Dian Fossey was an American zoologist who studied gorillas in Africa. Her research and life in the mountain forests of Rwanda made her famous. She wrote a book about her work, ‘Gorillas in the Mist’. A major Hollywood studio paid her a million dollars for the movie rights. Her brutal murder in 1985 had to be added to the film.
戴安·弗西是一名美国动物学家，她曾经前往非洲研究大猩猩。她在卢旺达深山中的研究和生活让她备受关注。就她的研究，她出版了一本名叫“雾中猩猩”的图书。一家好莱坞大制片厂出100万美金向她购买了电影制作权。1985年，她被残忍杀害也在电影中得以展现。
Fossey was born in 1932. She became interested in animals from a very early age and enrolled on a veterinary course. At university, she studied occupational therapy, which would help her later research. She became interested in Africa in her late twenties. She took out a loan and went to Tanzania, where she met the man who would change her life, anthropologist Dr. Louis Leakey.
弗西出生于1932年。她从小就对动物感兴趣，并学习了有关动物的课程。在大学期间，她学写了作业疗法，这也为她后来的研究有所帮助。在她28-9岁时，她开始对非洲产生了兴趣。她贷款前往了坦桑尼亚，并在那里遇见了改变其一生的男人，人类学家路易斯·李奇博士。
Fossey was encouraged by Dr. Leakey to carry out long-term research on mountain gorillas. In 1967, she set up the Karisoke Research Centre in the remote Rwanda rainforest. She became an international celebrity in 1970 after appearing on the cover of ‘National Geographic’ magazine. It brought huge publicity for her campaign to protect the mountain gorillas and save them from extinction.
受到李奇博士的鼓励，弗西在大猩猩出没的深山中对猩猩进行了长期研究。1967年，她在遥远的卢旺达热带雨林建立了卡里索凯研究中心。1970年，就在她登上“国际地理杂志”的封面以后，她成为了一名国际名人。这为她保护深山大猩猩和免遭灭绝活动带来了巨大的宣传作用。
Fossey was strongly opposed to zoos. In 1978, she tried to stop two young gorillas from being taken from Rwanda to a zoo in Germany. Twenty adult gorillas were killed during their capture. She also disagreed with “conservation tourism”, which disturbs the animals’ natural habitat. Many believe she was killed by those who wanted to make big money from gorilla tourism.
弗西强烈反对动物园。1978年，她曾试图阻止两只年轻大猩猩从卢旺达前往德国动物园。在这次抓捕中，有20只成年大猩猩遭到了屠杀。她还反对“保护性旅游”，这将让动物的栖息地遭到破坏。许多人相信那些希望通过猩猩旅游来发财的人是杀害弗西的凶手。
