brazilian fever
解釋
巴西熱, 聖保羅熱-
At this moment he was lying ill of fever in the clay lands near curitiba in brazil, having been drenched with thunder - storms and persecuted by other hardships, in common with all the english farmers and farm - labourers who, just at this time, were deluded into going thither by the promises of the brazilian government, and by the baseless assumption that those frames which, ploughing and sowing on english liplands, had resisted all the weathers to whose moods they had been born, could resist equally well all the weathers by which they were surprised on brazilian plains
就在此時，他在靠近巴西的克里提巴的粘土地里，淋了幾場雷雨，加上受了許多其它的苦難，病倒了，發著高燒，同時和他一起受難的還有許多其他英國農場主和農業工人，他們也都是因為巴西政府的種種許諾被哄騙到這兒來的。他們依據了那種毫無根據的假設，既然在英國的高原上耕田種地，身體能夠抵擋住所有的天氣時令，自然也能同樣抵擋巴西平原上的氣候，卻不知道英國的天氣是他們生來就習慣了的天氣，而巴西的氣候卻是他們突然遭遇的氣候。
