铁木真的生活很美满。他有了妻子、儿子、亲密的朋友、强大的盟友，还有自己的部落。铁木真和扎木合在扎木合部众面前，结拜兄弟，互赠从蔑儿乞部夺来的的礼物：金色腰带和强壮马匹。庆祝宴会结束后，两人同盖一条毡毯，抵足而眠，真如亲兄弟一般。

The Mongolian Steppe
蒙古大草原
The high, treeless plains of Mongolia are known as the steppe. This rolling grassland covers an area larger than Texas.
地势高远、树木稀疏的蒙古平原被称为大草原。这片绵亘起伏的草地，覆盖的范围比得克萨斯州还大。
It is bordered to the north and east by the forests of Siberia and Manchuria. To its west rise the snow-covered Altai Mountains, and the arid Gobi Desert forms it southern boundary.
它北与西伯利亚森林接壤，东与满洲丛林交界；西边是白雪皑皑的阿尔泰山，南边则是贫瘠的戈壁沙漠。
