【摘要】：美国西部在历史上一直是一个充满神话和假说的地区,作为最后的边疆的美国大平原则是各种假说汇集的地方,美国人对于这一地区的认识经历了从较为悲观的"美洲大沙漠"到乐观的"雨随犁至"假说的转变。这两种假说对于美国西部开发、政府决策、乃至美国国内的地区关系都产生了深远影响。确立正确的自然观念对于人类改造自然的行动至关重要,错误的自然观念往往会导致灾难性的生态后果。
[Abstract]:The western United States has historically been a region full of myths and hypotheses, and the Great Plain, the last frontier, is the place where all kinds of hypotheses are gathered. Americans' understanding of the region has changed from the more pessimistic "American desert" to the optimistic "rain with ploughing to" hypothesis. These two hypotheses have a profound influence on American western development, government decision-making and even regional relations in the United States. It is very important to establish the correct concept of nature for human beings to transform nature, and the wrong concept of nature often leads to disastrous ecological consequences.
