Canadian scientist names beetle after Jose Bautista
加拿大昆蟲學家用Jose Bautista來命名甲蟲

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Jose Bautista has a new namesake buzzing around.
Jose Bautista有個跟他同名的東西會嗡嗡叫。

Entomologist Bob Anderson of the Canadian Museum of Nature has dubbed a newly
discovered species of beetle Sicoderus bautistai after the former Toronto
Blue Jays star.
加拿大自然博物館昆蟲學家Bob Anderson最近命名了一個新發現的甲蟲，用前多倫多藍鳥
球員來命名，叫做Sicoderus bautistai。

Anderson decided to name the insect — known as a weevil for its long snout
— after Bautista because of the bat-flip home run that propelled Toronto to
the 2015 American League Championship Series.
Anderson決定用Bautista來命名這隻蟲--大家一般稱它叫象鼻蟲，因為它的長口吻的關
係--因為Bautista那次在打出全壘打後的甩棒，幫助藍鳥打進2015年美聯冠軍系列戰。

"It was one of those moments in Toronto baseball sort of lore where he hit
this big home run," Anderson said Thursday. "And I thought what a great way
to kind of recognize his contributions to Blue Jay baseball and to Canadian
baseball, really, as a whole."
「那支全壘打是多倫多棒球史裡面幾個重要時刻之一，」Anderson說。「而且我認為那是
很好的方式讓大家知道他為藍鳥以及加拿大棒球所做的貢獻。」

The 38-year-old Bautista played for Toronto from 2009 to 2017. He's a free
agent after splitting last season with the New York Mets, Atlanta Braves and
Philadelphia Phillies.
Bautista今年38歲，在2009-2017都在藍鳥打球，去年則是分別在梅子，勇士及費城人打
球。

The Sicoderus bautistai is a tiny black weevil that is found in Bautista's
native Dominican Republic.
這隻學名叫Sicoderus bautistai的昆蟲是一種很小的黑色象鼻蟲，是在Bautista的祖國多
明尼加發現的。

Anderson has named about 120 weevils over his career.
Anderson在他的學術生涯已經命名了120種象鼻蟲。

"One of the nice things about this is that you have some latitude to do
something kind of quirky," Anderson said. "(Naming) sort of builds on a
history and the names tell little stories."
「做我們這種工作，其中一個好處是我們可以在某種自由內做一些搞怪的事情，」
Anderson說。「給物種命名是建立在歷史上，而那些名字則是可以訴說一些小故事的。」
