Twice Strickland refused a berth on tramps sailing for the United States, and once on a collier going to Newcastle.

有两次驶往美国的货轮上需要人干活都被思特里克兰德拒绝了，另外还有一艘到纽卡斯尔的煤船他也不肯去。

One year, two colliers met at the seaport.

一年，两艘运煤船相遇海港。

To get coal, men called miners, or colliers, dig deep holes straight down into the earth, until they reach the seams of coal.

有一些叫做“矿工”的人，上挖出深洞，深洞笔直延伸，一直挖到煤层。

It was very cold, and, a collier coming by us, with her galley-fire smoking and flaring, looked like a comfortable home.

天气很冷，而且，一位煤矿工人从我身边走，厨房里的炉火冒着烟，熊熊燃烧，看起来就像一个舒适的家。

Near the steps, coal was being unloaded from two grimy colliers called the " Margery Dawe" of Sunderland, and the " Jenny Jones" of Cardiff.

台阶附近， 煤炭正从两个肮脏的煤矿卸， 分别是桑德兰的“Margery Dawe” 和卡迪夫的“Jenny Jones” 。

A journeyman blacksmith, though an artificer, seldom earns so much in twelve hours, as a collier, who is only a labourer, does in eight.

熟练的铁匠， 虽然是工匠， 但很少能十二小时内赚到这么多钱， 就像一个只是劳动者的矿工八小时内赚到的钱一样。

Of barges, sailing colliers, and coasting-traders, there were perhaps, as many as now; but of steam-ships, great and small, not a tithe or a twentieth part so many.

驳船、运煤船和沿岸商船，也许和现一样多；但是蒸汽船，无论大小，都不到十分之一或二十分之一。

A collier working by the piece is supposed, at Newcastle, to earn commonly about double, and, in many parts of Scotland, about three times, the wages of common labour.

纽卡斯尔， 按计件工作的矿工通常赚取普通劳动工资的两倍左右， 而苏格兰的许多方， 则约为普通劳动工资的三倍。

If colliers, therefore, commonly earn double and triple the wages of common labour, it ought not to seem unreasonable that coal-heavers should sometimes earn four and five times those wages.

因此，如果煤矿工人通常赚取普通劳动工资的两倍和三倍，那么煤矿工人有时赚取普通劳动工资的四倍和五倍似乎不无道理。

" I mentioned that to him, " said Mr. Galloway, " and he said the men in the colliers that run up to Newcastle and the fishermen and farm hands don't behave like ladies and gentlemen and don't talk like them" .

" 我他提这一点，" 盖洛韦先生说，" 但是他说那些去纽卡斯尔的煤船上的船员，那些渔民和农场工人并没有绅士淑女的举止，也不像他那样说话。"

The coal-heavers in London exercise a trade which, in hardship, dirtiness, and disagreeableness, almost equals that of colliers; and, from the unavoidable irregularity in the arrivals of coal-ships, the employment of the greater part of them is necessarily very inconstant.

伦敦的运煤工从事的行业，就其艰苦、肮脏和令人不快而言，几乎与煤矿工人的行业相当；而且，由于运煤船的抵达不可避免不规则，因此它中的大部分的使用必然非常不稳定。
