Is it a crazy idea to move a whole town to another place? Yes, it is. But that’s exactly what the people in Kiruna, Sweden, are doing.
把整个城镇搬到另一个地方去是不是一个疯狂的想法?是的,确实是。但这正是瑞典基律纳人正在做的事情。
Kiruna sits on a hill above Europe’s largest iron ore mine. The mine has been there for over 100 years. Because of the mine, more and more people came, and Kiruna became a city. But now, it’s also because of the mine, the city has to be moved.
基律纳坐落在欧洲最大的铁矿山的一座小山上。这个矿山在那里已经有100多年了。因为这个矿山的存在,越来越多的人到来,于是基律纳变成了一座城市。但现在,也正是因为这个矿山,城市不得不搬迁。
As the mine is getting larger and larger, the ground under the city is slowly subsiding(下陷). People are seriously worried that the city will collapse in the coming few years. So the government has decided to move the city of Kiruna and its people about two miles farther east.
随着这矿山变得越来越大,城市的地面正在慢慢下陷。人们非常担心这座城市会在未来几年坍塌。所以政府已经决定把基律纳和它的人们搬到东边大约两英里远的地方。
The move has already begun and will be done in a few steps. People living there near the mine will be moved first. Most homes and buildings will be built again in the new town. However, some historic buildings are being moved with special equipment to their new places.
这一行动已经开始,并将逐步完成。住在矿区附近的居民将首先被转移。大多数的住宅和建筑物将在新城区重新修建。然而,一些有历史意义的建筑将用特殊设备搬到新的地方。
