肿胀 em 30 segundos
- <strong>肿胀 (zhǒng zhàng)</strong> means swollen or to swell.
- Used for body parts that become larger and puffy.
- Commonly associated with injuries, bites, or medical conditions.
- A practical term for describing physical discomfort.
The word 肿胀 (zhǒng zhàng) is used to describe a part of your body that has become bigger and puffy. Imagine you accidentally hit your knee; after a little while, it might start to look and feel swollen. That's 肿胀. It's a very common word to describe physical discomfort or injury. You'll hear it when people talk about getting hurt, like spraining an ankle, or when they have a medical condition that causes their body parts to puff up. For example, if someone has a fever, their hands might feel a bit swollen. Or if you get a mosquito bite, the area around it often becomes 肿胀. It's not just about injuries; it can also be a symptom of illness. Doctors might ask if you have any 肿胀 in your legs or feet if they suspect a health problem. It’s a direct way to communicate that a part of the body is not its normal size and shape due to some underlying issue.
- Usage Contexts
- Injuries: Sprains, bruises, cuts, bumps.
- Medical Conditions: Allergic reactions, infections, fluid retention, arthritis.
- Insect Bites: Mosquito bites, bee stings.
- Post-Surgery: Swelling is common after operations.

In Chinese, 肿胀 is a very straightforward term. It directly conveys the physical state of being swollen. You won't usually find it used in abstract or metaphorical ways, unlike some other words. Its primary function is to describe a physical symptom that can be observed and felt.
Using 肿胀 (zhǒng zhàng) in sentences is quite direct. It often follows the body part that is swollen, or it can be used with verbs indicating the onset or presence of swelling. Here are some common sentence structures and examples:
- Structure 1: [Body Part] + 肿胀
- This is the most common way to say a specific body part is swollen.
- Example: 他的手指肿胀了。
- Translation: His finger is swollen.
- Example: 眼睛肿胀会影响视力。
- Translation: Swollen eyes will affect vision.
- Structure 2: [Verb] + 肿胀
- Used to describe the action or state of swelling.
- Example: 伤口周围开始肿胀。
- Translation: The area around the wound started to swell.
- Example: 长期站立会导致腿部肿胀。
- Translation: Standing for a long time can cause leg swelling.
- Structure 3: [Condition] + 引起/导致 + 肿胀
- Explaining the cause of swelling.
- Example: 过敏反应引起了面部肿胀。
- Translation: The allergic reaction caused facial swelling.
- Example: 他的脚踝扭伤导致了严重的肿胀。
- Translation: His ankle sprain led to severe swelling.
- Structure 4: 感觉/感到 + 肿胀
- Describing the sensation of swelling.
- Example: 我感到我的手有点肿胀。
- Translation: I feel my hand is a bit swollen.
医生检查了我的膝盖肿胀情况。
Remember that 肿胀 is primarily used for physical swelling. While it can be a symptom of internal issues, the word itself describes the external, visible or palpable change in size and texture.
You'll frequently encounter 肿胀 (zhǒng zhàng) in everyday conversations related to health, injuries, and medical consultations. It’s a word that doctors, nurses, and patients use quite often.
- Medical Settings
- In a doctor's office: A doctor might ask, “你的脚有没有肿胀？” (Nǐ de jiǎo yǒu méiyǒu zhǒng zhàng? - Do your feet have any swelling?) Or, after an examination, they might say, “你的膝盖有轻微的肿胀。” (Nǐ de xīgài yǒu qīngwēi de zhǒng zhàng. - Your knee has slight swelling.)
- In a pharmacy: When buying medication for an injury, the pharmacist might advise, “这个药可以帮助减轻肿胀。” (Zhège yào kěyǐ bāngzhù jiǎnqīng zhǒng zhàng. - This medicine can help reduce swelling.)
- In a hospital: Nurses often monitor patients for swelling, especially after surgery. They might record notes like “病人腹部出现肿胀。” (Bìngrén fùbù chūxiàn zhǒng zhàng. - The patient's abdomen shows swelling.)
- Conversations Among Friends and Family
- Talking about accidents: If someone falls, a friend might ask, “你的手肿胀了吗？” (Nǐ de shǒu zhǒng zhàng le ma? - Is your hand swollen?)
- Discussing health issues: Someone might mention, “我最近感觉我的脚踝有点肿胀。” (Wǒ zuìjìn gǎnjué wǒ de jiǎohuái yǒudiǎn zhǒng zhàng. - I've been feeling my ankle is a bit swollen lately.)
- News and Media
- Health articles: You might read headlines like “如何缓解运动后的肌肉肿胀？” (Rúhé huǎnjiě yùndòng hòu de jīròu zhǒng zhàng? - How to relieve muscle swelling after exercise?)
蚊子咬的地方肿胀起来了，好痒。
While 肿胀 (zhǒng zhàng) is a straightforward word, learners might make a few common mistakes, usually related to its usage or when to apply it.
- Mistake 1: Confusing with other types of discomfort
- Learners might use 肿胀 to describe general pain or soreness without actual swelling. For example, saying '我的头肿胀' (Wǒ de tóu zhǒng zhàng - My head is swollen) when they actually mean they have a headache.
- Correct Usage: 肿胀 specifically refers to an increase in size and puffiness. For a headache, you would say '头痛' (tóu tòng - headache).
- Mistake 2: Overusing it for minor irritations
- Sometimes, learners might use 肿胀 for very slight, temporary puffiness that isn't medically significant. While not strictly wrong, it might sound overly dramatic in certain contexts.
- Context: A very slight redness or puffiness from a minor scratch might not always be described as 肿胀 unless it's noticeable.
- Mistake 3: Incorrect placement in a sentence
- As seen in the 'How to Use It' section, 肿胀 usually follows the body part or is used with verbs indicating its presence or cause. Incorrect placement can make sentences sound unnatural.
- Incorrect Example: 肿胀的脚踝我不能走。
- Correct Example: 我的脚踝肿胀，不能走了。
- Mistake 4: Using it for internal feelings without physical manifestation
- 肿胀 is a physical symptom. It's not typically used to describe abstract feelings like emotional 'swelling' or a 'heavy' feeling in the chest unless there's a clear physical cause for it.
- Example: If someone feels overwhelmed, they wouldn't say '我心里肿胀' (Wǒ xīnlǐ zhǒng zhàng - My heart is swollen). They might use other expressions like '心事重重' (xīnshì zhòngzhòng - burdened by worries).
这个词只用来描述身体的物理性膨胀。
While 肿胀 (zhǒng zhàng) is the most common and direct word for 'swollen,' there are related terms and phrases that might be used in specific contexts or to describe nuances of swelling.
- 1. 浮肿 (fú zhǒng)
- Meaning: Edema, puffy, bloated. This term often refers to a more general or systemic swelling, especially due to fluid retention, and is common in medical contexts.
- Usage: You might hear about '脚部浮肿' (jiǎo bù fú zhǒng - foot edema) or '全身浮肿' (quánshēn fú zhǒng - generalized edema). It's often associated with conditions like kidney problems or heart failure.
- Difference from 肿胀: While 肿胀 can be used for localized swelling (like a sprained ankle), 浮肿 often implies a more widespread or persistent accumulation of fluid, sometimes due to an underlying disease.
- 2. 鼓胀 (gǔ zhàng)
- Meaning: To bulge, to swell up, distended. This word can sometimes overlap with 肿胀 but often implies a more pronounced outward expansion, sometimes due to pressure from within.
- Usage: It can be used for physical swelling, but also for things like balloons or tires that are inflated, or even a stomach that is distended after eating too much. Example: 气球鼓胀起来了 (Qìqiú gǔ zhàng qǐlái le - The balloon swelled up). For a body part, it might describe a very prominent swelling.
- Difference from 肿胀: 肿胀 is more general for swelling due to injury or inflammation. 鼓胀 can imply a more extreme outward puffiness, sometimes from internal pressure.
- 3. 膨胀 (péng zhàng)
- Meaning: To expand, to swell, to inflate. This is a broader term that can apply to physical objects, abstract concepts (like economy), or gases.
- Usage: It's used for inflation of tires (轮胎膨胀 - lúntāi péng zhàng), economic expansion (经济膨胀 - jīngjì péng zhàng), or even the expansion of the universe. For the body, it's less common for medical swelling and more for things like balloons or gas-filled organs.
- Difference from 肿胀: 膨胀 is much more general. While a swollen limb is a form of expansion, 肿胀 is the specific medical term for pathological swelling.
- 4. 疼痛 (téng tòng) / 痛 (tòng)
- Meaning: Pain / ache.
- Usage: Swelling (肿胀) is often accompanied by pain (疼痛). You might say, '我的脚踝肿胀而且很痛' (Wǒ de jiǎohuái zhǒng zhàng érqiě hěn tòng - My ankle is swollen and very painful).
- Difference: Pain is a sensation, while swelling is a physical change in size.
肿胀是身体的反应，浮肿常指水肿。
How Formal Is It?
Curiosidade
The character '肿' (zhǒng) is composed of the radical '月' (yuè, meaning flesh or moon, often used in body-related terms) and '中' (zhōng, meaning middle or center). This structure suggests a condition affecting the flesh in the middle or core of a body part. The character '胀' (zhàng) is composed of '月' (flesh) and '长' (cháng, meaning long or to grow), implying flesh growing or expanding.
Guia de pronúncia
- Pronouncing 'zh' as 'z' or 'j'.
- Incorrect tone for one or both syllables (e.g., pronouncing them as first or fourth tone).
- Not fully pronouncing the 'ng' sound at the end of the syllables.
Nível de dificuldade
At A2 level, reading simple sentences with <strong>肿胀</strong> is straightforward. Comprehending its meaning in context is generally easy, especially when paired with visuals or familiar body parts. Difficulty increases with more complex medical texts or abstract uses, which are beyond A2.
A2 learners can use <strong>肿胀</strong> in basic descriptive sentences about personal experiences or simple observations. Constructing complex sentences or using it in medical reports requires higher proficiency.
A2 learners can say 'My finger is swollen' or 'My foot is swollen.' Spontaneous and detailed descriptions of swelling, especially its causes and effects, are more typical of higher levels.
Recognizing <strong>肿胀</strong> in simple spoken sentences related to health or injuries is achievable for A2 learners. Understanding it in rapid, complex, or technical speech would be more challenging.

Frequentemente confundido com
发炎 means 'inflamed.' Swelling is often a symptom of inflammation, but inflammation itself is a broader process involving redness, heat, pain, and swelling. You can have inflammation without significant visible swelling, and swelling can sometimes occur without obvious inflammation (e.g., fluid retention).
疼痛 means 'pain.' Swelling often causes pain, and pain can sometimes lead to swelling (e.g., from guarding a sore limb), but they are distinct sensations. You can feel pain without swelling, and swelling can sometimes be painless.
红肿 specifically means 'red and swollen.' It's a more descriptive term than just 肿胀 because it includes the element of redness, which strongly suggests inflammation.
Fácil de confundir
Both <strong>肿胀</strong> and <strong>浮肿</strong> refer to swelling.
<strong>肿胀</strong> is a general term for swelling, often localized due to injury or inflammation (like a sprained ankle). <strong>浮肿</strong> specifically refers to edema, a more generalized swelling caused by fluid retention, often associated with underlying medical conditions like heart or kidney problems. While <strong>肿胀</strong> can be a symptom of <strong>浮肿</strong>, <strong>浮肿</strong> implies a specific type of swelling related to fluid.
我的脚踝<strong>肿胀</strong>了。(My ankle is swollen - typical injury). 我的腿部有<strong>浮肿</strong>。(My legs have edema/puffy swelling - often due to fluid retention).
Both words describe a state of becoming larger or puffier.
<strong>肿胀</strong> is the standard term for medical swelling due to injury or inflammation. <strong>鼓胀</strong> often implies a more pronounced outward bulging, sometimes due to internal pressure, and can be used for non-medical contexts like a balloon or a distended stomach. For body parts, <strong>肿胀</strong> is more common for typical injuries, while <strong>鼓胀</strong> might be used for extreme or unusual puffiness.
被虫子咬后，那个地方<strong>肿胀</strong>起来了。(The area swelled up after the insect bite - standard). 他的肚子吃得<strong>鼓胀</strong>。(His stomach is distended from eating - non-medical context).
Both words relate to an increase in size.
<strong>膨胀</strong> is a very general term for expansion, inflation, or growth. It's used for physical objects (tires, balloons), economic growth, or even abstract concepts. <strong>肿胀</strong> is specifically used for pathological swelling of body tissues, usually due to injury, inflammation, or fluid accumulation. You wouldn't typically say a body part is '膨胀' when it's swollen from a sprain.
经济在<strong>膨胀</strong>。(The economy is expanding.) 我的脚踝<strong>肿胀</strong>了。(My ankle is swollen.)
Swelling is a common symptom of inflammation.
<strong>发炎</strong> means 'inflamed,' describing the body's response to injury or infection, which includes redness, heat, pain, and swelling. <strong>肿胀</strong> specifically refers to the physical enlargement or puffiness caused by this inflammation or other factors like fluid retention. You can have inflammation without obvious swelling, and swelling can occur without clear inflammation.
这个伤口<strong>发炎</strong>了，又红又痛。(This wound is inflamed, red and painful.) 我的脚踝<strong>肿胀</strong>了，但没有发红。(My ankle is swollen, but not red.)
Swelling and pain often occur together.
<strong>疼痛</strong> means 'pain,' a sensation of discomfort. <strong>肿胀</strong> means 'swollen,' a physical change in size. While swelling often causes pain, and pain can sometimes lead to swelling, they are distinct. You can have pain without swelling (like a headache) or swelling without much pain (like mild edema).
我的脚踝<strong>肿胀</strong>而且很<strong>疼</strong>。(My ankle is swollen and very painful.) 我感到<strong>疼痛</strong>，但脚踝没有<strong>肿胀</strong>。(I feel pain, but my ankle is not swollen.)

被蚊子咬了一下，有点痒。
While a mosquito bite might cause slight swelling, unless it's noticeable, calling it <strong>肿胀</strong> might be an overstatement in very casual contexts. However, it's not strictly incorrect if there is visible puffiness.
Dicas
Mastering the 'Zh' Sound
The 'zh' sound in 肿胀 (zhǒng zhàng) is crucial. It's like the 'j' in 'jump' but made further back in the mouth with the tongue tip curled slightly upward. Practice saying 'zh' followed by 'ong' and 'ang' until it feels natural.
Body Part + 肿胀
The most common sentence structure is [Body Part] + 肿胀. For example, '脚踝肿胀' (jiǎohuái zhǒng zhàng - ankle swollen). This simple pattern is very useful for describing injuries.
Visual Association
Imagine a balloon (胀) filled with a thick, gooey substance (肿) that's making it puff up and look uncomfortable. This visual can help you remember the meaning of 肿胀.
Verb or Adjective?
Remember that 肿胀 can act as both a verb ('to swell') and an adjective ('swollen'). Pay attention to its position in the sentence to determine its grammatical function.
Health Focus
In Chinese culture, health is highly valued. Symptoms like 肿胀 are often discussed openly and linked to maintaining bodily balance, sometimes with references to traditional remedies.
Describe Your Own Experiences
Think about times you've experienced swelling and try to describe them in Chinese using 肿胀. This active recall will solidify your understanding and usage.
肿胀 vs. 浮肿
While both relate to swelling, 肿胀 is general, often injury-related. 浮肿 specifically means edema (fluid retention), often more widespread. Use 肿胀 for a sprained ankle, and 浮肿 for puffy legs due to fluid.
When to See a Doctor
If swelling is sudden, severe, widespread, or accompanied by other worrying symptoms like fever or difficulty breathing, seek medical advice promptly. Not all 肿胀 is minor.
Beyond Injuries
Remember that 肿胀 isn't just for injuries. It can describe swelling from allergies, insect bites, infections, or even chronic conditions. Broaden your understanding of its contexts.
Memorize
Mnemônico
Think of a 'Zhong' (zhǒng) sound like 'jungle' where things get overgrown and swollen, and 'zhang' (zhàng) like 'jangling' nerves that make a part of your body swell up in pain. So, 'Jungle jangling' makes you swollen!
Associação visual
Imagine a balloon (胀) that is getting bigger and bigger, and it's filled with a thick, gooey substance (肿). It looks very puffy and uncomfortable.
Word Web
Desafio
Try to describe three different scenarios where you or someone else might experience 肿胀. For example, a stubbed toe, an insect bite, or post-surgery swelling.
Origem da palavra
The word 肿胀 (zhǒng zhàng) is a compound word formed by two characters, each contributing to its meaning. '肿' (zhǒng) means 'swollen' or 'lump,' and '胀' (zhàng) means 'to swell' or 'to expand.' Together, they create a clear and direct description of the state of being swollen.
Significado original: '肿' (zhǒng) originally referred to a lump or bump, often from an injury. '胀' (zhàng) describes the process of becoming larger or distended, like a balloon filling with air.
Sino-TibetanContexto cultural
肿胀 is a neutral term describing a physical condition. However, when discussing it, be mindful of the person's comfort. Avoid making light of significant swelling, as it can be a source of pain and distress.

Perguntas frequentes
10 perguntas肿胀 (zhǒng zhàng) is a general term for swelling, often localized due to injury or inflammation (e.g., a sprained ankle). 浮肿 (fú zhǒng) specifically refers to edema, which is swelling caused by excess fluid retention, often more generalized and related to underlying health conditions like heart or kidney problems. So, while 肿胀 can describe any puffiness, 浮肿 points to a specific type of swelling related to fluid buildup.
Yes, while minor swelling from a bump or insect bite is usually not serious, sudden or severe swelling, especially if accompanied by pain, redness, heat, or if it affects breathing or is widespread, can be a sign of a serious medical condition like a blood clot, severe infection, or allergic reaction. It's always best to consult a doctor if you are concerned about swelling.
The most common way to say 'to reduce swelling' or 'to de-swell' is 消肿 (xiāo zhǒng). For example, you might say '这个药膏可以帮助消肿' (Zhège yào gāo kěyǐ bāngzhù xiāo zhǒng - This ointment can help reduce swelling).
Generally, 肿胀 is primarily used to describe the swelling of body parts. For other things that expand or inflate, like balloons, tires, or economic markets, other words like 膨胀 (péng zhàng) or 鼓胀 (gǔ zhàng) are more commonly used.
Facial 肿胀 can be caused by many things, including allergic reactions, insect bites, sinus infections, dental problems (like a toothache), lack of sleep, crying, or after certain medical procedures. If facial swelling is severe or sudden, it's important to seek medical attention.
No, 肿胀 is a physical term for bodily swelling. You cannot use it to describe abstract concepts like an 'inflated ego.' For that, you would use phrases like '自大' (zì dà - arrogant) or '骄傲' (jiāo'ào - proud, but can be negative if excessive).
肿胀 (zhǒng zhàng) simply means 'swollen.' 红肿 (hóng zhǒng) means 'red and swollen.' The addition of '红' (hóng - red) indicates that there is also redness, which is a strong sign of inflammation.
You would say '我的手指肿胀了' (Wǒ de shǒuzhǐ zhǒng zhàng le).
If your legs are 肿胀, it means they are swollen. This could be due to various reasons, such as standing or sitting for too long, heat, injury, or underlying medical conditions like heart problems or kidney issues. It's advisable to consult a doctor if leg swelling is persistent or severe.
肿胀 can function as both an adjective ('swollen') and a verb ('to swell'). For example, '我的脚踝肿胀' (My ankle is swollen - adjective) and '伤口开始肿胀' (The wound started to swell - verb).
