我开始以为是十七年蝉,看了下面的材料才知道——
昆虫的寿命
What insect has the longest life span of them all? Well ,I know the life spans of most insects are shorter than ayear.
什么昆虫的寿命最长呢? 嗯,我知道大多数的昆虫寿命都没有一年.
This is in part because they’re cold-blooded and thus poorly equipped for winter. Some do live much longer,though, and my guess is that the periodic cicada holds the record.
这在某种程度上是因为它们是冷血动物,不能很好的适应冬季. 但是仍有一些动物活得比较久,我猜周期蝉能够保持这个记录.
They can live for a whopping seventeen years. And all but about two weeks of that time is spent in immaturityunder ground. When they finally do rise from under the ground, their adult lives are over before they’ve hardlybegun.
它们可以存活17年. 但是它们差不多有两周的时间都处于地底下的不成熟状态. 当它们终于从地底下爬出来的时候,它们的成年生活也差不多结束了.
At least one species of long-horned beetle beats out the cicada with its ability to survive in its larval form in deadwood for thirty-five to fifty years. But the insect with the longest life span, as far as we know, is the African mound-building termite queen.
有一种天牛科甲虫击败了周期蝉,它们能够以幼虫的形态在枯木中生活35年到50年. 但是目前我们知道的寿命最长的昆虫是非洲建造土堡的白蚁后.
These termites are known in part for the large mounds they build. They look something like haystacks, butmore solid, like stone. Inside the mounds lives a highly sophisticated society of insects.
这些白蚁以它们建造的大型土堡出名. 这些土堡看起来像干草堆,但是它们如岩石一般牢固. 在这些土堡里居住着高度复杂的昆虫社会.
You can possibly be telling me that this termite queen live longer than fifty years.can you? Try,sixtyyears.sixty?
你不会告诉我这些白蚁后能够生存50多年吧? 是的,它们能够生存60年.60年?
Some scientists think they may live even longer than that. One thing’s for sure, she’s not lying aroundwatching television all those long years. She’s laying eggs constantly, up to something like thirty-five thousand aday.
一些科学家认为它们可能活的更久. 不过有一件事是可以确定的,它们不会在这些年里天天卧着看电视. 它会不停的产卵,一天能够产35000个卵.
