新概念青少版2A_unit13-25__The_Kalenjin卡兰津人Kalenjin此名用以指南迪人(Nandi)、基普西基人(Kipsigi)、苏克人(Suk,波科特人〔Pokot〕)、塔托加人(Tatoga)及其他有亲缘关系的诸民族，他们居住在肯亚中西部、坦尚尼亚北部和乌干达，操尼罗-撒哈拉语系沙里-尼罗语支的东苏丹诸语言(亦称卡兰津语)，主要以农业为生。为什么Kalenjin跑步跑得那么快？卡兰津人基本是地处高原，高原练习长跑更有效率，国家也会组织运动员去高原特训的，在跑步方面，高原选手比平原选手更有优势。曾有研究者对卡兰津人所居住的环境进行了研究，研究认为，卡兰津人长期生活在海拔2000米以上的高原地区。这种缺氧的环境可以增加人体本身携氧的红血球数量。研究者通过比较研究还发现，卡兰津人比其他地区的肯尼亚人更具有运动天赋。Newwordsandexpressions['rekɔ:d][win]['winə]['distəns][reis]['træk][ə'mʌŋ][sta:]['bɔ:də]['həumlænd]winwinner
