This is just incredible.
这件事非常难以置信。

A lot of ants pulling a latex glove up a pole.
一群蚂蚁拖着一个乳胶手套上电线杆。

The amazing thing is not only what weights they're hauling together.
最惊人惊讶的不仅仅是它们齐心合力托运多么重的东西。

But also the question: What do they want with it?
而是：它们拖这个干嘛？

Has evolution come up with a new solution for the problems we create?
它们进化出了分解我们创造的物品的新方法了吗？

After all, there is also Ideonella sakaiensis , a bacterium that breaks down plastic and extracts energy from it.
毕竟，世界上已经一种叫伊多内拉的细菌，可以分解塑料，并从中获取能量。

Plastic has not been around that long, so the bacterium must have learned that recently and rather quickly.
塑料并不是总是出现在细菌的周围，所以它们必须尽快得到塑料。

Now the ants may have specialized in gloves, masks and quick tests
现在蚂蚁可能专攻于手套，面具和快速实验。
