一片土地

• An american will build a house in which to pass his old age and sell it before the roof is on ; he will plant a garden and rent it just as the trees are coming into bearing ; he will clear a field and leave others to reap the harvest ; he will take up a profession and leave it , settle in one place and soon go off elsewhere with his changing desires
  一个美国人会造一个房子安度晚年但在屋顶建成之前卖了它；他会建造一个花园但在树已成形时出租它；他会耕耘一片土地但让别人去收获成果；他会热衷于一个职业然后放弃，带着变化无常的愿望从一个地方离开，去另一个地方。
