……我敢肯定那是我第一次接触柯南·道尔爵士笔下的夏洛克·福尔摩斯宇宙（强烈安利给所有还没看过的朋友！）。在道尔非福尔摩斯系列的作品里，我第一个想到的就是《失落的世界》。读起来轻快又过瘾，同样超级推荐！（虽然再怎样也比不上最完整齐备的福尔摩斯全集，PDF 见 [1]，实体书见 [2]）……
…I'm pretty sure it was my first exposure to the world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes (and I do recommend it heartily to anyone who hasn't watched it!). Of Doyle's non-Sherlock works, The Lost World is the first that comes to my mind. Great fast read, also highly recommend! (Though nothing beats the full and complete collection of Sherlock Holmes, see [1] for the PDF and [2] for the actual book).…
带着这种“仙女事件”的背景去读柯南·道尔的《失落的世界》，查林杰教授这个角色就能完全说得通了。太长不看版（tl;dr）：一个被科学界主流狠狠嘲笑的男人最终彻底扬眉吐气。
Read Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World with this fairy incident in mind and the character of Professor Challenger will make a lot of sense. tl;dr: man mocked by the scientific majority gets completely vindicated.

……环境。人们整天哭喊着我们在毁灭地球，但他们其实根本不关心地球，他们只关心自己。就像伊恩·马尔科姆在《失落的世界》里讽刺的那样，人类可能活不下去，但地球好得很。浩劫过后，总会有某些微生物在漫天尘土之下苟活下来，生命自会重头再来。我能理解……
…environment. People cry about how we're destroying the earth, but they're not actually worried about the earth. They're worried about themselves. It's like how Ian Malcolm comments derisively in The Lost World that humans may not survive, but the earth would be just find. Somewhere some microbes would survive underneath all the dirt blasted everywhere in the apocalypse, and life would start again. I can understand…
这就是柯南·道尔《失落的世界》的前提设定：恐龙和其他远古巨兽被隔绝在一座古老火山的火山口里，周围的山坡陡峭到几乎无人能翻越。
This is the premise of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World. Dinosaurs and other ancient beasts kept isolated in the crater of an ancient volcano, the slopes of which are almost impossible to get over.
……这有点像十九世纪，世界上大片区域还未被探索，所以像亨利·赖德·哈格德和柯南·道尔这样的作家，能写出《所罗门王的宝藏》或《失落的世界》，大家还会觉得“这说不定真能发生”。而如今，我们对地球的了解深入多了。我们可以直接调出珠峰大本营的卫星图。但现在我们要寻找这种“可能发生……
…It’s kind of like, in the Nineteenth Century, large parts of the world were still unexplored, so authors like H. Rider Haggard and Arthur Conan Doyle, could write books like King Solomon’s Mines, or The Lost World, and people could sort of believe “it could happen.” These days, we know our world much better. We can call up satellite views of Base Camp, on Mt. Everest. But we are now looking much farther for “it…
