A thousand-year-old flour mill has come back to life after it had
been idle for 50 years. The Sturminster Newton Mill, in southwest England,
started (1) operating again (so as) to meet (people's) demand for flour during the COVID-19 crisis.
一座擁有千年歷史的磨坊在閒置(adj. ...的) 五十年後又再度復工了！這座名為 Sturminster Newton Mill，位於英國西南方的磨坊，為了因應新冠肺炎危機期間的麵粉需求而重新開始營運。
The water-powered mill was built around the year 1000. It was (2) rebuilt in 1556, and new
equipment was added in 1904. The mill produced (3) commercial flour until 1970. After that, it was turned
into a (4) historical museum.
Since then, it has produced small (5)
amounts of flour to teach the old production methods to visitors. But
with the recent crisis, grocery stores have (6) run out of (: have used up) everyday (: daily) supplies, and more people are
cooking at home. Thus, the mill’s (7)
managers decided to help people get the flour that they needed.
這座以水為動力的磨坊約建於西元 1000 年，它在 1556 年歷經重建，並於 1904 年有了新的設備。這座磨坊到了 1970 年便不再生產商用(的) 麵粉，而之後被改造成 (: 被轉變成) 一座歷史博物館。從那時起，它只生產少(數)量麵粉向觀光客指導古老的生產方式。但因為近期的危機，雜貨店已經用罄了每日補給(品)，而愈來愈多人在家煮飯，因此磨坊經理們決定要幫人們拿到所需的麵粉。
Some of the people who have been shopping at the mill say they are
learning to bake bread at home. By going back (: By returning) to (8) basics, they’re living (: leading) a little bit like the mill’s
first customers (who lived) a thousand years ago.
一些常到磨坊購物的人說他們正在學習如何在家烘焙，藉由回歸本源 (反璞歸真)，他們開始活得像是磨坊一千年前的顧客。
