那是我的主人！狗狗也嫉妒 Mans best friend does not like anything muscling in on that friendship. The first experimental test of jealousy in dogs shows that canines nip even at stuffed pooches when these fakes take away the attention of the dogs owners.人类不喜欢其他人硬是挤进自己和最好的朋友之间的友谊。近期所做的第一个针对狗狗是不是有嫉妒心的实验表明，当毛绒玩具狗这些假狗把主人的注意力吸引过去，它们也会露出牙齿表示愤怒与不满。 This new findings support the view that jealousy is a primordial emotion seen not only in humans, but in other animals as well, researchers said. The results also show that jealousy does not require especially complex minds, the scientists said.这一结果成功为“不仅人类会嫉妒，其他动物也有嫉妒心”的猜想提供证据。研究人员说，研究结果还表明嫉妒这一情绪的产生并不需要多么复杂的思想。 Understanding jealousy is an important matter, because of the damage this emotion can trigger. Jealousy is the third-leading cause of non-accidental homicide across cultures, said lead study author Christine Harris, an emotion researcher at the University of California, San Diego.了解嫉妒这种情绪很重要，因为它能引发很严重的破坏性行为。研究的主要作者、加州大学圣地亚哥分校一位情感研究员说：“嫉妒是跨文化的蓄意谋杀的第三大原因。” It is commonly assumed that jealousy is unique to humans, in part because of the complexity of thought the emotion entails, such as gauging what threat a rival poses to a relationship. The vast majority of research on jealousy concentrates on romantically linked jealousy over potential or actual infidelity.人们普遍认为嫉妒是人类才有的情绪，有部分原因是这一情绪所需要的思想的复杂性，比如衡量对方的什么行为会对一段关系产生威胁。大多数对嫉妒的研究都集中在争风吃醋、猜疑配偶不忠等事情上。 However, scientists have argued for years over whether jealousy does require complex minds. In addition, researchers have noted jealousy is not always about sex, with the emotion frequently concerning siblings, friends and even co-workers. This suggests jealousy, at its most basic level, evolved to protect any social relationship from interlopers. All in all, this hints that jealousy might exist in other social animals; indeed, Darwin suggested that jealousy might exist among dogs, in particular.然而，科学家在近几年一直争论嫉妒到底需不需要复杂的思维。研究人员还发现，嫉妒并不全与性有关，它还可以产生在兄弟姐妹、朋友甚至同事之间。这表明，嫉妒从最本源层次来说只是为了防止社会关系被外来者
