人和动物可以关系好到什么地步？在巴西的一个沿海城市，渔民和海豚一起捕鱼，嘿嘿~团结起来有好吃的！听说这种合作模式已经保持一个多世纪了！ 听说ta们之间还有独特的沟通方式？一起来了解一下吧！ Dolphins cooperate with humans
双赢！海豚与人类“携手”捕鱼
In the coastal (沿海的) city of Laguna in Brazil, there is a special fishing team. It is made up of human fishers and dolphins! They work together to catch the same prey (猎物) – mullet (鲻鱼).
在巴西的沿海城市拉古纳，有一个由渔民和海豚共同组成的特殊的捕鱼团队。他们一起协作捕捉鲻鱼。
Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, US, studied this partnership. As he told Science News Explores, the cooperation started more than a century ago.
美国俄勒冈州立大学的Mauricio Cantor研究了这种合作关系，据悉，这种合作关系始于一个多世纪之前。
“The dolphins are really good at detecting (发现) fish in the murky (浑浊的) water and herding (驱赶) them to the coast,” Cantor said. “The fishermen are really good at trapping the fish with their nets.” Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves.
Cantor研究了渔民和海豚在捕鱼过程中向彼此传递信号的方式。海豚发现鱼群后会将鱼群驱赶到海岸线附近，然后拱起后背以示渔民该撒网了。这时渔民的动作一定要“稳准狠”，不然就会错过捕鱼的最佳时机。当然啦，渔民也要经过充分的训练才能理解海豚发出的信号。
Cantor’s study described how fishers and dolphins give cues (信号) to each other during fishing. When dolphins find fish, they herd them to the coast. Then they arch (拱起) their backs in front of the fishers to tell them to cast (撒) nets. Fishermen will then cast the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance. Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the cues from dolphins, said Cantor.

Human-animal partnerships
团结起来，“有鱼吃”！
The study found that fishers are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, cooperative dolphins have 13 percent higher survival rates than other dolphins.
研究发现，与海豚合作成功捕鱼的概率较单独行动高17倍，而参与合作的海豚的存活率也高很多。
Human-animal partnerships have been rare (罕见的) throughout history. But they “give us an idea of how positive (积极的) our human interactions (互动) can be with nature,” Cantor said.
自古以来，人与动物之间的合作关系就比较罕见。但正如Cantor所说，“这为我们探讨人与自然的积极关系开拓了新的大陆。
