<< review queue entry 65561 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Executive summary: - "hot compress" is 热敷布, not 热敷. - 热敷 means "application of a hot compress"; it doesn't refer to the hot cloth (hot compress). -------------------------- Details: 1) A "hot compress" is a physical object (such as a cloth dipped in hot water or a bag of hot sand) that is applied to a part of the body. "A soft, absorbent cloth folded into several layers, dipped in hot water 107° to 115°F (41.7° to 46.1°C), barely wrung out, and placed on the part to be treated. It is covered with a piece of cloth." https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/hot+compress 2) 热敷, on the other hand, is a verb. LA ~ 把熱的溼毛巾、熱沙袋或熱水袋等放在病變部位的皮膚上，以增強局部血液循環，促使發炎症狀消退（與「冷敷」相對）。 J examples: - 热敷前要试好温度， - 热敷时先将其浸入热水（是沸水）大约5分钟。 Or, as a noun, it is a kind of treatment ("application of a hot compress to the skin") -- not the physical hot cloth itself. Another example: 还可将炒热的盐或沙子包在布袋里热敷 "One can also apply a hot compress made by filling a bag with pan-heated salt or sand." 3) "hot compress" is 熱敷布, not 熱敷. See the following dictionary entry: compress - noun [ C ] a thick, soft piece of cloth that is pressed to a part of a person's body to stop bleeding or to reduce pain or swelling : a cold/hot compress: 冷／熱敷布 https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english-chinese-traditional/compress |
