Some of the behaviors appropriate for sex are apparently similar to those for aggression, and the two can become confused.
顯然，動物的一些交配行為與暴力行為相似，并且二者極易混淆。
Another example is tropical fish, which use their coloration to show sexual receptiveness.
再以熱帶魚為例，它們通過身體顏色顯示交配的意愿。
The female display for sexual readiness can look a lot like the male display for aggression.
雌性魚準備交配時顯示的顏色與雄性熱帶魚發起攻擊時很像。
The biologist Konrad Lorenz has documented how frequently the male fish will become angered and charge the female, or another nearby male, displaying all the behaviors appropriate to aggression rather than courtship.
生物學家康拉德·洛倫茲（Konrad Lorenz）記錄下雄性熱帶魚攻擊雌魚或周圍雄魚的頻率，結果顯示這些行為更像是一場暴力，而非求愛行為。
This kind of link between sex and violence is seen through many different species, and we may wonder if human beings don’t share a little in the confusion.
性與暴力之間的聯系在很多不同物種間都存在，我們可能會好奇人類對此是否也會產生混淆。
If so, it’s up to us to distinguish very carefully between what’s passion and what’s aggression.
如果是的話，那么我們需要謹慎區分何為激情何為暴力。
