From St. John to Montreal the route lies largely through an uncultivated country.
从圣约翰到往蒙特利尔的途中还会有很长一段路程途经一个野蛮。
The towns were deserted, and the country was left uncultivated; and the western provinces of Europe, which had enjoyed a considerable degree of opulence under the Roman empire, sunk into the lowest state of poverty and barbarism.
城镇空无一人,乡村一片荒芜。欧洲的西部省份在罗马帝统治下曾享有相当程度的富裕,但现在却陷入了最低级的贫困和野蛮状态。
Feeding and fattening countries, besides, must always be highly improved, whereas breeding countries are generally uncultivated. The high price of lean cattle, by augmenting the value of uncultivated land, is like a bounty against improvement.
此外,饲养和育肥家必须始终得到高度改进,而育种家通常是未开垦的。通过增加未开垦土地的价值,瘦牛的高价就像是对改良的赏金。
