歐文在學(xué)術(shù)上奪取別人成果的卑劣行徑最終還是走到了盡頭，就在他即將拿到最高的學(xué)術(shù)榮譽(yù)時(shí)，他的一項(xiàng)成果被發(fā)現(xiàn)是別人四年前的成果，雖然最終還是拿到了獎(jiǎng)?wù)?，不過不可避免地留下了污點(diǎn)，日薄西山。最終他離任英國皇家外科學(xué)院亨特博物館的教授~~~

By this stage, however, Owen's transgressions were beginning to catch up with him. His undoing began when a committee of the Royal Society—a committee of which he happened to be chairman—decided to award him its highest honor, the Royal Medal, for a paper he had written on an [-1-] mollusc called the belemnite. "However," as Deborah Cadbury notes in her excellent history of the period, Terrible Lizard, "this piece of work was not quite as original as it appeared." [---2---] Owen had been at that meeting, but failed to mention this when he [-3-] to the Royal Society—in which, not [-4-] , he rechristened the creature Belemnites owenii in his own honor.

Eventually Huxley managed to do to Owen what Owen had done to so many others: he [-6-] the councils of the Zoological and Royal societies. [---7---]



extinct The belemnite, it turned out, had been discovered four years earlier by an amateur naturalist named Chaning Pearce, and the discovery had been fully reported at a meeting of the Geological Society. presented a report of his own incidentally Although Owen was allowed to keep the Royal Medal, the episode left a permanent tarnish on his reputation, even among his few remaining supporters. had him voted off As a final insult Huxley became the new Hunterian Professor at the Royal College of Surgeons.
不過，到這個(gè)時(shí)候，歐文的壞事快干到頭了。他的垮臺(tái)之日到來了。英國皇家學(xué)會(huì)的一個(gè)委員會(huì)--歐文恰好是該委員會(huì)的主席--決定授予他最高的榮譽(yù)：英國皇家勛章，表彰他寫的一篇關(guān)于一種名叫箭石的、已經(jīng)絕種的軟體動(dòng)物的論文。"然而，"德博拉?卡德伯里在《可怕的蜥蜴》里對(duì)那段歷史有絕好的記述，"這項(xiàng)成就并不像看起來那么有創(chuàng)意。"結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，箭石已經(jīng)于4年前由一位名叫查寧?皮爾斯的業(yè)余博物學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)，而且在地質(zhì)學(xué)會(huì)的一次會(huì)議上已經(jīng)充分發(fā)表。歐文出席了那次會(huì)議，但他向皇家學(xué)會(huì)提交自己的報(bào)告的時(shí)候沒有提及這個(gè)情況。在那份報(bào)告里，他把那種動(dòng)物重新命名為"歐文的軟體動(dòng)物"以紀(jì)念他自己，這不是偶然的。盡管歐文被允許保留英國皇家勛章，但這件事使得他永遠(yuǎn)名聲掃地，即使在他剩下的為數(shù)不多的支持者中間也同樣如此。 最后，赫胥黎以其人之道還治其人之身：他通過投票使歐文在動(dòng)物學(xué)會(huì)和皇家學(xué)會(huì)的許多委員會(huì)里落選。最后，赫胥黎成為英國皇家外科學(xué)院亨特博物館的新一任教授，結(jié)束了對(duì)歐文的懲罰。
