Today, we would like to show you a preview of one of the most famous and unique landscapes we have been recreating for the South Dakota DLC for American Truck Simulator - the beautiful Badlands National Park!
今天，我们想向大家展示《美洲卡车模拟》南达科他州DLC中我们正在重现的、最著名且独一无二的景观之一——美丽的恶地国家公园——的预览画面！
Situated along the edge of the Great Plains in southwestern South Dakota, Badlands National Park spans 244,000 acres of dramatically eroded buttes, pinnacles, and spires, alongside the largest protected mixed-grass prairie in the United States.
恶地国家公园位于南达科他州西南部的大平原边缘，占地244,000英亩，园内遍布着经剧烈侵蚀形成的孤峰、岩柱和尖塔，并毗邻美国最大的受保护混合草甸草原。
But why is such a stunning area named Badlands? For hundreds of years, the Lakota people have called it "mako sica", which translates to "bad lands". Then, early French fur trappers called the area "les mauvaises terres à traverser" (bad lands to travel across). Because when it rains there, the wet clay becomes sticky, and the jagged canyons also make it hard to navigate. The winters are cold and windy, and the summers are hot and dry. But it could have had a very different name, as in 1922, when Badlands was first proposed as a national park, the suggested name was Wonderland National Park.
但为什么这样一片令人惊叹的地区会被命名为“恶地”呢？数百年来，拉科塔人一直称其为“mako sica”，意为“恶地”。 后来，早期的法国皮毛猎人将该地区称为“les mauvaises terres à traverser”（难以穿越的荒地）。因为一旦下雨，湿润的黏土就会变得粘稠，而崎岖的峡谷也使得行进十分艰难。 这里冬季寒冷多风，夏季炎热干燥。不过，这片土地本可能拥有一个截然不同的名字——1922年，当“恶地”首次被提议设立为国家公园时，当时建议的名称其实是“仙境国家公园”。
The Badlands contain one of the world's richest fossil beds, preserving evidence of ancient species such as horses and rhinos that once roamed the region. Today, the area is home to bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, and a diverse range of other plant and animal life. As players enter this region in the game, they will be immediately greeted by roaming bison and striking rock formations.
恶地国家公园拥有世界上最丰富的化石层之一，保存着曾在此地漫游的马和犀牛等古代物种的遗迹。 如今，该地区是野牛、大角羊、草原犬鼠以及其他多种动植物的栖息地。当玩家在游戏中进入这一区域时，立刻会看到漫游的野牛和壮观的岩层地貌。
As you drive further, you'll come across iconic places like Pinnacles Overlook, Yellow Mounds Overlook, and the Fossil Trail.
随着您继续前行，您将途经“尖峰观景台”、“黄土丘观景台”和“化石步道”等标志性景点。
