英语翻译now know that there is a happy abundance of science writ

我也不明白
但出於好奇
在网上寻找
发觉原来也有人提问过
专家起初都不知道
要求提问者提供上下文来协助理解
最后的共识是
这是指Timothy Ferris,Richard Fortey及Tim Flannery这3人的姓氏都是F字母开始
that jump out from a single station of the alphabet
的意思是
每个英文字母(a 至 z)各为一站(station)
而这三人均来自同一站(F)
以下附上在网络上找到的资料
供你参考
Could anyone help me understand the term "single station of the alphabet"x14
I found the term in the following sentence,"Timothy Ferris,Richard Fortey,
and Tim Flannery are three that jump out from a single station of the alphabet"
.

completely wrong.]
[我猜测是这3人的姓氏都是F开始,但这可能彻底错误]

The single station of the alphabet is the letter F.(the single station
of alphabet 是指F)

This is from the introduction to Bill Bryson's Short History of Nearly Everything
(click).
I don't know why he chose the word station (perhaps someone else knows?)
but the meaning is clearly as Bevj suggests.
我不知他(作者)为何用了station这个字,但意思显然如甲君所说.

之后还有人谈及station在这里的用法
涉及圣经所曾经的用法...
在此不谈了
希望这些资料有你的理解

我也觉得下面朋友的解说是很清楚了，你如果查找一下我们做油画行业的各时代的名师，他们就会按照英文字母首字母的顺序列出来，即：A, B, C, D, E, F,,,,,然后按姓名的首字母将他们分类以方便查找，很多查找都是以此方法，最普通的是你要是想取英文名（现成的）你只要GOOGLE一下ENGLISH NAMES或是分细一点FEMALE'S OR MALE'S从A－Z会全部列出来供大家选择一些常用的英...
