關(guān)于動(dòng)物的14個(gè)誤解 個(gè)個(gè)讓你驚掉下巴

MYTH: Goldfish can't remember anything for longer than a second.
誤解十二：金魚(yú)對(duì)任何事情的記憶都不超過(guò)一秒。

Goldfish actually have pretty good memories.
金魚(yú)其實(shí)記憶力相當(dāng)好。

They can remember things for months, not seconds like many people say.
它們對(duì)事物的記憶力可長(zhǎng)達(dá)數(shù)月，而不像許多人所說(shuō)的只有數(shù)秒。

MYTH: Humans got HIV because someone had sex with a monkey.
誤解十三：人類(lèi)得艾滋病是因?yàn)橛腥撕秃镒影l(fā)生性關(guān)系。

The human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, almost certainly didn't jump to humans through human-monkey sex.
人體免疫缺損病毒，即艾滋病毒，基本可以肯定不是通過(guò)人和猴子的性交傳播給人類(lèi)的。

Based on the virus' genetic similarity to a strain of simian immunodeficiency virus, or SIV, that infects chimpanzees, most experts think the virus jumped to humans through hunting primates for bush-meat food.
基于艾滋病毒與黑猩猩之間傳播的一種猿猴免疫缺損病毒的基因相似性，多數(shù)專(zhuān)家認(rèn)為該病毒是通過(guò)獵殺靈長(zhǎng)類(lèi)動(dòng)物以獲取野味食物而傳播給人類(lèi)的。

This interaction may have led to blood-to-blood contact – perhaps through an open cut on the hunter – and the transfer of a new strain that could silently infect people.
在捕獵過(guò)程中可能會(huì)有血液接觸——也許是通過(guò)獵人身上的一道傷口——從而導(dǎo)致人類(lèi)不知不覺(jué)地傳染上了這種新疾病。

MYTH: Any shark that stops swimming will suffocate and die.
誤解十四：停止游泳的鯊魚(yú)都會(huì)窒息而死。

You often hear sharks can breathe only when swimming pushes water over their gills.
你經(jīng)常聽(tīng)說(shuō)鯊魚(yú)只有在游泳時(shí)才能呼吸，因?yàn)橛纹饋?lái)時(shí)水才能從魚(yú)鰓流出。

That's true of a lot of sharks, but many others – like bottom-dwelling nurse sharks – can pump oxygen-rich water over their gills without swimming.
很多鯊魚(yú)都是如此，但也有很多其他鯊魚(yú)——比如住在海底的護(hù)士鯊——就算不游泳，富含氧氣的水也可以從魚(yú)鰓流出。

All sharks lack swim bladders, however, so if they stop swimming they will sink to the bottom. Luckily a shark's body is incompressible and rapid descents or ascents don't harm them.
但是，所有的鯊魚(yú)都沒(méi)有魚(yú)鰾，所以如果不游泳的話他們就會(huì)沉到海底。幸運(yùn)的是，鯊魚(yú)的身體不會(huì)被壓縮，迅速的沉降和上浮都不會(huì)傷害到它們。
