Electricity powers pumps that move billions of liters of water from the lower lake to the higher one.

电力为水泵提供动力，将数十亿升水从较低的湖泊输送到较高的湖泊。

Most of the lower lakes vanished thousands of years before those now brightening the alpine landscapes were born.

大多数较低的湖泊在现在照亮高山景观的那些湖泊诞生之前几千年就消失了。

But this simplicity as to duration is broken in upon in various ways, chiefly through the action of side-streams that enter the lower lakes direct.

但是这种关于持续时间的简单性以各种方式被破坏， 主要是通过直接进入较低湖泊的支流的作用。

But because they melted gradually from the foot of the range upward, the lower lakes were the first to see the light and the first to be obliterated.

但由于它们从山脚向上逐渐融化， 所以较低的湖泊最先见光， 最先被抹杀。

Kalmia, lodum, and cassiope fringe the meadow rocks, while the luxuriant, waving groves, so characteristic of the lower lakes, are represented only by clumps of the Dwarf Pine and Hemlock Spruce.

Kalmia、lodum 和 casipe 环绕在草地岩石的边缘，而繁茂、波浪状的树林是下游湖泊的特征，只有矮松和铁杉的丛生才能代表。
