There was a certain monotony about pioneering in the Northwest and on the middle border.

——在西北和中部边境开拓有点单调。

As the soldiers of the Revolutionary and Mexican wars had advanced in great numbers to the frontier in earlier days, so now veterans led in the settlement of the middle border.

由于早期革命战争和墨西哥战争的士兵大量挺进边境，所以现在退伍军人率先在中部边境定居。

In comparison with the middle border, this region presented such startling diversities that only the eye of faith could foresee the unifying power of nationalism binding its communities with the older sections of the country.

与中部边界相比，该地区呈现出如此惊人的多样性， 以至于只有信仰之眼才能预见民族主义的统一力量， 将其社区与该国的旧地区联系起来。
