停用十八年嘅中環街市，最近活化重開，變身集特色食肆同本地品牌於一身嘅潮流地標，一開幕就大受歡迎。

The Central Market in Central, which had been closed for eighteen years, has recently been revitalized and reopened, transforming into a trendy landmark that combines distinctive restaurants and local brands, and it has been very popular since it has re-opened.
大家有冇諗過點解商廈林立嘅中環會有一座街市呢？
daai6 gaa1 jau5 mou5 nam2 gwo3 dim2 gaai2 soeng1 haa6 lam4 laap6 ge3 zung1 waan4 wui5 jau5 jat1 zo6 gaai1 si5 ne1?
Have you ever wondered why there would be a market in Central, which is full of many commercial buildings?
噉就要由百幾年前嘅歷史講起喇。
gam2 zau6 jiu3 jau4 baak3 gei2 nin4 cin4 ge3 lik6 si2 gong2 hei2 laa3
Well, that means going back to the history of over a hundred years ago.
啱啱活化嘅中環街市屬於第四代嘅街市建築，而第一代嘅中環街市其實早喺一八四二年就已經落成。
ngaam1 ngaam1 wut6 faa3 ge3 zung1 waan4 gaai1 si5 suk6 jyu1 dai6 sei3 doi6 ge3 gaai1 si5 gin3 zuk1, ji4 dai6 jat1 doi6 ge3 zung1 waan4 gaai1 si5 kei4 sat6 zou2 hai2 jat1 baat3 sei3 ji6 nin4 zau6 ji5 ging1 lok6 sing4
The recently revitalized Central Market belongs to the fourth generation of market buildings, and the first generation of Central Market was actually completed as early as 1842.
喺香港開埠初期，由於英軍需要喺港島興建各種嘅基建，唔少華人工匠同埋糧食商販嚟到港島。

In the early days of Hong Kong's establishment as a port, as the British army needed to build various infrastructure on Hong Kong Island, many Chinese craftsmen and food vendors came to Hong Kong Island.
為咗迎合一班基層嘅需求，所以就有咗第一代街市嘅出現。
wai4 zo2 jing4 hap6 jat1 baan1 gei1 cang4 ge3 seoi1 kau4, so2 ji5 zau6 jau5 zo2 dai6 jat1 doi6 gaai1 si5 ge3 ceot1 jin6
To meet the needs of ordinary people, the first generation of the market came into being.
後嚟因為內地移民湧入，需求膨脹，第二同第三代街市相繼落成。
hau6 lei4 jan1 wai6 noi6 dei6 ji4 man4 jung2 jap6, seoi1 kau4 paang4 zoeng3, dai6 ji6 tung4 dai6 saam1 doi6 gaai1 si5 soeng1 gai3 lok6 sing4
Later, due to the influx of mainland immigrants and the expansion of demand, the second and third generations of markets were built successively.
第三代中環街市，採用維多利亞式嘅建築風格，紅磚外牆，配上花崗岩嘅裝飾，充滿殖民色彩。
dai6 saam1 doi6 zung1 waan4 gaai1 si5, coi2 jung6 wai4 do1 lei6 aa3 sik1 ge3 gin3 zuk1 fung1 gaak3, hung4 zyun1 ngoi6 coeng4, pui3 soeng6 faa1 gong1 ngaam4 ge3 zong1 sik1, cung1 mun5 zik6 man4 sik1 coi2
The third generation of Central Market adopted the Victorian architectural style, with red brick walls and granite decorations, full of colonial character.
喺附近嘅中式騎樓映照下，係咪好特別呢？
hai2 fu6 gan6 ge3 zung1 sik1 ke4 lau2 jing2 ziu3 haa6, hai6 mai2 hou2 dak6 bit6 ne1?
Under the reflection of the nearby Chinese-style arcades, isn't it special?
目前大家所見嘅第四代中環街市，喺一九三九年興建，採用當時流行嘅包豪斯建築風格，設計簡約實用。

The fourth generation of Central Market that everyone can see today was built in 1939, adopting the Bauhaus architectural style popular at the time, with a simple and practical design.
作為昔日東南亞最大嘅肉類市場，呢一度有全香港最新鮮最齊全嘅食材，係居民買餸嘅好地方。

As the largest meat market in Southeast Asia in the past, this place had the freshest and most complete ingredients in Hong Kong, making it a good place for residents to buy groceries.
不過七十年代開始，隨住中環一帶嘅金融商廈落成，加上超級市場興起，中環街市開始同附近嘅建築物顯得格格不入，使用率仲越嚟越低，最終喺二零零三年關閉。

However, starting in the 1970s, with the completion of financial and commercial buildings in Central and the rise of supermarkets, the Central Market began to look out of place with the surrounding buildings, and its usage rate became lower and lower, eventually closing in 2003.
千禧年代，政府一度將中環街市嘅地皮納入勾地表，考慮做私人發展。
cin1 hei1 nin4 doi6, zing3 fu2 jat1 dou6 zoeng1 zung1 waan4 gaai1 si5 ge3 dei6 pei4 naap6 jap6 ngau1 dei6 biu2, haau2 leoi6 zou6 si1 jan4 faat3 zin2
In the 2000s, the government at one time included the land of Central Market in the List of Sites for Sale by Application, considering it for private development.
後嚟因應社會嘅保育聲音，先將佢交畀市建局活化。
hau6 lei4 jan1 jing3 se5 wui2 ge3 bou2 juk6 sing1 jam1, sin1 zoeng1 keoi5 gaau1 bei2 si5 gin3 guk2 wut6 faa3
Later, in response to the calls for conservation from society, it was handed over to the Urban Renewal Authority for revitalization.
由香港開埠到經歷戰亂，經濟起飛到香港回歸，中環街市經過多年嘅諮詢同活化，終於以嶄新姿態重現人前，再度成為中環呢一道重要風景。

From the establishment of Hong Kong as a port to experiencing wars, economic take-off to the return of Hong Kong, the Central Market, after years of consultation and revitalization, has finally reappeared in public with a new look, once again becoming an important landmark in Central.
