To test his " private parts for private property" hypothesis, Laidre sized up more than 300 male museum specimens, including hermit crabs that live on land and at sea.

为了验证他“私有财产私处”假说，莱德尔对 300 多个雄性博物馆标本进行了估测， 其中包括生活在陆地和海洋中蟹。

Tests on hermit crabs show that they'll leave an undesirable shell if they're zapped with electricity, but stay if it's a good shell.

对蟹实验表明， 若对其施以电击， 它们会放弃不理想壳；但若是好壳， 它们则会留下。
