许多人知道橄榄树大概是听了台湾作家三毛写的歌词《橄榄树》开始。在我没有去过西班牙前,也只是感觉《橄榄树》很好听,直到去了西班牙后,才知道什么是真正的橄榄树,以及橄榄树对西班牙人是多么重要。矮矮壮实的树干,由繁茂的枝叶簇拥着,如同一颗颗翡翠,错落有致地镶嵌在西班牙阳光普照的原野上,构成了一道绮丽独特的风景线。这就是世世代代养育着伊比利亚半岛的橄榄树。慢慢的历史流程,人与自然的不断交融,围绕着橄榄,渐渐形成了一种民俗文化。开车走在乡间,望着满山遍野的橄榄树,简直就是在欣赏一幅大自然的美景,令人赏心悦目。在接下来的几天旅程中,橄榄树每天都陪伴在我们身边,甚至晚上做梦也能梦见橄榄树。近距离观察挂果的橄榄树,我发现果实和树叶上都有一层厚厚的白色蜡纸覆盖。当地人告诉我,这样可以有效防止水分蒸发,所以在很多贫瘠干旱的土地上,可以看见成片的橄榄树生 Many people know that the olive tree probably started with the lyrics “Olive Tree” written by Taiwanese writer San Mao. Before I had been to Spain, I just felt that the “olive tree” was nice to hear until I went to Spain to know exactly what the real olive trees were and how important the olive trees were to the Spaniards. Dwarf strong trunk, surrounded by lush foliage, like a piece of jade, patchwork inlaid in the Spanish sun in the wilderness, constitute a beautiful and unique landscape. This is the olive tree that has raised the Iberian Peninsula from generation to generation. Slow historical process, the constant blending of man and nature, around the olive, and gradually formed a folk culture. Driving in the countryside, looking at the mountains of olive trees, is simply enjoying the beauty of nature, it is pleasing to the eye. During the next few days, the olive trees accompany us daily, dreaming of the olive trees even at night. Looking closely at the fruit-bearing olive tree, I found that the fruit and leaves were covered with a thick layer of white wax paper. Locals told me that this can effectively prevent the evaporation of water, so in many barren arid land, you can see into pieces of olive tree
