conjunctivitis→pink eye
先日捕まえられた(collared)ペンギンの話です。水質が悪かったのか結膜炎になってしまったそうです。結膜炎はconjunctivitisといいます。その後ろの文を見ると簡単な表現がありました。”pink eye”ですね。結膜炎になると目が「真っ赤」になりますが、英語では「ピンク色」になると表現するそうです。(Minnesota)

Recaptured penguin gets pink eye
The runaway penguin recaptured Thursday after 82 days on the lam has developed the eye infection conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, according to a veterinarian who examined the bird.
The 1-year-old Humboldt penguin escaped from Tokyo Sea Life Park (Kasai Rinkai Suizoku-en), run by the Tokyo metropolitan government. It was spotted swimming near Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay and other locations before it was recaptured.
