做苦工

They could do only simple, monotonous and mundane things, like moving objects from one production line to another—they were drudges, like the slaves Karel Capek described in 1920 in the play that coined the term from the Czech word robota, or "forced labour".

它们只能做些简单，单调，乏味的工作。比如说把货物从一个流水线上转移到另一个上。它们只是苦工，正如上世纪二十年代卡雷尔？恰佩克在话剧中用捷克语robota创造了robot的初衷一样，只是&被奴役的劳工&。

There is no work for any but the decorous and the complaisant. Young men of the fairest promise, who begin life upon our shores, inflated by the mountain winds, shined upon by all the stars of God, find the earth below not in unison with these,--but are hindered from action by the disgust which the principles on which business is managed inspire, and turn drudges, or die of disgust,--some of them suicides.

有着远大前程的青年人，诞生于我们的海岸，来自群山长风鼓动他们的胸怀，上帝的众星照耀着他们，他们却发现脚下的土地和这一切不能相互协调，——他们受制约，因着那令人作呕的行事规则被迫置身行动之外，一些转做单调乏味的苦工，另一些无法忍受那憎恶——他们中的一些人自杀而亡。

The farm, with all its pleasures and drudgeries holds me as it does few other farm girls.

农场， 以所有它的乐趣和苦工拿着我当它做少量其它农厂女孩或许这块磁铁是农业和农厂生活总之，或或许它是正义的我们的农场。

During the Great Depression,work was Hard to find,so Grandpa did whatever obs he could.

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
