You will meet it in history, films, and place names, always with a capital K when it is the place. If a lot of people hurry to one spot to do the same thing — a new shop, a new job, a sudden chance — English sometimes says the scene is like the Klondike.

You will meet it你會在 in history, films, and place names歷史、電影和地名裡遇到它, always with a capital K when it is the place指這個地方時一律大寫 K. If a lot of people hurry to one spot to do the same thing如果一大群人急著湧向同一個地方做同一件事 — a new shop, a new job, a sudden chance像新開的店、新工作，或突然出現的機會 — English sometimes says the scene is like the Klondike英文有時會說這場面像 Klondike 一樣.

Though actually, the river and region names are older than the gold. English Klondike is a rough copy of Hän Tr'ondëk, “hammerstone water,” or Gwich'in throndiuk, “hammer-water,” not a tidy English meaning about gold.

Though actually不過其實, the river and region names are older than the gold這條河和這個地區的名字比金礦還古老. English Klondike is a rough copy英文的 Klondike 是個粗略的音譯 of Hän Tr'ondëk, “hammerstone water,”來自 Hän 語的 Tr'ondëk，意思是「石錘水」 or Gwich'in throndiuk, “hammer-water,”或 Gwich'in 語的 throndiuk，意思是「錘子水」, not a tidy English meaning about gold並不是什麼跟黃金有關的整齊英文意思.

The word is first a place. The gold-rush feeling is what people borrow.

The word is first a place這個字首先是個地名. The gold-rush feeling is what people borrow人們借用的是那股淘金熱的感覺.
