Clever chimpanzee, 18, washes clothes for his keeper after watching the zoo worker doing the chore

聪明的黑猩猩：看完动物园工作人员洗衣服后，黑猩猩帮其饲养员洗衣服

Chimpanzees are known for their intelligence.

黑猩猩素以聪明为人熟知。

And one such primate has stunned his keeper after being spotted washing clothes in his enclosure.

一只黑猩猩被发现在圈里洗衣服，他的饲养员惊呆了。

Yuhui, an 18-year-old male chimpanzee living in China, spent half an hour cleaning a white T-shirt with a brush and a bar of soap, his keeper said.

这只名叫宇辉的雄性黑猩猩今年18岁，生活在。据饲养员介绍，他用刷子和肥皂清洗一件白色T恤，洗了半小时。

The animal was caught doing the chore last Friday at the Lehe Ledu Theme Park in Chongqing, south-western China.

上周五，这只黑猩猩在重庆乐和乐都主题公园洗衣服时被抓拍到。

A spokesperson from the park told MailOnline that Yuhui loved watching his carer washing clothes.

公园的一名发言人告诉《每日邮报》，宇辉喜欢看他的饲养员洗衣服。

The primate has a curious nature and is very good at mimicking actions, according to the spokesperson.

据发言人介绍，这种灵长类动物天性好奇，擅长模仿动作。

Yuhui's keeper wanted to find out if the chimp had learned how to do the laundry by observation, therefore she placed a T-shirt, a brush and a bar of soap next to a small pool of water in a piece of dented rock.

宇辉的饲养员想看看这只猩猩是否学会了洗衣服，于是她把一件T恤、一把刷子和一块肥皂放在了水池边上。

As soon as Yuhui and his 17-year-old sister were let out of the building, Yuhui headed straight to the T-shirt.

宇辉和他17岁的妹妹被放出来时，宇辉径直走向T恤。

A video provided by the park shows Yuhui looking back to check on his sibling before picking up the brush and the soap.

公园提供的一段视频显示，宇辉在拿起刷子和肥皂之前，回头看了看他的妹妹。

He dipped the T-shirt in water before repeatedly rubbing the soap on it while his sister was observing him on top of a set of workout bars.

他先把T恤浸在水里，然后反复擦肥皂，而他的妹妹坐在双杆上观看。

After getting enough foam on the clothing as well as his hands, Yuhui put the T-shirt back to water to rinse before wringing it and laying it on the edge of the boulder.

衣服上的泡沫和手上的泡沫都洗干净后，宇辉把T恤放回水中冲洗，然后拧干，摊在水池边上。

He seemed to enjoy the process - so much so that he then washed the T-shirt again.

他似乎很享受这个过程，于是他又把T恤洗了一遍。

I have seen a programme on orangutans in Borneo who copy their keepers. There was one female who loved doing the washing, and given any excuse she would start scrubbing clothes with a brush in the water. This was not put on for any visitors, she had seen her keeper doing it and mimicked them.

我看过一个关于婆罗洲猩猩模仿饲养员的节目。有一只雌性猩猩喜欢洗衣服，一有机会，她就会用刷子刷衣服。这不是给游客准备的节目，她曾看到她的饲养员洗衣服，就开始模仿。

There is a video from Africa where an elephant collecting litter and putting in the bin. Animals are far more intelligent than we ever give them credit for.

有一段来自非洲的视频，一头大象收集垃圾并扔进垃圾箱。动物比我们想象的要聪明得多。

And to think these intelligent creatures are kept in jail. It's so sad. I once went to a zoo, and a gorilla looked straight into my eyes. I felt so ashamed. I'll never go back.

这些聪明的生物被关着，真令人难过。有一次我去动物园，一只大猩猩盯着我看。我感到很羞愧。我再也不去动物园了。
