Ask Mark Twain to become a translation of the famous jumping frog

"Jumping Frog" by Mark Twain

In Mark Twain's "The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," a frog named Daniel Webster is adept at jumping. Now, scientists have visited Calaveras County in the United States in the hope of learning more about this jumping amphibian. They found that what they observed in the lab often didn't correspond to the real world.

If you're wondering how far a bullfrog can jump, the scientific literature will give you the answer: meters, a number published in the Smithsonian Institution's Zoological Papers in 1978. If you look at the Guinness Book of World Records, you'll find a different answer.

In 1986, a bullfrog named Rosie the Ribeter jumped three meters – if this number was divided by three, it jumped at least one meter each time.

If bullfrogs can only jump meters, then their muscles have enough energy to complete the jump without other anatomical help. If they can jump farther, they must use elastic tendons to help them jump — an ability that researchers have found in other frogs, but they don't think bullfrogs have.

As a result, the researchers speculate that these particular amphibians may have had some evolutionary compromises: shorter jumps but better able to swim in the water.

To find out, the researchers turned to Calaveras County. Decades ago, the locals held an annual frog jumping festival. Now, anyone can participate:

Rent a bullfrog and try to jump it. This is also where Rosie the Ribeter broke records.

The researchers photographed the bullfrog jumping at high speed**, and they measured the distance it traveled with each jump. Of the 3,124 jumps they recorded, 58% of the cheating bumps exceeded the meter. A sturdy bullfrog even jumped a meter in one jump.

The discrepancy between the longest leap in the scientific literature and the record in reality suggests that scientists may be wrong. The team said previous scientists thought they had achieved the longest distance of a bullfrog jump in the lab. But that's not the case.

Summary. The article mainly expresses the satire of some gambling people in society, a very interesting one**. "The Famous Jumping Frog in Calaveras County" tells the story of a gambler in Cara County, USA, who trained a frog that could jump very high, and he often gambled with people for money, winning almost every time.

One day, he met a passer-by and insisted on a frog jumping competition, so he found a frog for strangers who did not have frogs. The stranger took advantage of his outing to look for frogs and stuffed his frog's belly with iron sand for bird-hunting. Of course, his frog couldn't jump, and passers-by won the game and a big bet.
