VOA标准英语2008年-There's Quite a Tale to be Told Deep in the Roc

（单词翻译）

Beside a rushing Rocky Mountain trout¹ stream lie two American rarities: a castle and a company town in which a single company once owned every building – even people's homes. The castle belonged to the man who owned the company.
　
Built from red sandstone quarried² within sight of the castle, Cleveholm may have been the fanciest home in the 600 kilometers between Denver, Colo., and Salt Lake City, Utah

By 1892, Cleve Osgood, a cousin of U.S. President Grover Cleveland, controlled several Rocky Mountain coal mines and the only steel mill in the West. Osgood moved to New York, bought an entire city block, built a mansion³ on it, and became a cigar-smoking pal⁴ of other industrialists⁵. These were the men whom many called the robber barons⁶ of America's Gilded⁷ Age.
　
The Crystal River, which flows past Redstone, is a trout fisher's paradise in a narrow alpine⁸ valley that is still largely unspoiled and lightly traveled

Cleve Osgood also coveted⁹ a summer address as big as the West. So he bought 7,700 hectares of the wild Crystal River Valley of Colorado and built Redstone, an American feudal¹⁰ kingdom with 84 framed cottages, a guest inn, and a schoolhouse. The residents were workers from Osgood's nearby plant that made superheated coal called coke. Redstone's name came from the red sandstone mountain right across the river.
　
The Osgoods furnished Cleveholm with treasures from their world travels and trophies¹¹ of their hunts in Redstone Valley

And towering over the town was Cleveholm, the 42-room Tudor castle of Osgood's dreams. Cleve came from his name; holm from the Swedish word for home. His wife was Swedish. Osgood filled Cleveholm with trophy¹² animal heads, Tiffany lamps, ruby¹³ velvet¹⁴ drapes, and imported leather wall coverings. He brought his New York friends to see it in his equally opulent private rail cars, hauled down his own railroad spur.

Cleve Osgood eventually lost control of both his steel company and the town. Cleveholm became a dude ranch¹⁵, a resort, and then a bed-and-breakfast inn. In 2005, the century-old castle was sold at auction¹⁶ following a scandal in which investors¹⁷ were bilked out of $56 million. One of the ringleaders was sentenced to 330 years in jail.

Now in one owner's hands and still open to tours, the great Redstone castle is undergoing extensive renovation¹⁸ with an eye toward yet another rebirth… as a grand hotel.
