explain(v.)說明、解釋
Dr. Chen: For kids with sensitive skin, it’s best to use other ways to keep bugs away. Dress Hank in light-colored clothes. You can also use a small fan near the stroller because bugs don’t like wind. And don’t forget to use a mosquito net when he’s sleeping.
陳醫生:對於皮膚敏感的小孩,最好還是用其他方法來驅除蚊蟲。讓漢克穿著淺色衣物。你也可以在嬰兒推車旁使用小電扇,因為蚊蟲不喜歡有風的地方。也別忘了在他睡覺時掛上蚊帳。
