anting
常考释义
n. （鸟类为了驱除身上的寄生虫通过滚擦）把蚂蚁蓄于羽间的习性
Anting bath is the behavior of birds to clean the body surface.
蚁浴是指鸟类一种清理体表的行为。
Many birds engage in anting, a behaviour in which a bird approaches a colony of ants (small insects), picks up ants with its beak, and rubs the ants on its feathers.
许多鸟都会进行一种蚁浴，这种行为是一只鸟接近一群蚂蚁(小昆虫)的行为，它用嘴叼起蚂蚁，并在它的羽毛上摩擦蚂蚁。
This fact leads some scientists to believe that the function of anting is to relieve skin irritation that birds feel, especially during summer months.
这一事实使一些科学家相信，蚁浴的作用是减轻鸟类的皮肤刺激，尤其是在夏季的月份。
