针很细的。而且只要医生技术好，病人本身放松，不会疼的，反而会缓解疼痛。现在还有高科技的微波针，一点也不疼。不过如果你实在怕针灸，刮痧或者拔火罐儿也行。

The needles are very thin, and as long as the doctor's technique is good, and the patient himself is relaxed, it won't hurt--on the contrary it will actually alleviate pain. Now there are high-tech needles that are micro thin; they don't hurt at all. However, if you are really scared of acupuncture, scraping or cupping are also options.

刮痧太恐怖了。刮完了，身上都是红的，就像被人虐待过一样。拔火罐儿也是，身上都是红色的圆圈，好像麻将里的饼子。

Scraping is too terrifying. When they finish scrapping, your body is all red, as if you were just tortured. Cupping is the same, your body ends up with red circles all over it--looks like a mahjong tile.
