英文注释:

"The walls of Farah loom through a haze of Afghan dust: Here both troops and civilians turned out to welcome the Trans-Asiatic Expedition. Once a prosperous city, Farah felt the wrath of Genghis Khan and of Persia's Nadir Shah. Now it has few inhabitants besides its garrison."

—From "The Citroën Trans-Asiatic Expedition Reaches Kashmir," October 1931, National Geographic magazine
