The power in the union 工会的力量 Trampling Out the Vintage: Csar Chvez and theTwo Souls of the United Farm Workers. By FrankBardacke. 把葡萄踩在脚下：塞萨尔查韦斯以及美国农会的两个灵魂人物。弗兰克巴达克著。 He is trampling out the vintage is part of a linefrom The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Itcontinues where the grapes of wrath are stored. Thus the title of Frank Bardacke s historydeliberately echoes John Steinbeck s novel, a proletarian classic which tells the story oftenant farmers driven off their fields in Oklahoma and forced to cross the country to seekwork in California. 他踏在......是《共和国战歌》里的一段，后接着搁愤怒葡萄的地方。因此，弗兰克巴达克的史书的标题有意应和了约翰斯登贝克那部讲述俄克拉荷马失地佃农被迫横穿美国到加州谋生的无产阶级经典小说。 But, as Mr Bardacke stresses, a huge demographic difference divides then from now. In theDepression of the 1930s Steinbeck could present his impoverished Okies as deserving ofgovernment help because they were true American whites. It was harder for theirMexican-American successors to win public sympathy. They were brown, Spanish-speakingand considered aliens and sojourners. 但是，正如巴达克强调，从人口学上讲，现在与过去已大不同。30年代大萧条时，斯登贝克可以提出贫困的俄克拉荷马人应得到政府帮助，因为他们是真正的美国白人。对墨西哥裔美国人来说，获得公众同情则比较难。这些棕色皮肤，说西班牙语的人被看作外国人和旅居者。 |
