凌哥英语（Linglish），值得置顶的公众号
英语专业毕业的，没有几个人不知道乔老爷的，也就是大名鼎鼎的乔姆斯基，全名Avram Noam Chomsky。说来你不信，在百度文库中，乔姆斯基被称为是“哲学家”，然后着重介绍他在语言学方面的工作。
不过，维基百科给他的头衔可多了：语言学家、哲学家、认知科学家、历史学家、社会评论员、政治活动家。让你惊呆了，有木有？有兴趣的微友，可以百度一下“乔姆斯基”。
更让人惊讶的是，乔姆斯基还有一个弟弟。
＂啥，我没听说过啊！＂
那是你孤陋寡闻咯！
告诉你，乔姆斯基的弟弟是一只猩猩！
呃，呃，凌哥你这玩笑开大了。
嘿嘿，Nim Chimpsky，是实验人员给一只猩猩取的名字。是语言学科研人员仿照Noam Chomsky取的名，搞笑不？
下面就来说说乔大爷他弟弟吧。
尼姆·钦普斯基生1973年11月9日，卒2000年3月10日。是哥伦比亚大学用于研究动物语言习得的一只猩猩。
以下插入英文内容（阅读英语有困难的微友，请跳跃而过）。为了方便理解，凌哥将比较深奥的单词注释了一下。凌哥，震惊视频呢？在最后咯！
Nim Chimpsky (November 19, 1973 – March 10, 2000) was a chimpanzee who was the subject of an extended study of animal language acquisition（语言习得） at Columbia University, led by Herbert S. Terrace; the linguistic analysis was led by the psycholinguist（心理语言学家） Thomas Bever. Chimpsky was given his name as a pun on Noam Chomsky, a leading theorist on human language structure and generative grammar（生成性语法）, who holds that humans are "wired" to develop language. Though usually called Nim Chimpsky, his full name was Neam Chimpsky, or Nim for short.
The validity（有效度） of the study is disputed, as Terrace argued that all ape-language studies, including Project Nim, were based on misinformation from the chimps. R. Allen and Beatrix Gardner made a similar earlier study, called Project Washoe, in which another chimpanzee was raised like a human child. Washoe was given affection（人性关怀） and participated in everyday social activity with her adoptive family. Her ability to communicate was far more developed than Nim's. Washoe lived 24 hours a day with her human family from birth. Nim at 2 weeks old was raised by a family in a home environment by human surrogate parents（代理父母）, as part of a study "conceived（构思） in the early 1970s as a challenge to Chomsky's thesis（论文） that only humans have language", but whose "data, along with data from other studies, yielded no evidence of an ape's ability to use a grammar". Both chimps could use fragments （片段）of American Sign Language（美国手语） to make themselves understood.
你是不是想知道Nim是否学会了人类的语言？上面的文字已经说了啊：(whose) data, along with data from other studies, yielded no evidence of an ape's ability to use a grammar（实验数据，以及其他研究数据没有获得证据证明猿类具有使用语法的能力）。

最后，附上一个让人震惊的视频，有一只猩猩的短时记忆能力比我们大部分人类要强得多（大部分人只能记住7个随机事物）。这只猩猩不仅能记住顺序，还能记住位置。
