221 far from being frivolous makebelieve, imagination is intensely practical. What we become conscious of, how we see it, and what we believe it means— and everything we leave out— are keys to navigating the world, whether to manage forests for Teddy Roosevelt’s Forest Service, to understand ecological connections as conservation biologists, or to survive in a harsh new place while seeking Christian salvation.

爱上帝的野性：美国文学中生态伦理的基督教根源，杰弗里·比尔布罗着

221 远非轻浮的虚构，想象力是极其实用的。我们意识到什么、我们如何看待它以及我们相信它意味着什么——以及我们遗漏的一切——是导航世界的关键，无论是为泰迪罗斯福的林务局管理森林，还是作为保护生物学家理解生态联系，或者在寻求基督徒救赎的同时在严酷的新地方生存。(7)
