My own epiphany as a conservationist came in 1953, while a Harvard graduate student, searching for rare ants found in the mountain forests of Cuba, ants that shine in the sunlight -- metallic green or metallic blue, according to species, and one species, I discovered, metallic gold.
我的灵光一现出现在1953年，那时我是哈佛大学的一位研究生 我去古巴的大山和森林里寻找罕见的蚂蚁种类 这些蚂蚁在阳光照射之下会发光 金属绿、金属蓝，甚至是黄金的颜色
