内容摘要 In The Edge of the Sea Rachel Carson introduces us to the ‘strange and beautiful place’ where the sea meets the land. She explores a tide pool, an inaccessible cave, and watches a lone crab on the shore at midnight. From these, and other, encounters she offers us not just a scientifically accurate study of the ecology of the seashore, but also a hauntingly beautiful account of the fragile balance of life found at the edge of the sea. The Edge of the Sea, like all her writing, sounds a prophetic alarm for the damage mankind is doing to the natural world, but also offers us inspiration: here is beauty, here is something worth saving.在《海边》中,雷切尔·卡森向我们介绍了大海与陆地交汇的“陌生而美丽的地方”。她探索了一个潮汐池、一个人迹罕至的洞穴,并在午夜观察岸边一只孤独的螃蟹。通过这些以及其他的遭遇,她不仅为我们提供了对海滨生态的科学准确的研究,而且还为我们在海边发现的脆弱的生命平衡提供了令人难以忘怀的美丽描述。就像她所有的作品一样,《海的边缘》为人类对自然世界造成的破坏敲响了预言性的警钟,但也为我们提供了灵感:这里有美丽,这里有值得拯救的东西。
