Most were drawn from things to hand: the human body (the foot or the mile, which derives from the Latin milia passuum, or 1, 000 paces) and tools (barrels, cups).

那个时候，大多数的计量单位都是来源于实物、手、人体部位（比如“英尺”的英文原意为脚，英里则来源于拉丁语的milia passuum，意为1000步）或者工具（比如桶、杯子）。

Unlike areas at the foot of the peak, where farmers use mechanized tools, those on the lower hills still plow by hand.

不像山峰下部的农田，农民使用机械化工具，但那些在较矮山丘的农田，依然还用手耕犁。
