After a while the weather cleared up a little ， and the beetle was able to rub the water from his eyes ， and look about him.

后来，雨小了一些。屎壳郎眨眨眼，甩掉蒙在眼上的雨水。

The extraordinary strength of many of the beetles is due to their unusual mating arrangements.

屎壳郎的惊人力量源于它们特殊的交配。

They measured the strength they pulled using a pulley and water, and recorded the amazing feat.

结果，研究人员通过测量先前借助滑轮和水产生的拉力，得到了屎壳郎本身力量的惊人数据。

Away flew the beetle ， straight through the open window of a large building ； there he sank down ， tired and exhausted ， exactly on the mane of the emperor's favorite horse ， who was standing in his stable ； and the beetle found himself at home again.

屎壳郎便从一扇开着的窗子，一下子飞进一个高大的建筑里面。在里面，它精疲力尽地落到站在马厩里的皇帝宠马的柔软的长鬃毛上，那匹马和屎壳郎的家正在那里。

Onthophagus taurus's amazing feats of strength are chronicled by Knell and Professor Leigh Simmons of the University of Western Australia in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

有关屎壳郎惊人力量的研究报告由克奈尔和西澳大学的雷•西蒙斯教授共同撰写，已在《皇家学会学报B类》上发表（译者注：B类指的是生物科学领域）。

For the experiment, researchers tried to simulate the beetle's natural environment. Then, by simply gluing a piece of thread to the beetle's back and pulling on it, researcher's activated the beetle's instinct to fight back and pull in the opposite direction.

在实验中，研究人员尝试模拟屎壳郎的自然生存环境，随后在其背上粘了一条线，并借助滑轮和水将屎壳郎向后拉，研究发现，屎壳郎本能的向相反的方向反抗。

Then he dreamed that the emperor's horse was dying ， and had left him his golden shoes ， and also promised that he should have two more.

很快它便睡熟了，梦见皇帝的马蹄坏了，屎壳郎先生得到了它的金掌，还得到允诺可以再得到两只。

Even weaker members of the species have a compensating trait in evolutionary terms& huge testicles which increase their chances of fertilising a female.

但物种中即便“体质”较弱的在进化过程中也了补偿性特质，即巨大的睾丸，特征会增大它们与雌性屎壳郎交配的几率。

When they saw him they took him up and turned him over and over ， looking very learned all the time ， especially one ， who was a boy.

他们看到了这只屎壳郎，把它抓了起来，把它翻过来又复过去。两人都博学多识，特别是那个男孩子。

The beetle woke up with the noise and would have been glad to creep into the earth for shelter ， but he could not.

雨点声把屎壳郎吵醒了，它立刻就想钻到地里去，但是没有办到。

Even weaker members of the species have a compensating trait in evolutionary terms--huge testicles which increase their chances of fertilising a female.

很多这种屎壳郎的惊人力量源于它们特殊的交配形式。但这一物种中即便“体质”较弱的成员在进化过程中也形成了一种补偿性特质，即巨大的睾丸，这一特征会增大它们与雌性屎壳郎交配成功的几率。

One type of beetle rolls the dung into balls for use as a food source, others bury the dung wherever they find it, and others are dwellers who simply live in manure.

有的屎壳郎惯于把粪便滚成球留作食物储备，有的则惯于在发现粪便的地方将其掩埋起来，还有的甚至是居住在粪堆里的。

New research shows that dung beetles can actually navigate via the Milky Way. They are the first and only known species in the animal kingdom to do this.

最新研究发现，屎壳郎是动物界里目前发现的唯一能穿越银河系的动物。

The dung beetle is the world's strongest insect. When talking about proportional strength, the dung beetle is also far and away the strongest animal on the planet.

屎壳郎是世界上最强的昆虫——如果按体重和负重比例来算，屎壳郎无疑是地球上最强大的动物。

Scientists in London conducted an experiment and found that Onthophagus Taurus dung beetles could pull an astonishing 1141 times their own body weight.

伦敦的科学家在实验中惊奇地发现，屎壳郎能拖动相当于其身体重量1141倍的物体。
