One year, two colliers met at the seaport.

年，两艘运煤船相遇在海港。

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

有两次驶往美国货轮上需要人干活都被思特里克兰德拒绝了，另外还有艘到纽卡斯尔煤船也不肯去。

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

有些叫做“矿工”人，在地上出深洞，深洞笔地向下延伸，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，位煤矿工人从我们身边走，厨房里炉火冒着烟，熊熊燃烧，看起来就像个舒适家。

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

在台阶附近， 煤炭正从两个肮脏煤矿卸下， 分别是桑德兰“Margery Dawe” 卡迪夫“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.

熟练铁匠， 虽然是工匠， 但很少能在十二小时内赚到这么多钱， 就像个只是劳动者矿工在八小时内赚到钱样。

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、运煤船沿岸商船，也许现在样多；但是蒸汽船，无论大小，都不到十分之或二十分之。

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.

在纽卡斯尔， 按计件工作矿工通常赚取普通劳动工资两倍左右， 而在苏格兰许多地方， 则约为普通劳动工资三倍。

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两倍三倍，那么煤矿工人有时赚取普通劳动工资四倍五倍似乎不无道理。

" 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" .

" 我向提这点，" 盖洛韦先生说，" 但是说那些去纽卡斯尔煤船上船员，那些渔民农场工人并没有绅士淑女举止，也不像们那样说话。"

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.

伦敦运煤工从事行业，就其艰苦、肮脏令人不快而言，几乎与煤矿工人行业相当；而且，由于运煤船抵达不可避免地不规则，因此它们中大部分使用必然非常不稳定。
