填空题 ENGLISH TO CHINESE.(上海财经大学2007研,考试科目:基础英语)In the third place, property makes its owner feel that he ought to do something to it. Yet he isn"t sure what. A restlessness comes over him, a vague sense that he had a personality to express—the same sense which, without any vagueness, leads the artist to an act of creation. Sometimes I think I will cut down such trees as remain in the wood, at other times I want to fill up the gaps between them with new trees. Both impulses are pretentious and empty.
