Vibrations in the ground are a poorlyunderstood but probably widespreadmeans of communication between ani-mals.地面的振动虽不为人类所了解,但却可能是动物间最广泛的沟通方式。 [参考译文]连全世界的地震实验室里摆放着的精密的震动监测仪都无法测出的地震前震,似乎也不会被动物所察觉。但是,这却是可能的。而且,许多动物在其他自然现象如暴风雨发生之前会有奇怪的表现,以及它们能够探查到远在人类所有的感知能力范围以外的同类,这种能力都是早已被确认了的。这些观察结果使一些人相信,这些动物拥有某种特别的感知能力,一种人类所 Vibrations in the ground are a poorlyunderstood but probably widespreadmeans of communication between ani-mals. Although not known to humans, ground vibrations may be the most widely communicated form of animals. The quake - which can not be detected by sophisticated vibration monitors placed in seismic laboratories around the world - does not seem to be noticeable by animals. However, this is possible. Moreover, many animals have been strangely identified before other natural phenomena, such as storms, and their ability to detect cohorts that are far beyond human perception, have long been recognized. These observations make some people believe that these animals have a particular sense of perception, a human
