旅行时，有些海鲜不能生食，要小心。lǚ xíng shí yǒu xiē hǎi xiān bù néng shēng shí yào xiǎo xīn

When traveling, some seafood cannot be eaten raw, so be careful.

The food remains uncooked at the moment it is eaten, so heat never comes between its raw state and the meal.

生吃shēng chī: Eat food without heating or cooking it first, in ordinary conversation.

以未加热或未经烹调的状态直接食用食物。yǐ wèi jiā rè huò wèi jīng pēng tiáo de zhuàng tài zhí jiē shí yòng shí wù

The compound 生食 (shēngshí, "eat raw") combines 生 (shēng, "raw") with 食 (shí, "eat") to name this way of consuming food.

This word fills an action slot in a Chinese sentence, whereas English usually expresses the same idea with a verb phrase rather than treating raw as the verb.
