A geographer is someone who has studied geography to a high level — how places work, not only where they sit on a map. Geographers ask why a city grew here, how rivers and mountains shape people's lives, where food is grown, how climate and culture sit together.

A geographer is指 someone認真研究過地理到很高程度的人 who has studied geography to a high level — how places work研究地方怎麼運作, not only where they sit on a map不只是它們在地圖上的位置。Geographers地理學家 ask會問: why a city grew here為什麼這座城市會在這裡發展, how rivers and mountains shape people's lives河流和山脈怎麼影響人的生活, where food is grown食物在哪裡種出來, how climate and culture sit together氣候和文化怎麼結合在一起。

Some sit with maps and computers; some walk towns and talk to people; some watch pictures from space. If this subject has become your serious study or your work, you are a geographer.

Some有些人 sit with maps and computers坐在地圖和電腦前; some有些人 walk towns and talk to people走進城鎮跟人聊天; some有些人 watch pictures from space看太空拍回來的照片。If this subject如果這個科目 has become your serious study or your work已經變成你認真在做的研究或工作, you are a geographer你就是geographer。

Though actually, people outside school sometimes say it for anyone who likes maps, the way they say “historian” for anyone who likes old stories. In careful talk it means trained study.

Though actually不過, people outside school學校以外的人 sometimes say it for anyone who likes maps有時候會把喜歡地圖的人也叫成geographer, the way they say就像 "historian" for anyone who likes old stories把喜歡老故事的人叫成「historian」一樣。In careful talk講究一點的說法裡 it means它指的是 trained study受過訓練的研究。

And this person is not a geologist. A geologist's head is in the rocks. A geographer's head is in places, and in how humans and the land live together.

And this person而且這種人 is not不是 a geologist geologist（地質學家）。A geologist's head geologist的心思 is in the rocks在岩石上。A geographer's head geographer的心思 is in places在地方上, and in也在 how humans and the land live together人和土地怎麼共同生活這件事上。
