Translate the following passage into Chinese.The first great rush of population to the far west was drawn to the mountainous regions, where gold was found in California in 1848. Miners opened up the country, established communities, and laid the foundations for more permanent settlements. Yet even while digging in the hills, some settlers perceived the region’s farming and stock-raising possibilities.
【正确答案】：
大规模地迁往西部纵深地区的移民，大多数集中在山区。1848年，在加州发现了金矿。采矿者开发了这些地方，建立了村镇，打下了永久定居的基础。然而，人们在采矿的同时，也看到了这些地区还有从事农业和畜牧业的可能。
【题目解析】：第一句：be drawn to......意为：被...吸引，被山区吸引意译为集中在山区，定语从句修饰the mountainous regions。第二句：open up意为：开发；lay the foundation for...意为：为......打下基础。做题时，注意三个并列谓语的翻译。第三句：Yet表示语意的转折，perceive觉察、感知，farming and stock-raising possibilities意为：农业和畜牧业的可能。
