印第安人

This type of corn, introduced to the settlers by Native Americans, was long grown by them, little knowing that their benefaction would one day be consumed by countless moviegoers while watching Westerns.

这种类型的玉米是美洲印第安人介绍给这些拓荒者的，且已被这些印第安人种植很久了，但他们几乎无法料到他们的施惠有一天会被无数电影观众一边嚼着一边看西部片。

He led an escape to Canada in September 1876 in the vengeful aftermath of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

前者是北美苏族印第安人亨克巴帕部落的首领，也是一位巫师。1876年美军在小比格霍恩战役失败后对印第安人进行报复，塞汀率领族人逃往加拿大。

He also survivied the Battle of Little Bighorn, where he fought side by side with Custer himself--even though he'd sworn to kill him.

本书描述的就是这个曾在白人和印第安人社会出生入死多次的小巨人所回忆的他一生的经历，从一个侧面反映了美国西部开拓时期的一页血与泪的历史，它是为印第安人翻案的反传统西部故事，其内容和构想都处理得颇具新意，每一段情节都具有相当高的趣味性。

The disease began to fall a－mongst them also, so as almost half of their company died before they went away, and many of their officers and lustiest men, as the boatswain, gunner, three quar－termasters, the cook and others.

他也向他们介绍了这里的印第安人的情况，他们的姓名、人数和力量，还有他们的生活情况、与这个地方相隔的距离，以及谁是那些印第安人中的首领。

But such of the passengers as were yet aboard showed them what mercy they could which made some of their hearts relent, as the boatswain who was a proud young man and would often curse and scoff at the passengers.

与印第安人的关系在这段时间里，印第安人一直偷偷地隐藏在他们周围，有时候在远处现身，但当有任何人接近他们的时候，他们就会马上逃走。

One of the first people generally credited with forming the idea of a "national park" was George Catlin, a self-taught artist who traveled extensively among the native peoples of North America, while sketching and painting portraits, landscapes, and scenes from daily Indian life. On a trip to the Dakotas in 1832, he worried about the impact of America's westward expansion on Indian civilization, wildlife, and wilderness.

乔治·卡特林被公认为是形成"国家公园"这一概念的先驱之一，他是一位自学成才的画家，广泛游历于北美洲的土著居民中间，并在旅行中描画肖像、风景和日常印第安人生活的场景。1832年，在前往北达科他州和南达科他州的一次旅行中，他对于美国西进运动对印第安人文明、野生动物和自然风貌带来的冲击甚感忧虑。

A core theme of US experience in developing the west is the forcible relocation of Native Americans through atrocities such as the 1831 " Trail of Tears ", during which the Choctaw, Cherokee, Seminole and other nations were moved from the south-eastern part of the United States to what is today's Oklahoma , thousands of Indians dying from disease and starvation along the way.

美国西部开发的主要内容就是动用种种暴行强行迫使美洲印第安人迁居。例如，印第安人不得不于1831年踏上"血泪之路"。乔克托族、彻罗基族、塞米诺族、以及其他一些部族被迫从美国东南部迁往今天的俄克拉何马州。途中，疾病和饥饿夺去了数千名印第安人的生命。

It was the largest and most powerful group in the west. The Santee Sioux lived along the northeastern edge of the Great Plains in what is now the state of Minnesota. They signed treaties with the government giving up ninety percent of their land. The Santee agreed to live in a small area.

随着和平的到来，美国政府出台了一项针对西部印第安人的新政策，政府决定给每一个印第安部落都划定一定居住区，这样的居住区就叫"印第安人保留区"，每一个印第安人部落都居住在他们自己的保留区内。

However, the deprivation of identity and pride has turned out to be devastating for the native people, who are now trying to recover some of their traditions by reviving rituals such as the Sun Dance and to re-learn their language in native-run schools.

然而，剥夺了他们的自我认知和自尊对印第安人而言却是毁灭性的打击。如今，印第安人通过恢复一些太阳舞这样的宗教仪式来找回他们的传统，并且在一些印第安人开办的学校里重新开始学习他们的语言。

I use an example quoted by Hu Jiaqi:"It is reported that America separates the DNA of a kind of virus by making use of genetic technology and combines it with another kind of DNA. Finally, they get a kind of virulent biological agent called a "pyrotoxin". Someone discloses in private that 20 grams of such a kind of biological agent could result in the global death of 6 billion people due to infection."

我在这里例举胡家奇所引用过的例子："据报道，美国利用转基因技术，将一种病毒的DNA分离出来，与另外一种DNA进行结合，拼结成一种剧毒的"热毒素"生物战剂，且私下有人透露，这种生物战剂只需20克，就可以导致全球60亿人全部感染死亡。"
