What is it that makes humans different from other animas?For centuries we were convinced that language and communication were what made us better than other species ,but we now know we are far from unique in our use of language.We used to consider our ability to learn foreign languages special,but then came those vaguely disturbing experiments in which a chaimpanzee named Washoe proved that monkeys are not only capable of memorizing vocabulary,but can also spontaneously create new and meaningful combinations of words.So could language teaching be to activity that truly distinguishes humans from other animals?Not really,it turns out a gorilla named Judy who learned human language in a lab has been observed teaching it to other gorillas.In fact more and more scientists are concluding that it's ridiculous to imagine that humans are unique in any way at all.Birds use tools;dogs conceive new ideas;even insects have complex social structures governed by clear regulations.The next thing we know,someone will discover that pigs consult psychiatrists.
是什么让人与动物区别开来?几个世纪以来,我们总是确信语言和交流让我们比其他物种更为优越.但是我们现在知道我们彼此使用的语言也缺乏特别性.我们曾以为自己学习外语的能力非同一般,但是随之而来的那些让人难以接受的实验时当一个叫做Washoe的黑猩猩证明猴子不仅有记忆词汇的能力,而且可以随即创造出新的和有意义关联的单词.那么语言教学能否真的能把人和动物区分开呢?不是这样的.实验证实一个叫做Judy的大猩猩在实验室学会了人类的语言之后还被观察到教授那些别的大猩猩这些语言.事实是,越来越多的科学家得出结论:认为人类在各个方面都是独一无二的印象是可笑滑稽的.鸟类会使用工具,狗可以产生新的想法.甚至昆虫可以有被严格统治的复杂的社会结构.接下来,我们想,某人将会发现猪也会向精神病专家咨询.
