the Klondike
/ðə ˈklɒndaɪk/
/ðə ˈklɑːndaɪk/
- an area of the Yukon Territory of north-west Canada where gold was discovered in 1897. This led to the Klondike gold rush, in which about 30 000 people, many of them from the US, travelled to the Klondike in the hope of finding gold. Gold worth about $22 million was found in 1900, but the supply did not last long, and many people then moved on to Alaska. Charlie Chaplin's film The Gold Rush (1925) was based on this event.
克朗代克（Klondike）：加拿大西北部育空地区的一个地区，该地区于1897年发现了黄金。这导致了克朗代克淘金热，其中约有3万人（其中许多来自美国）前往克朗代克，希望寻找黄金。1900年发现了价值约2200万美元的黄金，但供应持续时间不长，许多人随后前往阿拉斯加。查理·卓别林（Charlie Chaplin）的电影《淘金热（The Gold Rush）（1925）》是根据这一事件改编的。
