……作为一份蓝图，指导你在末日后的世界里如何用废金属、木头和泥土一步步搭出功能完备的机械加工车间。要是再加上赫伯特和卢·胡佛夫妇翻译的那本极棒的《论冶金》（De Re Metallica），你就基本掌握了从零重建人类二战前技术基础的蓝图。
…as a blueprint for how to go from scraps of metal, wood and earth to a fully functioning machine shop in a post-apocalyptic scenario. And if you add in Herbert and Lou Hoover's excellent translation of De Re Metallica you're well on your way to having a blueprint for rebuilding humanity's pre-WWII tech base from scratch.
赫伯特·胡佛（以及卢·胡佛）翻译的《论冶金》（De Re Metallica）在一个世纪后依然实用且仍在出版。http://store.doverpublications.com/0486600068.html
Herbert Hoover (and Lou Hoover)'s translation of De Re Metallica is still both useful and in print a century later. http://store.doverpublications.com/0486600068.html
我觉得赫伯特·胡佛翻译的《论冶金》（De Re Metallica）[1]非常有意思。可以说是那个时代处理绝大多数金属的技术百科全书。我还读了《经度》（Longitude）[2]：“一个孤胆天才解决当时最伟大科学问题的真实故事……
I found Herbert Hoover's translation of De Re Metallica[1] to be fascinating. A compendium of the technology of the day for processing most metals. I also found Longitude[2]: "The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His…

随手整理的一些想法……文章中提到的《论冶金》（De Re Metallica）是格奥尔格·阿格里科拉在 16 世纪撰写的。直到 20 世纪初，才由一位年轻的采矿……从极其小众难懂的拉丁语原著翻译出来。
A collection of thoughts.... De Re Metallica, mentioned in the article, was written by Georg Acricola in the 16th century. It was not translated from the original (and highly idiosyncratic) Latin until the early 20th century, by a young mining…
……在当今的互联网时代，这往往意味着你能在几秒钟内查到特定的参考资料。几年前我重读詹姆斯·伯克（James Burke）的《联结》（Connections）时就有过这种体验，书中提到了阿格里科拉的《论冶金》（De Re Metallica，跟重金属乐队没关系），然后我发现这部 16 世纪著作的英译本（直到 20 世纪初才译完）居然在 Internet Archive 上就能找到。（译者的经历也相当有意思……
…today's Internet, this oftem means you can have a specific reference in front of you in seconds. I had this experience re-reading James Burke's Connections a few years ago, in which he mentioned Agricola's De Re Metallica (which is not about the band), and found that the English translation of this 16th century work (not completed until the early 20th century) was at the Internet Archive. (The translators also have interesting…
