Murfreesboro is known for its diamonds. Visitors, like Hermansons come all the way from West Virginia, to the one-of-a-kind diamond park in town. Thomas Stolartz, a superintendent at the park knows why. “And that’s the neat thing here, there are actually here, there is actually treasure here, and you can actually look for it, and if you find it, it’s yours to keep.”

M镇因钻石而闻名。像H一样的游客，从西弗吉尼亚州远道而来，慕名来到城镇里的钻石公园。TS，一位公园主管这样向我们解释道。“这就是这里最好的东西，它们确实在这，这里也确实有宝藏，而且你可以寻找它们，如果你找到了，它就是你的了。”

Thomas Stolartz says for just $6, visitor can spend a whole day at the park to search and dig diamonds. “The search area is about 37.5 acres in size so there is plenty of room for everyone.

TS说只要花6块钱，游客就可以在公园待上一整天来寻找和挖钻石。“寻找区域有37.5英亩，所以对每个人来说都有地方。”

Diamonds are formed deep within the earth where heat and pressure create the necessary condition for carbon atoms to bond tightly. According to scientists, a volcanic eruption at the Crater of Diamonds location one hundred million years ago brought the diamonds to the earth’s surface.

钻石是在地下深处形成的，那里的高温和高压形成了碳原子紧密结合的必要条件。科学家说，100百万年前在Crater of Diamonds的一次火山喷发把钻石带上了地球表面。

Since the first diamond was found in the crater of diamonds in 1906, the park had several different owners until the State Kansas made it a state park in 1972.

自从1906年，在Crater of Diamonds发现第一颗钻石后，公园数次易主，直到1972年被堪萨斯州定为州际公园。
