实现美国梦 Realizing the American Dream "你什么时候才能明白，布巴？你什么时候才能明白，他们来这里都是为了分一杯羹，咬一口金苹果......花一百块钱买一辆车，到明年这个时候，他们都梦想着自己会成为下一个百万富翁？对不对？ "When are you going to realize, Bubba? When are you going to realize that they all come here to get a piece of the pie, a bite of the golden apple ...Spend a hundred bucks on a car, and by this time next year, they're all dreaming they'll be the next millionaire? Right? "很遗憾地告诉你，你被那些卡特尔小子们耍了，他们给你看了那些上世纪 80 年代的录像，录像里每个人都有大房子、好车，口袋里的钱哗哗地往外流，却没有一样是叮当作响的......他们看到你来了，孩子！" "这就是那个老头说的话，他像狮子王一样监视着自己的领地。 "I'm sorry to tell you that you got screwed by those cartel boys who showed you those videos from the 1980's where everyone has a big house, nice cars, and money pouring out of their pockets, but none of it is jingling ...They saw you coming, boy!" That's what the old man said, as he watched over his territory like a lion king. 老人停顿了一下，抖了抖破旧外套上的泥土，然后微笑着继续教育新人： "你们都晚来了 30 年，你们在这里唯一的梦想就是能乞讨到几条烟，或者换到足够的零钱买一份开心乐园餐......" The old man paused for a moment to shake the dirt from his tattered jacket, then smiled as he continued to educate the newcomers: "You're all 30 years late, and your only dream here is to be able to beg for a couple of cigarettes or change enough change to buy a Happy Meal ......" 大多数新手都是从他们曾经的家乡那个 "鸟不拉屎 "的地方出发，在路上奔波了六个星期后直接下车的。想想看？在历经艰险和磨难来到这里之后，你得到的第一件事就是这位老流浪汉告诉你，你错过了好机会，因为他让你相信，你原来的那个 "鬼地方 "比你在这里找到的任何东西都要好。 Most newbies get right off the bus after six weeks on the road from the "shithole" they once called home. Think about it? The first thing you get after all the hardships and tribulations of getting here is this old hobo telling you that you're missing out on a good opportunity because he's convinced you that your old "shithole" is better than anything you'll find here. 老人带着我四处游玩了一天，偶尔，他会停下来给我讲一些人的故事，他说："他们一旦变得比社会认为的价值更昂贵，就会被礼貌社会抛弃......" The old man took me around for the rest of the day, and occasionally, he would stop to tell me stories about people who, he said, "were abandoned by polite society as soon as they became more expensive than what society considered them to be worth ......" 老人强迫我看清并思考他刚才说的话，这让我很不舒服，因为他说的每一句话都是真的。在街头，这不是什么抽象的政策争论，因为你必须走过去点头，直视这些被丢弃的灵魂。 The old man forced me to see and think about what he had just said, which made me uncomfortable because everything he said was true. On the streets, it's not some abstract policy argument because you have to walk over and nod your head and look these discarded souls straight in the eye. 他们想知道我是否能帮助他们，除此之外，他们还想知道我是否能帮他们从全家超市买到一根烟，或者买到快乐餐或一瓶雷鸟酒的零钱。 They wanted to know if I could help them, among other things, with a cigarette from Family Mart or change for a Happy Meal or a bottle of Thunderbird. 我被这些老人的数量吓了一跳，他们本该在迈阿密的南海滩晒太阳，而不是蜷缩在阴暗的门口，试图保持温暖和安全。 I was taken aback by the number of elderly people who should have been basking in the sun on Miami's South Beach instead of huddling in shady doorways trying to stay warm and safe.
