科学家以总统奥巴马的名字命名灭绝的蜥蜴

据美国雅虎新闻报道，美国总统奥巴马在第一任期内赢得诺贝尔和平奖，现在他又获得一个殊荣：美国科学家以他的名字为一种新发现的史前蜥蜴命名。


The scientific community has come up with an unusual way of honoring President Barack Obama after his re-election--by naming an extinct lizard after him.

在奥巴马再次被选为美国总统之后，科学家想出了一个纪念奥巴马总统的不寻常方式--以他的名字为一种新发现的史前蜥蜴命名。

"I was seriously thinking, if the election had gone the other way, I would have yanked it," Yale paleontologist Nicholas Longrich told the Boston Globe. "It might have seemed like we were mocking it, naming a lizard that goes extinct after that, seemed kind of cruel."

耶鲁古生物学者Nicholas Longrich告诉波士顿环球报称，“我很严肃地想，如果选举是另一个结果，我可能就会改变了。”“这看起来像是我们在嘲笑他，用他的名字命名一个已经灭绝的蜥蜴，看起来有点残酷。”

The newly named Obamadon gracilis was a small lizard that fed off of insects and was about a foot long before going extinct about 65 million years ago.

新命名的“奥巴马牙齿蜥蜴”（Obamadon gracilis）是一种小型蜥蜴，在6500万年灭绝之前，以昆虫为食，大约有一英尺长。

But Longrich and his peers say no one should read any political commentary into the choice. "We're just having fun with taxonomy," he said.


Nicholas Longrich和他的同事称，此次为已灭绝蜥蜴命名不含任何政治因素。“我们只是感觉这种分类法很有趣”，Nicholas Longrich说道。

And as NBC's Cosmic Log points out, this is actually the third organism named after Obama, including a fish (Etheostoma obama) and lichen (Caloplaca obamae).

NBC电视台指出，这事实上是第三个以奥巴马名字命名的生物体，包括一条鱼(Etheostoma obama)和青苔(Caloplaca obamae)。

In a paper published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Longrich and his colleagues argue that Obamadon gracilis shows that small lizards did not survive the mass extinctions of the era, as was previously believed.

根据周一公布的美国国家科学院的纪录显示，Nicholas Longrich和他的同事相信“奥巴马牙齿蜥蜴”（Obamadon gracilis）没有在大灭绝时代存活下来，正如之前所为人相信的一样。


The new research suggests that no creature weighing more than a pound was likely to have survived, with organisms such as beetles and maggots faring particularly well in the mass deaths of biological organisms and plant life.
新研究显示超过1磅重的生物都没能在大灭绝中存活下来，而像甲壳虫和蛆虫则能够在生物大灭亡的时代存活下来。

Interesting that this is the third time Mr. Obama has been honored by scientists. Doubt they ever honored Bush, he didn't believe in science.....


（回Forever Alone Me）很有趣，这已经是奥巴马第三次被科学家尊敬了。我怀疑他们有没有这样对待过布什，他不相信科学。。。

..Lizards are cold-blooded reptiles. Since they cannot make their own body heat, they spend a lot of time out in the sun, staying warm, playing golf while U.S.A. is Downgraded.

蜥蜴是冷血的爬行动物。因为他们不能让自己的身体热起来，他们花了很多时间在阳光下，保持温暖，打高尔夫，而美国则在降级。

Appropriate. He IS a cold blooded reptile that feeds off of cockroaches to grow and expand his power base.

Appropriate considering Obama views the contributing members of society as "insects".
