That seems but a slight journey as you look at the map, or remember your own pleasant travels to and from the meadowy banks of the Avon.

当您查看地图时， 或者回想起您自己往返于雅芳河畔草地的愉快旅行时， 这似乎只是一段小小的旅程。

These conditions give rise to a meadowy vegetation, whose extending roots still more obstruct the free flow of the waters, and tend to dissipate them out over a yet wider area.

这些条件造就了草地植被，其延伸的根部更加阻碍水流的自由流动，并倾向于将水流散到更广阔的区域。

Northward lies Yosemite's wide basin with its domes and small lakes, shining like larger crystals; eastward the rocky, meadowy Tuolumne region, bounded by its snowy peaks in glorious array; southward Yosemite and westward the vast forest.

像更大的水晶一样闪闪发光； 向东是多岩石、多草的图奥勒米地区， 白雪皑皑的山峰以壮丽的排列为界； 向南优胜美地和向西广袤的森林。
