The tall Dahurian larch, the evergreen Scots pine, the slim and straight white birch, the cloud-piercing Korean aspen, the aromatic Siberian fir, along with black birch, oak, mountain elm, Chosenia arbutifolia—whatever they laid eyes on, they cut down.

高大的落叶松， 常青的樟子松，挺拔的白桦， 穿云的白杨，芬芳的西伯利亚冷杉， 还有黑桦、橡树、山榆、黄栌——他们看中什么，就砍什么向下。
