摘　　要：缅因州冬季漫长寒冷,据回忆和一些老人说,过去更长更冷。梭罗1850年前的一篇日志上不出意外记载了,4月中还下过相当大的一场雪。那是在马萨诸塞州,如今仍属于气候温和的东部再往北、往东,出了新罕布什尔州,就到了緬因州南部的萨科河,从人类学角度看,这条河是东部林K和东部亚北极地区公认的分水岭。Here in Maine,winter is long and cold.In the past it was even longer and colder,or so memory and certain old people suggest.One of Thoreau’s journal entries from before 1850 notes without surprise a fairly heavy snowfall in mid-April.That was in Massachusetts,which is still part of the temperate east.Farther north and east,beyond New Hampshire,the Saco River in southern Maine is the accepted anthropological divisor of the Eastern Woodlands region from the Eastern Subarctic region.“Subarctic”refers to a length and depth of winter freeze which is something less than polar.
