Chinese (traditional) ..... 地球表面上的圖形;藉由變化砂礫排列構成特殊的幾何或動物符號。如欲指涉由納斯卡 (Nazca) 人所創,並自秘魯南方沿海的沙漠平原出土,請用特定的詞彙「納斯卡線」。 |
Dutch ..... Te gebruiken voor een tekening op het aardoppervlak; met name geometrische of dierlijke symbolen die zijn gemaakt door kiezelzand te herschikken. Gebruik 'Nasca-lijnen' voor geogliefen van het Nasca-volk die worden aangetroffen in de zuidelijke woestijnvlakten aan de kust van Peru. |
German ..... Zeichnung auf dem Erdboden; speziell geometrische oder zoomorphe Symbole, gebildet durch die Verlagerung des Gerölls auf der Oberfläche. Um auf Scharrbilder zu verweisen, die vom Nazca-Volk auf den südlichen Hochebenen an der Küste Perus geschaffen wurden, ist "Nazca-Linien" zu verwenden. |
