His college thesis was on the spectacled cayman; he lived in Gainesville, Florida, where alligators sun on the paths; his favourite work involved drifting, by torchlight, in a silent punt among the vegetation mats of the Mamirauá in Brazil or the llanos of Venezuela, with crocodilians darkly all about him, or looping them up on a six-foot pole to take DNA samples from them and massage their scaly necks.

他的大学论文就是写的有眼镜状斑纹的美洲鳄；他曾经居住的地方——佛罗里达州的盖恩斯维尔，鳄鱼在小路上晒太阳；借着手电的光亮，划着静行无声的平底船，在巴西的马尔马拉或委内瑞拉的亚诺斯河流植物垫衬的水中漂流，是他所钟爱的工作的一部分，其间，黑色鳄鱼遍及他的四周，或者，把鳄鱼环绕在一个6英尺长的杆子上，以采集它们的DNA样本，然后按摩它们那多鳞的脖子。

Sitting by the fire in the housekeeper's room, I approached that island in my fancy from every possible direction; I explored every acre of its surface; I climbed a thousand times to that tall hill they call the Spy-glass, and from the top enjoyed the most wonderful and changing prospects.

尽管人坐在管家屋子的炉火旁，但我的心早已神游在千里之遥的海岛上；想像我们的船从各个不同的方向驶向目的地，我彷佛早已熟悉那里的每一寸土地，彷佛已无数次攀上「望远镜」山，从山顶俯瞰那变幻莫测的瑰丽景色。

The poet, that beautified the sect, that was otherwise inferior to the rest, saith yet excellently well: It is a pleasure, to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tossed upon the sea; a pleasure, to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle, and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of truth (a hill not to becommanded, and where the air is always clear and serene), and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below: so always that this prospect be with pity, and not with swelling, or pride.

有位诗人，提升了这原本一无是处的学派，还很了不起地说到：「站在海岸看船沈没入海是一种乐趣，站在城堡的窗内看一场战役以及底下那儿的冒险犯难是一种乐趣，但没有乐趣比得上站在真理的高台上（空气清新，不受制於人的高丘），看见错误，看见底下山谷的迷路、蒙雾、暴风雨」这毕竟是怀著悲悯而不是自满自傲地的胸怀。
