David Starr Jordan是一名分类学家，一个执着于为自然界建立秩序的人。随着时间的推移，他被公认为发现了当时人类已知鱼类中近五分之一的种类。然而，他揭开的生命隐藏蓝图越多，宇宙似乎就越拼命地阻挠他。他的标本收藏先后毁于雷击、火灾，并最终在1906年旧金山大地震中毁于一旦——那场地震将存放在脆弱玻璃罐中的一千多项发现震落在地，摔得粉碎。转瞬之间，他毕生的心血付之东流。许多人或许早已放弃，

鱼也是同理，我刚在 Lulu Miller 的好书《Why Fish Don't Exist》里读到过。举个例子，肺鱼跟牛的相似特征比它跟鲑鱼的还要多。
Same goes for fish, which I just read in the excellent book "Why Fish Don't Exist" by Lulu Miller. An example being that a lungfish has more attributes similar to a cow than to a salmon.
Lulu Miller 写的《Why Fish Don’t Exist》。Lulu Miller 是 Invisibilia 播客的主持人，她把一个起初只是关于强迫症分类学家 David Starr Jordan 的简单故事，转变成了一场深刻私人化且触动人心的探索……
Why Fish Don’t Exist by Lulu Miller Lulu Miller, a host of the Invisibilia podcast, turns what at first is a simple story about an obsessive taxonomist, David Starr Jordan, into a deeply personal and poignant exploration…
Lulu Miller 写的《Why Fish Don’t Exist》对我来说是一本神作。表面上看，这是一本讲一个伟大但缺陷极大的科学家的书。但在表象之下，它探讨的是身份认同与人生的意义。我大概花了两个晚上就一口气刷完了。
Why Fish Don’t Exist by Lulu Miller was a great one for me. Surface level it’s a book about a great but immensely flawed scientist. Under the surface it’s about identity and purpose. Binged it in like 2 nights.

这篇文章的第一句话也讲到了鱼并不存在。如果有人对这个话题感兴趣（哪怕是从不同角度切入），我强烈推荐《Why Fish Don’t Exist》这本书[1]。它其实只有一小部分是关于鱼、斯坦福首任校长（他是个极其痴迷的鱼类学家）以及他的优生学主张。它同时也是一部半回忆录。我觉得非常感人，而且相当……
The first line of this essay talks about fish not existing either. For anyone interested in this subject (albeit from a different angle) I highly recommend the book “Why Fish Don’t Exist” [1]. It’s only really a little bit about fish, the founding president of Stanford (who was an obsessive ichthyologist), and his eugenics agenda. It’s also part memoir. I found it very touching and quite…
有一本书叫《Why Fish Don't Exist》，挺不错的。从演化角度来看，据我理解，生物通常是按其祖先谱系命名的（系统发育上？），而鱼基本上就是……“长着鱼的形状并且呆在水里”，这就变成了……
There's a book: "Why Fish Don't Exist" which is pretty good. Evolutionary, my understanding is that things are usually named after their ancestry (phylogenetically?), while fish are basically... "have fish shape and is in water" which becomes…
