回答: 以下のとおりお答します。なお、誤植とおぼしき語が2つほどありました(timees→times、send→sand)。 (修正原文) in modern times, with the motorcar and the airplane, the desert may be said to have been conquered so far as travel is concerned. but it has been conquered in other ways. the sand of the desert, blown by the winds, advances yard by yard over the cultivated fields. many lands that once were cultivated have been changed into deserts. sand covers the wells and canals that once watered fields. this has largely been caused by the scarcity of rainfall. (訳文) 現代では、自動車や飛行機があるので旅行に関する限り砂漠は征服されたと言えるかもしれません。しかし、逆にそれが征服されました。風によって吹かれた砂漠の砂が、少しずつ耕作地に進出します。かつては耕されていた多くの土地が砂漠に変わってきています。砂が、かつて野原に給水していた井戸や運河を被います。これは、大部分が降雨の不足によって引き起こされているのです。
