Land that is higher than the country around it and away from the coast — hills, high open ground, moorland. Not mountains exactly; uplands are gentler than that, but clearly higher and rougher than the flat farmland below.

Land土地 that is higher than the country around it比周圍地勢更高 and而 away from the coast又遠離海岸 — hills, high open ground, moorland丘陵、高處的開闊地、荒原。Not mountains exactly不完全是山；uplands這種地形 are gentler than that比山緩和一點，but但 clearly higher and rougher than the flat farmland below明顯比下面平坦的農地更高、更崎嶇。

"Upland" is the word geographers, farmers, and nature writers reach for when they mean high country. It works as a noun ("the upland of central Wales") but you meet it far more often as a description in front of another noun: upland farms, upland sheep, upland birds, an upland stream, upland soil. This is where the word earns its keep — upland farming is a real thing with its own difficulties (thin soil, cold, wind, short growing season), and calling a farm an upland farm tells another farmer a great deal in one word.

"Upland"「upland」 is是 the word地理學家、農夫、和自然作家會用的詞 geographers, farmers, and nature writers reach for when they mean high country當他們想講高地時。It它 works as a noun可以當名詞用（"the upland of central Wales"「威爾斯中部的高地」），but不過 you你 meet it far more often更常遇到它 as a description放在另一個名詞前面當形容詞：upland farms高地農場、upland sheep高地綿羊、upland birds高地鳥類、an upland stream一條高地溪流、upland soil高地土壤。This這 is where the word earns its keep就是這個詞最能發揮作用的地方 — upland farming高地農作 is a real thing是真實存在的東西 with its own difficulties有它自己的難題（thin soil土層薄、cold寒冷、wind風大、short growing season生長季短），and而 calling a farm an upland farm把一個農場叫做高地農場 tells another farmer a great deal in one word一個詞就能讓另一個農夫懂很多事。

It is somewhat formal or technical. In ordinary conversation people say "up in the hills" or "the high country".
