（单词翻译）

Background: 泰山是个家喻户晓的名字，他频繁出现在书籍，电影和广播节目中。现在巴黎的一家博物馆决定为这位100年前虚构的丛林英雄举办一次特别的展览-泰山展。

He had the instincts of an animal and the intellect of a man and now Tarzan, the world's first adult jungle hero, has swung into his own exhibition at a Paris museum.

The loinclothed, muscled ape man is celebrated1 amid all the Western stereotypical2 views of Africa of the early twentieth century.

His creator, the American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, had never visited Africa, and unwittingly placed Tarzan in a jungle which was populated by tigers and which stretched from the Belgian Congo to Rhodesia.

The exhibition also traces the impact of Darwinism and evolutionary3 theory in the Tarzan story.

But for anyone looking for lighter4 relief, there's also an opportunity to practise your Tarzan jungle yell.
