high plains

Altogether, between 1866 and 1888, some six million head of cattle were driven up from Texas to winter on the high plains of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana.(在1866年至1888年间，大约有六百万头牛从得州放牧到科罗拉多、怀俄明、蒙大拿等地的高原上过冬。)

And now they were so high that they could see tiny-looking jagged mountains appearing beyond the northwest moors, and plains of what looked like sand far in the south.(他们现在的高度已能看见参差不齐的群山逶迤在北方沼泽地后面，显得很小。遥远的南方，伸展着一片沙地一样的平原。)

"High plains," his father said from the front seat.(“高地平原，”他父亲在前排座位说。)

In plains or key passages it was built very high and solid, while relatively low and narrow on high and steep mountains to reduce the cost of money and man labor.(凡在平原或要隘之处修筑得十分高大坚固；在高山险峻之处却较为低矮狭窄，以节约人力和费用；)

If the river of life has smoothly crossed plains, high mountains and woods, you are beautiful even if you are getting old.(如果生命之河穿越了平原、高山和丛林，人到老年也是美的。)

Scoured by gusting sand, a Chipaya woman follows her sheep home across the high plains.(一个支帕亚妇女顶着一阵狂沙，跟着她的羊群穿过高原回家。)

And the only available land was either high up on the hills above the city, where the views are unrivalled but the risk of landslides ever-present, or low down on the flood plains.(现成的地只有城市之上的山冈，虽然有无与伦比的视角，但是长期以来有山体滑坡的威胁；又或者只能把房子盖到洪水泛滥的平原地区。)

Quinoa, domesticated thousands of years ago on Bolivia's arid high mountain plains and now often misrepresented as a grain, is actually a chenopod, related to species like beets and spinach.(在玻利维亚干旱的高山平原，种植藜麦已有数千年历史，它现在常被误认作是一种谷物，实际这是一种藜科植物，与甜菜与菠菜之类作物相近。)

This animal was held in high esteem among the Mongols, for it is physically adapted for traversing the sandy plains of the Gobi Desert.(蒙古人对这种动物非常看重，因为它的身体非常适于穿越戈壁滩的沙漠地带。)

The surface of some areas consists largely of high mountains and deep valleys whilst, in other areas, most of the surface consists of plains.(一些区域的地表由大量的高山和深谷组成，而其他区域，大部分地表却由平原组成。)
