Unit 3 The Rite of SpringArthur Miller1.I have never understood why we keep a garden and why over 36 years ago when I bought myfirst house in the country, I started digging up a patch for vegetables before doing anything else. When you think how easy and cheap, relatively, it is to buy a bunch of carrots or beets, why raise them? And root crops especially are hard to tell apart, when store-bought, from our own. There is a human instinct at work here, a kind of back-breaking make-believe that has no reality. Besides, I don't particularly like eating vegetables. I'd much rather eat something juicy and fat. Like hot dogs.2.Now, if you could raise hot dogs outside your window, you'd really have something you couldjustify without a second's hesitation. As it is, though, I cannot deny that when April comes I find myself going out to lean on the fence and look at that miserable plot of land, resolving with all my rational powers not to plant it again. But inevitably a morning arrives when, just as I am awakening, a scent wafts through the window, something like earth-as-air, a scent that seems to come up from the very center of this planet. And the sun means business, suddenly, and has a different, deeper yellow in its beams on the carpet. The birds begin screaming hysterically, thinking what I am thinking—the worms are deliciously worming their way through the melting soil.3.It is not only pleasure sending me back to stare at that plot of soil, it is really conflict. Thequestion is the same each year—what method should we use? The last few years we put 36-inch-wide black plastic between the rows, and it worked perfectly, keeping the soil moist in dry times and weed-free.4.But black plastic looks so industrial, so unromantic, that I have gradually moved over to haymulch. We cut a lot of hay and, as it rots, it does improve the soil's Composition. Besides, it looks lovely, and comes to us free.5.Keeping a garden makes you aware of how delicate, bountiful, and easily ruined the surfaceof this little planet is. In that 50-by-70-foot patch there must be a dozen different types of soil.Tomato won't grow in one part but loves another, and the same goes for the other crops. I suppose if you loaded the soil with chemical fertilizer these differences would be less noticeable, but I use it sparingly and only in rows right where seeds are planted rather than broadcast over the whole area. I'm not sure why I do this beyond the saving in fertilizer and my unwillingness to aid the weeds.6.The attractions of gardening, I think, at least for a certain number of gardeners, are neuroticand moral. Whenever life seems pointless and difficult to grasp, you can always get out in the garden and get something done. Also, your paternal or maternal instincts come into play because helpless living things are depending on you, require training and encouragement and protection from enemies. In some cases, as with beans and cucumbers, your children—as it were—begin to turn upon you in massive numbers, growing more and more each morning and threatening to follow you into the house to strangle you in their vines.7.Gardening is a moral occupation, as well, because you always start in spring resolved to keepit looking neat this year, just like the pictures in the catalogues. But by July, you once again face the chaos of unthinned carrots, lettuce and beets. This is when my wife becomes—openly now—mistress of the garden. A consumer of vast quantities of vegetables, she does the thinning and hand-cultivating of the tiny plants. Squatting, she patiently moves down each row selecting which plants shall live and which she will cast aside.8.At about this time, my wife's 86-year-old mother, a botanist, makes her first visit to the garden.She looks about skeptically. Her favorite task is binding the tomato plants to stakes. She is an outspoken, truthful woman, or she was until she learned better. Now, instead of saying, "You have planted the tomatoes in the damp part of the garden," she waits until October when she makes her annual trip to her home in Europe; then she gives me my good-by kiss and says casually," Tomatoes in damp soil tend more to get fungi," and walks away to her plane. But by October nothing in the garden matters, so sure am I that I will never plant it again.9.I garden, I suppose, because I must. It would be intolerable to have to pass an unplantedfenced garden a few times a day. There are also certain compensations, and these must be what annually turn my mind toward all that work. There are few sights quite as beautiful as a vegetable garden glistening in the sun, all dewy and glittering with a dozen shades of green at seven in the morning. Far lovelier, in fact, than rows of hot dogs. In some pocket of the mind there may even be a tendency to change this vision into a personal reassurance that all this healthy growth, this orderliness and thrusting life must somehow reflect similar movements in one's own spirit. Without a garden to till and plant I would not know what April was for.10.As it is, April is for getting irritated all over again at this pointless, time-consuming hobby. I donot understand people who claim to "love" gardening. A garden is an extension of oneself—or selves—and so it has to be an arena where striving does not cease, but continues by other means. As an example: you simply have to face the moment when you must admit that the lettuce was planted too deep or was not watered enough, cease hoping it will show itself tomorrow, and dig up the row again. But you will feel better for not standing on your dignity.And that's what gardening is all about—character building. Which is why Adam was a gardener.(And all know where it got him, too.)11.But is it conceivable that the father of us all should have been a weaver, shoemaker, oranything but a gardener? Of course not. Only the gardener is capable of endlessly reviving so much hope that this year, regardless of drought, flood, typhoon, or his own stupidity, this year he is going to do it right! Leave it to God to have picked the proper occupation for his only creature capable of such self-delusion.12.I suppose it should be added, for honesty's sake, that the above was written on one of thecoldest days in December.。

现代大学英语第二版精读2 Unit 3 Translation The Rite of Spring
春之祭亚瑟•米勒说真的，我从来都不明白，我们到底为什么要有一个菜园子，为什么36年前，当我第一次在乡下买了房子以后，我会别的事情都不做，首先就挖一块菜地。
想想现在买一堆胡萝卜或者甜菜头，相对来说，那么容易，而且又那么便宜，为什么还要自己去种呢？尤其是那些块根植物，自己种的和店里买的，根本就很难分辨。
这里肯定有人的本性在起作用。
人就喜欢脱离现实，毫无意义地瞎折腾。
再说，我又并非特别喜欢吃蔬菜。
我宁可吃些油汪汪、香喷喷、一咬一口肉汁的东西，比如说热狗。
要说，如果能在窗外种热狗的话，那倒真的有了一种可以毫不犹豫为自己辩护的理由。
可是，在现在这种情况下，我无法否认，每当4月来临，我就会发现自己走出家门，倚着园子外的篱笆，望着那块倒霉的地，十分理智地下定决心再也不去种它了。
然而，总有那么一天，当我早晨醒来的时候，一股香味似乎从窗外飘进来，就好像来自地球中心的泥土的清香味。
这时，太阳似乎也突然认真起来，它投射到地毯上的光似乎比往常要更加深黄。
那些鸟开始歇斯底里地鸣叫，心里和我一样，想着那些美味可口的虫子正从那融化的土中慢慢爬出来。
让我回去看那块地的并不只是快乐，而是矛盾和斗争。
每年碰到的问题是一样的;今年我们该使用什么方法？前几年，我们在一行行的蔬菜之间放上了 36英寸宽的黑塑料薄膜。
效果极好。
干旱的时候能够保湿，而且保证没有杂草。
但是黑塑料薄膜一看就是来自工厂的东西，—点浪漫的情调都没有。
所以我就逐步改用干草作覆盖料。
我们收割了不少干草，草一腐烂，的确能改善土壤的结构。
再说，看起来很舒服，而且又不花一分钱。
家里有个菜园子能使你感觉到我们这个小小的星球的表面有多娇嫩，多丰饶，多容易被毁坏。
在我们那块50英尺宽、70英尺长的土地上，肯定有十几种不同的土壤。
西红柿在某个地方长不好，但是在另外一个地方却长得很好。
其他庄稼也一样。
我想，要是你在地里撒满化肥，这种差别就不会那么明显。
但是，我用化肥非常节省。
我只放一点在播了种子的地方，而不是漫撒在整片地上。
