布馮在昨天為美國人的生物物種做的定論引起了美國人的墻裂不滿。托馬斯杰斐遜找人狩獵了麋鹿來向法國人展示美洲大陸的物種優(yōu)良。與此同時(shí)，在威斯塔的家鄉(xiāng)費(fèi)城，博物學(xué)家著手裝配一頭大象似的大動(dòng)物的骨頭。以此證明法國人不可一世的論點(diǎn)是多么可笑?。?！~~~

and induced his New Hampshire friend General John Sullivan to send 20 soldiers into the northern woods to find a bull moose to present to Buffon as proof of the stature and majesty of American quadrupeds.

The first of these bones had been discovered at a place called Big Bone Lick in Kentucky, but soon others were turning up all over.

這類誹謗在美國受到了憤怒的譴責(zé)，這是不足為怪的。托馬斯?杰斐遜在他的《弗吉尼亞州筆記》中氣憤地（而又令人費(fèi)解地，除非你知道來龍去脈）進(jìn)行反駁，還勸他在新罕布什爾州的朋友約翰?沙利文派20名士兵去北部叢林，找一頭麋鹿送給布豐，以證明美洲四足動(dòng)物的高大和威武。士兵們花了兩個(gè)星期才找到合適的目標(biāo)。不幸的是，麋鹿被擊斃以后，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)它沒有杰斐遜專門提到的一對威風(fēng)凜凜的角，但沙利文周到地加上了一對駝鹿角或是赤鹿角，意思是，這是另外附上的。畢竟，在法國，誰會(huì)知道呢？
與此同時(shí)，在威斯塔的家鄉(xiāng)費(fèi)城，博物學(xué)家著手裝配一頭大象似的大動(dòng)物的骨頭。起初它被稱做"不知名的美洲大動(dòng)物"，后來又不大正確地被確定為一頭哺乳動(dòng)物。第一批這種骨頭是在肯塔基州一個(gè)名叫大骨地的地方發(fā)現(xiàn)的，但很快在各地都發(fā)現(xiàn)了?？磥砻乐抟欢壬钪撤N大動(dòng)物--那種動(dòng)物肯定能證明法國人布豐的可笑論點(diǎn)不能成立。
