原文：
Then, in 1962, came a book called Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. A powerful indictment of America’s disregard of ecology, Silent Spring was aimed chiefly at the wholesale use of chemical pesticides, especially DDT. In 1965 a court action took place that ranks in environmental importance with the publication of Silent Spring. That was the reversal by a court of appeals of a Federal Power Commission decision to grant a license for a Consolidated Edison power plant at Storm King Mountain on the Hudson River in New York. The court ordered new proceedings that were to “include as a basic concern the preservation of natural beauty and of national historic shrines.”
译文：
1962年，蕾切尔·卡森的著作《寂静的春天》问世。该书有力地控诉了美国在生态上的淡漠，主要矛头直指美国大规模使用以DDT为主的化学杀虫剂。1965年，又产生了一项法庭控诉，其对环境的重要性不亚于《寂静的春天》的出版。某上诉法院驳回了联邦电力委员会关于向纽约哈德逊河边的施多姆金山爱迪生联合发电厂颁发许可证的决定。法院下令重新审理该案并“以保护自然美和国家历史名胜为基本注意事项”。
