1. between our intelligence with that of other primates may lay not so much in any specific skill but
               
2. between our intelligence with that of other primates may lie not so much in any specific skill but instead
               
3. between our intelligence and that of other primates may lie not so much in any specific skill as
               
4. our intelligence has from that of other primates may lie not in any specific skill as
               
5. of our intelligence to that of other primates may lay not in any specific skill but

 原文的含义是指主要区别之一可以用特殊技巧“撒谎”？（lie 有几个意思--位于lied ,lied ; 撒谎，平躺，平放lay laid）

不明白原文“lay”用错的原因，当然lay(放，下蛋)在这里都翻译不对。

请教 NN

谢谢

忘记了

我觉得从句子意思理解，这道题目考的本身就不是not...but的知识点，翻译一下就可以看出来。not...but有一个比较转折的味道在里面，强调的是but后面的东西，但是题目只是表达举例的意思，所以用as。

至于lay到底什么意思其实不是很重要，因为根本不影响解题似乎。

我是这样理解，肯能有不对的地方哦
