村田沙耶香の "Earthlings" を読んでいます。
My sister asked me to go buy her some stuff from the drugstore where Mom worked. I was looking for eyedrops for my sister's sty when I caught sight of Mom at the far end of the store. She wasn't a qualified pharmacist.
つい最近、眼が痒くなるので（多分花粉症）私も目薬を買いにドラッグストアに行きました。"sty" も目の病気の一種に違いありません。辞書を見ます。
・Oxford English Dictionary: an infection of the eyelid (= the skin above or below the eye) which makes it red and painful
・Collins Dictionary: a small, inflamed swelling of a sebaceous gland on the rim of an eyelid
・Cambridge English Dictionary: a small, sore swelling on the edge of an eyelid: There is also an ointment formulated specifically for eye sties.
ものもらいの事でしょうね。
