- the Tibetan plateau heats up,
西藏高原温度升高
- drawing in warm, wet air from the south.
南方的温湿空气随之而来
- But the water never arrives.
可是雨水却从不光顾这里
- As the moist air approaches, it's forced upwards by the Himalayas
潮湿的空气上升遇到雄伟的喜马拉雅山后
- and condenses into huge rain clouds.
便凝聚成为巨大的积雨云
- These clouds drop all their water on the southern side of the mountains.
雨全都下在喜马拉雅山南边的山峰上
- The very peaks that keep Tibet dry are responsible for the monsoon rains falling farther south
就是这些山峰的存在使得西藏变得气候干燥 也造成了季风雨只落在更远的南方
