　　摘要:北京昌平區疾控中心昨日確認，回龍觀龍澤苑西區出現蜱蟲，一名居民和多只寵物狗被叮咬。回龍觀地區辦事處和物業已展開全面排查、監控、宣傳和消殺工作。你知道怎么用英語表達嗎?

　　The disease control center in suburban Changping district on Tuesday started all-round disinfections in a community where a resident and some pets were suspected of being bitten by ticks last week.

　　The woman, surnamed Li, who lives in Longzeyuan community of Changping district, said she was stung by a bug on her right shoulder several days ago and then felt an itch and had small blood spots all over her body, which made her suspect it was a tick.

　　上周北京小區居民和一些寵物懷疑被蜱蟲叮咬，周二，北京昌平區疾病控制中心開始在該小區全面消毒。家住昌平區龍澤苑小區的李女士說，她在幾天前右胳膊被蟲子叮咬，之后感到癢，全身起小血點，她懷疑是蜱蟲。

　　【講解】文中的tick即指蜱(pí)蟲，tick一般指(鐘表等的)滴答聲，如Life is short.Tick tock, tick tick. 人生苦短，光陰似箭。蜱蟲是許多種脊椎動物體表的暫時性寄生蟲，是一些人獸共患病的傳播媒介和貯存宿主。被蜱蟲叮咬后臨床病例多表現為發熱伴白細胞(white blood cell)、血小板(platelet)數目減少，目前一些病例被診斷為人粒細胞無形體病human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA)。
