The Man Who Planted Trees

Unit 9

Extract 1

About forty years ago, I was taking along trip on foot over mountain heights quire unknown to tourists. All around was barren and colourless land. Nothing grew there but wild lavender.

After five hours’ walking I had still not found water. All about me was the same dryness, the same coarse glasses. I thought I saw in the distance a small black silhouette. It was a

shepherd. Thirty sheep were lying about him on the baking earth. He gave me a drink and

took me to his cottage on the plain

I felt peace in the presence of this man. I asked if I might rest here for a day. He found it quite natural – or , to be more exact, he gave me the impression that nothing could surprise him. I didn’t actually need to rest, but I was interested and wished to know more about him

Extract 2

I noticed that he carried for a stick an iron rod as thick as my thumb and about a metre and a half long. He began thrusting his iron rod into the earth, making a hole in which he planted an acorn; the he refilled the hole. He was planting oak trees.

After the midday meal he resumed his planting. I suppose I must have been fairly insistent in my

questioning, for he answered me. For three years he had been planting trees in this wilderness. He had planted one hundred thousand. Of the hundred thousand, twenty thousand had sprouted. Of the twenty thousand he still expected to lose half. There remained ten thousand had grow where nothing had grown before.

That was when I began to wonder about the age of this man. He was obviously over fifty. Fifth-five he told

me. His name was Elzeard Bouffier. I told him that in thirty years his ten thousand oaks would be

magnificent. He answered that if God granted him life, in another thirty years he would have planted so many more that these ten thousand would be like a drop of water in the ocean.

The next day we parted.

Đoạn trích 2:

Tôi để ý thấy rằng ông ta mang một cây gậy sắt tròn dày như ngón cái của tôi và dài một mét rưỡi. Ông ta bắt đầu thọc mạnh thanh sắt xuống đất , đào một cái hố rồi đặt quả cây sồi vào rồi lấp cái hố lại. Ông ta đang trồng những cây sồi.

Sau bữa ăn trưa, ông ta bắt đầu lại với công việc trồng cây của mình. Tác giả sử tôi phải nhấn mạnh tính công bằng trong câu hỏi của mình, ông ấy đã trả lời tôi. Trong vòng ba năm trở lại đây ông ấy đã trồng cây trên mảnh đất hoang dã này. Ông ấy đã trồng được hơn 100,000 cây. Trong đó hơn 20,000 cây đã nảy mầm. Trong số 20,000 cây ông ấy vẫn mong đợi đã chết môt nửa. Một nửa còn lại 10,000 cây sồi đã phát triển ở những nơi mà chúng chưa từng phát triển trước đây.

Từ đó tôi đã bắt đầu tự hỏi về tuổi của người đàn ông này. Ông ấy rõ ràng hơn 50 tuổi. Ông ấy nói với tôi là 55 tuổi. Tên ông ấy là Elzeard Bouffier. Tôi nói với ông ấy rằng trong 30 năm, 10 ngàn cây sồi của ông ấy sẽ gây ấn tượng mạnh. Ông ấy trả lời rằng nếu Chúa ban phước lành cho cuộc sống của ông ấy, trong 30 năm ấy, ông ấy sẽ trồng được nhiều cây hơn, con số 10 ngàn kia sẽ chỉ như giọt nước giữa đại dương.

Ngày mai chúng tôi phải tạm biệt nhau.

4 How old do you think the writer was at the time of the story? A boy in his teens? In his twenties? Middle-aged? Older? Why?

The writer is a boy in his teens at the time of the story. Because he wrote this story in 1913 and he was born in 1895

5 How old will Elzeard be in thirty years time? What year will it be?

He will be 85 years old. He is 55 now in the story, so in thirty years time he’ll 85. It’s 1913 now in the story, so in thirty years time it’ll be 1913

6 What do you think Elzeard ‘s ambition is? What is his vision of the future?

Elzeard’s ambition is in another thirty years he would have plants so many more trees and these ten thousand would be like a drop of water in the ocean

Extract 3

I had seen too many men die during those five years not to imagine easily that Elzeard Bouffier was dead, especially since, at twenty, one regards men of fifty as old as men with nothing left to do but die. He was not dead. As a matter of fact, he was extremely well. He had changed jobs. He had got rid of the sheep because they threatened his young trees. For, he told me, the war had disturbed him not at all. He had imperturbably continued to plant

The oaks were then ten years old and taller than both of us. It was an impressive spectacle. I was literally speechless, and as he did not talk, we spent the whole day walking in silence through his

forest. It measured eleven kilometers in length and three kilometers at its greatest width. When you remembered that all this had come from the hands and the soul of this one man, you understood that men could be as effective as God in ways other than destruction

Unit 9

7 Why did the writer think that Elzeard Bouffier might have died?

Because when he met Elzeard Bouffier he (the writter) was only 20, and at the age someone over 50 seems old and likely to die soon

8 How had the war affected Elzeard?

Unit 9

The writer returns for a final visit in

1945 after World War II Elzeard is still

alive The writer is amazed at what he

sees Not only is there the forest, but

many villages have been rebuilt, and

by 1953 more than ten thousand

people in the area owe their

happiness to Elzeard Bouffier.

Nhà văn trở lại trong một chuyến thăm cuối cùng trong năm 1945 sau Thế chiến II Elzeard vẫn còn sống Nhà văn ngạc nhiên trước những gì ông nhìn thấy Không

chỉ có rừng, nhiều làng nghề đã được xây dựng lại, và năm 1953 hơn mười nghìn người trong khu vực này nợ Elzeard Bouffier về hạnh phúc của họ.

been built. Ruins had been cleared away, and five houses restored. Now there were twenty-eight inhabitants, four of them young married couples. It was now a village where one would like to live.When I think that one man was able to cause this land of Canaan to grow from wasteland, I am

convinced that in spite of everything, humanity is good

Elzeard Bouffier died peacefully in his sleep in 1947

11 What has happened in the writer’s life that could have made him pessimistic? Is he in fact

pessimistic about the world? Give a reason for your answer

There have been two world wars. He’s not pessimistic because when he sees the results of Elzeard Bouffier’s work, not just forests but villages, he is convinced that despite such things as wars,

humanity is still good – although there is evil in the world, there is also good

12 How is it that so many people owe their happiness to one man? What are the results of his tree-planting?

Because of the trees, the land is not barren any more and people have returned to the villages. They can farm the land again and bring up their families in beautiful surroundings

13 How old is Elzeard when he dies? Why is it so important that he had a long life?

We learnt earlier that in 1943 he was 85. He dies in 1947. Therefore he is 89 when he dies. It is

important that he had a long life because he was able to plant so many trees
