suboptimal health status

亚健康

(yà jiànkānɡ)

A: You don't look so good. Are you tired from work?

你最近看上去气色不太好,是不是工作太累了?

(nǐ zuìjìn kàn shànɡ qù qìsè bú tàihǎo, shì búshì ɡōnɡzuò tài lèi le?)

B: Yeah. I'm not getting enough sleep. I just can't get my spirits up. I feel that I'm operating at a suboptimal health status.

是啊,我的睡眠时间太少了,整个人都提不起精神,我感觉自己正处于亚健康状态。

(shì a, wǒ de shuìmián shíjiān tài shǎo le, zhěnɡɡè rén dōu tí bùq ǐjīnɡshén, wǒ ɡǎnjué zìjǐ zhènɡ chǔyú yà jiànkānɡ zhuànɡtài.)

A: Suboptimal health status is pretty prevalent among young urbanites today. Work pressures are high and they often have to work overtime and stay up late. This is pretty damaging to one's health. You should take some time out to take care of yourself!

亚健康在现在都市年轻人中很普遍,大家工作压力大,经常加班熬夜,这样对身体伤害很大。你还是找时间好好调养身体吧!
