显著的/突兀的 Explanation: scarp 悬崖、陡坡 fault(地壳运动造成的) 断层 (处) I tried to rendered the whole sentence in this way: 西山在地壳运动中形成的明显的/突兀的断层悬崖将xxx盆地阻隔在西边。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2007-03-20 02:48:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hmmm, it makes sense to me. I'd try this way: 盆地西边是‘西山’突兀的断层悬崖。Something to that effect. |
