The picture was taken by wildlife photographer Marsel Van Oouten, showing a monkey playing with a phone at the hot springs in Jigokudani in Japan.

"We were standing close to the edge of the hot spring when one of the tourists started taking shots with her iPhone. Suddenly, the macaque grabbed the iPhone from her hands — and quickly moved away towards the middle of the hot spring," Marsel said.

"Meanwhile, I was fully aware that this would result in some of the most original snow monkey shots ever."

這張照片由攝影師馬賽爾·范·歐斯汀拍攝，照片里，一只猴子在日本的地域谷溫泉里邊泡溫泉邊玩手機(jī)。

馬賽爾說道，“我們都站在溫泉的岸邊，這時(shí)有一位游客在用她的iPhone拍照。突然，那只猴子從她手里拿走了iPhone，然后快速移動(dòng)到了溫泉的中央?！?/p>

“與此同時(shí)，我意識(shí)到，這是拍攝雪猴原始照片的最佳時(shí)機(jī)了?！?/p>

【講解】

文中的hot spring就是“溫泉”的意思，其中spring作名詞，意為“泉水;春天;彈力”，如：mineral spring(礦泉);人們普遍認(rèn)為，溫泉有治療某些慢性病(chronic illness )和養(yǎng)生保健(healthcare)的作用，如：On a cold winter day, a hot spring can be very inviting.(在寒冷的冬日，溫泉實(shí)在非常誘人。)

本文中提到的snow monkey(雪猴)屬于靈長(zhǎng)類動(dòng)物(primate)，相關(guān)的動(dòng)物還有：大猩猩(gorilla)，長(zhǎng)臂猿(hylobates)，狒狒(babnoon)等。
