How many secrets do you know about elephants?
大象知多少?
1. 河南省的简称是“豫”,“豫”在古汉语中是“大象的意思”。在新石器时代至商代后期,河南地区象群不断壮大,得名“豫州”。春秋战国时期,气候变冷,征战四起,大象等野生动物的生存环境逐渐恶化。到了战国末年的韩非子时期,豫州,已然“名不副实”了。
2. It’s a common saying that elephants never forget.
一头驯化的大象,可以记得至少四十个来自象夫的指令;它同时能辨认许多人、动物,以及生活的点点滴滴,即使平均寿命达五、六十年,一辈子也不会忘记它曾经遭受过的恩惠与伤害。
