摘要

It was 1965. Niko Tinbergen, a small, white-haired, bespectacled man of modest manner, was in full flow in one of his enchanting undergraduate lectures. Suddenly, he leapt onto the front bench of the steeply raked Victorian lecture theatre, strode from bench to bench past astonished students right up to the back, snatched a newspaper from the grasp of an inattentive undergraduate, and pranced gazelle-like down the benches to the front. And all without pausing in his explanation of how some oystercatchers pierce mussel shells by stabbing whereas others hammer them open. I remember being both relieved and astounded: relieved that I wasn't the one with the newspaper, and astounded by Tinbergen's athletic burst. As a second-year undergraduate at the University of Oxford, I didn't know that as a young man he had played international hockey in Holland.
