仙人掌科的

Thanks to modern irrigation, crops now grow abundantly in areas where oncenothing but cacti and sagebrush could live.

受当代灌溉之赐，农作物在原来只有仙人掌和荞属科植物才能生存的地方旺盛的生长。

A few miles inland from the Sea of Cortez in Mexico, amid cracked earth and mesquite and sun-bleached cac-tus, neat rows of emerald plants are sprouting from the desert floor.

从墨西哥科提兹海往内陆走几哩，在乾燥龟裂的土地及豆科灌木和经阳光曝晒褪色的仙人掌当中，一排排整整齐齐的翠绿色植物从沙漠荒地中发芽生长。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。
