How can you prevent pinkeye?

这个夏天红眼病再次流行。

The pink eye is going around again this summer .

在很多热带的国家，红眼病是非常流行的。

Eye diseases are very prevalent in some tropical countries.

红眼病是接触传染的，雀类嘴碰嘴抢食时就很容易相互传染。

The disease is quite contagious and can be passed from one finch to another while dining beak-to-beak.

感染了这个，雀类就会昏昏欲睡，精神不振，还伴随着严重的结膜炎症，也就是红眼病。

But they are susceptible to infection with something called Mycoplasma gallisepticum, a bug that leaves them lethargic and sporting a bad case of conjunctivitis, otherwise known as pinkeye.
