现实版猩球崛起！一只会刷朋友圈的黑猩猩
近日，美国一只黑猩猩的一段视频在社交网络走红。
视频中他拿着手机在Instagram上刷照片，还会观看视频，操作非常熟练...
这个视频转到国外Reddit论坛后就迅速火了。
The video quickly went viral after being uploaded to Reddit.
发布到推特上后，视频同样也引发了网友的广泛热议。
Twitter has been flooded with a whole range of reactions to it.
推主@comlymer认为他挺酷的，不过也是被吓到了(was creeped out)。
推主@jzeig104提到会转给还在用翻盖手机（flip phone）的朋友。（然后应该会送朋友一句：你落伍了，你看这位老兄都用上触屏了！）。
推主@kelbwagner似乎给他指一条财路：“教我妈妈怎么用智能手机，报酬绝对丰厚”。
推主@pro_ject_期待他来个“双击”（double tap）。
推主@kelbwagner提到了“短信脖”（text neck），这只黑猩猩一直保持手机与眼睛在一个水平线。（给所有“低头族”做了好的示范
）
最后来说说关于"猩猩"的英文表达。
一般来说，没有尾巴的猴子称为类人猿（ape），常见的四种是大猩猩、黑猩猩、猩猩和长臂猿。
黑猩猩（chimpanzee）
这次刷手机的这位就是黑猩猩，英文可简称为chimp。黑猩猩被认为是世界上仅次于人类最聪明的物种。
大猩猩（gorilla）
电影《金刚》中的主角就是大猩猩，通常体型壮硕、脾气暴躁。不过人家是个吃素的，最爱果实，树叶和树根。
猩猩（orangutan）
猩猩又称红毛猩猩，它的基因和人类相似度高达96.4%，非常聪明，爱搞笑，过去常常出现在喜剧电影里。
后来因爱动物团体抗议，红毛猩猩逐渐消失在娱乐圈。
长臂猿（gibbon）
顾名思义，长臂猿手臂特别长，他们的身高只有不到一米，但是臂展却可达一米五。

Footage of an ape using a smartphone while curiously scrolling through Instagram shows the phrase ‘even a monkey can do it’ might be a little dated.
The video quickly went viral after being uploaded to Reddit this morning with users saying it could be used to persuade their older relatives to try a smartphone.
indy100:
A monkey has been filmed browsing Instagram, and people on the internet are collectively losing their minds.
The one-minute clip, which went viral on Reddit and then was quickly shared to Twitter, appears to show a particularly precocious chimpanzee scrolling through the popular social media app, clicking on photographs, viewing profiles, and even watching videos.
Market Watch:
Give a chimp a shiny object and entertain him for a day. Teach him to use Instagram, and he just might stalk his exes, suffer FOMO and never leave his room. In other words, chimps, they’re just like us.
Look no further than this viral footage of one inquisitive ape swiping through posts on an iPhone with all the agility of your addicted kid.
