Red symbolizes love. So， what’s the deal with bulls not loving the color red？You might think that bulls go crazy when they see a red cape since the color isalso associated1 with anger. Well， in this article， you’ll know whether that’s afact or a myth2.

紅色象征著愛(ài)。那么，公牛不喜歡紅色是怎么回事呢？你可能會(huì)認(rèn)為公?？吹郊t色斗篷會(huì)發(fā)瘋是因?yàn)檫@種顏色也與憤怒有關(guān)。好吧，在這篇文章中，你會(huì)弄明白這是事實(shí)還是謬見(jiàn)。

為什么公牛如此好斗

A lot of it comes down to gender. Testosterone4 levels are higher in male mammals5， which is why bulls are moreaggressive than cows.

Bulls aren’t just aggressive because oftestosterone， though. They’re highly territorial6creatures that will fight anything thatthey feel is encroaching7 on their turf8.

That said， there are ways to get aroundbulls’aggression. For example， farmers oftenput nose rings on their bulls. This greatlyhelps reduce the danger of being around thesedangerous animals， allowing them to controlthe bulls from a safe distance.

這在很大程度上取決于性別。雄性哺乳動(dòng)物的睪酮水平更高，這就是為什么公牛比母牛更具攻擊性的原因。

公牛的攻擊性不僅僅是因?yàn)椴G酮。它們是高度領(lǐng)地性的生物，會(huì)與任何它們認(rèn)為侵占它們地盤(pán)的東西作斗爭(zhēng)。

但是，有一些方法可以解決公牛的攻擊性。例如，農(nóng)民經(jīng)常給公牛戴上鼻環(huán)。這大大有助于減輕與這些危險(xiǎn)動(dòng)物相處的危險(xiǎn)，使它們能夠在安全距離之外控制公牛。

那么紅色會(huì)讓公牛生氣嗎

To put it simply， the answer is no！Instead， it’s because of the aggressive whipping9 of the cape.

The reason why red couldn’t possiblybe what makes bulls angry is that they can’teven see the color.

The bulls are dichromatic10 creatures，and it causes them to have trouble differentiating11 red from green.

If you’re wondering how bullsperceive12 the color red， itappears as a mix betweenyellow and grey.

簡(jiǎn)單地說(shuō)，答案是否定的！相反，公牛生氣是因?yàn)槎放裉翎吺降目焖僖苿?dòng)。

紅色不可能是公牛憤怒的原因是它們甚至看不出這種顏色。

公牛是二色視覺(jué)動(dòng)物，這導(dǎo)致它們難以區(qū)分紅色和綠色。

如果你想知道公牛是怎樣感知紅色的，它（在公牛眼中）看起來(lái)是介于黃色和灰色之間的混合色。

那么袁為什么斗牛士要穿紅色斗篷呢

The red cape that bullfighters use inbullfights is called a muleta13. The originsof it go back to 1726 when a Spanishmatador named Francisco Romero introducedit to the world of bullfighting. It’sused in the final stage of a Spanish-stylebullfight， wherein bulls are finished offwith a sword.

Of course， bullfights can be rather bloodyevents. And when you come to think of it， thismakes red a logical choice for the cape.

The color red can conceal14 thebloodstains of bulls， so it’s also much easier toclean the cape afterward.

For most of the fight， though，bullfighters use a different cape that’scolored pink on the outside and yellowon the inside.

斗牛士在斗牛中使用的紅色斗篷被稱為斗牛紅布。它的起源可以追溯到1726 年，當(dāng)時(shí)一位名叫弗朗西斯科·羅梅羅的西班牙斗牛士將其引入斗牛界。它被用于西班牙式斗牛的最后階段，在那個(gè)時(shí)候，公牛會(huì)被用劍殺死。

當(dāng)然，斗牛是相當(dāng)血腥的事件。仔細(xì)想想，斗牛斗篷選擇紅色也就順理成章了。

紅色可以掩蓋公牛的血跡，所以之后清洗斗篷也容易得多。

不過(guò)，在大部分斗牛過(guò)程中，斗牛士們使用了不同的斗篷，外面是粉紅色的，里面是黃色的。

結(jié)論

Bulls getting angry when they see a red cape is a myth. They don’t even seered the same way we do！ It’s the waving motion of the cape that triggers the bullto attack. And the red capes are really good at hiding blood stains！

公?？吹揭患t色斗篷就發(fā)怒是個(gè)謬見(jiàn)。它們甚至不能像我們那樣看到紅色！是斗篷的揮舞動(dòng)作觸發(fā)了公牛的進(jìn)攻。紅色斗篷真的很能隱藏血跡！
