English translation:nourish the liver and replenish the body essential fluids
Explanation:
明是什么?日和月,加在一起就是明。我们都说耳聪目明,那在中医里,谁和明有关?对,肝!因为“肝开窍于目,目受血而视”。

阴是指体内的体液,包括血液、唾液、泪水、内分泌及油酯分泌等。阴虚体质,就是因体内阴液亏少。

Explanation:
中医理论上说有四字有因果关系和并列关系两种的说法

因果关系:滋阴->补阳
并列关系:滋阴、补印

中医理论没有滋阳补阴的说法。

所以按照相应的原文作翻译应该是合适的。

如果是原作者创作的滋明补阴, 按照上下文翻译即可。
