［人物小传］

Charles Darwin （1809-1882） was an English geologist and naturalist, known for his Theory of Evolution by natural selection. His father wanted him to study medicine, but he was more interested in natural science. After achieving a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1831, he started his five-year voyage on the Beagle, which led to his important discoveries and finally his famous work On the Origin of Species came out in 1859.

A Journey of Discovery

The captain of the ship, ［1］the Beagle, wanted someone who would “profit① by the opportunity② of visiting distant③ countries ［2］yet little known”. The person who answered the call④ was not the captain's first choice⑤. ［3］It was a young man who had left medical⑥ school without completing⑦ his degree. What's more, he had recently received a letter from his father ［4］predicting⑧ that he would be “a disgrace⑨ to yourself and all your family”. Despite all this, his adventures on this ship would lead to one of the most important scientific discoveries of all time⑩.

［1］此处为the Beagle作同位语，指the ship。

［2］此处为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰distant countries。distant countries与know之间是逻辑上的动宾关系。
