這只兔子看起來(lái)正在享受夏日陽(yáng)光下的梳洗打扮，用泉水清理皮毛時(shí)，還尤其注意他那標(biāo)志性的長(zhǎng)耳朵。

Clearly determined to look his best, the well turned-out mammal spent a long time carefully checking the rest of his fur for any dirt.

兔子會(huì)定期用牙齒、舌頭和爪子來(lái)清洗梳理，保持清潔。它們通常把互相幫忙梳理作為一種社交活動(dòng)，但是這只看起來(lái)只得自己動(dòng)手了。

As well as a way of looking smart, careful cleaning is a very important part of a rabbit's health.
除了有助于樹(shù)立良好的形象外，認(rèn)真的清洗也是關(guān)系到兔子健康的重要一環(huán)。

In the warmer months they are at risk from attack by maggots, which can eat into their flesh in a condition called fly strike.The risk is increased by dirty fur which attracts flies, so the rabbits have to take their grooming seriously.
天氣比較熱的月份，它們有可能會(huì)生蛆蟲(chóng)，這些蟲(chóng)子會(huì)侵噬它們的肉，使它們患上一種叫做羊毛蠅蛆癥的病。皮毛不干凈會(huì)招來(lái)蒼蠅，增加患病的幾率，所以兔子必須要認(rèn)真清理皮毛。
