　　In most British cities , local governments and police turn a blind eye to the exploits (开发) of the gardeners , whose activities are always carried out under cover of nightfall. And so far , there has been nothing but praise from the astonished and delighted local residents when they find their neighborhood transformed in such a striking fashion. 　　Not only do the guerrilla gardeners beautify neglected places , they also return regularly to water the plants and weed the flower beds. They also make sure that at least some of the plants they bring are evergreens , which means that the area doesn’t look dismal (凄凉的) in the winter months. 　　The first guerrilla gardener in London was Richard Reynolds , whose day job is at an advertising agency. Mr Reynolds , a graduate of Oxford University , began his efforts two years ago when he moved to a flat in a tower block in South London. From his balcony , he could see several empty concrete pots , placed by the local governments to contain plants but never used. He went out after midnight and filled the pots with plants , and then planted more flowers in the path leading to the entrance to the block. 　　He then set up a website to explain his plan and called upon more gardeners to join him. Cash donations flooded in and , more importantly , volunteers rushed to be part of the campaign. Within six months , there were five hundred people in London prepared to come out at very short notice to revitalize (恢复活力) neglected parts of the urban landscape. There are now unofficial but carefully-organized groups in many cities in Britain and North America and there is also a website where would-be urban gardeners can find out the location of the next expedition. 　　本文主要是向读者介绍了guerrilla gardeners这些人平常工作在夜间进行绿化和美化居民区 , 给当地人带来了舒适的生活环境。 1.
