Ankle 踝关节
The ankle is the joint that connects your foot to your leg.
It is found just above the heel at the lower end of the leg.
Bones, muscles, and strong bands called ligaments work together in the ankle to help you move your foot.
The ankle lets you point your toes, stand on tiptoe, or move your foot from side to side.
You use your ankle every time you walk, run, or go up and down stairs.
If you twist your ankle, it can swell and hurt, so it is important to be careful during sports or when walking on uneven ground.
踝关节是连接脚和腿的关节。
它位于脚后跟上方、腿的下端。
踝关节里有骨头、肌肉和叫做韧带的坚韧带子，它们一起帮助脚运动。
踝关节能让你勾脚尖、踮脚或把脚左右转动。
每次走路、跑步，或上下楼梯都会用到踝关节。
如果扭伤踝关节，它会肿胀和疼痛，所以运动或走不平的路时要特别小心。
