With long limbs and a prehensile tail that can grip like a hand, they're built for climbing.

修长的四肢加上灵如手的卷尾，他们就是为攀爬而生的。

They looked kind of like chameleons, with grasping hands and feet, and long prehensile tails.

它们看起来有点像变色龙，有抓握的手和脚，还有长长的可以抓握的尾巴。

The feet and tail of the chameleon are also special. Both are prehensile; that is, they are both perfectly adapted to their sylvan environment.

变色龙的脚和尾巴也很特别，二者皆适于抓握；也就是说，二者皆极为适合森的环境。

Some kinds, like Megalancosaurus, even had prehensile tails, with a claw-like hook on the end that helped them hold on to branches.

有些种类，例如巨龙，甚至有可以抓握的尾巴，末端有个爪状的钩子， 可以帮助它们抓住树枝。

Prehensile tails take a lot of extra energy to operate, so it’s possible that they just aren’t useful enough to those monkeys to be worth having.

维持卷缠尾需要很多能量，所以可能不够实用而不值得拥有。

The extremity of the tail in some American monkeys has been converted into a wonderfully perfect prehensile organ, and serves as a fifth hand.

些美国猴子的尾巴末端已经变成了个非常完美的抓握器官， 并作为第五只手。

His hands were small and prehensile, with fingers knotted like a cord; and they were continually flickering in front of him in violent and expressive pantomime.

They graze on underwater plants like sea grasses and algae for up to eight hours a day, grabbing the plants and pulling them into their mouth with their prehensile upper lip.

它们以海草和海藻类水下植物为食，每天进食长达八小时，它们会抓住这些植物，并用可以缠绕的上唇将其拉进嘴里。

If the harvest mouse had been more strictly arboreal, it would perhaps have had its tail rendered structurally prehensile, as is the case with some members of the same order.

如果收获鼠更严格地是树栖的， 它的尾巴可能在结构上变得可以抓握， 就像同目的些成员。

We shall, also, presently see that the tail is a highly useful prehensile organ to some of the species; and its use would be much influence by its length.

不久我们还将看到， 尾巴对于某些物种来说是种非常有用的抓握器官； 它的使用会受到它的长度的很大影响。

It is, however, possible that the long tail of this monkey may be of more service to it as a balancing organ in making its prodigious leaps, than as a prehensile organ.

然而，这只猴子的长尾巴可能在其惊人的跳跃中作为平衡器官比作为抓握器官更有用。

On the other hand, the transportal of the lower eye of a flat-fish to the upper side of the head, and the formation of a prehensile tail, may be attributed almost wholly to continued use, together with inheritance.

另方面，比目鱼的下眼向头部的上侧移动， 以及可卷曲的尾巴的形成，几乎可以完全归因于持续使用和遗传。

Mrs. Poyser's attention was here diverted by the appearance of Molly, carrying a large jug, two small mugs, and four drinking-cans, all full of ale or small beer—an interesting example of the prehensile power possessed by the human hand.

波瑟太太的注意力被莫莉的出现转移了，她拿着个大罐子、两个小杯子和四个饮料罐，里面装满了麦芽酒或小啤酒——这是人手具有抓握力的个有趣例子。
