　　第四段

　　①In the world of capuchins, grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). ②So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. ③And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber, or refused to accept the slice of cucumber. ④Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to induce resentment in a female capuchin.在僧帽猴的世界里，葡萄是奢侈品（而且比黄瓜更受欢迎）。因此，当一只猴子用它的代币换取了一颗葡萄时，第二只猴子却不愿意用自己的代币换取哪怕是仅仅一片黄瓜。如果，一只猴子不需要用代币就能得到一颗葡萄，那么，另一只猴子，要么将代币扔（砸）向研究人员或者直接扔出房间，要么拒绝接受那片黄瓜。事实上，仅仅是在另一个房间里放上一颗葡萄（没有任何猴子来吃它），这就足以引起雌僧帽猴的怨恨。
