called the phenomenon “the selfish herd,” arguing that herds form when each animal tries to put itself into the middle of a group.
称这种动物个体试图置身群体之中的现象为“自群”
2. 事实上，近期的研究发现：相对于食物，与狒狒或豹子碰面的危险更能决定当地是否有猴子出没。
3. the landscape of fear 令人畏惧的地方 landscape 地貌 这不是固定搭配，联系上下文理解就是了。
4. Still, investing in Haiti, those who operate in the country say, is not for the faint of heart.
就像那些这个国家的当权者说的那样，在海地投资不适合心理脆弱的人。
not for the faint of heart -- not for the people whose hearts are faint
更常见的写法是not for the faint-hearted, 这是一种戏虐的说法。
Water and power are off as much as they are on. 没水没电的时候跟有水有电的时候一样长。
