We were in the deserts of the artemisia.

我们在艾蒿的沙漠中。

Tufts of artemisia were growing in clefts of the rock near by, and I filled my mouth with the bitter leaves, hoping they might help to prevent giddiness.

附近的岩石缝里长着一簇簇蒿子， 我把苦涩的叶子塞进嘴里， 希望它们助头晕。

Here flourishes a scattered, tufted growth of golden applopappus, linosyris, bahia, wyetheia, arnica, artemisia, and similar plants; with manzanita, cherry, plum, and thorn in ragged patches on the cooler hill-slopes.

这里盛开着散落的簇状生长的金色 applopappus、linosyris、bahia、wyetheia、山金车、艾蒿和类似植物；在凉爽的山坡上，参差不齐的斑块上长满了曼萨尼塔、樱桃、李子和荆棘。

Noticing some tufts of artemisia in a cleft of rock, I filled my mouth with the leaves, hoping their bitter taste might help to keep caution keen and prevent giddiness.

注意到岩石裂缝中有几丛蒿，我把叶子塞进嘴里，希望它们的苦味有助于保持警惕并头晕。
