  Charles’ father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist.Charles’ father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.

  As a boy Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests.He watched nature and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books.He also liked collecting very much.He collected many things: eggs, stones, and leaves.His father did not like this, as Charles was not studying very well at school.

  ①为了成为一名医生,十六岁时达尔文就被送到爱丁堡大学(Edinburgh University)学习。But he was interested in the history of nature.
