印第安人

Three hundred years ago when Peter Pond came through, he said on the banks of the Athabasca and clear water rivers, the local Indians, the Crees, would take these bitumen sands and put them in a pot of water and skim the bitumen off the top, and they'd mix it with pitch and they'd use that to fix their canoes.

三百年前，彼得庞德来到这里时，他站在阿萨巴斯卡河岸边，对着清澈的河流说到：本地的印第安人，克里人，会把这些沥青砂放进一个水罐里，刮出最上层的沥青，然后把它们与焦油混合，用来修理他们的独木舟。

By riding on about eight or mine miles farther, however, this wonder is a little diminished; for here we come to one of the devouring wens; namely, CHEL TENHAM, which is what they call a "watering place", that is to say, a place to whcih East India plunderers, West India floggers,English taxgorgers, together with gluttons, drunkards, and debauchees of all descriptions, femals as well as male, resort, at the suggestion of silently laughing quacks, in the hope of getting rid of the bodily consequences of their manifold sins and iniquities.

就是人们叫做&朝圣泉&的地方。也就是说，一个印度掠夺者，印第安人鞭挞者，英国税收者，还有各种各样贪食者，酒鬼，以及放荡者，有男的有女的，经常光顾的地方。他们在江湖庸医的建议下，期望来这里可以去除掉自身各种各样的原罪与邪恶。每当我来到像这样的地方，我常常想用手指把鼻子给捏上。确实，这是愚蠢的行为。

There are a lot of exaggeration s and falsehoods about the Indians.

I've learned lots of traditional customs here, and we just experienced a quite big festival: Thanksgiving Day.Thanksgiving is the day when people show their thanks. It has some history background. When the Indians immigrated to America, they started to build their own houses and plant in bad conditions like fatigue starvation cold and disease. With the help of the local Americans, they got harvest the next year. In order to celebrate this,they started the carnival. Later it is called Thanksgiving.

在这里我学到了许多这里的风俗习惯，还过了一个比较大的节日一个是感恩节，感恩节感恩节是西方感恩上帝的节日，是古代印第安人漂流到美洲，他们在疲劳、饥饿、寒冷和疾病的袭击下在美洲开始建立家园，第二年秋天得到了丰收，为了庆祝丰收，他们开始了狂欢，于是这个节日就被继承下来。

John's, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingoes flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it.

迈克尔呢，年纪很小，他有一只红鹤，上面飞着许多湖泊。约翰住在一只翻扣在沙滩上的船里，迈克尔住在一个印第安人的皮棚里，温迪住在一间用树叶巧妙地缝成的屋子里。

And, furthermore, not only is Western consumption causing climate change, but it is impinging upon the fundamental freedoms of others, such as forest-dwelling native Amazonians.

进一步说，气温变化不仅仅因西方消费方式而起，还和侵犯其他人生存自由的基本权利有关，比如破坏了生活在森林的印第安人的生活。

Jacob Halsey, in charge of the Fort Union depot, thought the best thing to do was to vaccinate everybody and he is said to have been surprised when a number of his subjects began vomiting, bleeding, and dying.

而居住在密西西比河上游的联邦堡地区的印第安人，不顾及知道病疫危险的白人们的警告，拒绝从船边离开，拒绝迁散，认为这是再次对他们的欺骗。那时联邦堡补

A Mandan stole a blanket contaminated by smallpox, which started the plague in that area, and upriver at Fort Union the Indians refused to disperse, even after being warned away from the boat by whites who now understood the danger.

1837年6月20日，&圣彼得&号轮船在克拉克堡港口卸货，他们给印第安人交付了一批他们喜爱的货物，可带来一些他们不想要的东西。一个曼旦部落人偷了一条

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

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。
