And because it was already so busy, prospectors began to look for other minerals,
由于這個(gè)港口已經(jīng)十分繁忙了，勘探者便開始尋找其他礦物，
and by the end of the nineteenth century, lead, copper, manganese and arsenic were added to the cargos leaving Manham.
到十九世紀(jì)末，鉛、銅、錳和砷都被開采了出來(lái)，成為了Manham對(duì)外輸出的貨物之一。
In the early days, the ores had been smelted — or processed — in the same area they were mined.
早期的時(shí)候，礦石是在開采地區(qū)就近冶煉或者加工的。
But, as demand grew, the smelting process required huge factory furnaces or fires to melt the metal from therock
但是隨著需求的增加，冶煉過(guò)程中需要巨大的工廠焚化爐或火力來(lái)熔化巖石中的金屬，
and there was not enough coal in the local area so the rocks containing minerals had to be shipped long distances.
可當(dāng)?shù)夭]有足夠的煤炭可用，于是礦石就被運(yùn)到了其他遙遠(yuǎn)的地區(qū)。
Sadly, in the twentieth century the great port of Manham declined and thousands of workers were forced to emigrate out of the area.
遺憾的是，二十世紀(jì)時(shí)，Manham港口規(guī)?？s小，數(shù)以千計(jì)的工人不得不出海遷往別處。
The building at the port fell into disrepair, and the place became almost forgotten.
港口的建筑年久失修，這個(gè)地方也幾乎被人遺忘。
But then, the Manham Trust was formed to conserve the historical resources of the area.
不過(guò)，后來(lái)人們成立了一個(gè)Manham基金會(huì)來(lái)保護(hù)當(dāng)?shù)氐臍v史資源。
It organised scores of local volunteers to remove undergrowth to find the original outlines of the installations.
基金會(huì)組織了大量的當(dāng)?shù)刂驹刚咔宄緟?，以弄清那些裝置的原本輪廓。
It then brought in paid professionals to match installations with maps of the ori ginal port complex and to set about reconstructing it.
然后又雇請(qǐng)了一些專家按照原本港口建筑群的地圖來(lái)匹配這些裝置，并準(zhǔn)備重建。
Today you can see the results of this ambitious program of restoration.
今天你們就能看見這個(gè)宏大的重建項(xiàng)目的成果。
The intention, and we believe this will be realised before the end of the year, is to return Manham Port to the condition it reached at its peak as 'the greatest copper port in the country'.
這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的目標(biāo)是把Manham港口恢復(fù)到它在黃金時(shí)期被譽(yù)為“英國(guó)最大的銅礦港口”時(shí)的狀態(tài)，我們相信在今年年底之前這個(gè)目標(biāo)就能實(shí)現(xiàn)。
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
在播放剩下的錄音之前，你有一些時(shí)間閱讀問(wèn)題16-20。
