In many sections, particularly in New England, the climate, the stony soil, the hills, and the narrow valleys conspired to keep the farms within a moderate compass.

在许多地区，特别是在新英格兰，气候、石质土壤、丘陵和狭窄的山谷共同使农场保持在适度的范围内。

Young New Englanders, weary of tilling the stony soil of their native states, poured through New York and Pennsylvania, some settling on the northern bank of the Ohio but most of them in the Lake region.

年轻的新英格兰人厌倦了在他们家乡多石的土地上耕作，涌入纽约和宾夕法尼亚，一些人定居在俄亥俄河北岸， 但大多数人在湖区定居。
