Listen to part of a lecture in a biology class.
請(qǐng)聽生物學(xué)課上的部分內(nèi)容。
I’d like to continue our discussion of animal behavior, and start off today’s class by focusing on a concept we haven’t yet touched upon: swarm intelligence.
我想繼續(xù)討論動(dòng)物行為，并通過關(guān)注一個(gè)我們還沒觸及的概念開始今天的課程，那就是群體智能。
Swarm intelligence is a collective behavior that emerges from a group of animals like a colony of termites, a school of fish, or a flock of birds.
群體智能是一種出現(xiàn)在一群動(dòng)物中的集體行為，比如一群白蟻，一群魚或一群鳥。
Let’s first consider the principles behind swarm intelligence and we’ll use the ant as our model.
我們首先來看看群體智能背后的一些原則，我們就用螞蟻?zhàn)鳛榉独伞?/div>
Now, an ant on its own is not that smart, when you have a group of ants, however, there you have efficiency in action, you see, there is no leader running an ant colony.
單獨(dú)的一只螞蟻并沒有那么聰明，但是有了一群螞蟻就有了高效的行動(dòng)，其實(shí)并沒有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者管理蟻群。
Each individual, each individual ant operates by instinctively following a simple set of rules when foraging for food.
每只螞蟻在搜尋食物時(shí)，通過下意識(shí)地遵從一套簡(jiǎn)單的規(guī)則來進(jìn)行作業(yè)。
Rule number one: deposit a chemical marker called a pheromone, and rule two: follow the strongest pheromone path.
規(guī)則一：留下一種叫做費(fèi)洛蒙的化學(xué)標(biāo)志；規(guī)則二：沿著費(fèi)洛蒙最強(qiáng)烈的那條路走。
The strongest pheromone path is advantageous to ants seeking food.
對(duì)尋找食物的螞蟻來說，費(fèi)洛蒙最強(qiáng)烈的那條路非常有利。
