植物的欲望

Hacker News 上怎么说

  ……我们通过不断重播它们来帮助它们生存和扩散——比方说玉米，可以说是这种适应策略的无冕之王。想了解更多的话，我强烈推荐 Michael Pollan 的《欲望的植物学》（Botany of Desire），或者想看个简短版的，可以看他在同一个主题上的 TED 演讲。

  …We contribute to their survival and spread by continually re-planting them -- corn, for example, is arguably the king of this kind of adaptation. For more on this, I highly recommend Michael Pollan's "Botany of Desire" or, for a shorter version, his TED talk on the same subject.

  ……走了一条和动物不同的适应度演化路径。植物演化出了对化学的神级操纵能力，远远超出了当今人类的制造能力，更不用说完全理解了。我最近刚读完 Michael Pollan 的《欲望的植物学》（Botany of Desire），书中描述了植物如何与人类共同演化，迎合我们对花卉、水果和蔬菜的选择偏好，以此来进一步扩散它们的 DNA。到底是谁在驯化谁？有意思……

  …different fitness track than that of animals. Plants have evolved incredible manipulation of chemistry, far beyond what humans can produce today, let alone even understand. I recently finished reading Botany of Desire (Michael Pollan) where he describes how plants have co-evolved with humans, appealing to our selection of flowers, fruits, and vegetables to further distribute their DNA. Who's actually farming who? Interesting…

  他现在看起来确实在走下坡路了。十年前我随手拿起他的书《欲望的植物学》（The Botany of Desire），当时完全不知道他是个什么样的作家，也没听说过他的大名。读起来非常有意思，尤其是关于苹果以及苹果品种历史的那部分。这让我去尝试了其他更好吃的品种……

  He does seem to be sliding down hill. A decade ago I picked up his book The Botany of Desire not knowing what kind of writer he was or his fame. It was a very interesting read, especially the part about apples and the history of their variety. It led me to try other, more delicious varieties…

  Honeycrisp（蜜脆苹果）简直绝了。Jazz 也很棒，如果你能买到的话。我们当地的杂货店有好多有趣的品种。另外，想更深入地了解苹果的生物多样性与市场力量的博弈，可以去读读 Michael Pollan 的《欲望的植物学》（The Botany of Desire）。

  Honeycrisp are amazing. So are Jazz, if you can find them. Our local grocer has many interesting kinds. Also, read Michael Pollan's "The Botany of Desire" for a more in-depth treatment of apple biodiversity vs. the market forces.

  Michael Pollan 相对冷门的一本书《欲望的植物学》（The Botany of Desire）非常值得一读，它考察了塑造人类历史的四种农作物——其中之一就是苹果。

  Michael Pollan's less known book, The Botany of Desire, is an excellent read and examines four crops -- one of them the Apple -- that have shaped human history.

  我强烈推荐 Michael Pollan 的《欲望的植物学》（The Botany of Desire），它在大自然的各种共生关系中更深入地探讨了这个观点。

  I highly recommend The Botany of Desire (Michael Pollan) which dives even deeper on this thought across a variety of relationships in nature.
