| 天然气开采 | natural gas extraction The tapping of natural gas from wells located under the sea and in general from underground sources often in association with petroleum deposits; it is used as a fuel, having largely replaced coal-gas for this purpose, and as a source of intermediates for organic synthesis (海下气井和地下天然气的开采一般都与石油矿床有关，它作为燃料被使用，为此在很大程度上取代煤气，以及作为有机合成中间体源。) |

| 开矿之后的地形 | landscape after mining The process of mining disfigures the surface of the land, and in the absence of reclamation leads to permanent scars. The process spoils the vital topsoil, disrupts drainage patterns, destroys the productive capacity of agricultural and forest land and impairs their aesthetic and social value (开采后的地形损毁了地表的外形，并在缺乏矫正的情况下导致了永久性的损害痕迹。这一过程损坏了重要的表层土壤，干扰了排水模式，破坏了农业、森林和陆地的生产能力，并损害了它们的审美价值和社会价值。) |

| 沿海开发 | coastal development Concentration of human settlements, infrastructures and economical activities along the coasts, being these areas very favourable for trade, communication and marine resources exploitation; the impact of the accelerated population growth and of the industrial and touristic development in these areas has caused the disruption of the ecological integrity of the coastal zones (沿着海岸的人类住区、基础设施和经济活动的集中，在这些地区进行贸易、通讯和海洋资源开发非常有利。这些地区的人口加速增加和工业旅游业开发所造成的影响，已经导致了沿海地区的生态整合的破坏。) |
| 海底开采 | sea bed exploitation Marine mineral resources extend far beyond those presently exploited; minerals are derived from two separate types of marine sources: from sedimentary deposits underlying the continental shelves and from inshore deposits on the surface of the continental shelves. By far the most valuable of the mineral resources exploited from marine environments is petroleum. Offshore placer deposits on the surface of the continental shelves yield gold, platinum, and tin. On the floors of the world's oceans manganese nodules are found as a result of pelagic sedimentation or precipitation; they are small, irregular, black to brown, friable, laminated concretionary masses consisting primarily of manganese salts and manganese-oxide minerals (海洋的矿物资源比现在开采出的多得多；矿物从俩种不同的海洋资源中获得：从构成大陆架的沉积物和从在大陆架表面的近海岸的沉积物。到目前为止，从海里开采出的最有价值的矿物资源是石油。大陆架的表面近海的冲积矿淤积产生金子、白金和锡。从大洋地面的远洋沉淀中找到锰结核；它们是小的、不规则的、黑色或棕色的、易碎的、大量薄片块状的，主要由锰盐和锰氧化物金属组成。) |
| 海底开采 | offshore mining Oil extraction from platforms situated a short distance from the coast (从距海岸不远的平台进行石油开采。) |

| 砂石开采，砂石挖掘 | gravel extraction Obtaining a mixture of coarse sand and small water- worn or pounded stones, (used for paths and roads and as an aggregate) from the earth (从地层中获取粗砂和细小的受水磨蚀或磨碎之石头混合物，通常用作舖设道路的材料。) |
| 褐煤开采 | lignite mining Extraction of brown coal from natural deposits; lignite is a brownish-black solid fuel in the second stage in the development of coal. It has a little over half the heating value of bituminous or anthracite coal (对天然褐煤矿的开采。褐煤是一种棕黑色的固体燃料，是在煤形成的第二个阶段中产生的。比有烟煤或无烟煤的小一半以上的热值。) |
