【天下远见】明仁天皇:专攻虾虎鱼,践行科学梦

明仁天皇出生于1933年,今年刚好80岁。像他的父亲裕仁天皇一样,他钟爱研究生物学胜过履行皇室职责。在虾虎鱼研究方面,明仁天皇是世界权威,可能是世界唯一的权威。明仁天皇勤奋、热忱和热爱科学,与其说是出于形象塑造,毋宁说更出乎他的本心。

2013年4月22日,日本明仁天皇及其合著作者搞了一个活动,庆祝百科全书《日本鱼类》(Fishes of Japan with Pictorial Keys to the Species)第三版出版。明仁天皇是该百科全书19位作者之一。你可能会想,或许是人家为了哄天皇高兴,卖个面子,给个冠名,同时也给该书打一个免费广告吧?国内不就有导师喜欢在学生的工作上冠名,以至于闹出了“门修斯”和“常凯申”的笑话吗?

你这样想就错了。这部2500页之厚的鸿篇巨制,由东京大学的Tetsuji Nakabo教授负责编辑,由日本知名的19位鱼类学家联袂呈现,全面且精确地介绍了栖居在日本淡水及近海的各种鱼类,“为生物地理学、渔业科学及环境保护提供了基本且有价值的洞见”,绝不是导师找几个研究生用剪刀糨糊就能搞定的。

明仁天皇既非挂名学者,也非票友或民科,他是日本鱼类学会的正式成员,撰写了这部书350页的全部内容,是关于虾虎鱼亚目(Suborder

我看这个的时候,突然想到明朝那些事里的皇帝。当命运已经无法改变,我们就用自己的时间做些自己喜欢的事吧。

Chinglish.天皇只是国家的象征,不是真正的政治家。这样比较似乎有点欠妥。

This is a good article about Japanese emperor with objective, factual point of view. Seems to me that in most Chinese media, whenever Japanese emperors are mentioned, they are almost all negative. Look at the history since Meiji Reformation, we have to admit that Japan is well ahead of China in term of civilization. Of course some people argue that the Chinese leaders are most educated and among the world leaders in any other countries. Five of seven members of Standard Committee of CCP are PhD! Congratulations, Chinese people. Under such men with highest degree, you are happiest people in the world. But everybody knows what kind of PhD they are. What a shameless joke!

中国皇室还出了木匠,看来真是闲的。这人不当家,反战有什么用。
