摘要: 让我摘下我的记者头衔，告诉你们我怎么想。我们生活在一个危险的时代。许多国家的国家安全处于风险中。科学已经成为受到高度关注的一系列不当行为和欺诈案件。

Dozens then mobbed the professor at the lectern to extend greetings and ask questions. It was necessary to wait a while before I could get close enough to take some photographs (Fig. 1).

几十个人围住讲台旁的皮昂卡教授，向他表示祝贺、提出问题。我不得不等了一会儿才可能接近到能够拍几张照片的位置。

I was assigned to judge a paper in a grad student competition after the speech. On the way, three professors dismissed Pianka as a crank. While waiting to enter the competition room, a group of a dozen Lamar University students expressed outrage over the Pianka speech.

我被安排在讲演后对一项毕业生竞赛的论文进行评判。去的路上，听到三位教授否定皮昂卡，说他是个怪人。等待进入毕业生竞赛厅时，十几位Lamar大学的大学生对皮昂卡的演讲表示愤怒。

Yet five hours later, the distinguished leaders of the Texas Academy of Science presented Pianka with a plaque in recognition of his being named 2006 Distinguished Texas Scientist. When the banquet hall filled with more than 400 people responded with enthusiastic applause, I walked out in protest.

然而，五个小时后，德州科学院杰出的领导人向皮昂卡博士赠送一个奖牌，授予他《2006年度杰出德州科学家》称号。挤满400多位人士的宴会厅回应热烈的鼓掌时，我则走出去以示抗议。

Corresponding with Dr. Doom

与“世界末日”博士之间的通讯

Recently I exchanged a number of e-mails with Pianka. I pointed out to him that one might infer his death wish was really aimed at Africans, for Ebola is found only in Central Africa. He replied that Ebola does not discriminate, kills everyone and could spread to Europe and the Americas by a single infected airplane passenger.

我最近与皮昂卡交流了几次邮件。我向他指出，有人可能将他杀人的愿望认为实际针对非洲人，因为埃博拉仅在中非发现。他回答埃博拉不会歧视不同的人，它杀死任何人，而且可能通过飞机旅客中仅一位感染者传播给欧洲人和美国人。

In his last e-mail, Pianka wrote that I completely fail to understand his arguments. So I did a check and found verification of my interpretation of his remarks on his own web site.

他最后的邮件中，皮昂卡说我完全没有能够理解他的观点。所以我进行了核对，在他自己的网站上发现了验证我的理解的内容。

In a student evaluation of a 2004 course he taught, one of Professor Pianka's students wrote, "Though I agree that convervation [sic] biology is of utmost importance to the world, I do not think that preaching that 90% of the human population should die of ebola [sic] is the most effective means of encouraging conservation awareness."

在他2004年教授课程的学生评价中，皮昂卡教授的一位学生写道，“尽管我同意保护生物学对世界具有最大重要性，我不认为说教‘90%的人口应死于埃博拉病毒’是鼓励环境保护意识最有效的方式。”

Yet the majority of his student reviews were favorable, with one even saying, " I worship Dr. Pianka."

然而他大多数学生的评论是肯定性的，有一位学生甚至说，“我崇拜Pianka博士。”

The 45-minute lecture before the Texas Academy of Science converted a university biology senior into a Pianka disciple, who then published a blog that seriously supports Pianka's mass death wish.

德州科学院面前的这个45分钟讲演将一位大学生物高班学生转化为一位皮昂卡弟子，这位学生后来发布了一篇博文认真支持皮昂卡大规模死亡愿望。
