  …作者是 Richard Muller。它概述了物理学，重点强调了为什么这些概念在现代世界如此重要，而不是纠结于数学细节。如果她对生物学感兴趣，可以考虑 Temple Grandin 的《Animals in Translation》。这本书谈动物多过谈技术，但它涉及到了理解动物如何影响你用来驯导它们的低技术系统。要找既有趣又轻松的入门读物…

  …by Richard Muller. It gives an overview of physics, emphasizing why the concepts are important in the modern world, rather than the math details. If she's interested in biology, you might consider "Animals in Translation" by Temple Grandin. It's more about animals than about technology, but it touches on how understanding animals affects the low-tech systems that you use to handle them. For interesting/easy intros to…

  …“除非是为了促使其更加专注，否则无法以理性方式思考。”我觉得这很可能是我上面所描述现象的表征，而非根本原因。如果你想看更透彻的解释，可以读读 Temple Grandin 的《Animals in Translation》。这本书是一位自闭症女性写的，她发现自己拥有一种理解动物的惊人天赋。基本上她能够看出来是哪些刺激在引发…

  …think in a rational manner unless it was to cause him/her to focus on things more." I think this is probably a symptom of what I described above, rather than the root cause. Read Temple Grandin's book Animals in Translation if you want a better account. The book is written by an autistic woman who discovered that she has a really uncanny ability to understand animals. Basically she is able to see which stimuli are causing…

  高智商带来的坏处很可能是单一性状选择造成的，而非额外智力本身所致。Temple Grandin 的《Animals In Translation》里有一章专门讨论这个。这本书洞见多得离谱。

  The disadvantage of intelligence is probably due to single trait selection and not the extra intelligence itself. Temple Grandin's book Animals In Translation has a chapter about this. Ridiculously insightful book too.

  …“无法被有效地一概而论。”如果你去读有关人工选择育种的文献，就会发现他们有一整套完备的方法体系来规避遗传问题。如果你只是想快速了解一下，Temple Grandin 的《Animals in Translation》里有几个章节聊这个，写得非常有意思。

  …can't be usefully generalized." If you read the literature on selective breeding they have extensive methodologies for avoiding genetic problems. If you just want a quick overview, Temple Grandin's book "Animals in Translation" has a couple of really entertaining chapters on the subject.

  …《For the Love of a Dog》。Stanley Coren 也有几本讲犬类智力的书写得相当不错。这些书都专注于去理解你描述的那类体验。更宏观一点的话，Temple Grandin 的《Animals in Translation》和《Animals Make Us Human》也探讨了这类问题，不仅限于狗，还涉及猫、马、猪等等。我想你会发现针对这些课题有很多研究正在进行——…

  …Love of a Dog". Stanley Coren also has some decent books on dog intelligence. These books focus on trying to understand the sorts of experiences you've described. More generally, Temple Grandin's "Animals in Translation" and "Animals Make Us Human" talk about some of these sorts of issues, not just in dogs, but also in cats, horses, pigs, and so on. I think you'll find there's a lot of research going on these topics--…

  …改变了这两个物种。通过共同狩猎，双方在进化中都强化了各自在合作中的优势，并退化了不再需要的东西。Temple Grandin 在《Animals in Translation》中对此有一番精彩的探讨。有些科学家甚至认为，正是我们祖先与狗之间的共生关系，让他们在竞争中胜过了像尼安德特人这样的其他群体。狗能够通过……看破人类的心智状态

  …changed both species. By hunting together, each evolved to emphasize their strengths in the partnership, and lost things they no longer needed. There is a good discussion of this in Temple Grandin's "Animals in Translation". Some scientists even think it was our ancestor's symbiotic relationship with dogs that let them outcompete other groups such as Neanderthals. Dogs are able to figure out human states of mind from…
