Zheng Gu Shui
<p>I am using the Zheng Gu Shui liniment that I purchased last year in China town (NYC) for the arthritis pain in my knees. Can you tell me the English translation for this name?<br />_________________<br />

The medicament you bought is a kind of pain reliever and its translation into English is "Zheng-correcting or readjusting", "Gu-bones", "Shui-liquid". <br />
So what's the better combination of it or a good English equivalent? <br />
Your opinion please!<br />
Maybe: Bone-Setting Liquid? or Pain-killing Liquid for Bones?</p>

My intention is to learn some "working" conversational Chinese prior to my travels to China this year for my internship, but I have been so caught up in my TCM studies that I have neglected my language CD's. <br />
The Chinese translation goes directly to the exact translation for the liniment usage. and that is for "joint" pain. <br />
Joint Arthritis Liniment: might be a good translation in English. <br />
Bones (of course) are in the "Joints" and Arthritis Liniment would suggest a "correcting or adjusting medication, eg: for pain relief. And lastly, the word liniment has a more powerful and medicinal connotation than "liquid". <br />
Thank you again for your reply. You have inspired and encouraged me to be more diligent in my Chinese language studies from this time forward. <br />

As I said in the last post, it's you who can make the right final translation, not really me.<br />
Personally I don't think you can grasp the language only by learning from CD, but your trip to here China would really enable you to improve your language proficiency of Chinese. <br />
Ok, looking forward to meeting you here in Beijing!</p>
