 This will find the environment variable `ADMIN_KEY` first, and if it does not exist, it will use `edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1` as the default value.
 
+You can also specify environment variables in yaml keys. This is specifically useful in the `standalone` [mode](./deployment-modes.md#standalone) where you can specify the upstream nodes as follows:
+
+```yaml title="./conf/apisix.yaml"
+routes:
+  -
+    uri: "/test"
+    upstream:
+      nodes:
+        "${{HOST_IP}}:${{PORT}}": 1
+      type: roundrobin
+#END

 ### Force Delete
 
 By default, the Admin API checks for references between resources and will refuse to delete resources in use.

 首先查找环境变量 `ADMIN_KEY`，如果该环境变量不存在，它将使用 `edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1` 作为默认值。
 
+您还可以在 yaml 键中指定环境变量。这在 `standalone` 模式 中特别有用，您可以在其中指定上游节点，如下所示：
+
+```yaml title="./conf/apisix.yaml"
+routes:
+  -
+    uri: "/test"

 ### 强制删除 {#force-delete}
 
 默认情况下，Admin API 会检查资源间的引用关系，将会拒绝删除正在使用中的资源。
