- Temperatures rarely rise above freezing and the air is thin.
温度几乎总是在零下 空气又非常地稀薄
- It's also exceptionally dry for one very big reason,
而且这里又干燥异常,那是因为一个很大的原因
- the Himalayas.
喜马拉雅
- The great mountain range acts as a barrier,
雄伟的山脉犹如一道高高的屏障
- preventing clouds moving in from the south, and this casts a giant rain shadow
阻挡了从南飘来的浮云 只在大地上投下了巨大雨影
- that leaves Tibet high and dry.
西藏高原由此变得异常地干燥
- Grass clings to life even as desiccating winds remove what little moisture remains in the soil.
即使风把土壤中仅存的水分带走 草也能存活下来.
