Totemism, for example, was a system as complex as the Linnaean classification.

比如，图腾这个系统的复杂程度堪比林奈的植物学分类体系。

Evolutionary stasis is fairly common at the higher levels of the Linnaean system of biological classification (class, order and family).

在林耐生物分类（类，属和门）系统的高等类别中进化停滞现象是相当普遍的。

From Aristotle's " Categories" to the Linnaean taxonomy of biology, people are splitters, not lumpers, forever seeking to parse and quantify the world.

从亚里士多德的“范畴”到林奈的生物学分类学，人们是分裂者，而不是混沌者，永远寻求解析和量化世界。

And, if that is not all, every word, true, then there is no faith in microscopes, and all is over with the Linnaean Society.

而且，如果这还不是全部，每个词都是真的，那么就没有对显微镜的信心，林奈学会就完蛋了。

But good Sir John did not understand all this, not being a fellow of the Linnaean Society; and he took it into his head that Tom was drowned.

但是好心的约翰爵士不明白这一切，他不是林奈学会的会员；他以为汤姆淹死了。
