Capturing the image of this leopard carrying the corpse of a female vervet monkey with his baby still hanging on was a heart-wrenching experience for photographer Shafeeq Mulla of Zambia.

对于赞比亚摄影师 Shafeeq Mulla 来说，这只豹子抱着一只雌性长尾猴的尸体，它的孩子还挂在身上，这是一次令人心痛的经历。

So for example, vervet monkeys hearing a leopard alarm might scurry up a tree, whereas the eagle call sends them running for cover under the closest shrub.

因此，例如，长尾猴听到豹子警报可能会急忙爬上树，而老鹰的叫声会让它们跑到最近的灌木丛下躲避。

It would be as extraordinarily interesting to attempt the same linguistic program to the other communication systems used in the wild such as the cries of vervet monkeys and bee dance.

尝试对野外使用的其他通信系统（例如黑长尾猴的叫声和蜜蜂的舞蹈）使用相同的语言程序将非常有趣。

The bees are more likely to be automatically downloading a report of their recent travels than saying, " There's pollen thataway, slackers." The vocalisations of, say, vervet monkeys have more to them.

蜜蜂更有可能自动下载最近旅行的报告，而不是说：“那儿有花粉，懒鬼。”例如，黑长尾猴的发声具有更多意义。

Either there is a finite list of calls, so vervet monkeys, for instance, have a small list of calls to convey different warnings like " attack from a snake" or " attack from a leopard" .

要么是有限的叫声列表，例如黑长尾猴， 有一小部分叫声来传达不同的警告， 例如“来自蛇的攻击” 或“来自豹子的攻击” 。

In a seminal 1980 study, for example, the primatologists Robert Seyfarth and Dorothy Cheney used the " playback" technique to decode the meaning of alarm calls issued by vervet monkeys at Amboseli National Park in Kenya.

例如，在 1980 年的一项开创性研究中，灵长类动物学家罗伯特·塞法斯 (Robert Seyfarth) 和多萝西·切尼 (Dorothy Cheney) 使用“回放”技术来解读肯尼亚安博塞利国家公园长尾猴发出的警报声的含义。
