在佐治亚州雅典市,有一处颇为奇特的当地地标——一棵几乎人人都说拥有自己的大白橡树。因此,它被认为是世界上最著名的树木之一。那么,这棵树究竟是如何拥有自己以及周围土地的呢?
据报道,19世纪的某个时候,一位名叫威廉·杰克逊上校的佐治亚州人喜欢上了这棵树,并努力保护它免受任何危险。至于他为何如此喜爱它,目前有文字记载的最早叙述,是《雅典周报》于1890年8月12日刊登的一篇匿名头版文章。文章写道:“杰克逊上校从童年起就看着这棵树长大,并逐渐像爱一个人那样爱上了它。它繁茂的枝叶和粗壮的树枝常常为他遮挡大雨,而在那最高的枝桠上,他曾多次找到鸣禽的鸟蛋。他注视着它的成长;当自己步入老年,看到这棵树以雄伟的姿态挺立时,一想到自己死后它可能会落入那些会毁掉它的人手中,他便感到痛苦。”
为了实现这一目的,杰克逊通过一份契据,将这棵树及其周围的一小块土地的所有权转让给了这棵树本身。契据上写道:“W. H. 杰克逊出于对上述树木的深厚感情,以及希望看到它受到保护的强烈愿望,特将该橡树本身及其四周八英尺以内的全部土地的完全占有权转让给该橡树。”
随着时间推移,这棵树逐渐成了一个旅游景点,被称为“拥有自己的树”。然而,20世纪初,这棵树开始显现出缓慢死亡的迹象,人们对此几乎无能为力。最终,岁月会降临到我们每个人身上,即使是那些往往长寿、高大且枝叶繁茂的地球守护者也不例外。1942年10月9日,这棵高逾30米、树龄在200至400年之间的树倒下了;据传,它是由于一场强烈的风暴,和(或)此前已经死亡、根部腐烂所致。
大约四年后,初级女士园艺俱乐部的成员(她们曾在这棵树不幸死亡前照料过它)找到了一棵由原树果实中的一颗坚果培育而成的小树。于是,1946年10月9日,在佐治亚大学农业学院罗伊·鲍登教授的指导下,这棵小树被移植到了其祖先所在的位置。几个月后,人们举行了一场正式仪式,雅典市市长罗伯特·L·麦克沃特亲自出席,以纪念这一时刻。
这棵新树被称为“拥有自己的树之子”,人们认为,作为原树的继承者,它自然继承了自己所立之处的土地。当然,据知还有几十棵其他树木是原树的后代,因为人们拿走它的坚果并在别处培育成树是必然会发生的事。话虽如此,迄今为止,原树的其他子代没有一棵向法院请求分得土地,因此看来一切都没有问题。无论如何,“拥有自己的树之子”至今仍然屹立在那里,尽管人们常常只是把它称为“拥有自己的树”。
这一切最终都让我们不得不思考:杰克逊当初是否真的把这棵树的法定所有权转让给了它自己,以及这样的契据是否具有法律约束力。
首先,事实证明,杰克逊一生只在雅典市生活了大约三年,从1829年到1832年,开始居住时已经43岁。这在某种程度上否定了他从童年起就在树下度过时光、看着它成长,并担心自己死后它会遭遇什么的说法。此外,对雅典市土地所有权记录进行的广泛查找似乎表明,杰克逊从未拥有这棵树所在的土地。
在那三年里,他确实住在紧挨着这棵树的一大片土地上,但尚不清楚那片土地是否归他所有。无论情况如何,1832年,一块四英亩的土地被出售给大学教授马尔萨斯·A·沃德;这块土地包括树木所在之地、杰克逊居住的相邻土地,以及其他土地。在这笔交易中,沃德被要求向杰克逊支付1200美元(按今天的价值约合3.1万美元),这笔钱要么是购买该地产的价款,要么只是对杰克逊在这块土地上所作改良的补偿。归根结底,无论杰克逊是否曾拥有相邻地块,还是只是在据称于大学任职期间获准使用该地块,他肯定从未拥有那棵树生长所在的地块,而这正是眼下这个话题中最重要的一点。
沃德教授买下土地后,杰克逊和他的家人在几英里外购买了一块655英亩的土地,并搬到了那里。十年后,也就是1844年,杰克逊似乎陷入了经济困境,他的小型种植园被克拉克县治安官办公室查封,并被拍卖以偿还抵押贷款。因此,假如他曾在雅典市拥有一些土地,包括那棵树所在的土地,那么他大概会把它卖掉以筹集资金,或者那块土地也会一并被查封。
无论实际情况如何,杰克逊都应该知道,要让契据所涉及的土地真正得到长期保障,就必须缴纳该土地的财产税。然而,没有任何账目或记录表明,曾设立过信托或类似安排来处理这件事。
除此之外,没有确凿证据表明这样的契据曾经存在过,尽管雅典市的契据记录可以追溯到杰克逊1876年去世前几十年,而且据那位声称见过该契据的匿名新闻记者所说,1890年时它本应还存放在档案中。
从上述一切情况来看,你或许可以想象,很少有人相信这一版本的故事。那么,这一切究竟是如何产生的呢?
人们推测,这个故事是《雅典周报》那位匿名作者凭空想象出来的;该报此前于1890年刊登了一篇头版文章,标题为《转让给它自己》。顺便一提,那篇文章中有几个要素更容易被证明是虚假的。至于作者为何要这样做,人们推测,这或许是19世纪版本的“诱导点击式”思维练习,讨论的是把这样一种没有意识的生物转让给它自己是否合法。
无论如何,关于“拥有自己的树”的下一次已知记载,直到1901年才出现,刊载于同一份报纸《雅典周报》的百年纪念版中。该记载显然只是照抄了大约十年前刊登的原文,只稍作改写。下一次记载出现在1906年,同样刊载于《雅典周报》,也同样明显是对最初记载稍作改写后的翻抄,相当于19世纪版本的转发,因为读者已经忘记了原文。
陈述句与逐句解析
据说Jackson将这棵橡树的所有权转让给了橡树本身,以保护它免遭破坏。
为防止被毁而转让所有权
Towards this end, Jackson transferred by means of a deed ownership of the tree and a little land around it to the tree itself.
为此,杰克逊通过一份契约的方式,把这棵树以及它周围一小片土地的所有权转让给了树本身。
- transferred his ownership of the oak tree to itselftransferred by means of a deed ownership of the tree ... to the tree itself
动作部分关键词原样复现
- in order to protect it from being destroyedhis great desire to see it protected
目的状语的同义替换 + 否定显隐
- B
Col. Jackson had watched the tree grow from his childhood, and grew to love it almost as he would a human 解释他为何爱树,是 C 段动作的情感铺垫,但本段并未出现『转让所有权』这一关键动作,因而不是源头段。
he was pained to think that after his death it would fall into the hands of those who might destroy it
经过广泛搜索,没有找到证据证明Jackson曾经拥有过橡树生长所在的那片土地。
大量检索无证据证明杰克逊拥有该地
Further, an extensive search of land ownership records in Athens does not seem to indicate Jackson ever owned the land the tree sits on.
此外,对雅典市土地所有权档案的一次大规模检索似乎也没能表明杰克逊曾经拥有过那棵树所在的土地。
- No proof has been found from an extensive searchan extensive search of land ownership records in Athens does not seem to indicate
『未能表明』≈『没找到证据』的隐性否定
- Jackson had ever owned the land where the oak tree grewJackson ever owned the land the tree sits on
几乎逐词对应
- L
there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed 否定的是『契约存在过』,与题干 Jackson had ever owned the land 否定的是『他曾拥有土地』,否定的宾语完全不同,因而不是源头段。
there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed
- I
he definitely never owned the lot the tree grew on 虽然结论同向,但该段重点在四英亩交易与 1200 美元,并未点出『大规模档案检索』这一题干硬锚点;因而只是局部相关,不是 37 题的源头段。
he definitely never owned the lot the tree grew on, which is the most important bit for the topic at hand
下大雨时,Jackson经常在一棵据说拥有自己的大树下避雨。
下大雨时常在树下避雨
Its luxuriant leaves and sturdy limbs had often protected him from the heavy rains, and out of its highest branches he had many a time gotten the eggs of the feathered singers.
这棵树茂密的枝叶和粗壮的枝条常常把他从大雨中庇护下来,他还多次从最高的枝头上掏过鸣禽的蛋。
- When it was raining heavilyfrom the heavy rains
时间从句压缩成名词短语
- Jackson often took shelter under a big treeIts luxuriant leaves and sturdy limbs had often protected him
主动『他避雨』≈ 被动『树庇护他』
- C
Jackson transferred by means of a deed ownership of the tree 与下雨场景毫不相干,C 段只共享专名 Jackson 与同一棵树,不承载题干的雨中避雨细节。
his great desire to see it protected has conveyed unto the said oak tree entire possession of itself
没有证据表明Jackson曾安排为橡树所在的土地缴纳财产税。
无证据证明他为缴财产税做过安排
Yet no account or record indicates any trust or the like was set up to facilitate this.
然而没有任何说法或记录显示曾设立过任何信托之类的安排来落实这一点。
- There is no evidence that Jackson had made arrangements to pay property taxesno account or record indicates any trust or the like was set up to facilitate this
抽象的『安排』下位化为具体的『信托』
- for the land on which the oak tree satproperty taxes needed to be paid on the deeded land
『树所在地』≈『契约所及之地』
- L
there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed 否定的是契约本身的存在,与题干 to pay property taxes 这一税务安排无关,不是源头段。
there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed
Ward教授从Jackson手中购买一块土地时向他支付了一千多美元。
Ward 教授付杰克逊一千多美元
In the transaction, Ward was required to pay Jackson a sum of $1,200 (about $31,000 today), either for the property itself or simply in compensation for improvements Jackson had made on the lot.
在这笔交易中,Ward 被要求付给杰克逊 1200 美元(按今天的币值约 3.1 万美元),要么作为这处地产本身的款项,要么仅作为对杰克逊在该地块上所做改良的补偿。
- Professor Ward paid Jackson over one thousand dollarsWard was required to pay Jackson a sum of $1,200
$1,200 落在『一千多美元』的范围里
- when purchasing a piece of land from hima four acre parcel ... was sold to University professor Malthus A Ward
『从他这里买地』对应『四英亩地块卖给 Ward』
- J
had his little plantation seized by the Clarke County Sheriff's office and auctioned off to settle the mortgage 讲的是杰克逊家庄园被法警拍卖偿债,没有出现 Ward 也没有具体金额,与题干 Professor Ward paid Jackson 的人物方向相反,属于话题相邻但人物方向不符。
had his little plantation seized by the Clarke County Sheriff's office and auctioned off to settle the mortgage
据说这棵拥有自己的树在一场强风暴中倒下了。
该树在强风暴中倒下
Finally, on October 9, 1942, the over 30 meter tall and 200-400 year old tree fell, rumor has it, as a result of a severe windstorm and/or via having previously died and its roots rotted.
最终在 1942 年 10 月 9 日,这棵超过 30 米高、树龄 200 至 400 年的大树倒下了;传言说是由于一场强风暴,又或是因为它早已死去、树根烂掉所致。
- the tree that owned itself fellthe over 30 meter tall and 200-400 year old tree fell
关键动词 fell 原样复现
- in a heavy windstormas a result of a severe windstorm
heavy ≈ severe 的同义替换
关于这棵橡树的故事被怀疑是作为一个思想实验而编造出来的。
故事被疑为思想实验
As to why the author would do this, it's speculated perhaps it was a 19th century version of a click-bait thought exercise on whether it would be legal for someone to deed such a non-conscious living thing to itself or not.
至于作者为什么这么干,有人猜测,这或许是 19 世纪版的标题党式思想实验:探讨把这种没有意识的活物所有权授予它自己在法律上是否可行。
- The story of the oak tree is suspected to have been inventedIt is speculated to have been invented by the imagination of the said anonymous author
suspected ≈ speculated 的同义替换
- as a thought exercisea 19th century version of a click-bait thought exercise
thought exercise 关键术语原样复现
- M
So how did all of this come about then? 只是过渡反问,没有提到 thought exercise,未承载题干的核心断言,因而不是源头段。

Jackson的小种植园在19世纪中叶被拍卖以偿还他的债务。
19 世纪中叶小庄园被拍卖抵债
Ten years later, in 1844, Jackson seemed to have come into financial difficulties and had his little plantation seized by the Clarke County Sheriff's office and auctioned off to settle the mortgage.
十年后即 1844 年,杰克逊似乎陷入了财务困境,他那座小庄园被克拉克县治安官办公室没收并拍卖以偿还按揭。

a four acre parcel ... was sold to University professor Malthus A Ward 是 1832 年的正常出售,既不是『auctioned off』,年份也偏早(19 世纪上半叶早期,并非中叶),与题干 auctioned off to settle his debt in the mid-19th century 不符。
in 1832 a four acre parcel ... was sold to University professor Malthus A Ward
举行了一场官方仪式来庆祝一棵小树移植到其祖先曾经站立的地方。
为小树移植到原址举行了官方仪式
A couple of months later, an official ceremony was held featuring none other than the Mayor of Athens, Robert L McWhorter, to commemorate the occasion.
几个月后还举行了一场正式仪式,由雅典市市长 Robert L McWhorter 亲自出席,以纪念这一时刻。

This new tree became known as The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself and it was assumed that, as the original tree's heir, it naturally inherited the land it stood on 讲的是新树继承土地的故事,与题干 An official ceremony 的官方仪式不在同一事件,属于话题相邻而非源头段。
This new tree became known as The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself
关于拥有自己的树的故事在当地报纸上出现过几次,措辞略有改动。
故事在当地报纸多次出现、措辞略改
This featured another account very clearly just copying the original article published about a decade before, only slightly reworded. The next account was in 1906, again in the Athens Weekly Banner, again very clearly copying the original account, only slightly reworded, the 19th century equivalent of re-posts when the audience has forgotten about the original.
这(1901 年那一期)刊登了另一篇报道,明显只是抄录大约十年前的那篇原始报道,只是稍作改写。下一次出现在 1906 年,又是登在 Athens Weekly Banner 上,又是明显抄录原文,只是稍作改写;这相当于 19 世纪版的『读者忘了原帖后再发一遍』。
- appeared in the local paper several timesthe next known instance of the Tree That Owns Itself being mentioned wasn't until 1901 ... The next account was in 1906, again in the Athens Weekly Banner

- In the city of Athens, Georgia, there exists a rather curious local landmark—a large white oak that is almost universally stated to own itself.
本句涵盖there exists倒装结构、同位语、限定性定语从句、被动语态、主语补足语、地点状语、程度状语等多种成分,结构丰富且包含易错点(如there exists的主语识别、被动语态中补足语的判定),适合作为成分划分的综合练习。
- Sometime in the 19th century a Georgian called Colonel William Jackson reportedly took a liking to the said tree and endeavored to protect it from any danger.
涵盖了主语(带后置定语)、并列谓语、宾语(含固定搭配和不定式)、时间状语、处所状语、前置和后置定语等多种成分,固定搭配 "take a liking to" 和 "endeavor to do" 有一定练习价值,但整体难度不高,缺少易错的复杂结构
- He watched its growth, and when reaching a ripe old age he saw the tree standing in its magnificent proportions, he was pained to think that after his death it would fall into the hands of those who might destroy it."
这种“并列句 + 多层从句嵌套 + 非谓语动词修饰”的结构是考研和真题长难句的典型样板。
- Towards this end, Jackson transferred by means of a deed ownership of the tree and a little land around it to the tree itself.
本句包含双宾语结构(直接宾语和间接宾语),直接宾语内部有并列和修饰关系,还有两个不同类型的状语(目的状语和方式状语),成分种类丰富。状语插入位置造成的宾语分隔是典型易错点,适合练习成分划分和识别干扰成分的能力。
- The deed read, "W. H. Jackson for and in consideration of the great affection which he bears the said tree, and his great desire to see it protected has conveyed unto the said oak tree entire possession of itself and of all land within eight feet of it on all sides."
句子成分丰富且有多个易错点:双宾语结构("conveyed unto the said oak tree entire possession")、主谓间插入的并列状语、定语从句中关系代词作宾语的提前、不定式短语作定语("to see it protected")、多层介词短语修饰;既涵盖多种成分类型,又包含插入、倒装等典型难点,作为划分练习句收益很高
- However, in the early 20th century, the tree started showing signs of its slow death, with little that could be done about it.
本句覆盖主语、谓语、宾语、时间状语、伴随状语,以及定语从句的主谓状结构,成分种类较丰富。特别是 "with + 名词 + 定语从句" 这种伴随状语的嵌套结构,以及定语从句中 "that" 作主语、情态被动式作谓语的组合,都是考试常见易错点,适合作为成分划分练习题,训练学生识别嵌套修饰关系和情态被动结构。
- Father time comes for us all eventually, even our often long lived, tall and leafy fellow custodians(看管者) of Earth.
本句涵盖主语、谓语、状语、同位语等多种成分,其中同位语较长且包含多层修饰(形容词、介词短语),适合练习识别同位语和区分修饰成分,有一定训练价值。
- Finally, on October 9, 1942, the over 30 meter tall and 200-400 year old tree fell, rumor has it, as a result of a severe windstorm and/or via having previously died and its roots rotted.
本句涵盖多种成分:主语、谓语、时间状语(两个层次)、原因状语(两个并列)、定语(并列修饰)、插入语(完整主谓宾结构),成分种类丰富;主语中的并列定语、fell后的插入语打断、原因状语中的动名词和独立主格结构,都是容易出错的划分点;适合作为综合性成分划分练习,帮助学生辨识修饰层次和插入结构。
- A couple of months later, an official ceremony was held featuring none other than the Mayor of Athens, Robert L McWhorter, to commemorate the occasion.
本句在一个简单句框架内集中展示了时间状语、后置定语(现在分词短语)、同位语、目的状语(不定式)等多种常见成分类型,且被动语态的主语识别、非谓语动词与谓语的区分都是易错点,作为成分划分练习句有较好的覆盖面和针对性。
- This new tree became known as The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself and it was assumed that, as the original tree's heir, it naturally inherited the land it stood on.
句子成分丰富,涵盖主语、谓语、表语、宾语、方式状语、程度状语、地点状语等多种成分。形式主语结构、系表结构、被动语态、定语从句修饰、插入状语等都是常见易错点。第二个主句中形式主语 it 与真正主语从句的区分、定语从句省略关系代词的识别、以及多层嵌套中各成分的归属判断,都是优质的成分划分训练素材,收益较高。
- Of course, there are many dozens of other trees known to exist descending from the original, as people taking a nut from it to grow elsewhere was a certainty.
本句成分丰富且含多个训练价值点:there be 句型的主语识别、后置定语(过去分词短语和现在分词短语)的辨认、动名词复合结构作主语、原因状语从句的划分、不定式表目的等。这些都是常见易错点,适合作为成分划分的综合练习句。
- In any event, The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself still stands today, though often referred to simply as The Tree That Owns Itself.
句子涵盖主语、谓语、宾语、时间状语、频率状语、方式状语等多种成分,且包含复杂名词短语作主语、反身代词作宾语、省略结构、介词短语作状语等值得练习的点。定语从句中关系代词 "That" 既引导从句又充当主语,是常见易混点。适合作为成分划分练习材料。
- This all brings us around to whether Jackson ever actually gave legal ownership of the tree to itself in the first place and whether such a deed is legally binding.
本句展示了典型的 "主句 + 并列宾语从句" 结构,"whether" 引导的名词性从句在四六级和考研中高频出现。"bring...around to" 短语动词接从句的用法、以及双宾语结构都是常考句式。掌握本句的分析方法可迁移到大量类似结构。
- Well, to begin with, it turns out Jackson only spent about three years of his life in Athens, starting at the age of 43 from 1829 to 1832, sort of dismissing the idea that he loved the tree from spending time under it as a child and watching it grow, and then worrying about what would happen to it after he died.
该句包含了形式主语、省略引导词的宾语从句、并列的现在分词状语、同位语从句以及时间状语从句,是练习分析长难句结构及其修饰关系的极佳素材。
- Further, an extensive search of land ownership records in Athens does not seem to indicate Jackson ever owned the land the tree sits on.
主句 + 宾语从句 + 嵌套定语从句的三层结构,以及宾语从句省略 that、定语从句省略关系代词的压缩形式,都是四六级和考研真题中的高频句式。半系动词 seem + to do 的否定结构和介词后置的定语从句也是常考点,掌握本句分析方法可直接迁移到大量类似长难句,典型性很高。
- He did live on a lot of land directly next to it for those three years, but whether he owned that land or not isn't clear.
本句覆盖了主语、谓语、宾语、表语、地点状语、时间状语以及主语从句等多种成分,且第二个主句展示了从句作主语的典型用法,这是学生容易混淆的点。此外,"did live" 的强调结构和 "whether...or not" 的固定搭配都是值得练习的知识点。成分种类较丰富,有一定训练价值。
- In the end, whether he ever owned the neighboring lot or was simply allowed to use it while he allegedly worked at the University, he definitely never owned the lot the tree grew on, which is the most important bit for the topic at hand.
该句在主干识别、嵌套层次、成分划分和结构典型性四个维度都达到较高难度和价值,尽管时态相对简单,但整体作为训练材料仍具有很高的综合推荐度,适合用于强化学生对复杂从句嵌套和成分识别的能力。
- Thus, had he owned some land in Athens itself, including the land the tree sat on, presumably he would have sold it to raise funds or otherwise had it taken as well.
全句使用虚拟语气,条件从句用过去完成时倒装(had owned),主句用过去将来完成时(would have sold)加并列的使役结构(had it taken)。虚拟语气本身对基础学习者有较高门槛,且涉及过去完成、过去将来完成、使役用法多种形式组合,时态判定难度较大。
- Yet no account or record indicates any trust or the like was set up to facilitate this.
本句可练习识别省略 that 的宾语从句、被动语态谓语、目的状语(不定式),以及并列主语和并列宾语(or 连接)。成分种类较丰富,且宾语从句省略引导词是常见易错点,有一定训练价值。
- On top of all this, there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed, despite the fact that deed records in Athens go back many decades before Jackson's death in 1876 and that it was supposed to have existed in 1890 in the archives according to the original anonymous news reporter who claims to have seen it.
本句包含多种成分:there be 句型、定语从句修饰名词、同位语从句说明抽象名词、让步状语、多层嵌套定语从句。成分种类丰富,且同位语从句与定语从句在形式上相似,容易混淆,是很好的辨析练习材料。
- It is speculated to have been invented by the imagination of the said anonymous author at the Athens Weekly Banner in the aforementioned 1890 front page article titled "Deeded to Itself", which by the way contained several elements that are much more easily proved to be false.
主句涵盖形式主语、被动谓语、不定式作真正主语、方式状语(多层介词短语嵌套);两个定语从句分别示范关系代词作主语、被动谓语、宾语补足语、插入语等成分,成分种类丰富;特别是形式主语 "It" 与真正主语的对应、多层定语从句的先行词识别,都是易错高频考点,训练价值高。
- Whatever the case, the next known instance of the Tree That Owns Itself being mentioned wasn't until 1901 in the Centennial Edition of that same paper, the Athens Weekly Banner.
主句主语是一个长名词短语,内嵌定语从句和动名词短语,适合练习如何在复杂主语中定位核心名词和修饰成分;句中有时间状语、地点状语、同位语等多种成分,成分种类丰富;定语从句修饰主语内部的名词,是练习定语从句归属的典型例子。整体适合作为成分划分训练句。
- Professor Ward paid Jackson over one thousand dollars when purchasing a piece of land from him.
主句包含双宾语结构(paid Jackson over one thousand dollars),适合练习直接宾语和间接宾语的区分;从句涉及时间状语从句的省略现象(when purchasing省略自when he was purchasing),可训练学生识别省略结构和还原完整形式的能力。
