For ages iron workers had obtained the finer metal by applying this heat in the form of charcoal, never once realizing that unlimited quantities of another fuel existed on every hand.

多年来，钢铁工人通过以木炭形式施加这种热量来获得更优质的金属，从来没有意识到每只手上都存在无限量的另一种燃料。

The Phoenicians were known for their fine metal working skill, and an interesting example of this is Achilles in Homer's " Iliad" , who presents a beautiful Phoenician silver crater as a prize in Patroclus' funerary games.

腓尼基人以其精湛的金属加工技巧而闻名，荷马史诗《伊利亚特》中的阿喀琉斯就是一个有趣的例子，他在普特洛克勒斯的葬礼游戏中提供了一个美丽的腓尼基银陨石坑作为奖品。
