The parasite that causes malaria, though, can only complete its life cycle in normal, round red blood cells.

然而，导致疟疾的寄生虫只能在正常的圆形红细胞中完成其生命周期。

Even though Respirocyte is six times smaller than a normal red blood cell, it's able to carry 236x more oxygen and carbon dioxide!

管呼吸细胞比正常红细胞小六倍，但它能够携带 236 倍多的氧气和二氧化碳！

Carriers are less susceptible to malaria, because they make some sickled red blood cells, but they make enough normal red blood cells that they aren't negatively affected by sickle cell anemia.

携带者不易感染疟疾， 因为他们会产生一些镰状红细胞，但他们会产生足够多的正常红细胞， 因此不会受到镰状细胞性贫血的负面影响。
