He continued growing the company and established a bank before commisioning Willis Polk, who would become his architect of choice, to design for him a towering red clinker brick townhouse in San Francisco's Pacific Heights Neighborhood.

在委托威利斯·波尔克之前，他继续把公司发展壮大并建立了一家银行，波尔克，他后来的首选建筑师，在旧金山的太平洋高地他设计了一座高耸的红色熟料砖联别墅。

To produce clinker, you need to maintain a temperature of over 1,400 degrees Celsius.

要生产熟料，需要将温度维持在摄氏1400度以上。

Startups have been in a race to develop a new kind of green cement that avoids clinker altogether.

初创公司一直在竞相开发一种完全不含熟料的新型绿色水泥。

But producing high-quality clinker is a complex science.

然而，生产高质量的熟料是一门复杂的科。

China uses less clinker in their cement than the global average and they have at least one carbon capture project in the works.

中国在水泥中使用的熟料比全球平均水平要少，而且他们至少有一个碳捕获项目正在进行中。

Experts emphasized one new cement mixture that gets the clinker ratio safely down to 50% by supplementing it with more clay and unprocessed limestone.

专家们强调了一种新的水泥混合物，通过添加更多的粘土和未加工的石灰石，可以将熟料比例安全地降低到 50%。

Most of the emissions come from the process of producing clinker, the key ingredient in cement.

大部来自生产水泥熟料的过程，熟料是水泥的关键成。

These reductions will help in reducing emissions… but until we find a scalable, zero-emission cement, any clinker production at all will inevitably have process emissions.

这些减少将有助于减少… … 但在我们找到可扩展的零水泥之前，任何熟料生产都将不可避免地产生过程。

We could reduce the clinker ratio even more.

我们可以进一步降低熟料比。

So one strategy is to find a substitute for the clinker.

所以一个策略是找到熟料的替代品。

In North America, clinker accounts for about 90% of cement due to safety standards.

在北美，由于安全标准，熟料约占水泥的 90%。

What is left behind are lime-based lumps of a material called clinker.

留下的是称熟料的石灰基块状物。

This is sturdier and allows for larger vessels than clinker construction, which is when the edges of the planks overlap, but it requires more caulking to keep the vessel watertight.

这种结构更加坚固， 允许使用更大的船体，而拼接构造则是指木板边缘相互重叠，但这种结构需要更多的填缝材料来保持船体的水密性。

Ecocem, an Irish startup, is making cement that uses less clinker, the intermediate material derived from the heated limestone, and thus emits less carbon.

Ecocem 是一家爱尔兰初创公司， 正在生产使用较少熟料（从加热的石灰石中提取的中间材料） 的水泥， 从而减少碳。

Once it goes through the kiln it becomes a material called clinker: the key binding ingredient in cement.

一旦进入窑炉，它就变成了一种叫做熟料的材料：水泥的关键粘合成。

So Titanic had 20 lifeboats, 16 lifeboats that are what you would call proper clinker built wooden lifeboats.

所以泰坦尼克号有20艘救生艇，16艘是你所说的正规的木制拼接救生艇。

And you can tell that they're Dutch because the brickwork of the clinkers is really well done.

而且你能看出他们是荷兰人，因他们的红砖砌工做得非常精致。

Over time, you can also glue stone, clinker tiles, or some other material onto fiber cement.

随着时间推移，你还可以将石头、烧结砖或其他材料粘贴到纤维水泥板上。

The Cambridge team found that a paste made from old cement can perform the same job just as well, and that the heat from the furnaces can turn it back into good quality clinker at the same time.

剑桥团队发现，由旧水泥制成的浆料可以同样出色地完成任务，而且炉子产生的热量可以同时将其转化高质量的熟料。

Either way, that would be very early in the shift away from clinker construction in the area.

无论是哪种情况，那都将是该地远离水泥结构转型中非常早期的一个阶段。
