四海游龍的塗鴉板

又到了要去花蓮出差的日子，
不同的是，
這次有一位從俄國遠道而來的年輕學者要一同前往，
所以接下來的幾天必定是要強迫自己來場英文轟炸了...
It's time to go on a mission in Hualien again,
differently,
this time we will have a young Herpetology scholar from Russia go with us together,
I think I will have a great English class in these days...

小少帶著Nick在火車站出現了，
Nick是在莫斯科大學任教的年輕學者，
全名是Nikolai Andreevich Poyarkov，
即將在今年10月就可以拿到Ph.D，
年紀也只比我大了半年，
真是太厲害了！
Nirose and Nick meet us in train station,
Nick is a young scholar who is working in Moscow University,
his full name is Nikolai Andreevich Poyarkov,
and he will get the Ph.D right away in this October,
moreover, he is only nearly 25 years old,
SO COOL !!

Nick主要是研究蠑螈及山椒魚，
對兩棲類和爬蟲類的認識都非常豐富，
很多第一次看到的東西都可以準確的喊出學名，
太強了！
Nick's study is focus on salamanders,
he knows amphibians and reptiles very much,
even somethings he saw in the first time can still speak its scientific name accurately,
AWESOME !!

我們在花蓮的工作照例還是抓褐樹蛙(Buergeria robusta)採組織，
Nick也幫了不少忙，
還發現了幾隻不常見的半葉趾虎(Hemiphyllodactylus typus typus)，
以下就是幾張在花蓮的照片...
Our work in Hualien still catch brown tree frog(Buergeria robusta) and get tissue samples,
Nick helps a lot,
and we found some uncommon tree geckos(Hemiphyllodactylus typus typus),
the photos in Hualien right here...

結束了幾天的花蓮採集後，
我們轉往大溪漁港參觀...
After we finish the collection in these days in Hualien,
we went to visit Da-Si fishing port...

離開大溪回到台北後，
Nick有另外的行程，
我們就趁著兩天空檔跑了趟聖地啦...
After we leave Da-si and back to Taipei,
Nick has his own schdule,
so we use the gap to went to the Holy Land...

強獸人夫婦和益儒先出發了，
我等志明下班才一起上去，
這趟的運氣相當不錯！
The couple of Uruk-Hais(A-Jie and Hsiang-Hsiang) and Yi-Ru went first,
I went with Zhi-Ming after he came off work,
We had very good luck this time !!

這晚我們發現了：
The animals we found in the night:

擬龜殼花(Macropisthodon rudis rudis)

隔天，
我邀請Nick到我家吃個晚餐過一夜，
他還得忙碌他隔天的演講PPT...
Next day,
I invite Nick come to my house have a dinner and overnight,
he still has to make his PPT of the lecture next day...

隔天Nick精采的演講結束後，
晚上到了新店來賞蛙...
Next day after the nice lecture of Nick,
we went to frog-watching in Sindian...

然後我們在隔天下午又跑去故宮博物院參觀，
然後晚餐吃了一家很貴的餐廳...
We went to National Palace Museum next afternoon,
and had a very expensive dinner...

晚餐後我和強獸人跑了趟陽明山，
可惜沒遇到什麼特別的，
拍了幾張夜景...
After dinner the Uruk-Hais and I went to Yangmingshan,
but we didn't find something special,
only took some photos of night scenes...

在送Nick回師大前，
因為Nick隔天要去登山找山椒魚，
所以就要求我帶他去7-11買了兩罐黑咖啡來祈求好運...XD
後來果然順利找到山椒魚了！
Before took Nick back to NTNU,
because of Nick will go mountain-climbing and search for salamanders next day,
he asked me to take him to 7-11 then bought two black coffees for luck...XD
And it's work!

在Nick還沒下山的期間，
我和志明還有益儒又跑了趟聖地，
這次的運氣同樣相當不錯！
During Nick was in the mountains,
Zhi-Ming, Yi-Ru and I went to the Holy Land again,
this time we had good luck, too!

but the brightness was too over,
next time will be better...

擬龜殼花
False viper...

等Nick下山後，
也是時候差不多要離開台北了，
我們來到了一家露天啤酒屋吃飯聊天...
When Nick back from the mountains,
It's time about Nick leave Taipei,
we went to a open-air bar for food and chat...

還錄一段Nick對他在台灣的朋友們想說的話
Had a video about the words Nick want to give the friends in Taiwan...

大概的翻譯如下(感謝永杰的大力幫忙！)：
Nick:"每當我在大家面前講話都覺得自己很笨拙，就像那天的演講一樣，
但是我仍然要向所有我在台灣，台北認識的人說謝謝，
尤其那些台灣師範大學的朋友(林老師:"不正常的師大朋友XD")，
印象深刻的是當一個人都還不認識的時候，我只是去敲敲大家的門打個招呼，
說 hello, I’m from Moscow. 然後這些人就說 ok, 跟我們出去玩吧，
然後我們就去花蓮了XD
帶我去海邊，山上，看動物，還有非常好吃的食物，
那些人花費了時間、金錢、精神在我身上，
我真的非常感謝大家！
這真是我去過所有的地區裡最棒的一次旅程！
如果任何人想要去俄羅斯或莫斯科，
或是任何我通常會出現的地方，
就寄個email到N.Poyarkov@gmail.com
希望我們可以繼續保持聯絡！"

雖然Nick來台灣的時間不長，
但感覺已經和我們有了非常好的交情了，
希望以後可以一起到世界的任何地方一起找動物做研究囉！
謝謝你！Nick！
Although it's not so long when Nick stay in Taiwan,
but I feel we have nice friendship already,
hope someday we will go to anywhere in the world then find animals and do research together!
Thank you! Nick!
