Abstract:This essay makes a case for Annie Dillard as a writer-activist who seeks to awaken her readers' active appreciation of the natural world through the art of creating sentences. By carefully following the artistic "lines," or passages, of seven sentences selected from five of her essays, readers can simulate the experience of being in nature through the syntactical "trees" of Dillard's sentences. These "tree-portraits" can thus heighten the readers' awareness, sharpen their focus, and awaken a deeply conflicted understanding of their place in the natural environment. Ultimately, within the structures of a well-crafted sentence or paragraph, readers get to participate in the challenges and tensions of that relationship.

透过树木看：安妮·迪拉德（Annie Dillard）作为作家-活动家

摘要：本文为安妮·迪拉德 (Annie Dillard) 作为一名作家活动家提供了一个案例，她试图通过创造句子的艺术来唤醒读者对自然世界的积极欣赏。通过仔细遵循从她的五篇文章中选出的七个句子的艺术“线条”或段落，读者可以通过迪拉德句子的句法“树”来模拟在大自然中的体验。因此，这些“树像”可以提高读者的意识，增强他们的注意力，并唤醒对其在自然环境中的位置的深刻冲突的理解。最终，在精心设计的句子或段落的结构中，读者可以参与到这种关系的挑战和紧张之中。
