The sod comes curving down to the water's edge, forming bossy outswelling banks, and in some places overlapping countersunk boulders and forming bridges.

草皮向下弯曲到水边， 形成波涛汹涌的堤岸， 在某些地方与埋头的巨石重叠并形成桥梁。

Along the rivers there is a strip of bottom-land, countersunk beneath the general level, and wider toward the foot-hills, where magnificent oaks, from three to eight feet in diameter, cast grateful masses of shade over the open, prairie-like levels.

沿着河流有一片低地，埋头于一般水平之下，并向山麓延伸，那里雄伟的橡树，直径从 3 到 8 英尺，在开阔的大草原上投下令人欣慰的树荫水平。
