123. Chop Down the Trees 砍树

"You have to chop down those two trees," said the fire control agent. "Why do I have to chop down those two trees?" asked Diane. "Because those two trees are a fire hazard," said the fire control agent. "All trees are a fire hazard," said Diane. "Yes, but those two trees are a super fire hazard," said the agent. "Why are those two trees a super fire hazard?" Diane asked. "Because those two trees are right next to your house. Chop them down," he said. Diane was poor. She couldn't afford to pay someone to chop the trees down. The agent said, "Chop them down, or I will fine you." The next day, she poured gasoline on both trees. Then she set them on fire.

“你必须砍倒那两棵树，”消防队员说。“我为什么要砍倒那两棵树？”黛安娜问。“因为那两棵树有火灾危险，”消防人员说。“所有的树都有火灾危险，”黛安娜说。“是的，但那两棵树是一个超级火灾隐患，”这位代理人说。“为什么这两棵树是超级火灾隐患？”黛安娜问。“因为那两棵树就在你的房子旁边。把它们砍掉，”他说。黛安娜很穷。她付不起钱请人砍树。探员说：“把它们砍下来，否则我就罚你。”第二天，她把汽油倒在了两棵树上。然后她放火烧了他们。
