There were no specialized taxonomists in the whole of Africa, he told me.

他对我，非洲没有专门分类学家。

It takes eight to ten years to train a taxonomist, but none are coming along in Africa.

培养一名分类学家要花8一l0年时间，而在非洲没有接班人。

That means taxonomists created the entire category of lesser ape just to single out the poor gibbon as the weird kid on the playground.

这就表示，分类学家创造了猿这分类来孤立可怜长臂猿。他就像操场上被排孩。

Writing in the journal Nature last year, the British biologist G. H. Godfray noted that there is a chronic lack of prestige and resources for taxonomists everywhere.

英国植物学家G.H.戈弗雷不久前在为《自然》杂志写一篇文章里指出，哪里分类学家都经常“缺少地位和资源”。
