' (the impact of fasting on fat loss).
News and Documentaries (新闻和纪录片): When news reports cover international religious events, such as the start of Ramadan (斋月), they will describe the practice as 禁食. Similarly, documentaries about animal behavior might use it to describe periods when certain animals (like hibernating bears or migrating birds) do not eat.

护士在床头贴了一张“禁食”的标签。(The nurse put a "Fasting" label at the head of the bed.)

In academic lectures regarding biology or medicine, the term is ubiquitous. It is used to define baseline states in metabolic research. For example, a researcher might discuss the '禁食血糖' (fasting blood sugar) levels of a study group. This highlights the word's role as a technical term that bridges the gap between everyday medical instructions and high-level scientific discourse. In summary, if the context involves health, science, or ritual, 禁食 is the word you will encounter.

在关于长寿的讲座中，教授提到了定期禁食的好处。(In the lecture about longevity, the professor mentioned the benefits of regular fasting.)

这款健康应用可以帮助你记录每日的禁食时间。(This health app can help you record your daily fasting time.)

While 禁食 (jìn shí) seems straightforward, learners often confuse it with other terms related to not eating. These nuances are critical for sounding natural and avoiding misunderstandings in professional or clinical settings.

Confusing 禁食 with 节食 (jié shí): This is the most common error. 节食 (jié shí) means 'to go on a diet' or 'to restrict food intake' for weight loss. It implies eating less or avoiding certain foods, but not stopping entirely. 禁食 (jìn shí) means a total stop. If you tell a doctor you are '节食', they will think you are just watching your calories. If you tell them you are '禁食', they will understand you have eaten absolutely nothing.
Confusing 禁食 with 绝食 (jué shí): 绝食 (jué shí) specifically refers to a 'hunger strike.' It is a political or protest-related action where someone refuses to eat to make a point. Using 绝食 in a hospital setting would sound very dramatic and inappropriate. 禁食 is the neutral, medical term; 绝食 is the emotionally and politically charged term.
Misusing the 'Forbidden' Aspect: Because '禁' means 'prohibit', some learners think '禁食' means 'forbidden foods' (like a food allergy). This is incorrect. If you want to say 'I can't eat peanuts', you should say '我对花生过敏' (I am allergic to peanuts) or '我不吃花生'. 禁食 always refers to the *act* of fasting, not the specific items that are forbidden.

错误：为了减肥，我每天都绝食。(Wrong: For weight loss, I go on a hunger strike every day.)
正确：为了减肥，我尝试间歇性禁食。(Correct: For weight loss, I try intermittent fasting.)

Another mistake involves the duration. Learners sometimes use '禁食' to describe just being busy and missing a meal. For example, '我很忙，所以我禁食了午餐' (I was busy, so I fasted lunch). This sounds very strange. In this case, you should just say '我没吃午餐' (I didn't eat lunch). 禁食 implies a deliberate or required period of abstinence, not just being too busy to eat. Finally, remember that 禁食 is a formal word. In casual conversation with friends, using it might make you sound like you are giving a medical report.

医生问：“你禁食了吗？”如果你只吃了一点饼干，你必须回答“没有”。(The doctor asks: "Have you fasted?" If you ate even a small biscuit, you must answer "No".)

请不要把“禁食”和“饥饿”混为一谈，前者是主动的选择或医疗要求。(Please do not confuse "fasting" with "hunger"; the former is a voluntary choice or medical requirement.)

To truly master 禁食 (jìn shí), you must understand where it sits in the hierarchy of Chinese words for 'not eating.' There are several synonyms and related terms that overlap in meaning but differ significantly in register and context.

禁食 (jìn shí) vs. 斋戒 (zhāi jiè): 禁食 is the general, modern, and medical term. 斋戒 is specifically religious. 斋 (zhāi) refers to vegetarian food or purification, and 戒 (jiè) refers to precepts or self-control. Use 斋戒 when discussing monks, religious holidays, or spiritual purification. You wouldn't use 斋戒 for a pre-surgery fast.
禁食 (jìn shí) vs. 节食 (jié shí): As mentioned before, 节食 is 'dieting.' It implies limitation, not total abstinence. If you are 'cutting carbs' or 'eating less to lose weight,' you are 节食. If you are eating zero calories for 24 hours, you are 禁食.
禁食 (jìn shí) vs. 辟谷 (bì gǔ): 辟谷 is a traditional Daoist term. It specifically refers to the practice of 'avoiding grains' to achieve spiritual transcendence. While it is a type of fasting, it is a very specific cultural and historical term. You might hear it in a wuxia novel or a traditional health retreat, but never in a modern hospital.
禁食 (jìn shí) vs. 绝食 (jué shí): 绝食 is a 'hunger strike.' It is often used in the context of protest or extreme emotional distress (e.g., '绝食抗议' - hunger strike protest). It implies a refusal to eat until a demand is met, whereas 禁食 is usually for health or ritual reasons.

虽然禁食和斋戒都涉及不吃东西，但前者的动机通常是生理的，而后者是精神的。(Although fasting and religious abstinence both involve not eating, the motivation for the former is usually physiological, while the latter is spiritual.)

In summary, choose 禁食 for medical and general health contexts, 斋戒 for religious rituals, 节食 for dieting/weight loss, and 绝食 for protests. Understanding these distinctions will prevent you from accidentally saying you are on a 'hunger strike' when you're actually just preparing for a blood test! By using the right word, you demonstrate a high level of cultural and linguistic awareness.

在翻译“Intermittent Fasting”时，我们统一使用“间歇性禁食”。(When translating "Intermittent Fasting," we consistently use "jiànxiēxìng jìnshí".)

道教的“辟谷”被认为是一种高级的禁食形式。(Daoist "Bigu" is considered an advanced form of fasting.)

How Formal Is It?

The character '禁' actually contains the radical for 'forest' (林) and 'altar/sign' (示). This suggests its original meaning was a 'forbidden forest' where people were not allowed to enter or hunt, which evolved into the general concept of prohibition.

자주 하는 실수

Using 禁食 to mean 'I'm not hungry'. → 我不饿 (Wǒ bù è).
禁食 is a formal action of abstaining from food, not a feeling of fullness.
Saying '我禁食花生' for a peanut allergy. → 我对花生过敏 (Wǒ duì huāshēng guòmǐn).
禁食 refers to the act of not eating anything, not avoiding a specific food item.
Using 绝食 for a medical fast. → 禁食 (jìnshí).
绝食 implies a hunger strike or protest, which is inappropriate for a hospital setting.
Confusing 禁食 with 节食 when talking about a diet. → 我正在节食 (Wǒ zhèngzài jiéshí).
If you are eating less but still eating, you are 节食 (dieting), not 禁食 (fasting).
Putting the duration before the verb: '我三小时禁食'. → 我禁食了三小时 (Wǒ jìnshí le sān xiǎoshí).
In Chinese, the duration of an action usually follows the verb.

팁

Placement of Duration

Always put the amount of time *after* 禁食. Say '禁食八小时' (fast 8 hours), not '八小时禁食' unless it's a noun phrase like '八小时禁食法'.

Medical Accuracy

If a doctor tells you to fast, clarify if water is okay. Say '可以喝水吗？' (Kěyǐ hē shuǐ ma?) to distinguish between 禁食 and 禁食禁水.

Religious Nuance

When talking to religious friends, using '斋戒' (zhāijiè) shows more cultural knowledge, but '禁食' is always correct and understood.

Fitness Apps

If you use Chinese fitness apps, look for '禁食' to find fasting timers and weight loss protocols.

Tone Clarity

Don't rush the 'jìn' (4th tone). A clear falling tone helps distinguish it from other 'jin' sounds like 'jīn' (gold) or 'jǐn' (tight).

Character Structure

The character '禁' has two 'trees' (木) on top. Think of a forbidden forest to remember how to write it.

Avoid Drama

Don't use '绝食' (juéshí) unless you are actually on a hunger strike. For health or surgery, stick to '禁食'.

Research Terms

In a research paper, use '禁食状态' (fasting state) to describe the physiological condition of your subjects.

Don't Confuse with Idioms

While '禁食' is formal, idioms like '废寝忘食' (forgetting to eat and sleep) are used to praise hard work, not to describe actual fasting.

IF Translation

Intermittent Fasting is always '间歇性禁食'. Memorize this as a single unit if you are into fitness.

암기하기

기억법

Think of 'Jin' as 'Banned' (like a 'Jin-ni' being trapped in a bottle) and 'Shi' as 'Food' (like 'She' is eating). So, 'Banned Food' = Fasting.

시각적 연상

Imagine a hospital sign with a picture of a burger and a big red 'X' over it. That 'X' is the '禁' (Jin) part.

Word Web

禁食 (Fast) 禁水 (No water) 禁区 (Forbidden zone) 禁止 (Forbid) 食品 (Food) 饮食 (Diet) 食堂 (Canteen) 食谱 (Recipe)

챌린지

Try to use '禁食' in three different contexts today: medical, religious, and fitness. For example, explain 'intermittent fasting' to a friend using the Chinese term.

어원

The term '禁食' is a combination of two ancient characters. '禁' (jìn) originally referred to a taboo or a divine restriction, often related to sacred forests or altars. '食' (shí) is a pictograph of a food container with a lid, representing the act of eating or the food itself. Together, they form a compound that has been used for centuries to describe the formal prohibition of food.

원래 의미: A ritualistic or legal prohibition against eating certain things or eating at certain times.

Sino-Tibetan (Chinese)

문화적 맥락

When discussing '禁食' in a religious context, be respectful as it is a sacred practice. In medical contexts, ensure the patient understands if '禁水' (no water) is also required.

In English-speaking countries, fasting is often associated with the '5:2 diet' or 'Water fasting.' The Chinese use '禁食' for all these, though '断食' is also common in wellness circles.

자주 묻는 질문

10 질문

Not necessarily. In a general context, 禁食 refers only to food. However, in a medical context, doctors often use the phrase '禁食禁水' (no food, no water). If the doctor only says '禁食', it is always safest to ask '可以喝水吗？' (Can I drink water?) to be sure.

Yes, 'intermittent fasting' is translated as '间歇性禁食' (jiànxiēxìng jìnshí). This is the standard term used in fitness apps, health blogs, and medical research in China.

节食 (jiéshí) means 'to go on a diet' or 'restricting your food intake' (e.g., eating smaller portions). 禁食 (jìnshí) means total abstinence from food for a specific period. If you are just trying to lose weight by eating less, use 节食.

While technically you are fasting, the correct and more common word for a hunger strike is 绝食 (juéshí). Using 禁食 would sound too clinical or like a health choice, whereas 绝食 conveys the protest element.

You can say: '我已经禁食十六个小时了' (Wǒ yǐjīng jìnshí shíliù gè xiǎoshí le). The '了' at the end indicates the state is still ongoing or just completed.

It can be both. As a verb: '他正在禁食' (He is fasting). As a noun: '禁食对他有好处' (Fasting is good for him) or in compounds like '禁食期' (fasting period).

It means you are not allowed to eat. Usually, this sign is placed at the bed of a patient who is about to have surgery or a test. If you are that patient, do not consume anything.

Yes, it is the general term for fasting in any religion. However, specifically for Islamic Ramadan or Buddhist practices, the term 斋戒 (zhāijiè) is also very common and more respectful of the ritual aspect.

Yes, in biology or veterinary science, you might hear about animals fasting during hibernation or illness. For example, '这只猫在禁食' (This cat is fasting/not eating).

No. For allergies, use '对...过敏' (allergic to...). 禁食 refers to the period of not eating, not the avoidance of a specific ingredient.
