网络明星“人面猴”，爱情中处处碰壁

A tiny monkey that went viral on social media for his human-like face is not lucky in love.

一只小猴子因为长着一张人脸而在社交媒体上走红，但在爱情中似乎并不走运。

And it may be because he’s a bit of a jerk.

可能是因为他有点混蛋。

According to zookeepers at Tianjin Zoo in eastern China, the 19-year-old tufted capuchin has been stuck a “bachelor” for his whole life. The unidentified zoo resident, who arrived at his current home in 2002, captured the internet’s attention last year with his anthropomorphic demeanor, which some of the 1.3 million who observed him on Chinese social media site Weibo said resembled a distressed old man.

据中国东部天津动物园的动物园管理员说，这只19岁的簇绒卷尾猴一生都是“单身汉”。这名身份不明的动物园居民于2002年来到他现在的家，去年他的拟人行为引起了互联网的关注，在中国社交媒体网站微博上观察他的130万人中，有人说他像一个悲伤的老人。

He may look like a person, but the tree-dweller reportedly lacks interpersonal skills, and exhibits an “aggressive” personality.

他可能看起来像一个人，但据报道，他并不具备人际交往能力，经常表现出“咄咄逼人”的个性。

“He is very active and aggressive,” a zoo spokesperson told Daily Mail. “[He] likes playing with mud and smashing coconuts.”

动物园发言人对《每日邮报》说：“它非常活跃，也很有攻击性。”。“(他)喜欢玩泥巴和砸烂椰子。”

Like Jack Tripper on the sitcom “Three’s Company,” the grumpy monkey previously lived with two female companion capuchins, but they apparently would have rather died than mate with him — they passed away before romance ever blossomed.

就像情景喜剧《三人行》中的杰克·特里普一样，这只脾气暴躁的猴子以前和两个女伴卷尾猴生活在一起，但他们显然宁愿死也不愿和他交配——他们的爱情尚未开花结果就结束了。

“He currently has three playmates,” the zoo said. “We bought three other Margarita Island capuchins in 2016.”

“他现在有三个玩伴，”动物园说。“2016年，我们又买了三只玛格丽塔岛卷尾猴。”

“When the younger capuchin monkeys grow up, we hope there will be chemistry between our human-faced monkey and one of them and he can finally find … a ‘wife.’ ”

“当小卷尾猴长大后，我们希望我们的人面猴和其中一只会产生化学反应，他最终能找到……一个‘妻子’。”

Despite his social media stardom, the infamous animal gets no special treatment by his caretakers, they insist.

动物园坚持表示，尽管这只臭名昭著的动物是社交媒体上的明星，但它并没有得到饲养员的特殊照顾。
