肥沃

The fields around Evesham, an ancient market town with blessedly lush soil, are dotted with caravans and Portakabins, housing workers who pick and pack everything from asparagus to peas and cabbages.

伊夫舍姆是一座古老的集镇，拥有肥沃的土地，小镇周围的田野里到处都是活动房屋，分拣包装得工人就住在活动房屋和临时工棚里，他们分拣包装的东西有芦笋、豌豆和卷心菜。

Over the last 12,000 years, agriculture arose at not more than nine places on Earth, including China and the Fertile Crescent. Twelve thousand years ago, everybody alive was a hunter-gatherer; now almost all of us are farmers or fed by farmers.

在过去的12000年，农业在地球上到达的地方不超过9个，包括中国和肥沃的新月地带。12000年前，每一个生存的人都是狩猎和采集者；现在几乎我们全部都是农民或由农民养活。

Scientists believe that tuberculosis originated in the Fertile Crescent 9-10,000 years ago. And Jericho is one of the earliest cities on earth, about 11,000 years old.

科学家认为，肺结核于九千至一万年前出现在新月沃土（中东地区一块肥沃的新月形地带，从以色列延伸到波斯湾一带，包括两河流域），而耶利哥建立的时间约为1.1万年前，是地球上最早出现的城市之一。

The Fertile Crescent begins on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, and curves around like a quarter moon to the Persian Gulf.

Even the basic worldwide division among writing systems —— the sign-syllabic systems that probably originated in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East and spread over the Western world and the word-ideographic systems that originated in eastern Asia and spread through China, Japan, and other Asian countries —— seems to reflect cultural differences, or at least we can speculate that it does.

即使全世界文字体系的划分，如大概源出于中东肥沃的新月地带和传播到西方世界的符号—音节体系，以及源出于亚洲东部井在中国、日本和其它一些亚洲国家传播的单字一表意字，似乎也反映了文化上的差异，至少我们能猜测是如此。

They did so, first, in the Fertile Crescent, the sweep of productive land that ran through Iraq, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, from which Jericho, Ur, Nineveh and Babylon would emerge.

首先，在&新月沃地&（指穿越伊拉克、叙利亚、约旦及巴基斯坦等地区的一连串肥沃的土地，状似一轮新月）上，先后涌现了巴勒斯坦古城耶利哥、乌尔、古代亚述的首都尼尼微以及巴比伦。

Deriving its name perhaps from the Sumerian word eden, meaning "plain"(or perhaps from a word denoting "pleasure"), Eden was supposedly located in the Near East, close to Israel, its precise locale narrowed by the position of four rivers that formed out of the river that flowed out of Eden and nourished the garden: the Pishon, the Gihon, the Trigris, and the Euphrates, rivers that would seem to place the garden in the fertile crescent.

它的名称源自闪族人词乐园，意思是&平原&（或也许来自话表示&快乐&），据推测乐园位于近东，在以色列附近，它的精确位置被河流的四条河流的位置所成形，此河流流经乐园和滋养花园：the Pishon， the Gihon， the Trigris，和幼发拉底河河流好象就是肥沃的新月形花园。
