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。
