Nature's Way

Nature's Way We all know that working with nature is better than working against it. Just think of maple syrup, for example. Maple syrup comes from maple trees. It is made from the sap(the fluid)inside the trees. The problem is that the sap is like blood for a tree. A tree needs sap to live. A long time ago, people took too much sap from the trees. They made so many holes in the trunks that the trees died.

自然的方式 我们都知道与大自然一起工作更好，而不是反对它。举个例子，想想枫糖浆。 枫糖浆来自枫树。它是由树内部的汁液(液体)制成的。问题是，树液就像树的血液。树需要树液才能生存。 很久以前，人们从树上采了太多的树液。他们在树干上挖了那么多洞，树都死了。

Later, people learned to work with the trees without killing them. The trees could stay healthy and still produce lots of sap for maple syrup. Today, we use little pumps to get the sap out of the trees. They work so well that some trees have been producing sap for 150 years! It takes a lot of sap to make maple syrup. For just one litre of syrup, you need 30 to 40 litres of sap! So, if we take care of nature, it will share many treasures with us.

后来，人们学会了在不杀死树的情况下与树打交道。这些树可以保持健康，仍然产生大量的汁液用于制作枫糖浆。今天，我们用小抽水机把树液抽出来。 它们的效果非常好，有些树的汁液已经产生了150年!制作枫糖浆需要很多树汁。仅仅一升的糖浆，就需要30到40升的树液! 因此，如果我们爱护自然，它将与我们分享许多财富。
