And she's into Charles Darwin and Charles Lyell.

The Geological Survey supplied stacks of volumes, and reading for steady months; while, the longer he read, the more he wondered, pondered, doubted what his delightful old friend Sir Charles Lyell would have said about it.

地质调查局提供了成堆的书籍，并连续几个月阅读；同时，他读得越久，就越想知道、思考、怀疑他可爱的老朋友查尔斯·莱尔爵士会怎么说。

Naturally a young man, altogether ignorant, could not say this to Sir Charles Lyell or Sir Isaac Newton; but he was forced to state Sir Charles's views, which he thought weak as hypotheses and worthless as proofs.

一个完全无知的年轻人自然不能对查尔斯·莱尔爵士或艾萨克·牛顿爵士说这话； 但他不得不陈述查尔斯爵士的观点， 他认为这些观点作为假设是站不住脚的， 作为证据也毫无价值。
