【課文】
Firemen had been fighting the forest for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control. A short time before, great trees had covered the countryside for miles around. Now, smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills. Winter was coming on and the hills threatened the surrounding villages with destruction, for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well. When the fire had at last been put out, the forest authorities ordered several tons of a special type of grass-seed which would grow quickly. The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by aeroplanes. The planes had been planting seed for nearly a month when it began to rain. By then, however, in many places the grass had already taken root. In place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.
消防員與森林大火搏斗了近三周,才終于將其控制住。不久之前,參天大樹(shù)還覆蓋著周?chē)鷶?shù)英里之內(nèi)的鄉(xiāng)村。如今,溫暖的地面上仍從荒涼的山丘間升起裊裊煙霧。冬天即將來(lái)臨,山丘對(duì)周邊村莊構(gòu)成了毀滅性的威脅,因?yàn)榇笥瓴粌H會(huì)沖走土壤,還會(huì)導(dǎo)致嚴(yán)重的洪水。大火最終被撲滅后,林業(yè)部門(mén)訂購(gòu)了幾噸一種能迅速生長(zhǎng)的特種草籽。飛機(jī)在空中大量播撒這種草籽。飛機(jī)播種近一個(gè)月后,下起了雨。然而,到那時(shí),許多地方的草已經(jīng)扎根。原本數(shù)世紀(jì)以來(lái)一直生長(zhǎng)著大樹(shù)的地方,黑土之上開(kāi)始出現(xiàn)一片片綠色。
