         当《人猿星球的崛起》上个月首次向公众展示时，
         When “Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ was first shown to the public last month,

一群兴奋的动物保护者聚集在好莱坞大道上。
a group of excited animal activists gathered on Hoilywood Boulevard.

但他们并不是来给穿着皮大衣的电影明星泼红漆的。
But they weren't there to throw red paint on fur-coat-wearing film stars.

相反,一名积极分子穿着一身猴子装
Instead, one activist dressed in a full-body monkey suit,

带着一个赞扬电影制作人的标牌:
had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers:

谢谢你没有用真正的猩猩
“Thanks for not using real apes (猿)!”

---

         “猿”背后的创意团队使用动作捕捉技术建立数字化的动物
         The creative team behind “Apes” used motion-capture(动作捕捉) technology to create digitalized animals,

花费数千万美元在记录演员表演的技术上，然后用计算机图形处理它，创造出最终的图像
spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actor's performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image (图像).

在这个例子中，是一只看起来很逼真的猿猴。
In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.

---

         然而 “猿”这个项目发现更多的是异常而非遵守规则。
         Yet “Apes” is more exception than the rule.

事实上，好莱坞最近对活体动物很感兴趣。
In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately.

一家监督电影娱乐中动物待遇的非营利组织今年正在密切关注2000多部影片。
One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment or animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this year.

已经有很多电影，包括《大象的水》、《宿醉2》和《动物园管理员》，
Already, a number of films, including “Water for Elephants”,“The Hangover Part II” and “Zookeeper”,

引起了活动人士的愤怒，他们表示，在它们电影中表演的动物没有得到适当的对待。
have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven't been treated properly.

---

         在某些情况下，让活动人士担心的并不是在摄影棚中对动物的待遇;
         In some cases,it's not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried;

人们担心的是糟糕的训练和生活条件。
it's the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns.

还有一些关于美国以外的拍摄电影的问题，
And there are questions about the films made outside the States,

它们有时不像在美国拍摄的作品那样受到严密的监控。
which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the Sates.

         The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least,

直接通向他的岳母:她住在一楼，
leads straight to his mother-in-law: she lives on the ground floor,

而他和妻子还有两个女儿住在楼上。
while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.

---

         四年前，他们搬进了布里斯托尔的一栋三层维多利亚式住宅,
         Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol,

这是英国越来越多的几代同堂的家庭之一。
one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof.

他们共用一扇前门和一台洗衣机，
They share a front door and a washing machine,

但丽塔·怀特黑德在一楼有自己的厨房、浴室、卧室和客厅。
but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.

---

         ”凯瑟琳·怀特黑德说，“我们向我妈妈提出了合租房子的想法。
         “We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house," says Kathryn Whitehead.

丽塔插话道:“我们和尼克聊了很多，因为我觉得尼克和岳母住在一起是件大事。”
Rita cuts in: “We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law."

尼克怎么想? “从我的角度来看，这一切似乎都运转得很好。
And what does Nick think?“ From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well.

我会提出这个建议吗?是的，我想我会的。”
Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would."

---

         很难说到底有多少人同意他的观点，
         It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him,

但研究表明，这一数字在一段时间内一直在上升。
but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time.

官方报告显示，三代同堂的家庭数量从2001年的32.5万户上升到2013年的41.9万户。
Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001 to 419,000 in 2013.

---

         其他几代同堂的家庭更为常见。
         Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common.

有些人和他们年迈的父母住在一起;
Some people live with their elderly parents;

更多的成年子女回到了自己的家，如果他们曾经离开过的话。
many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left.

据说，在25-34岁的人群中，约有20%的人与父母同住，而1991年这一比例为16%。
It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991.

据估计，全英国几代同堂的家庭总数约为180万户。
The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.

         像这样的故事在世界上多代同堂的地方更常见。
         Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted.

一组研究人员报告了一种新型适应，不是对空气或食物，而是对海洋。
a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation, not to air or to food, but to the ocean.

东南亚的一群海洋居民已经进化成更好的潜水员。
A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers.

         Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines.

他们以潜水、用鱼叉捕鱼或收获贝类为生。
They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish.

朱比拉多说，“他们能在水下停留的时间比我们当地岛民长得多，这让我们非常惊讶，”。
“ We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders," Dr. Jubilado said.

“我能看到它们真的在海底行走。”

         In 2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau.

她想知道，几百年的潜水经历是否导致了它们身体特征的进化，从而使这项任务变得更容易。
She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them.

伊拉多博士说：“这似乎是自然选择作用于种群的完美机会，”。
“ It seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population," said Dr. Ilardo.

她还说，可能还有其他一些基因帮助巴夭人潜水。
She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.

         乔迁派对是在某人购买或搬进新公寓或新房子时举行的特别聚会。
         A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house.

买房子或搬家的人是举办派对的人。
The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party.

聚会是朋友和家人祝贺某人拥有新家的一个机会。
The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home.

它也让人们有机会看到新家的样子。
__36 E.It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.__

这也是一个用爱和礼物填充新空间的好时机。
And it is a good time tofill the new space with love and hopefully presents.

---

         带礼物去乔迁聚会是一种传统。

有些人在当地的商店或加盟店登记他们想要或需要的东西的清单。
Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local store or stores.

人们会把一些常见的礼物列在礼物清单上，包括厨房工具，比如刀子和窗帘。
Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains.

即使没有登记，一个好的乔迁礼物也应该是用来装饰新房子的东西，比如一件艺术品或一株植物。
Even if there isn't a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.

---

         你也可以带食物或饮料与其他客人分享。
         __38 C. You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.__

这通常是很受欢迎的，因为在乔迁宴上不会有很多食物。
This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn't a lot of food served.

There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party.

然而，聚会的主人或女主人可能会带所有的客人参观他们的新家。

有时候，因为乔迁派对是在一个人搬进新家后不久举行的，人们可能会被要求帮忙打开箱子。
Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes.

不过这并不常见。
__39 A. This isn't usual though.__

---

         乔迁派对之所以叫乔迁派对，是因为很久以前，人们会把柴火作为礼物带进新房。
         Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift.

这是为了让他们的家在冬天保持温暖。
__40 G. This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.__

现在大多数家庭都有中央供暖系统，不用火取暖。
Now most homes have central heating and don't use fires to keep warm.

         作为一名女商人，我非常关心我的顾客。
         As a businesswoman, I care deeply about my customers.

但就像任何你喜欢的人一样，顾客也会让你发疯。
But like anyone for whom you feel affection, __41 B. customers__ can also drive you mad.

他们会冲进来，说他们的手提包被偷了。
They'll come rushing in, __42 A.saying__ their handbag's been stolen.

他们会发誓他们离开更衣室,搞得一团糟,然后发现它一直在他们的车里。
They'll __43 D. swear__ that they left it in the changing room, create havoc(混乱) and then __44 C. discover __ it had been in their car all the time.

他们会试用商店里一半的商品，想要的只是那种有独特的颜色没有存货的款式。
They'll have out half the __45 D. goods__ in the shop, and want the only style you don't have left in a __46 A.particular__ colour.

我知道店员会有多生气，但我试着说服他们保持微笑。
I do know how upset the shop staff can get, but I try to persuade them to keep __47 B. smiling __.

---

         我还记得在考文特花园遇到的第一个难缠的顾客。
         I remember the first really __48 D. difficult__ customer we had at Covent Garden.

她对每一件事都不满意，没有一件事是对的，我很惊讶她会成为常客。
She was __49 B. displeased with__ absolutely everything, nothing was right and I was rather __50 C. surprised__ that she became a“regular”.

过了一会儿，她为自己一开始的行为道歉。
After a while, she __51 D. apologized__ for the way she behaved at the beginning.

她一周前和丈夫分手了，
She had split up with her husband the week before,

现在她自己住在一套公寓里,因为她觉得实在难以应付,就把气撒在别人身上。
was living in a flat __52 B. by herself__, and since she'd found it too much to cope with(应对)，she'd taken it out on __53 C. other__ people.

---

         这让我上了宝贵的一课，我把它传递给了在市场工作的人。
         That taught me a valuable __54 A.lesson__ and I pass it on to the people who __55 A. work__ in the market.

不要往心里去。
Don't take it __56 C. personally__.

如果一个顾客很粗鲁或很难相处，试想一下 “也许她和她丈夫吵架了。也许她的孩子身体不太好。”
If a customer is rude or difficult, just think “Maybe she's had a row with her husband. Maybe her child's not __57 D. well__.”

一定要淡化它，不要让你的自尊成为阻碍
Always water it down and don't let your ego (自我) get __58 B. in the way__.

如果你这样做了，你将无法处理它，整个事情就会发展成一场不愉快的场面，这会毁了每个人的一天。
If you do, you won’t be able to __59 C. handle__ it and the whole thing develops into an unpleasant scene and that __60 A. ruins__ everyone's day.
