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

他对我说，整个非洲没有专门分类。

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

培养一名分类要花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，分类创造了小猿这个分类来孤立可怜猿。他就像操场上被排挤小孩。

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，哪里分类都经常“缺少地位和资源”。
