But Dillenius did, and his work impressed William Sherard, a leading English botanist.

但狄勒纽斯做到了这一点，他的成果给英国著名植物学家威廉·谢拉德留下了深刻的印象。

Sherard Clinksdale is the director of athletics, or sports at Indiana State.

谢拉德·克林克斯代尔是印第安纳州立大学的体育主任。

When Sherard died in 1728, Dillenius's fate changed overnight.

1728 年，谢拉德逝世后，狄勒纽斯的命运在一夜之间改变了。

For about four years, he worked on Sherard's pinax while hoping that one day he'd be free to devote himself to moss.

在大约四年的时间里，他一边编写谢拉德的图览，一边期望某天能自由地投身于苔藓研究。

Despite this omission, he wanted Richardson to convince Sherard to let him work on his dream — the History of Mosses.

尽管有此缺憾，狄勒纽斯还是希望理查森能说服谢拉德让他继续自己的梦想——撰写《苔藓史》。

Here, in gold-embroidered red doublet, jewelled surcoat, and gilt-edged ruff and wristbands, stood Sir Anthony Sherard, with his silver-and-black armour piled at his feet.

在这里，安东尼·谢拉德 (Anthony Sherard) 爵士身着金色刺绣红色紧身衣、镶嵌宝石的大衣、镀金边领口和腕带，脚下堆放着他的银黑色盔甲。

His publishers (and Sherard) feared that the people of Britain would not appreciate the name of a foreigner on a book about the mosses of their land.

他的出版商（和谢拉德）担心，英国人民不会喜欢在一本关于本国苔藓的书上看到一个外国人的名字。

Sherard left his books and plants to Dillenius, and a considerable amount of money to Oxford University to be used toward the maintenance of a professorship of botany.

谢拉德把他的书和植物留给了狄勒纽斯，还给了牛津大学一大笔钱，用于保留一个植物学的教授职位。
