Our Visit to a Village(I)

Our Visit to a Village (I) During our school break, my cousin and I went to Upper Canada Village with my parents. People in this village wear 19th century clothing and everything runs the same way it did one hundred years ago. “ This is amazing, ” said my cousin. " It's living history! " First, we went to the flour mill. It still works, just like it did long ago. At one end of the mill, people load in the dry grain. At the other end, the flour comes out. “ Wow! ” my cousin cried out. It was his first time seeing how flour is made. The worker told us that this flour mill was a busy place back in 1821.

加拿大仿古村之行(一) 放假期间，我和表弟与我的父母一行去了加拿大仿古村。 这个村子里的人穿着19世纪的衣服，一切都和一百年前一样。 “这太神奇了，”我表弟说。“这是活的历史!” 首先，我们去了磨坊。它还在工作，就像很久以前一样。在磨房的一端，人们把干燥的谷物装进去。在另一端，面粉出来了。“哇!”我表弟喊道。 这是他第一次看到面粉是如何制成的。工人告诉我们，1821年的时候，这家面粉厂是一个繁忙的地方。

At that time, wheat was Canada's main agricultural crop. Turning wheat into flour was in high demand. Samuel Bellamy built the mill. He received grain from his farmer neighbours. His mill transformed the grain into flour. He wasn't paid with money. Instead, he kept one twelfth of the wheat he ground. My cousin exclaimed, " I really like the way people traded at that time. " “ Me too! ” I replied.

当时，小麦是加拿大的主要农作物。把小麦制成面粉需求量很大。 塞缪尔·贝拉米建造了这座磨坊。他从他的农民邻居那里得到粮食。他的磨坊把谷物变成了面粉。他没有得到钱。相反，他留下了他所磨的麦子的十二分之一。 我表弟惊呼道:“我真的很喜欢当时人们交易的方式。”“我也是!”我回答说。
