庄稼地

• Hang d them in chains for a terror to others ; it is impossible to imagine almost , that this should have such an effect , as it had ; for the fowls wou d not only not come at the corn , but in short they forsook all that part of the island , and i could never see a bird near the place as long as my scare - crows hung there
  真想不到，这个办法居然十分灵光。从此以后，那些飞禽不仅不敢再到庄稼地来，甚至连岛上的这一边也不敢飞来了。在那些示众的死鸟挂在那儿期间，附近连一只鸟都看不见。
