Researching crabs in Taiwan, I have had many unforgettable experiences: being surrounded by a blue army of soldier crabs on a lonely seashore; the sight of a beach dyed red by a horde of millions of feeding ghost crabs; or swathes of fiddler crabs waving their glittering claws in the sunlight.
在台灣從事螃蟹研究工作，有著許多令人難忘的經驗﹘ ﹘在無人的海邊，被和尚蟹形成的藍色兵團團團圍住；以及碰到上千萬隻幽靈蟹集體覓食，沙灘因而染成一片潮紅色的景觀；或是成片的招潮蟹在陽光下揮舞閃亮大螯，凡此種種，均已在我腦海中形成不可磨滅的影像。
