foothills  英 ['fʊthɪlz] 美 ['fʊthɪlz]

n. 山麓丘陵;前陆 

I attempted to escape by leaving the East Coast and heading to the foothills of the Colorado Rockies for college. 我企图逃避自我,于是逃离了东海岸,跑到科罗拉多州落基山脉的一个山麓小丘上大学。
Once or twice under the foothills I glimpsed the mound of a kurgan, broken open like the lips of a volcano – the burial-place of a tribal chief, perhaps, or the milestone of some lost nomad advance. 在山麓小丘之下,我瞥见了一两个坟头,坟头已经裂开,样子与火山口相仿——也许,它是部落首领的埋葬之地,或者就是某个迷失的游牧开拓者的一座里程碑。

  • 3. From that overlook in the Awash, we could also look west, farther into the past to the foothills of the escarpment forming the western margin of the study area.

    从阿瓦什的那处远眺点俯视出去,我们还可以看到整个研究区域的西部边缘,那里是悬崖的前陆,属于更古老的史前时代。
