重点解析：
原句:Venture further from the mountains and out onto the open plateau, and life doesn't appear to
get any easier.
appear: 文中意思为“好像”，除此之外还有“出现，出版，显得”之意。
appear做连接动词时，常指“事情或事物看其来怎么样”，同seem相似。
例句:He appears (to be) very angry today.（句中的to be可省略）
She appears to have enough money to live on.
与seem不同的是，seem既可以用来讨论客观事实，也可以用来描述主观的印象或感觉，而appear只能表达客观事实。
例句:The baby seems/appears (to be) hungry.（两者都可用）
She doesn't want to go on studying. It seems a pity.（只能用seem）
get easier: 变得更容易
例句:Things will get easier as time goes by.
随着时间的推移情况会有所改善。
原句:High winds scour the landscape and temperatures can drop from baking to freezing in
moments.
in moments: 瞬间
例句:In moments we are covered, lost.
转眼间，我们便永远地被埋葬了，湮灭了。
