蚂蚁不投降插画-the ant and the chrysalis插画家是什么?

蚂蚁是地球上数量最多的昆虫()(),人们到处都可以看到它们忙忙碌碌的景象.蚂蚁的视力很差,只能[分辨 分辩]出十几厘米以内物体的简单形状.它们在自己的领地上生活,并不会阅读《交通指南》之类的书籍,却从来不会发生交通堵塞的状况,这究竟是为什么呢?

科学家通过实验,终于找到了答案.原来,蚂蚁拥有一种令人惊叹的特殊本领,它们非常善于[交换 交流]路况信息,从而保证同伴随时都知道周围道路的具体情况,使它们选择最佳的行走路线.

研究人员首先在蚁巢附近摆放了一些蚂蚁喜欢吃的食物,然后在蚁巢和食物之间建立了一宽一窄两条通道.不一会儿,食物吸引了大批蚂蚁赶来搬运.一开始,蚂蚁随机地选择行走路线,较窄的那条通道很快就变得拥挤起来.没过多久,怪事发生了.一只从拥挤的窄路上返回蚁巢的蚂蚁,途中遇到了另一只迎面而来的同伴,前者会尽力将后者“顶”向另一条宽敞的通道.如果路上没有遇到拥挤的麻烦,它就不会这么做.

后来,研究人员又在食物和蚁巢之间建立了多条纵横交错的通道.不久,其中路途最短、最宽敞的那条通道必然成为蚂蚁们的首选.不过,只要这里即将发生拥堵,它们就开始用身体相互“顶”起来.许多蚂蚁立刻转身选择另外的道路,这样每条道路都能够[保持 坚持]畅通无阻.

人们很难解释蚂蚁这么做究竟是出于自私还是无私.从某一只蚂蚁来看,它似乎没有什么高深的想法.但是从蚂蚁整体来看,它们使用这种看起来似乎并不复杂的小动作以后,却使整个群体运行得相当有秩序.蚂蚁的世界“不堵车”现象,为人们解决城市交通问题提供了有益的启示.现在,人们利用发达的通讯技术,让所有的车辆都能及时地了解周围道路的交通状况,选择合适的行走路线,这样一来,交通[拥堵 拥挤]的现象就大大缓解了.

蚂蚁和蛹

The Ant and the Chrysalis

An Ant nimbly running about in the sunshine in search of food came

across a Chrysalis that was very near its time of change.

一只蚂蚁在阳光下来回跑着寻找食物,

这时它发现了一只即将要羽化成蝶的蛹。

The Chrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant,

who then saw for the first time that it was alive.

蛹动了动尾巴。

这立刻吸引了蚂蚁的注意。蚂蚁这才发现原来这只蛹是活的。

"Poor, pitiable animal!" cried the Ant disdainfully. "What a sad fate is yours!

While I can run hither and thither, at my pleasure。

and, if I wish, ascend the tallest tree,

you lie imprisoned here in your shell,

with power only to move a joint or two of your scaly tail."

“可怜的虫子”,蚂蚁轻蔑地说了句,“你的命运实在是太悲惨了,

我能随意地到处跑来跑去,高兴的时候,还可以爬上那最高的树远眺。

你呢,被困在自己的壳里,顶多只能动动你的几个关节,或者摇摇你那丑陋的尾巴。”

The Chrysalis heard all this, but did not try to make any reply.

蛹听到了蚂蚁说的一切,但没做任何回应。

A few days after, when the Ant passed that way again,

nothing but the shell remained.

几天之后,当蚂蚁再次路过那里时,那里只剩下了一个空壳。

Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenly

shaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly.

它正琢磨着里面的东西哪去了时,

一只美丽的蝴蝶用它色彩斑斓的翅膀在蚂蚁头上扇动。

"Behold in me," said the Butterfly, "your much-pitied friend!

Boast now of your powers to run and climb

as long as you can get me to listen."

“看看我,”蝴蝶说,“可怜的家伙。

等你追上我再去吹嘘你那能跑又能爬的本事吧!”

So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air,

and, borne along and aloft on the summer breeze,

was soon lost to the sight of the Ant forever.

说着,蝴蝶向上飞去。

借着夏日的清风,它很快就在了蚂蚁的视线中消失了,

永远的消失了。
