- we’ve been looking at fear from biological perspectives.
- someone asked whether the tendency to be fearful is genetic.
- some studies done with mice indicate(不要过去时) that mammals do inherit fearfulness (to some degree)在某种程度上
- in one study, for instance,
- some of the mice wandered around the box and didn’t appear不要过去时 to be bothered about being so exposed
- they stayed up against one wall which indicated they were afraid.
他们靠墙站着，说明他们是害怕的 - when mice like these were bred应该用过去时 with one another repeatedly, after about 12 or so generations, then all of the offspring showed similar signs of fearfulness.

- these genes are associated with particular nerve-cell receptors in the brain.
这些基因和大脑里特定的神经细胞受体有关。 - the degree of overall of fearfulness in the mammal, seems to depend in large part on the presence or absence of these nerve-cell receptors.
哺乳动物整体的恐惧程度，看起来大部分取决于他们是否有这些神经细胞受体。 - this appears to apply to human as well by the way.
顺便说一下，这似乎也适用于人类 - but while a tendency towards anxiety and fear may well be an inherited trait, this specific form that the fear takes has more to do with the individual’s environment
但是尽管焦虑和恐惧的倾向很可能是遗传的（well是“很”的意思），这些特定的恐惧形式还是跟个体的环境有更大的关系。 - so a particular fear, like the fear of snakes or the fear of spider, say, is not genetic, but the overall tendency to have fearful responses, is.
所以对于像蛇或者蜘蛛这些特定的恐惧不是遗传决定的，但总的来说，有害怕的反应是遗传决定的 - I've never been there.
