It is not necessarily those lands which are the most fertile or most favored in climate that seem to me the happiest, but those in which a long struggle of adaptation between man and his environment has brought out the best qualities of both.
在我看来，并不一定是那些最肥沃或气候最适宜的土地是最幸福的，而是那些人类与其环境之间长期的适应斗争使两者都具备了最好的品质的土地。
