英语翻译
Where you are dropped,as the saying is,is who you are,at least in a certain limited sense.If you are dropped in Bitlis but are soon taken to New York,Bitlis is less who you are than New York is but the place you knew first is at least a large part of who you are.Places make people.They very definitely do,almost physically.Places procreate.They are part of the human procreation process.There are many men and women who wouldn’t think of engaging in the procreative act in certain places of the world,and there are other places in which nothing seems more right and pleasant.There are places that are all business,and places that are all fun and frolic,and still other places that are all light and song and the senses and love.
---Places and People,by Willian Saroyan

俗话说,生在哪里,就长成哪样的人,至少从某种狭义上来讲是这样.如果你出生在比特利斯,但不久被送至纽约,在塑造你的性格方面,纽约对你的影响更甚于比特利斯.但是,你最先了解的地方,至少构成你性格的一大部分.一方水土养一方人.事情确实如此,几乎是物质性的.土地能生殖繁育,是人类生育过程的一部分.许多男男女女不会考虑在世界的某些地方繁衍生息,而却把另外一些地方看成十全十美的乐土.在人们的眼中,有些地方枯燥乏味,有些地方欢乐无限,而另有些地方则充满阳光、歌声、温情和爱恋.
