山东发现大金矿（双语）

　　爱语导读:大约两周前，中国东部城市山东发现第一处海底金矿，现在在同省境内，又发现另一处巨量金矿。

　　Another enormous gold deposit was discovered in East China’s Shandong Province, about two weeks after the discovery of China’s first undersea gold mine in the same province.

　　大约两周前，中国东部城市山东发现第一处海底金矿，现在在同省境内，又发现另一处巨量金矿。

　　The newly discovered deposit contains 328 tons of gold and is located in Laizhou, Shandong. It is the 31st gold mine discovered this year in the city of Yantai, which administers Laizhou. The total of deposits in the area has now reached 979 tons, spread across regions and districts including Laizhou and Mouping, local news portal shm.com.cn reported.

　　新发现的金矿坐落在山东莱州，其储有328吨黄金。根据地方新闻门户网站shm.com.cn报道，这是今年在烟台市（管辖莱州）发现的第31处金矿。现在本地区金矿总储量已达到979吨，分布在不同区域，包括莱州、牟平。

　　The current price of gold on the Shanghai Gold Exchange is 221.1 yuan ($34.6) per gram for gold with fitness of 9999, which means the newest mine is worth about 72 billion yuan.

　　上海黄金交易所当前万足金价格为每克221.1元(34.6美元)，这就意味着新金矿市值高达720亿元。

　　Approximately two weeks ago, the Shandong Provincial No.3 Institute of Geographical and Mineral Surveying said it found a gold mine with about 470 tons of reserves 2 kilometers under the north coastal waters near Sanshan Island in the Bohai Sea, the People’s Daily reported.

　　《人民日报》报道，大约两周前，山东省第三地理和矿产调查研究所表示，在渤海三山岛附近，北沿海水域两千米深处，发现一处金矿，储量约为470吨。

　　However, about 80 percent of the newly found gold mines have been discovered through deep ore prospecting. Due to ground temperature limitations and other technological limitations, such deep deposits are difficult to mine, according to experts.

　　然而，约有80%的新金矿是通过深度矿产勘探发现。根据专家意见，由于地表温度以及其他技术限制 ，这类深储金矿很难开采。

　　"The cost of shallow mining is lower; the deeper the mining, the higher the cost. The actual mining time is related to the international gold price, the amount of investment and the maturity of mining technology," an anonymous official with the Yantai Bureau of Land and Resources told shm.com.cn.

　　烟台市国土资源局一位匿名官员告诉shm.com.cn：“浅部开采成本更低；这意味着开采程度越深，成本也就越高。实际开采时间与国际黄金价格、投资金额和开采技术成熟度都息息相关。”

　　"The depth of gold mining in our country is no more than 1.5 kilometers, but some of the mines found in Yantai are more than 2 kilometers deep and cannot be excavated currently," said the official.

　　这位官员表示：“我们国家金矿开采深度一般不超过1.5千米，但在烟台发现的一些金矿要超过2千米之深，因此现下还无法开采。”

　　"Normally in China, gold mine prospection is conducted within 800 meters underground. The discovery of a gold deposit lying 2,000 meters under the ocean floor provides incentive for new drilling technology for future gold mining."

　　“通常中国金矿勘察都是在地下800米以内进行。在海底2000米发现金矿，将促进钻井新技术的发展，从而为未来金矿开采带来可能。”

　　As of the end of 2012, deposits of gold in the Chinese mainland had reached about 8196.24 tons. China’s gold resources are concentrated in the east and central regions of the country, media reported.

　　截止到2012年底，中国大陆金矿储量约有8196.24吨，黄金资源集中在东部和中部地区。

　　Because of the decline in the price of gold since 2013, many Chinese gold mining corporations are facing difficulties. Some media reports claimed that some gold mines have been closed as a result.

　　由于自2013年以来，黄金价格呈下滑趋势，许多中国黄金开采公司都面临着挑战。一些媒体报道，部分金矿已被关闭。

　　Zhu Zhigang, a gold expert, told news site cb.com.cn that when the gold market was booming, many mine owners did not care about cost and adopted expansive management systems, so when the market took a downturn, their original way of operating created problems.

　　朱志刚是黄金专家，他告诉cb.com.cn新闻网站，当黄金市场蓬勃发展时，许多金矿主不在乎成本开支，管理系统庞大。因此当市场进入衰退期时，他们原先的运行方式就会产生问题。

　　"China’s discovered gold reserves rank third in the world, but the country’s production of gold has ranked first for the past seven consecutive years. " Zhu said.

　　朱志刚表示：“中国已发现的黄金储量位列世界第三，但在过去连续七年里，其黄金产量位于世界之首。” 来源:环球时报
