　　關于大象的英文閱讀：為什么大象的毛發很稀疏?

　　Hair helps keep you warm, right? But hair can also keep you cooler than bare skin, as long as the hair is not too thick. So says a study in the journal PLoS ONE.

　　毛發能幫助身體保暖，對嗎?然而只要毛發不是太厚，其散熱效果甚至比裸露的皮膚更強。一項發表在《公共科學圖書館·綜合》雜志上的研究如是說道。

　　Researchers studied elephants, which have very thin coats of hair. It's easy for the beasts to overheat: they may face temperatures of up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and they don't have much skin surface area to radiate the heat relative to their big body volume.

　　研究人員以毛發稀疏的大象作為研究對象。野生動物總是很容易就身體過熱：它們的體溫可能超過120華氏攝氏度，而且能夠輻射熱量的皮膚表面積也不多。

　　That's where the hair comes in. The researchers wrote equations modeling the elephants' hairy skin. As they expected, thick hair traps air and keeps the body warm. But below a certain density, hair stops insulating and wicks heat off the body instead—helping the elephants get rid of an extra 20 percent of their body heat, especially on windless days.

　　這時毛發就派上用場了。研究人員編寫了程序，建立了大象的體表毛發模型。正如他們所預期的，厚毛發隔絕空氣，使身體保持溫暖。但當毛發密度低于一定程度時就不再隔熱，而是散發身體的熱量——大象可通過這種方式散發20%的身體熱量，尤其是在無風的日子里。

　　Heat sinks inside computers work in a similar way, with pins sticking up to help dissipate the interior heat.

　　電腦內部的散熱器就是以類似的方式，利用突出的插腳幫助內核散熱。

　　The researchers speculate that hair may have actually evolved to help animals stay cool, because it first sprouted in mammals over a hundred million years ago in a hot climate. Hair-raising times, indeed.

　　研究而人員推測，進化出毛發是為了保持身體涼爽，因為毛發是在一億年前炎熱的季節首次在哺乳動物身上生長的。真是“毛骨悚然”的時代。
