Jane Goodall's journey
Jane Goodall was born on April 3，1934，in England.Her parents divorced when she was eight years old and she moved with her mother to Bournemouth，England.In Bournemouth，Jane met the legendary wildlife expert，Sir Richard Attenborough，who taught Jane about the wonders of primates (灵长目动物) and the importance of preserving their habitats.
In 1957，Jane was hired as a secretary to travel with Louis Leakey，a paleoanthropologist(古人类学家)，to Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania.She was immediately trusted by a chimpanzee that she named David Greybeard.She soon began feeding David on a regular basis，and eventually David took bananas straight from her hand and even allowed her to groom (刷洗) him.Other chimpanzees allowed Jane to observe them at close range later.Goodall soon began studying the Kasakela chimpanzee community in Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park.When studying chimpanzees，Goodall made several important discoveries about the animals.She first discovered that the chimps were intelligent enough to make tools from natural resources in their surroundings.It was the first time in history that animals other than humans had been documented constructing tools.Her observations led many scientists to consider the close evolutionary relationship between humans and chimpanzees.Goodall soon returned to England and obtained a doctorate(博士学位) from Cambridge University in ethology (animal behaviour)．
Goodall returned to Tanzania in 1965 and made more discoveries concerning the nature and society of chimpanzees.She gave names to the chimpanzees that she studied and recorded that each chimpanzee had distinct personalities，traits(特征)，and behaviour.She wrote extensively about relationships within the chimpanzee society.In 1971，Goodall published In the Shadow of Man，in which she described her years of observations.The book focused on the events of the life of a female chimpanzee named Flo.
In 1977，Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute to support continuous research into chimpanzee society.Goodall has received dozens of honored awards.In 2003，she was named as “Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire”， an award similar to that of knighthood.In 2002，she was named a UN Messenger of Peace.

A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE
It is 5：45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa.Following Jane's way of studying chimps(黑猩猩)①，our group are all going to visit them in the forest.Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave(举动；表现) like humans.Watching a family of chimps wake up② is our first activity of the day.This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before③．Everybody sits and waits in the shade(荫；阴凉处) of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off.Then we follow as they wander into the forest.Most of the time，chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family.Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right.However，the evening makes it all worthwhile(值得的)．We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree.Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest(窝) for the night.We realize that the bond(联系) between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family.
非洲野生动物研究者
清晨5点45分，太阳刚从东非的贡贝国家公园的上空升起。我们一行人都准备按照简研究黑猩猩的方法去森林里看望它们。简研究这些黑猩猩家族已经很多年了，她帮助人们了解黑猩猩跟人类的行为是多么的相似。我们当天的首项活动就是观察黑猩猩一家是如何醒来的。这意味着我们要返回前一天晚上我们离开时黑猩猩一家睡觉的大树旁。大家坐在树荫下等待着，这时候黑猩猩们睡醒了，准备离开。然后这群黑猩猩向森林深处漫步而去，我们尾随其后。在大部分时间里，黑猩猩或互相喂食，或彼此擦身，这在它们的家族里是表达爱的方式。简预先提醒我们，到下午的时候我们就会又累又脏，她说对了。不过到傍晚时分我们觉得这一切都是值得的。我们看到黑猩猩妈妈跟她的幼子们在树上玩耍，后来看见它们一起回窝里睡觉。我们认识到黑猩猩家庭成员之间的联系像人类家庭一样紧密。
[助读讲解]　①现在分词短语Following Jane's way of studying chimps作方式状语。②动名词短语Watching a family...作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。③where引导的定语从句修饰the place。在定语从句中现在分词短语sleeping in a tree作后置定语。
Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour(行为)．She spent years observing and recording their daily activities.Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment.However，this was not easy.When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960，it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest.Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project.Her work changed the way people think about chimps④．For example，one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat.Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts.She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it⑤．She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other，and her study of their body language helped her work out⑥ their social system.
在简之前没有人完全了解黑猩猩的行为。她花了多年的时间来观察并记录黑猩猩的日常活动。从孩提时代起，她就想在动物生活的环境中研究它们。但是，这不是一件容易的事。当她1960年最初来到贡贝时，对女性来说，住进大森林还是很稀罕的事情。她母亲头几个月来帮她的忙，这才使她得以开始自己的计划。她的工作改变了人们对黑猩猩的看法。比方说，她的一个重要发现是黑猩猩捕猎并吃肉。而在此之前，人们一直认为黑猩猩只吃水果和坚果。她曾经亲眼看到过一群黑猩猩捕杀一只猴子，然后把它吃掉。她还发现了黑猩猩之间是如何交流的，而她对黑猩猩身势语的研究帮助她勾勒出黑猩猩的社会体系。
[助读讲解]　④定语从句people think about chimps修饰先行词the way，省略了关系词that或in which。
⑤此处是“observe＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，现在分词短语hunting a monkey and then eating it作宾语补足语。
⑥work out计算出；找出……的答案，处理，解决，制定(计划)；弄清楚。
For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals.She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment(娱乐) or advertisements⑦．She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely⑧．She is leading a busy life but she says：
40年来，简·古道尔一直在呼吁世人了解并尊重这些动物的生活。她主张应该让野生动物留在野外生活，而不能用于娱乐或广告。她帮助建起了黑猩猩可以安全生活的专门的保护区。她的生活是忙忙碌碌的，然而，她说：
[助读讲解]　⑦that引导宾语从句， 作argued的宾语。⑧set up建立；创办；成立。定语从句where they can live safely 修饰先行词special places。
“Once I stop，it all comes crowding in(涌上心头)⑨ and I remember the chimps in laboratories.It's terrible.It affects me when I watch the wild chimps.I say to myself⑩，‘Aren't they lucky？’ And then I think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong.Once you have seen that you can never forget...”
“我一旦停下来，所有的一切都会涌上心头，我就会想起实验室里的黑猩猩，太可怕了。每当我看着野生黑猩猩时，这个念头总是萦绕在我心头。我心里想：‘难道它们不幸运吗？’然后我就想起那些没有任何过错却被关在笼子里的小黑猩猩。一旦你看见这些，你就永远不会忘记……”
[助读讲解]　⑨once引导条件状语从句，现在分词短语crowding in作方式状语。⑩say to oneself(＝think to oneself)心里想
She has achieved everything she wanted to do⑪： working with animals in their own environment，gaining a doctor's degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can.She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women⑫．
她已经完成了她想要做的一切：在动物生活的环境中研究它们；获得博士学位；证明女人能像男人一样在森林里生活。她激励着那些想为女性成就而欢呼喝彩的人们。
[助读讲解]　⑪achieve vt.(通过努力)获得或完成。she wanted to do是定语从句，修饰先行词everything。⑫who引导定语从句，修饰those。
