"'It was mere high rough masses of hillocks (HULLEN); between them the water settled, and had no flow. In the driest years we couldn't cart the hay out, but had to put it up in big ricks. Only in winter, when the frost was sharp, could we get it home. But now we have cut away the hillocks; and the trenches that your Majesty got made for us take the water off. And now the Luch is as dry as your Majesty sees, and we can carry out our hay when we please.'英文原著 · 《Appendix to History of Friedrich II of Prussia》
They had been walking for two hours. Teargeld was higher in the sky and nearer the south. They had descended many hundred feet, and the character of the ridge began to alter for the worse. The thin snow disappeared, and gave way to moist, boggy ground. It was all little grassy hillocks and marshes. They began to slip about and become draggled with mud. Conversation ceased; Sullenbode led the way, and the men followed in her tracks. The southern half of the landscape grew grander.英文原著 · 《A Voyage to Arcturus》

'Dear to me are the boundaries of the forest; Far from Creiff is my heart; My remembrance is of the hillocks of sheep, And the heath of many knolls. Oh for the red-streaked fissures of the rock, Where in spring time the fawns leap; Oh for the crags towards which the wind is blowing-- Cheap would be my bed to be there! EASY IS MY BED, ETC.'英文原著 · 《Chronicles of the Canongate》
Kopjes - In the karoo, are hillocks of stones, that rise up singly or in clusters, here and there; presenting sometimes the fantastic appearance of old ruined castles or giant graves, the work of human hands. Kraal - A sheepfold. Krantz - A precipice. Sluit - A deep fissure, generally dry, in which the superfluous torrents of water are carried from the karoo plains after thunderstorms. Stoep - A porch.英文原著 · 《Dream Life and Real Life》
But he moved to and fro like a sentinel, while she landed in trepidation and secured the boat to the branches of a white coral rock. She found the place much larger than it looked from Telegraph Point. It was an archipelago of coral reef incrusted here and there with shells. She could not see all over it, where she was, so she made for what seemed the highest part, a bleak, sea-weedy mound, with some sandy hillocks about it. She went up to this, and looked eagerly all round. Not a soul. She called as loud as her sinking heart would let her. Not a sound.英文原著 · 《Foul Play》
