那是在克尼斯纳,一个老林工正在解释如何伐树。他指出:要是你不知道那棵树砍了会倒在哪里,就不要去砍它。“树总是朝支撑少的那一方倒下,所以你如果想使树朝某个方向倒下,只要削减那一方的支撑便成了。”他说。我半信半疑,稍有差错,我们就可能一边损坏一幢昂贵的小屋,另一边损坏一幢砖砌的车库。 It was in Knysna, where an old grove was explaining how to cut trees. He pointed out: If you do not know where the tree is cut down, do not cut it. “The tree is always falling toward the one with less support, so if you want to make the tree fall in one direction, just cut back the support for that one,” he said. I doubt that with a little mistake, we could damage an expensive cottage on the one hand and damage a brick garage on the other.
