acclivity

1 Beyond "Tanglewood" steeply rises an eminence whose bare acclivity Hawthorne often climbed with his family,—the "Bald Summit" where the Pringles listened to the tale of "The Chimera."

2 When the advanced trenches of the enemy started, volleys came also from the ridge of the acclivity leading from the river-bed to the emplacement of the nine-pounder Krupp.

3 Valrennes posted his men behind two large trees that had fallen across the road on an acclivity, and, from this position of vantage, inflicted considerable loss upon the invaders.

4 Above, for many a league, the bank was guarded by an unbroken range of steep101 acclivities.

5 To gallop horses already blown against that steep acclivity would have been to kill them.

6 Their horses were not Saladins, and the best of them had become blown in their gallop against the steep acclivity more than a mile in length.

7 the steep acclivity was especially daunting for the novice hikers

8 Two cyclists skimmed along the sluice-road, taking the next steep acclivity with all the rush they could get out of their headlong free wheel down the steeper, and somewhat dangerously winding, hill before.

9 From the ridge of this acclivity we could watch the cloud shadows, violet and purple, sweeping over wide moors, and by their subtle contrasts bringing out the soft shimmering of the distant sunlight.

10 From the Piazza of La Rinconada, Citlapetel was in full view, with its quick acclivity guiding the eye of the observer up to the azure canopy of heaven.

11 Here and there, as the horses go more slowly up a gentle acclivity, you turn round to reconnoitre a little, and find that there is a charming view behind.

12 She sate negligently in her saddle—the undulating outlines of her majestic form rendered more conspicuous by the movements of her palfrey, as it strained up the acclivity of the hill.

13 It is pleasantly situated on the summit and slopes of an acclivity rising from the river, and has handsome squares, terraces, and streets.

14 On the other, there rose a range of blue, solitary hills, towering, as they receded, into loftier peaks and bolder acclivities, till they terminated on the snow-streaked Ben Weavis.

15 What diversity of scene, as isle after isle, bold headland, lofty cliff, or wooded acclivity, meets the gaze!

16 The animal having the advantage in position, could see me as I advanced up the acclivity.

17 Behind Grassyvale, the ground begins to swell, undulating into elevations of mild acclivity, on the highest of which stands the parish church, like the ark resting on Ararat—faith's triumph, and mercy's symbol.

18 As soon as we descend down the slope of sadness, we accelerate over the ever-feel-good acclivity of happiness.

当我们处于悲伤的下坡时，又开始向快乐的上坡进军。

19 BIRR, or Parsonstown, a market-town of King’s county, Ireland, on an acclivity rising above the Birr, and on a branch of the Great Southern & Western railway by which it is 87 m.

20 The moment they bounded up the steep acclivity they were safe, and the wearied horsemen turned again to the camp.
