Text translation
1.许多动物都会在每年的特定时间从一处迁移到另一处。这种一年一度的行为被称为“迁徙”。动物为了觅食、寻找配偶或温暖的环境而迁徙。自然界最为壮观的迁徙之一就是北美洲黑脉金斑蝶的迁徙。
2.每年秋天,数百万只这种翅膀橙黑相间的美丽昆虫都会开启漫长且艰辛的旅程。它们总是能够完成4000千米的南行旅程,成功到达美国加利佛尼亚州或墨西哥。然而,直到最近,人们才明白它们是如何做到的。
3.一支由伊莱.史莱泽曼教授引导的来自华盛顿大学的科学家团队现已找到了答案。他们发现,黑脉金斑蝶可以判断时间,并用眼睛测量太阳的位置。这两条信息—一天中的时刻和太阳在天空中的位置—让黑脉金斑蝶能够判定前进的方向,最终成功到达过冬的地点。

4.黑脉金斑蝶这一惊人能力的奥秘被揭开时,这一生物正处于水深火热的生存状态中。其数量在近年减少了百分之九十之多。不幸的是。人类的活动是造成其数量下降的主要原因。在黑脉金斑蝶生存的许多地方,人们正在破坏着那里的自然环境。他们砍伐树木,他们所用的化学制剂杀死了黑脉金斑蝶幼虫食用的植物。
5.不过对黑脉金斑蝶习性的研究也使得人们对这种生物有了更多的了解。人们已经在共同努力,记录它们的迁徙,并确保它们有足够的食物。如果这些努力产生效果,黑脉金斑蝶的数量在未来有可能再次回升。我们对这种迷人的生物了解越多,它们在自然界中得以长久生存并保持其位置的可能性就越大。
