Which animal has the fastest snapping jaw? If you’re guessing a shark or perhaps an alligator, you’ll have to think smaller.

The trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus bauri), which lives in Central and South America, moves its mandibles (mouth parts) at 115 to 207 feet (35 to 63 meters) per second.

Another way to think about this is that the ant’s jaws close at 78 to 145 miles per hour (125 to 233 kilometers per hour). That’s 2,300 times faster than the blink of an eye.

Scientists were able to measure the amazing jaw speed using high-speed video techniques.

Sheila Patek, assistant professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley, says the key is that the jaws have a pair of latches: “Having a latch system is critical in obtaining explosive speeds.”

Consider a bow and arrow. If you try to throw an arrow with your arm, it won’t go very far. If you use a bow, elastic energy stored in the bow is released almost instantly when you release the arrow with your finger or a latch.

The combination of the springy bow and latch mechanism is what makes the arrow zoom through the air. “That’s exactly what really fast organisms are doing,” says Patek.

Maybe even more amazing than how fast these ants grab food or even enemies is how they use this same energy to move. As the ant closes its jaws, it uses them to push off the ground—all faster than the eye can see without slow motion video. A snap of the jaw can launch an ant up to 3.3 inches (8.3 centimeters) in the air. That’s like someone’s who’s five-foot-six (1.7 meters) leaping 44 feet (13 meters)!

Trap-jaw ants cover ground the same way. Not only can they quickly evade predators (enemies who want to eat them), but often a group of ants will start jumping all at once.

Imagine a lot of popcorn popping. It would be hard to grab just one. Researchers think this “popcorn” effect might help the ants escape by confusing their enemies.

People have suspected the ants used their jaws to jump for over a century, but could only prove it with today’s modern video equipment.

谁能帮我翻译一下这段英文要准确的好的.

Which animal has the fastest snapping jaw? If you’re guessing a shark or perhaps an alligator, you’ll have to think smaller.
什么动物拥有撕咬速度最快的强壮下颚?如果这时你脑子里出现的是鲨鱼或者短吻鳄的话,那请试着考虑一些个头小些的动物。

The trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus bauri), which lives in Central and South America, moves its mandibles (mouth parts) at 115 to 207 feet (35 to 63 meters) per second.
陷阱颚蚁(Odontomachus bauri)是一种生活在美洲中南部的的蚂蚁,它们活动下颚(嘴的一部分)的速度在每秒115到207英尺(35到63米)

Another way to think about this is that the ant’s jaws close at 78 to 145 miles per hour (125 to 233 kilometers per hour). That’s 2,300 times faster than the blink of an eye.
也就是说这种蚂蚁的颚的咬合速度在每小时78到145英里(每小时125到233公里),是眨眼睛速度的2300倍。

Scientists were able to measure the amazing jaw speed using high-speed video techniques.
科学家已经可以使用高速摄影技术来计算颚的惊人速度。

Sheila Patek, assistant professor of integrative biology at the University of California,Berkeley, says the key is that the jaws have a pair of latches: “Having a latch system is critical in obtaining explosive speeds.”
Sheila Patek,加州大学伯克利分校的生物学助教,提到关键在于这种颚有一对“闩子”她说:“拥有一个“闩子”系统是获得这种爆炸性速度的关键。”

Consider a bow and arrow. If you try to throw an arrow with your arm, it won’t go very far.If you use a bow, elastic energy stored in the bow is released almost instantly when you release the arrow with your finger or a latch.
想象一下弓箭。如果你尝试用手把箭扔出去,肯定扔不了多远。如果你用的是弓的话,当你松开手或者闩子把箭射出时弓上蓄积的弹力瞬间就被释放出来。

The combination of the springy bow and latch mechanism is what makes the arrow zoom through the air. “That’s exactly what really fast organisms are doing,” says Patek.
有弹力的弓和“闩子”结构的组合是让箭在空中急速穿过的原因。“毫无疑问那正是有加速功能的组织起的作用”Patek说。

Maybe even more amazing than how fast these ants grab food or even enemies is how they use this same energy to move. As the ant closes its jaws, it uses them to push off the ground—all faster than the eye can see without slow motion video. A snap of the jaw can launch an ant up to 3.3 inches (8.3 centimeters) in the air. That’s like someone’s who’s five-foot-six (1.7 meters) leaping 44 feet (13 meters)!
也许这些蚂蚁如何使用颚来移动要比它们快速的抓取食物甚至攻击敌人更能让你感到惊叹,它使用颚来推地面的动作快到你不通过慢动作回放就不可能看清楚。颚的一次咬合可以把一只蚂蚁在空中弹出3.3英寸(8.3厘米)。相当于一个5尺6的人(1.7米)一纵跃过44英尺(13米)!

Trap-jaw ants cover ground the same way. Not only can they quickly evade predators (enemies who want to eat them), but often a group of ants will start jumping all at once.
陷阱颚蚁用同样的方法移动。它们不只可以快速的躲过食肉动物(它们的天敌),而且通常一群蚂蚁会一起起跳。

Imagine a lot of popcorn popping. It would be hard to grab just one. Researchers think this “popcorn” effect might help the ants escape by confusing their enemies.
想象一下很多爆米花蹦起来的样子,哪怕想抓住一个都很难,研究人员认为这种“爆米花”的效果也许帮助蚂蚁迷惑敌人趁机逃脱。

People have suspected the ants used their jaws to jump for over a century, but could only prove it with today’s modern video equipment.
一个世纪以来人们一直在猜测蚂蚁使用颚来跳跃,不过今天通过先进的摄影设备证实了这一点。

哪个动物有最快速的攫取的下颌? 或许如果猜测鲨鱼或鳄鱼, you’ll的you’re必须认为更小。

The设陷井下颌蚂蚁(Odontomachus bauri),在中美洲和南美洲住,移动它的下颚骨(口部)在115到207英尺(35到63米)每秒。

Another方式考虑是ant’s下颌关闭在78到145英里每小时(每个小时125到233公里)。 That’s 2,300比眨眼快速地计时。
使用高速录影技术, Scientists能测量惊人的下颌速度。

Sheila Patek,在加州大学的综合生物助理教授,伯克利,说钥匙是下颌有一个对门闩: “Having门闩系统是重要的在获得易爆的speeds.”

Consider弓箭。 如果您设法投掷与您的胳膊的一个箭头,它won’t非常去。 如果您使用一把弓,几乎立即发布在弓存放的弹性能量,当您发布与您的手指或门闩时的箭头。
松软的弓和门闩装置的The组合是什么做箭头通过空气迅速移动。 确切“That’s什么真正地快速的有机体做着, ”说Patek。
令人惊讶的Maybe比这些蚂蚁多快劫掠食物甚至敌人是他们怎么使用这同样能量移动。 当蚂蚁关闭它的下颌,它比眼睛能看到,不用慢动作录影使用他们快速地推挤ground—all。 下颌的短冷期可能发射蚂蚁3.3英寸(8.3厘米)在天空中。 That’s喜欢飞跃44英尺(13米)的someone’s who’s五英尺六(1.7米)!

Trap-jaw蚂蚁盖子研了同一个方式。 不仅可以他们迅速逃避想要吃他们)的掠食性动物(敌人,但是一个小组蚂蚁经常将开始同时跳跃。

Imagine很多玉米花流行。 劫掠一是难。 研究员认为这个“popcorn”作用也许帮助蚂蚁通过混淆他们的敌人逃脱。

People怀疑蚂蚁使用他们的下颌跳在一个世纪,但是可能只证明它用today’s现代视频器材

Which animal has the fastest snapping jaw? If you’re guessing a shark or perhaps an alligator, you’ll have to think smaller.
哪种动物有咬得最快的嘴?如果你猜一只鲨鱼或者是短吻鳄,你必须要再从更小的动物方面想。

The trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus bauri), which lives in Central and South America, moves its mandibles (mouth parts) at 115 to 207 feet (35 to 63 meters) per second.
有一种trap-jaw蚂蚁(大齿猛蚁),住在美洲中部和南部,它活动它的下颚(嘴部)速度可达到115-207尺/秒(35-63米/小时)。

Another way to think about this is that the ant’s jaws close at 78 to 145 miles per hour (125 to 233 kilometers per hour). That’s 2,300 times faster than the blink of an eye.
另一个感受它的说法是蚂蚁合上它的嘴巴速度达到78-145英里/小时(125-233千米/小时)。那是你眨眼速度的2300倍。

Scientists were able to measure the amazing jaw speed using high-speed video techniques.
科学家可通过使用高倍摄像机来测量下颚可怕的速度。

Sheila Patek, assistant professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley, says the key is that the jaws have a pair of latches: “Having a latch system is critical in obtaining explosive speeds.”
伯克利加利福尼亚大学的综合生物学助理教授Sheila Patek,说关键是嘴巴有一对门闩,“那门闩系统对得到爆炸性的速度是关键的。”

Consider a bow and arrow. If you try to throw an arrow with your arm, it won’t go very far. If you use a bow, elastic energy stored in the bow is released almost instantly when you release the arrow with your finger or a latch.
就像一副弓箭,如果你用你的手臂全力扔箭,它不会扔得很远。如果你用弓的话,当你的手指或插销放开了箭,储存在弓的弹性势能几乎马上被释放出来。

The combination of the springy bow and latch mechanism is what makes the arrow zoom through the air. “That’s exactly what really fast organisms are doing,” says Patek.
有弹性的弓跟门闩系统会使箭飞驰在空中。Patek说:“那就是快速有机组织在做的事情。”

Maybe even more amazing than how fast these ants grab food or even enemies is how they use this same energy to move. As the ant closes its jaws, it uses them to push off the ground—all faster than the eye can see without slow motion video. A snap of the jaw can launch an ant up to 3.3 inches (8.3 centimeters) in the air. That’s like someone’s who’s five-foot-six (1.7 meters) leaping 44 feet (13 meters)!
可能相对于这些蚂蚁有多快捕获到食物跟敌人的事上,更令人惊讶的是他们怎样利用这些能量去迅速移动。当蚂蚁合上它的嘴巴时,它利用这把自己抛离地面,这过程没有慢动作录像,肉眼是看不清的。一个快速咬的嘴可以将一只蚂蚁发射离地面3.3英寸(8.3厘米)的空中。那就像5尺6(1.7米)高的人弹跳44尺(13米)高。

Trap-jaw ants cover ground the same way. Not only can they quickly evade predators (enemies who want to eat them), but often a group of ants will start jumping all at once.
同样Trap-jaw蚂蚁占满地面时,它们不仅可以快速逃避食肉动物(想吃它们的敌人),它们一群蚂蚁还会同时跳起来。

Imagine a lot of popcorn popping. It would be hard to grab just one. Researchers think this “popcorn” effect might help the ants escape by confusing their enemies.
想象很多爆玉米花蹦来蹦去的时候,很难抓住其中一颗。研究者认为“爆玉米花”效应可以帮助通过迷惑敌人而帮助蚂蚁逃走。

People have suspected the ants used their jaws to jump for over a century, but could only prove it with today’s modern video equipment.
人们猜想蚂蚁可以用它们的嘴巴跳已经有一个世纪多了,不过直到今天的现代摄影设备才证实了人们的猜想。

这些动物的下颚最快的抢购?如果你猜鲨鱼或鳄鱼,你得想较小。

陷阱照蚂蚁( Odontomachus bauri ) ,其中生活在中美洲和南美洲,其颌骨动作(口部分)在115至207英尺( 35至63米)每秒。

另一种方式思考这个问题的是,蚂蚁的下巴收在78至145英里每小时( 125至233公里左右) 。这是2300倍一眨眼的工夫。

科学家们能够测量速度惊人的下巴用高速视频技术。

希拉百助理教授综合生物学加州大学伯克利分校说,关键是颌骨有一对锁存: “有一个门闩系统是至关重要的获得爆炸性的速度。 ”

考虑弓和箭。如果您尝试将抛出一个箭头与您的手臂,它不会走得很远。如果您使用的弓,弹性能量储存在船头被释放时,几乎立即释放你的箭头与您的手指或闭锁。

相结合的弹性弓和闩机制就是使箭头变焦镜头,通过空气。 “这正是非常快做生物体说, ”百达翡。

也许更为惊人的速度比这些蚂蚁抓粮食,甚至敌人是他们如何使用相同的能源动议。正如蚂蚁关闭其颌骨,它使用了他们推动了地面速度比所有的眼睛可以看到的慢动作影片。的快速颌骨可以发射蚂蚁多达3.3英寸( 8.3厘米)在空气中。这就像某人的谁是5英尺6 ( 1.7米)跨越44英尺( 13米) !

陷阱下巴蚂蚁覆盖地面以同样的方式。这不仅可以迅速逃避天敌(敌人谁想吃人) ,但往往是一组蚂蚁将开始跳一次。

想象一下,很多爆米花出现。这将是很难抓一个。研究人员认为这种“爆米花”效应可能会帮助蚂蚁逃走的困惑他们的敌人。

人们怀疑蚂蚁用他们的颌骨跳了一个多世纪,但只能证明它与今天的现代视频设备。
