Grassland is a large stretch of land where wild grass is the main thing that grows — not forest, not desert, not a farm field of wheat, and not the short tidy grass of a park lawn. Think of open country: prairie, savanna, steppe. Animals that eat grass live there.

Though actually不過事實上 "grassland" covers quite different places grassland涵蓋了相當不同的地方—— wet or dry潮濕的或乾燥的 tall grass or short草高的或矮的—— so scientists sometimes split it into types所以科學家有時候會把它分成幾種類型 For a learner對學習者來說 the picture心裡有 "wide land of wild grass"「一大片野草地」這個畫面 is honest enough就已經夠貼切了
