I am the soil. I am in the hills, and in the valleys, the farms, the orchards.?Without me, humans could not exist, but you treat me like dirt.?Do you realize that I’m just a thin skin on this planet? And that I’m actually alive, full of organisms that grow your food, but I’m broken, aching, overused, sick because of you. You have withered me away to less than half of what I used to be, just over one hundred years ago. Are you paying attention? I am turning to dust. So maybe you could treat me with a little more respect. I suppose you still wanna eat, right?
我是土地，我在高山上、山谷中、農場裏、果園間。沒有我，人類無法生存，而妳們卻把我看的壹文不值。妳們可曾意識到，我就好像這地球的皮膚，只有薄薄的壹層。我也是有生命的，妳們的食物能夠生長，全靠我提供豐富的營養。但是我被妳們過度利用、過度開發、被侮辱、被損害。就是因為妳們，我只剩下不及壹百年前壹半的厚度。妳們註意到了嗎？我正在逐漸化為壹片荒蕪。或許妳們能夠對我多壹些尊重吧，我猜妳們不想餓肚子，對吧？
金句賞析：
Without me, humans could not exist, but you treat me like dirt.
沒有我，人類無法生存，而妳們卻把我看的壹文不值。
這個句子中有壹個固定的地道表達“treat ... like dirt”，此處語境中翻譯為“把……看的壹文不值”很準確，對應到中文中也可以用“視……如草芥”來表達，換在對待個人或者物品的時候也都可以用。
