| 16 | Well, it was one of seven large garden cemeteries built in the 1830s to respond to a serious burial crisis. | 这是1830年代建造的七座大型花园墓地之一 为了应对严重的埋葬危机 |
| 17 | London faced a population explosion around the turn of the 19th century. | 伦敦大约在19世纪之交面临人口爆炸. |
| 18 | People coming to live and work in the towns and cities rather than in the countryside after the Industrial Revolution. | 工业革命后,人们来到城镇而不是农村生活和工作. |
| 19 | And that brought new problems, problems of housing and sanitation and hygiene, and also what to do with the bodies of those people when they die. | 这带来了新的问题, 住房和环境卫生和个人卫生的问题, 以及当这些人死亡时他们的尸体怎么办。 |
| 20 | Traditionally, people would have been buried in their parish churchyards. | 传统上,人们会被埋在他们的教区教堂院子里。 |
| 21 | But during this period of population expansion, that became a major problem because they became full to overflowing. | 但在人口扩张的这一时期,这成为了一大问题,因为人口已经满溢. |
| 22 | So the government stepped in in 1836 and they passed the London Cemetery Act, | 于是政府在1836年介入,他们通过了伦敦公墓法案, |
| 23 | which allowed the creation of seven large garden cemeteries in a rough ring around London, which in those days was much smaller than it is today. | 在伦敦周围的粗糙环状地带 建造了七座大型花园墓地 那时它比今天小得多 |
| 24 | Highgate was the third of those seven built in 1839. | 海格特是1839年建成的这7座建筑中的第3座. |
| 25 | It's split across two sites. | 分为两个站点. |
| 26 | We're on the west side at the moment, which is the slightly older side. | 目前我们位于西侧,这是稍老的一侧. |
| 27 | And using the power of YouTube, we're going to be flitting back and forth between west and east to visit some graves so that everything conforms to a nice narrative that I've come up for you. | 利用YouTube的能量, 我们要在西部和东部之间游荡, 参观一些坟墓, 这样所有的东西都符合我为你而来的一个很好的叙事。 |

| 65 | he stipulated in his will that they should only be shown for one month, | 他在遗嘱中规定,他们只被显示一个月。 |
