Trees if they were able to dream would probably dream of water. Certainly Euphrates poplar on the Taklamakan Desert would. When Euphrates poplar grows, it is known as a dry pole. The trees make the most of the three months'floods season to drink all the water they need to survive for the rest of the year.

如果树木也能够做梦，它们很有可能会梦到水。可以想象，塔克拉玛干沙漠的胡杨肯定会做这种梦。当胡杨生长的时候，它就被称为干燥棒。这种树木在洪水季的三个月极尽所能汲取水，之后在当年剩余的时间存活下去。
