1:PRIMATES apart, few mammals employ tools.2:Sea otters use rocks to smash clams open, dolphins wrap sponges around their noses to protect themselves while they forage on the seabed, elephants swat insects with branches and humpback whales exhale curtains of bubbles to trap schools of fish.3:Until now, these four examples had been thought the extent of the non-primate mammalian tool-users club.4:But a study just published in Animal Cognition, by Volker Deecke of the University of St Andrews, in Britain, has added a fifth and rather surprising one.[...]115:That epitome of rugged wildness, the grizzly bear, seems to be the only species other than humans to have invented the comb.

1:除了灵长类动物，会使用工具的哺乳类动物屈指可数。2:海獭会在石头上砸开蛤蜊；海豚在海床上觅食时，会将海绵绑在鼻子上以保护自身；大象会用树枝拍打昆虫；驼背鲸会呼出阵阵气泡来困住鱼群。3:至今，人们仍认为非灵长类动物中只有这四种会使用工具。4:但英国圣安德鲁大学的Volker Deecke在《动物认知》上刚发表的研究指出了第五种会用工具的动物，而且是令人相当意外的一种。[...]115:粗犷野性的象征——灰熊，看来是除了人类以外唯一一种发明了梳子的动物。

1: A hodgepodge of Marxists and other leftists allied themselves at first to the religious fundamentalists in common cause against the shah, inspiring Iranian students, in particular, to rise up against his rule. 2: Within a few years, though, the left had lost out to Shia Islamic political groups that were, Mr Axworthy writes, “more flexible, more charismatic, more in tune with Iranian realities and less hidebound”. 3: Like Mr Buchan, Mr Axworthy has mined newly opened archives to good effect. [...]114: He lays bare the failure of Western governments to keep abreast of fast-changing events. One British dispatch saw “no threat to basic stability” in late 1977; another asked whether Iranians were still “the epitome of idleness”. 5: The Iranian hostage-takers were astounded to find that, of the four CIA officers in the American embassy in Tehran, none could speak Persian.

1:那些信奉传统基督教的马克思主义者和左派人士首次联合起来，尤其还煽动学生共同抵抗伊朗王的统治。2:Axworthy写到，在近几年里，脱离什叶派团体的左翼人士“更加灵活，有感召力，与时俱进与伊朗现实相结合”。3: 与Mr Buchan一样，他也恰到好处地引用了最近公开的史料。 [...]114:还指出了西方政府在获取重大事件方面的不足，例如1977年底英国报道认为“不会威胁到基本稳定”，另一西方媒体认为伊朗是不是在虚张声势。5:伊朗人质劫持者惊奇地发现美国驻德黑兰大使馆的4名CIA人员不会说波斯语。

1:The opening chapter on Austen’s body and her image is the most memorable.2:Few pictures of Austen survive, and over the decades she has been re-imagined in paintings, books, plays and films.3:Her place and meaning in culture have also shifted as society has changed.4:The Victorians saw magic in her stories; disenchanted with modernism, they aligned her novels with fairy tales and an idealised England.5:In the first world war soldiers carried her books to the front line as companions in a terrifying conflict, perceiving peril in the pages and toughness in her words.[...]116:During the second world war Austen was considered the epitome of Englishness, part of the restful home front that needed protecting.

1:那些有关奥斯汀身体及其肖像的开篇章节让人难忘。2:奥斯汀的照片很少流传下来，在这数十年期间，奥斯汀的形象已经被油画书籍剧本电影重新想象。3:社会变迁，沧海桑田，她在文化中的地位和意义也随之改变。4:在维多利亚时代她的小说故事被加入了魔法元素；由于不再着迷于现代主义，他们将奥斯汀的小说同童话故事以及理想化的英国糅合起来。5:一战期间，士兵们带着她的书奔赴前线，其字里行间透漏出对战争危险和艰苦的理解，就像是在恶战中跟战友并肩作战。[...]116:二战期间，奥斯汀被认为是英国人作风的缩影，是战争期间可供休憩的精神家园的一部分，需要好好保护。
