In 1839 Charles Darwin published Journal of Researches into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries Visited During the Voyage of HMS Beagle Round the World, Under the Command of Captn. FitzRoy, R.N. It was a huge success in Britain and cemented Darwin’s fame as a naturalist. By then Charles and Emma had been married three years and had two children, and they decided it was time to leave London. They were tired of the crime, the coal dust that blackened their clothes, the horse dung that clung to their shoes. They wanted to raise their children in the countryside, where they had grown up. They picked out an estate called Down House, an 18-acre farm in Kent, 16 miles from London. Darwin became a gentleman farmer, planting flowers, buying a horse and a cow. He stopped mingling in the scientific societies altogether. He got whatever information he needed by letter or from carefully selected weekend guests.

很高興看到你準確地掌握了文章的細節！這題你觀察入微，展現出非常優秀的資訊對照能力。達爾文之所以決定搬離倫敦，最直接的原因就在於當時都市環境的惡劣。文中生動地描繪了工業革命後倫敦的慘狀：空氣中瀰漫著燻黑衣服的「煤灰（coal dust）」，街道上則是沾黏鞋底的「馬糞（horse dung）」，再加上治安問題，這些細節都指向了生活品質的低落。
生活品質與家庭願景的抉擇
達爾文與妻子艾瑪希望能讓孩子在像他們童年那樣的鄉間成長，這正對應了選項 (E) 中的 healthy environment（健康的環境）。雖然達爾文在搬家後依然維持著與科學界的聯繫，但他選擇以書信取代實體社交，這更說明了遷居的主要動力是為了家庭，而非為了事業上的新突破或躲避競爭。
