The winds generated out at sea, sweep inland across the continents.
风在外海形成,侵入大陆席卷内陆地区
As they travel across the Sahara, they create the biggest of all sand storms

As the air rises, so it cools.
随着气流的上升,温度也逐渐下降
The water it carries condenses into clouds
携带的水气开始凝结,汇集成云
and then falls as the life giving rains of the monsoon.
然后变成季风雨落到地面,滋润大地万物
