||1:The lawn is the archetypal enemy.||2:Why do Americans spend such huge amounts of time, money, water, fertiliser and fuel on growing a useless smooth expanse of grass? Much better to cultivate something useful, like tomatoes.||3:But how to do it? Mr Frauenfelder considers using herbicide to kill his unwanted lawn, but settles for covering it thickly with newspaper and weeding any grass that grows through: as with many of his projects, it is fun to start with, but becomes laborious .

||1:草坪就是个典型的敌人。||2:为什么美国人要把如此大量的时间、金钱、水、化肥和燃料花在一大片平整却毫无用处的草地上呢？还不如栽培些实用的东西，比如西红柿。||3:可是该怎么做呢？弗劳恩菲尔德先生也考虑过用除草剂来消灭那些无用的草坪，但他最终决定用报纸把草坪层层覆盖，然后再除去从中长出的任何一根草：这和他的很多方案一样，开头都很有趣，可随后就变得既耗时又费力。
