Natural lipstick helps male monkeys get the girl 组员： 刘珍艳 刘雨桐 张纯 As the Rolling Stones, Revlon, and Angelina Jolie can attest, not many body parts are more sexualized than the lips. A new study published online today in Royal Society Open Science, suggests that we’re not the only primates that feel this way. Black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti, pictured) have a strict social hierarchy in which a few, older males mate with multiple females, while the younger males form bachelor groups and bide their time. The males’ lips naturally redden with age, but the story seems a little more complicated than that: A series of photographs taken over multiple months shows that mating males’ lips redden during the mating season, wheras the bachelor males’ become paler. Scientists still aren’t sure why the animals’ lips seem to correspond with their social rank, but one idea is that females prefer the redder shades when choosing a mate, similar to how a female peacock chooses the male with the most elaborate tail. Another explanation could be that the males are using lip color as a preemptive indicator of their status in order to minimize conflict: Paler lips could make bachelors appear less threatening, allowing the mating males to focus their aggression on other red-lipped competitors. Both mechanisms could also be acting simultaneously, the authors say. 1.As the Rolling Stones, Revlon, and Angelina Jolie can attest, not many body parts are more sexualized than the lips. 滚石乐队、露华浓，和安吉丽娜?朱莉都可以证明，没有多少身体部位会比嘴唇更性感。 2.A new study published online today in Royal Society Open Science, suggests that we’re not the only primates that feel this way. 今天发表于《英国皇家学会开放科学》杂志网络版的一项新研究表明，我们并不是唯一有这种感受的灵长类动物。 合译（Combination）:就是把英语原文的定语从句译成汉语“的”字的定语词组，这样，原英语的主句和定语从句就被合译成了汉语的单句。 3.Black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti, pictured) have a strict social hierarchy in which a few, older males mate with multiple females, while the younger males
