摘要

这段出自发育生物学家刘易斯·沃尔珀特(Lewis Wolpert)之手的陈述史是近代科学中引文的制作和使用的例证。沃尔珀特的名言“人生中最重要的时刻不是出生、结婚或死亡,而是胚期”,是在一系列中等规模的国际转移中产生的。它起源于他在一次研讨会晚宴上与一位非专业人士交谈时的生动陈述,在一位同事的专著中获得了规范形式,并被放大为来自本科生项目的海报上的引文。虽然它借鉴了Wolpert的权威,他也接受了他的作者身份,但它代表了通过20世纪80年代发育生物学的价值观对产前存在的重要性的早期主张的集体筛选。将一个专业术语与重大生活事件并列,让教师吸引了学生,研究人员吸引了记者,同时分享了一个标志着社区身份的内部笑话。严重的应用包括争论延长人类胚胎研究的14天限制。基于这一证据,引文一直忙于向每一位具有专业知识的听众讲话。

'Not birth, marriage or death, but gastrulation': the life of a quotation in biology.

This history of a statement attributed to the developmental biologist Lewis Wolpert exemplifies the making and uses of quotations in recent science. Wolpert's dictum, 'It is not birth, marriage or death, but gastrulation which is truly the most important time in your life', was produced in a series of international shifts of medium and scale. It originated in his vivid declaration in conversation with a non-specialist at a workshop dinner, gained its canonical form in a colleague's monograph, and was amplified as a quotation on a poster derived from an undergraduate project. Although it drew on Wolpert's authority and he accepted his authorship, it thus represents a collective sifting of earlier claims for the significance of prenatal existence through the values of 1980s developmental biology. Juxtaposing a technical term with major life events has let teachers engage students, and researchers entice journalists, while sharing an in-joke that came to mark community identity. Serious applications include arguing for an extension of the fourteen-day limit on human-embryo research. On this evidence, quotations have been kept busy addressing every audience of specialized knowledge.
