Hint:

        Atacama
guanaco
Sonoran
Arizona

        英式拼写
Further inland the air remains so warm that its moisture does not condense so this slender strip of desert is virtually the only part of the Atacama where life can exist. And without the fog, this land, too, would be empty. The guanacos make the most of the dew but it will not remain for long. In an hour or two the sun will have burnt it off and dry the surface of the cacti. The Sonoran desert in Arizona is not quite so dry as the Atacama. Some rain does fall. But it is infrequent and when it does arrive animals and plants have to be ready to make the most of it. And it's coming.再往里走空气太热，湿气无法凝结，所以这片狭长地带几乎没有雾。没有雾，这片土地上也不会有生物。羊驼充分利用了这些露珠，但露珠停留的时间不会太久，一两个小时之后，太阳就会把仙人掌表面晒干，美国亚利桑那州的沙漠，并不像阿塔卡马沙漠那样干燥，它有时也会降雨，但是这种情况并不多见，所以一旦下雨，动物和植物都必须做好准备，充分利用它。雨水到来了。
