Dolphins, like whales, must surface to breathe air through a blowhole on top of their heads. Dolphins are social animals and love company. Many of them, in fact, even enjoy being around humans. It is not uncommon to hear of dolphins giving rides through the water to humans. In addition to being playful, dolphins are helpful to men. For example, as 400 B. C. the Greek poet Arion was saved from drowning by a dolphin. From then until now, dolphins have been helping swimmers who are in trouble. Swimmers, however, are not the only humans they help. In some parts of the world, they can be counted on to help men catch fish. Moreover, dolphins are very intelligent. A dolphin's brain resembles a human brain, but it is larger. Consequently, some people claim that dolphins are really smarter than men. Of course, there is no way of proving this point. Brain size is not an absolute measure of intelligence. Furthermore, measuring dolphins' intelligence in other ways is not possible since men cannot fully communicate with them. Apparently, however, dolphins communicate with each other. At any rate, they make whistling, clicking and buzzing sounds which seem to be at least a form of language. So far, however, men have not been able to figure out the communication code the dolphins use.
答案: 海豚與鯨魚一樣,需要不時浮出水面以其頭頂上的鼻孔進行呼吸。海豚是群居動物,愛結伴。事實上,不少海豚還以與人相處為樂,它們在水中供人乘騎之事也是常有所聞的。 除了可愛逗趣之外,海豚對于人類是極有幫助的。例如,早在公元前400年希臘詩人艾里昂就因溺水而被一頭海豚救起。至今為止,海豚一直在幫助遇到麻煩的游泳者。不僅如此,它們還能幫助人們捕魚。 更有甚者,海豚智力發達。它的大腦與人類的相似,但容量更大。因而有人宣稱,海豚真的比人更聰明。當然,現在沒法證明這點。腦容量并不是一個決定聰明程度的檢測標準。還有,由于人們無法完全同海豚進行交流,也就不可能用其他方法測定它們的智力,然而,海豚與海豚之間顯然能進行交流。不管怎么說,他們發出的哨音、咔噠聲和嗡嗡聲等至少是一種語言的形式。但是,迄今為止人們尚不能解釋海豚語言交流的密碼。
