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.
当然，事实上这个矿井已经不工作了， 因为，虽然Ray曾是这里的矿工 但是这矿井已经被关闭了 而且后来又作为一个旅游景点重新开放， 因为，很明显 它在运营规模上比不上 南美洲，澳大利亚，或其他什么地方。
