Toenail 脚趾甲
The toenail is a hard, thin plate that sits on top of each toe.
It protects the tip of your toe from bumps and scratches when you walk or run.
A toenail grows from a small area at its base, called the nail root, which is just under the skin.
Most healthy toenails look pink because of the blood under the nail.
If you cut your toenails too short or by accident, it may hurt or make the toe red and sore.
Some people can get problems like ingrown toenails, where the side of the nail grows into the skin and feels painful.
脚趾甲是一层坚硬、薄薄的小甲板，覆盖在每个脚趾的上方。
它可以保护脚趾尖，在你走路或跑步时防止磕碰和刮伤。
脚趾甲从根部的小区域慢慢长出来，那里叫做甲根，就在皮肤下面。
健康的趾甲看上去多为粉色，因为甲板下面有血液。
如果把脚趾甲剪得太短或不小心剪伤，会让脚趾疼痛或发红。
有些人会遇到嵌甲问题，就是趾甲边缘长进了肉里，这会导致疼痛。
