摘　　要：人们往往混淆土地和乡野。土地是玉米生长的地方,沟壑出现的地方,也是抵押契据产生的地方。而乡野是土地的个性特征,是土壤、生命和气候的整体和谐。乡野不知道何谓抵押,何谓贫困,也不知晓形形色色的各类管理机构,因为乡野对自称其主人者的那些微不足道的紧迫琐事从来都超然物外。我那座农场的前主人是个酿私酒的家伙,可这与农场上的松鸡没丝毫关系,松鸡照旧傲然从灌木丛上方飞过,仿佛它们是某位国王的嘉宾.There is much confusion between land and country.Land is the place where corn,gullies,and mortgages grow.Country is the personality of land,the collective harmony of its soil,life and weather.Country knows no mortgages,no alphabetical agencies,no tobacco road;it is calmly aloof to these petty exigencies of its alleged owners.That the previous occupant of my farm was a bootlegger mattered not one whit to its grouse;they sailed as proudly over the thickets as if they were guests of a king.

关 键 词：管理机构 超然物外 整体和谐 抵押 琐事 个性特征 乡野 土地
