||1: Perhaps more important, “natural science” had not yet become “biology”. ||2: It was practised out of doors rather than in a laboratory, and aside from the classification madness of Linnaeus, it was light on systems and formality. ||3: Its early titans, such as Charles Darwin and Alexander von Humboldt, a Prussian aristocrat whose masterwork , “The Cosmos”, began being published in 1845, “seemed indifferent to drawing lines between art and science,” Mr Leach writes. ||4: “Their prose was often excellent and readable, so much so as to later seem unscientific. They often wrote on behalf of the artistic attractions of nature.” ||5: They led with a sense of curiosity driven by rapture and wonder. ||6: Natural science belonged not to the trained and pedigreed biologist, but to the passionate amateur: they were “naturalists”, not biologists.

||1:或许更重要的是，“自然科学”没有发展为“生物学”。||2:它的研究在户外进行而不是在实验室，不像林奈繁杂的分类法，体系和形式是次要的。||3:有关研究它的早期的泰斗，像查尔斯达尔文，以及亚历山大洪堡特，一位在1845年出版名著《大宇宙》的普鲁士贵族，“似乎对划分科学与艺术的界线漠不关心”，里奇先生写道。||4:“他们写的散文总是出色易懂，以至于对后人来说显得不科学，他们常常为了自然的艺术吸引力而写文章。”||5:他们引领了一种由狂喜和惊奇驱使的好奇感。||6:自然科学不属于受过训练的正统生物学家，但却属于热情激昂的业余爱好者：他们是“博物学家”，而不是生物学家。
