Everyone I meet claims to love trees -- I mean really love trees -- yet collectively the human race behaves as if it abhors green things. If you take a step back from whatever biome you are in at the moment and look at the entire Earth and its forests through recorded history, you will see that the relationship between humans and trees looks Strangely Like War (the title of a recent book on forests by Derrick Jensen and George Draffan).
我遇到的每一个人都声称他们喜欢树，我是说真的喜欢，然而从总体上讲人类的行为却似乎让人感觉它憎恶绿色。如果你从你现在所处的任一生物群落区抽身，从历史记载上来看整个地球和它的森林，你会发现人类和树木的关系看上去奇怪地像一场战争（这是德里克·简森和乔治·德拉芬最近出版的一本关于森林的书名）。
