翻译加油站：
“红眼”是“嫉妒”的意思。英语的red-eyed没有“嫉妒”的
比喻意义，而green-eyed(with envy/jealousy)才有“嫉妒”的意思。
“红眼”的第一个意思是指“某些动物是天生红眼睛的”。英语
译为red-eyed 或with red eyes。例如：红眼树蛙会改变皮肤颜色
与其周围环境融合。A red-eyed tree frog will change its skin color to blend in with its surroundings.
“红眼”的第二个意思是指“人因熬夜、劳累、受伤或生病而产
生的生理病变”。英语译为red-eyed 或with red eyes。例如：他
因劳累而眼红。He is red-eyed from fatigue.“红眼病”英语为
acute conjunctivitis。例如：红眼病是最常见的能传染儿童的眼病。Conjunctivitis is the most common eye infection affecting children
“红眼”的第三个意思是“发怒”或“发急”。英语译为to e red, to become desperate, to become furious。例如：他赌钱输
红眼了。He became desperate due to loss in gambling.
“红眼”的第四个意思是“嫉妒”或“妒忌”，也能够说“犯红眼病”。英语译为to be green-eyed (with envy/jealousy), to be green with envy/ jealousy。例如：他看见别人生活比自己好就犯红眼病。He is green with jealousy at eing others become better off than him.
“红眼航班”(red-eyed flight)，指路程遥远，通宵飞行的航班。价格便宜，但乘客睡不好觉，眼睛熬红。例如：没有什么比回家更美好的了，而也没有什么比花费半个夜晚在飞机场等待红眼航班更糟糕的了。There is nothing better than going home and nothing wor than spending half the night at the airport waiting for a red-eyed flight.
