Audiobook Dictation: “Take the case of Corona Jewel…”

Take the case of Corona Jewel.

就拿科罗纳宝石矿来说吧。

"She ain't been developed," Jeff would say.

“那矿还没开发呢，”杰夫总是这么说。

She's full of it.

里面满满都是。

Then he'd take a look at the pink and blue certificates of the Corona Jewel and slam the drawer on them in disgust.

然后他会瞧一眼科罗纳宝石矿那些粉色和蓝色的股票，厌恶地把抽屉砰地关上。

Worse than that was the Silent Pine,--a clear case of stupid incompetence!

更糟的是静松矿——明摆着是愚蠢无能的典型！

Utter lack of engineering skill was all that was keeping the Silent Pine from making a fortune for its holders.

静松矿之所以没能让持股人发大财，全是因为工程技术一窍不通。

"The only trouble with that mine," said Jeff, "is they won't go deep enough.

“那座矿唯一的毛病，”杰夫说，“就是他们不肯挖得够深。

If they'd just go right into her good, they'd get it again.

只要他们老老实实往里挖，就又能挖到矿脉。

She's down there all right."

它肯定就在底下。”

But perhaps the meanest case of all was the Northern Star.

但也许最卑劣的要数北极星矿了。
