Natural selection, as has just been remarked, leads to divergence of character and to much extinction of the less improved and intermediate forms of life.

正如刚才所说， 自然选择导致性格的分化， 并导致改良程度较低的和中间的生命形式大量灭绝。

Mr. Watson has also objected that the continued action of natural selection, together with divergence of character, would tend to make an indefinite number of specific forms.

沃森先生还反对说， 自然选择的持续作用，加上性格的分化， 往往会产生数量不定的特定形式。

Now let us see how this principle of benefit being derived from divergence of character, combined with the principles of natural selection and of extinction, tends to act.

现在让我们看看这种源于性格差异的利益原则， 与自然选择和灭绝原则相结合， 往往会如何发挥作用。

Mr. H.C. Watson thinks that I have overrated the importance of divergence of character (in which, however, he apparently believes), and that convergence, as it may be called, has likewise played a part.

C. 先生沃森认为我高估了性格分歧的重要性（然而， 他显然相信这一点）， 而所谓的趋同也同样发挥了作用。 H.
