北低地, 南低地

Explanation:
這是西班牙文。

Baja 是「底下」的意思，因此可以稱為「低地」。

Norte 和 Sur 分別是「北」和「南」的意思。

原先沒有仔細查一下 Baja 這個地名的由來。PK 指出 Baja California，這和德國的地區名稱有異曲同工之妙。

德國有 Bayern 和 Oberbayern 以及 Sachsen 和 Niedersachsen 這樣的地名 (巴伐利亞、上巴伐利亞、薩克遜、下薩克遜)。

既然 Baja Norte 和 Baja Sur 指的是 Baja California Norte 和 Baja California Sur，那麼應該翻譯為 "下加利福尼亞北區" 和 "下加利福尼亞南區" 或 "下加州北區" 和 "下加州南區" 或 "北下加州" 和 "南下加州"。
