25、通过想象一个没有鸟类的世界，她的目标不仅是使科学界，而且也使普通大众意识到人类活动对自然生态系统的破坏性影响，特别是像DDT之类杀虫剂的有害使用。她认为化学工业正在明目张胆地对动植物，甚至对人类本身造成伤害，她希望人们在使用杀虫剂时能够更加负责、节制，并且严加监管。卡森敦促人们认清事实，并且为此做出努力。寂静的春天中含有大量的科学研究和真实案例。在灭除舞毒蛾项目这一案例中，她细致讲述了人们在消灭舞毒蛾的同时，也杀死了鸟类；另一个案例则是在开展消灭火蚁计划时，人们杀死的是奶牛，而非火蚁。该书还列举了许多其他的实例来说明一些根除方案根本没有采取任何措施来减少它们原本要解决的问题。这本书最后的五十几
26、页列出了卡森的资料来源，显示出她作为一名科学家的周密和严谨。卡森所述的事实让人们十分担忧，大大提升了人们保护环境的意识。它的巨大影响是立刻显现的和深远的：DDT的使用被禁止，环境保护署(EPA)在美国成立。寂静的春天因此被视为西方发起绿色运动的里程碑，这使作者在去世后获得了“总统自由勋章”的荣誉，美国17美分的邮票上也印上了她的头像。但并不是所有人都支持寂静的春天。虽然卡森的研究很有说服力，而且得到了大多数审阅过这本书的科学家的支持，但是这本书很快成为了杀虫剂行业批判的对象。他们说卡森并不理解她论证背后的科学原理，因为她是一位海洋生物学家，而非化学家。还有一些人说她的作品过于情感化，科学性并不
27、强。他们想要通过破坏卡森的名声来削减她的作品对公共政策的影响，但卡森仍然坚持自己的研究，在公众面前、在电视节目中捍卫自己的观点。在出版50多年后的今天，寂静的春天这本书发出的呼声仍在人们耳边清楚明白地回响着。而我个人也十分喜欢卡森的书。她把一个至关重要但可能难以理解的课题变得有趣，并易于被很多人理解。这并不都是因为她书中高质量的论点是多么强有力，而是因为她美丽和高雅的文笔让读者喜欢。她的书不仅在当时改变了世界，就是在半个世纪后的今天，它仍然值得人们重新阅读，以感受她充满感情的文字带给我们如火焰般的温暖。因为如果我们不听从卡森的劝告，可能有一天在我们醒来之后，真的会面对一个古怪而又相当恐怖的寂静的春天。
