4周搞定2000+托福核心词
circuitous
常考释义
Cusco lies on a high plateau at an elevation of more than 3,000 metres, and Bingham’s plan was to descend from this plateau along the valley of the Urubamba river, which takes a circuitous route down to the Amazon and passes through an area of dramatic canyons and mountain ranges. 15 B When Bingham and his team set off down the Urubamba in late July, they had an advantage over travellers who had preceded them: a track had recently been blasted down the valley canyon to enable rubber to be brought up by mules from the jungle.
库思科位于海拔3000米以上的高原上,并且Bingham的计划是从这个高原上下来,沿着乌鲁班巴河山谷航行,此项计划采取迂回路线直接到达亚马逊流域并且穿过惊险的峡谷和山脉区域。 当Bingham和他的团队在7月下旬沿着乌鲁班巴河出发,他们比其他在他们之前的旅行者有一个优势:峡谷下最近有一条轨道被炸毁了,能够允许橡皮艇由骡子从丛林中搬运出来。
