7 Chapter 6 Fame

Chapter 6 Fame Right away, Jane and Hugo van Lawick became close friends. They had very different personalities. Hugo was a stiffer, more formal person than Jane was. However, they worked very well alongside each other. They were a team. Each night they talked excitedly about what they had seen the chimps doing. In time, Hugo and Jane fell in love. In London, on March 28, 1964, they were married. On top of the wedding cake was a little clay model of David Graybeard. On the walls hung pictures of David and Goliath, Flo and her daughter Fifi, and many of Jane and Hugo's other chimp "friends."

很快，简和雨果·范·拉维克成为了亲密的朋友。 他们的性格截然不同。 雨果是一个比简更拘谨、更正式的人。 然而，他们在一起工作得很好。 他们是一个团队。每天晚上他们都兴奋地谈论他们所看到的黑猩猩在做什么。 不久，雨果和简坠入爱河。 1964年3月28日，他们在伦敦结婚。 婚礼蛋糕的顶部是一个大卫·格雷比尔德的小泥塑。 墙上挂着大卫和歌利亚、弗洛和她的女儿菲菲，以及简和雨果的许多其他黑猩猩“朋友”的照片。

The National Geographic Society provided more money for Jane's work. Over time, the camp grew. Many young graduate students went to join Jane at Gombe. In 1965, buildings were erected, then covered with grass to blend in with the forest. More and more information was gathered about the chimp community. For instance, before Gombe, scientists had thought that a chimpanzee group was made up of one male and lots of females. That's not so. A group is made up of many males and females. There were around fifty in the group that Jane knew. The group lives within a home range. An adult male is always the leader and may stay in charge for as long as ten years. When the leader

国家地理学会为简的工作提供了更多的资金。 随着时间的推移，这个阵营不断壮大。许多年轻的研究生去冈贝找简。 1965年，建筑被竖立起来，然后被草覆盖，与森林融为一体。 关于黑猩猩群落的信息越来越多。 例如，在贡贝之前，科学家们认为一个黑猩猩群体是由一只雄性和许多雌性组成的。 事实并非如此。一个群体由许多男性和女性组成。 简认识的那群人中大约有五十人。 这个群体生活在一个家庭范围内。 一只成年雄性永远是领导者，可能会掌权长达十年之久。 当领导

becomes too old and weak, most often younger males will fight one another to be the next leader. Goliath was the leader, or alpha male, when Jane first went to Gombe. Later, a chimp named Mike replaced Goliath. Mike was not a big, strong chimp. But he was clever. He acted big and strong, which made the other males fear and respect him. Among the females, Flo was the most respected. In 1964, she had another baby. Jane and

变得太老太弱，通常年轻的雄性会为了成为下一任领袖而相互争斗。 当简第一次去冈贝的时候，歌利亚是首领。 后来，一只名叫迈克的黑猩猩取代了歌利亚。 迈克不是一只又大又壮的黑猩猩。 但他很聪明。他表现得又大又壮，这使其他雄性又害怕又尊敬他。 在女性中，弗洛是最受尊敬的。 1964年，她又生了一个孩子。 简和

Hugo called him Flint. They did not know who Flint's father was. Male and female chimps do not pair off and live together. Nor does a male chimp take part in raising his young. The mother chimp cares for the young by herself. Flo often came into the camp with her new baby. So Jane saw close-up how an infant chimp develops. Like a newborn human baby, a newborn chimp is helpless. Flint depended on Flo for milk, to keep him safe, and to carry him around. For the first five or six months, Flint clung to the fur on his mother's belly. Afterward, Flo made him ride on her back. By the time most chimps are a year old, they can walk steadily. But chimps will ride on their mothers until they are about two years old. After that they travel on their own, still staying close to their mother. Flint had two much older brothers, Figan and Faben. His sister Fifi was four when he was born. Fifi was fascinated with little Flint. She wanted to be around him all the time. When he was older, Fifi would hold him and take him for rides on her back. She was learning to be a mother!

雨果叫他弗林特。他们不知道弗林特的父亲是谁。 雄性和雌性黑猩猩不配对生活在一起。 雄性黑猩猩也不会参与抚养幼崽。 母猩猩独自照顾幼崽。 弗洛经常带着她刚出生的孩子来到营地。 简近距离观察了幼年黑猩猩的发育过程。 就像刚出生的人类婴儿一样，刚出生的黑猩猩是无助的。 弗林特依靠弗洛给他喂奶，保护他的安全，带他到处走。 在最初的五六个月里，弗林特紧紧抓着妈妈肚子上的毛。 后来，弗洛让他骑在她的背上。 到大多数黑猩猩一岁时，它们就能平稳地行走了。 但是黑猩猩会骑在母亲身上直到两岁左右。 在那之后，他们自己旅行，仍然和他们的母亲呆在一起。 弗林特有两个比他大得多的哥哥，费根和法本。 他出生时，他的妹妹菲菲四岁。 菲菲被小弗林特迷住了。 她想一直陪在他身边。 当他长大后，菲菲会抱着他，让他骑在她的背上。 她正在学着做一个母亲!

Flo was an excellent mother. In fact, most of the female chimps at Gombe were good mothers. They kept their babies very close to them.

弗洛是一位出色的母亲。 事实上，冈贝的大多数雌性黑猩猩都是好妈妈。 他们把孩子放在身边。

The chimp mothers gave their babies lots of love and attention. They cuddled them. They protected them. They did not punish their babies for misbehaving. Instead, a chimp mother would distract a baby to stop naughty behavior. They let their babies have lots of playtime. The little chimps chased and tickled one another and played games like tug-of-war.

黑猩猩妈妈给了它们的孩子很多的爱和关注。 他们抱着他们。他们保护他们。 他们不会因为孩子行为不端而惩罚他们。 相反，黑猩猩妈妈会分散婴儿的注意力，以阻止调皮的行为。 他们让孩子有很多玩耍的时间。 小猩猩们互相追逐、挠痒，玩拔河之类的游戏。
