跟着BBC每天学一点点翻译,每天积累一点点,日积月累见证奇迹

充沛的水量滋养着这片广袤的草原,其位于中国青藏高原的东端,总面积3750平方千米,大约相当于三个洛杉矶的大小,但是,这里可不是天使之城,而是牛羊的乐园。

欧拉羊是玛曲特有的绵羊品种,因不远处的欧拉山而得名。略微带点螺旋朝向上的V型羊角给它们的颜值大大加分。欧拉羊抗逆性强的秘密就藏在这片绿色的草原里。

The abundant water nourishes the vast grassland. This grassland is located in the eastern end of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. With a total area of 3,750 square kilometers, it is about the size of three city’s size of Los Angeles. But this is no City of Angles, but a paradise for cattle and sheep.

The Oula Sheep breed is unique to Maqu. It gets its name from Mount Oula nearby. Their slightly spiral upturned V-shape horns make them handsome beasts. The secret of the resilience of the Oula Sheep lies in the green grassland.
