The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where in spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. Then foxes barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists of the fall mornings.Along the roads, widflowers delighted the traveler's eye through much of the year. Even in winter the roadsides were places of beauty, where countless birds came to feed on the berries and on the seed heads of the dried weeds rising above the snow. The countryside was, in fact, famous for the abundance and variety of its bird life, and when the flood of migrants was pouring through in spring and fall, people traveled from great distances to observe them. Others came to fish the streams, which flowed clear and cold out of the hills and contained shady pool where trout lay.So it had been from the days many years ago when the first settlers raised their houses, sank their wells, and built their barns.Then a strange blight crept over the area and everything began to change. Some evil spell had settled on the community:mysterious maladies swept the flocks of chickens;the cattle and sheep sickened and died. Everywhere was a shadow of death. The farmers spoke of much illness among their families. In the town the doctors had become more and more puzzled by new kinds of sickness appearin among their patients. There had been several sudden and unexplained deaths, not only among adults but even among children, who would be stricken suddunly while at play and die within a few hours. There was a strange stillness. The birds, for example-where had they gone?Many people spoke of them, puzzled and disturbed. The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted. The few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they trembled violently and could not fly.It was a spring without voices. On the morinigs that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds, doves, and scores of other bird voices there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields and woods and marsh. On the farms the hens brooded, but no chicks hatched. The farmers complained that they were unable to raise any pigs-the litters were small and the young surviv only a few days. The apple trees were coming into bloom but no bees droned among the blossoms, so there was no pollination and there would be no fruit. The roadsides, once so attractive, wher now lined with browned and withered vegetation as though swept by fire. These,too, were silent, deserted by all living things. Even the streams were now lifeless. Anglers no longer visited them, for all the fish fad died. In the gutters of the roofs, a white powder still showed a few patches; some weeks before it had fallen like snow upon the roofs and the lawns, the fields and streams. No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken world. The people had done it themselves. This town does not actually exist, but it might easily have a thousand counterparts in America or elsewhere in the world. I know of no community that has experienced all the misfortunes I describe. Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communit have already suffered a substantial number of them. A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know. 呼..打完嚕..不知道一課有多少錢..目前我最高445吧..不知道這有沒有700以上= =" 有點想太多.. 看成績嚕... -- 我就是我怎樣.... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.68.144.96
