Worn on the streets of London’s Soho, San Francisco or Sydney, every pair of high-end(高端的) jeans made by Hiut Denim comes from the rather unlikely location(相当不可能的地点) of a small coastal(沿海的) town in west Wales.
从伦敦苏豪区到旧金山、悉尼的街头,Hiut Denim生产的每一条高端牛仔裤都来自一个不太可能的地方——威尔士西部的一座海滨小镇。
Cardigan, with a population of just 4,200, has a proud history of denim(牛仔布) production and was once home to(曾是……的所在地) Britain’s largest jeans factory, even if the town’s name recalls a different garment(衣服) entirely.
卡迪根人口仅4200,却有着引以为傲的牛仔布生产历史,曾是英国最大牛仔裤工厂的所在地——尽管小镇的名字让人想起的完全是另一种衣物。
When jeans manufacturing(制造业) in Wales was moved abroad(迁往海外) at the start of the century, hundreds of local people lost their jobs and were forced to find work elsewhere(在别处).
本世纪初,威尔士的牛仔裤制造业迁往海外,数百名当地人因此失业,被迫去别处谋生。
