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.
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
This is midsummer on the Tibetan plateau, 这是西藏高原的仲夏
the highest great plain in the world. 世界上海拔最高的草原
Despite the conditions, grass survives and in sufficient quantities to support the highest of all grazing herds, 在这样的环境里 依然生长着漫山遍野的草 维系所有食草动物的生存需要
The northern flowering is mirrored by the grasslands of the southern hemisphere, 北方的开花季节跟南半球的草原互相呼应
and nowhere is more impressive than on the veldt of South Africa. 天下最美丽动人的草原非南非的维尔德草原莫属
Not all temperate plains are so rich and colourful in the summer. 并非所有温带地区的草原 在夏季都是如此五彩斑斓
