And of course, it wasn't actually a working mine anymore, because, though Ray was a miner there, the mine had closed and had been reopened as a kind of tourist attraction, because, of course, it can't compete on the scale of operations which are happening in South America, Australia, wherever.
ここはもう 稼働している鉱山ではありません レイは鉱山労働者でしたが 鉱山は閉鎖された後 観光地として再開されたのです もはや 南米やオーストラリアで 行われているような規模の採掘は できないからです
