The main source of activity in Gladstone is the construction of three big gas liquefaction plants on an island 3.5km from the mainland. Once completed, these projects will generate billions of dollars of export revenues and royalties for decades to come.
格拉德斯通的主要经济活动是由正在距离陆地3.5公里的一座岛上修建的三座大型天然气液化工厂带动的。这些项目一旦建成,将在未来数十年里为当地带来几十亿美元的出口收入以及土地使用费收入。
Gladstone, population 32,000 – where a fifth of the working population is employed in resource industries – is one reason why many Australians are not ready to write off the resources boom just yet. But at some stage in the near future other parts of the Australian economy, such as retail and construction, will need to pick up the slack and provide the jobs that will inevitably be lost in mining.
格拉德斯通有3.2万人口,其中在资源行业就业的劳动力占比高达五分之一,这也是为什么澳大利亚人还没有对资源热潮降温做好准备的原因。但在不远的将来,澳大利亚经济的其他板块——如零售、建筑等——将必须接过接力棒,为矿产行业不可避免将会出现的失业人潮提供工作岗位。
Not everybody is convinced the transition will be a smooth one.
不是每个人都认为这一转型过程将是一帆风顺的。
