答案
我查了一下,因为有些橡树的年龄可以达到1000岁以上.早期的希腊人认为它是最早出现在地球上的树种.早期的日耳曼人用橡树叶来做成花冠献给他们的英雄.
The King of the Forest.
Whosoever is fortunate enough to inhabit a dwelling sheltered by one or more oak trees has been greeted for the past month by the sharp tap,tap of the acorns falling on the roof,or driven by the wind sometimes against the window pane or side of the house.And should the house tree be one of a group that beautify a lawn,showers of the fringed cups and saucers in ones,twos and threes rattle to the ground.There perhaps one in many thousand fulfills its destiny and becomes,under the covering of earth that the rain or the aid of man may heap upon it,when the right season comes,a tiny treelet that after many years may repeat upon some other roof and to another people the tap,tap that it gave when it left the mother tree to journey alone.
King of the forest is this product of the acorn.Some are known to be more than a thousand years old.Since the very earliest times it has been worshiped,the Greeks believing it to be the first tree that grew upon the earth.The Romans crowned their heroes with a chaplet of oak leaves,the Druids offered sacrifices under its shade.Worshipers of Thor allowed no oak tree to be cut down lest the god of thunder would let his hammer descend upon them.
Quercus (beautiful tree),with its qualifying adjectives yellow,white,bur,red,scarlet,black is found in thirty or more varieties along our streams of the middle west,but we have few worshipers of Thor to prevent the ruthless worshipers of gold from destroying the oldest and largest ones of the stateliest trees in our forests; hence but few can be said to have come to the limit of their life.And as we whirl by the forests,we humans of the present day,we do not stop to worship,or even to admire.
And we leave it to the squirrels to live in and love them.
