3、。很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。或许这也没有什么不好,因为,正 如吉姆多尔蒂当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样,农耕生活远非轻松 自在。但他写道,自己并不后悔,对自己作出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。Mr.Doherty Builds His Dream LifeJim Dohert y1 There are t wo t hings I have always want ed t o do writ e and live on a farm.Today Im doing bot h.I am not in E.B.Whit es class as a writ er or in
