（单词翻译）

But in 1893, it wasn't the river or the geology that was to be protected, rather the local antelope1 herds2.

但在1893年,它可不是河流或地貌特征,而是是被保护，当地有成群的羚羊。

Policing methods proved adequate though, hunting remain widespread and the antelope population remains3 a fraction of what it once was.

虽然证明投入了足够多的治安管理力度,但狩猎仍然屡见不鲜,而且羚羊的数目仍是曾经的少数。

Today, the entire park is named after its central feature, the massive and thundering waterfall, which the indigenous4 people had named Angrabies.

今天,整个公园因为其特点而命名,大规模，雷鸣声般的瀑布,土著居民将其命名为安格拉贝斯。

Angrabies might mean a place of great noise, but this spot is deliciously quiet.

安格拉贝斯可能意思着一个很大噪音的地方,但我现在所处的这个地方却是很安静。

Some 12 kilometers from the Falls, birdsong and a gentle breeze are all that accompanied me along this day's river walk.

距离瀑布12公里处, 鸟鸣声,阵阵微风都陪伴着我这一天沿河行走的旅程。

After wandering through swine grasses, bleached5 white by the sun.

稍作徘徊后,这里被太阳染成了白色。
