《寂静的春天》(Silent Spring)-文档资料
《寂静的春天》（Silent Spring）《寂静的春天》（SilentSpring）于1972～1977年间陆续译为中文，开首的几章曾在中国科学院地球化学研究所编辑出版的学术刊物“环境地质与健康”上登载过，全书于1979年由科学出版社正式出版。
20年后的今天，我们高兴地看到，在中国社会科学院哲学研究所吴国盛先生及吉林人民出版社的协同努力下，这本书得以纳入《绿色经典文库》再版。
我们衷心希望，这本彪炳史册的著作为中国环境保护事业带来的启迪和推动，能够继续下去。
《寂静的春天》1962年在美国问世时，是一本很有争议的书。
它那惊世骇俗的关于农药危害人类环境的预言，不仅受到与之利害悠关的生产与经济部门的猛烈抨击，而且也强烈震撼了社会广大民众。
你若有心去翻阅本世纪60年代以前的报纸或书刊，你将会发现几乎找不到“环境保护”这个词。
这就是说，环境保护在那时并不是一个存在于社会意识和科学讨论中的概念。
确实，回想一下长期流行于全世界的口号——“向大自然宣战”、“征服大自然”，在这儿，大自然仅仅是人们征服与控制的对象，而非保护并与之和谐相处的对象。
人类的这种意识大概起源于洪荒的原始年月，一直持续到20世纪。
没有人怀疑它的正确性，因为人类文明的许多进展是基于此意识而获得的，人类当前的许多经济与社会发展计划也是基于此意识而制定的。
蕾切尔．卡逊(RachelCarson)第一次对这一人类意识的绝对正确性提出了质疑。
这位瘦弱、身患癌症的女学者，她是否知道她是在向人类的基本意识和几千年的社会传统挑战?《寂静的春天》出版两年之后，她心力交瘁，与世长辞。
作为一个学者与作家，卡逊所遭受的诋毁和攻击是空前的，但她所坚持的思想终于为人类环境意识的启蒙点燃了一盏明亮的灯。
蕾切尔．卡逊1907年5月27日生于宾夕法尼亚州泉溪镇，并在那儿度过童年。
她1935年至1952年间供职于美国联邦政府所属的鱼类及野生生物调查所，这使她有机会接触到许多环境问题。

Background
Views on History
C. Big tradition and small tradition
An idea particularly important in the study of cultural anthropology.
✓ History is not a series of events that have a linear, causal relationship.
✓ The self-claimed objective analysis is impossible.
✓ Traditional historians ask, “What happened?” and “What does the event tell us about history?” New historicists ask, “How has the event been interpreted?” and “What do the interpretations tell us about the interpreters?”

Quotes from Rachel Carson
It is the public that is being asked to assume the risks that the insect controllers calculate. The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts. We still talk in terms of conquest. We still haven't become mature enough to think of ourselves as only a tiny part of a vast and incredible universe. Man's attitude toward nature is today critically important simply because we have now acquired a fateful power to alter and destroy nature.

Give reasons to support your point of view.
settlers moved during the 19th century to establish new farms and new cities. In films it is often shown as a place where cowboys and Native Americans fight each other, and where cowboys use guns rather than law to settle arguments. Therefore, a situation where there are no laws or controls is sometimes described as being like the Wild West.

Oral Work
Pesticides are not publicly dangerous. The major claims of Miss Rachel Carson's book, “Silent Spring”, are gross distortions of the actual facts, completely unsupported by scientific, experimental evidence, and general practical experience in the field. Her suggestion that pesticides are in fact biocides destroying all life is obviously absurd in the light of the fact that without selective biologicals these compounds would be completely useless.

Chemicals sprayed on croplands or forests or gardens lie long in soil, entering into living organisms, passing from one to another in a chain of poisoning and death.(--11) lie long in soil: they stay in soil for a long time because they don’t break down chemically there entering into living organisms, passing from one to another in a chain of poisoning and death: the chemicals that insecticides contain are likely to enter birds and animals in food, and then pass out in waste matter from their bodies, get into the soil and are absorbed by the plants that grow on it. When birds and animals and people eat the plants, these substances again are taken into their bodies. This process goes on and on endlessly, poisoning plant and animal life alike. In short, the chemicals tend to be endlessly recycled in the food chains.
