Wanting to build on some property I own, I paid a visit to the county planning office. “Okay, here is a list of trees you may not cut down. And here are the state strictures about wetlands development,” the woman said. “I was wondering if I could drive my ATV on it?” I asked tentatively. “Hey, it's your land,” she replied. “You can do whatever you want with it.”
我想在屬于我的土地上搞一些建筑,就到縣計劃辦公室去了一次。那個婦人說:“這是一張不準砍伐的樹木清單。這是州里對于濕地開發(fā)的限制規(guī)定。”我試探性地問:“我能不能在上面開我的全天候汽車?”她回答說:“嘿,這是你的地,你想干什么都行!”
