Well continue with our introducti

24、on to American minorities. Todays focus is on Chinese Americans. UFor many years it was common in the United States to associate Chinese Americans with restaurants and laundries. People did not realize that the Chinese had been driven into these occupations by the prejudice and discrimination that u

25、sed to face them in this country/U. (美国华人迫于歧视和偏见，只能经营餐馆和洗衣店，所以填restaurants and laundries。)The first group of Chinese came during the California Gold Rush of 1849. Like most of the other people, they had come to search for gold. In that largely unoccupied land, they stated a claim for themselves by p

26、lacing markers in the ground. UHowever, either because the Chinese were so different from the others or because they worked so patiently that they sometimes succeeded in turning a seemingly worthless mining claim into a profitable one, they became the scapegoats of their envious competitors. They we

27、re harassed in many ways/U. (由于华人淘金成功，遭到其他人的妒忌和欺侮，所以填success。)Often they were prevented from working on their claims; some localities even passed regulations for bidding them to own claims. Therefore, these Chinese had to seek out other ways of earning a living. Some of them began to do the laundry

28、for the white miners; others set up small restaurants. There were few women in California in those days, and the Chinese filled a real need by doing this womans work. Some others went to work as farmhands or as fishermen.In the early 1860s, a second group of Chinese arrived in California. UThis time

29、, they were imported as work crews to construct the first transcontinental railroad/U. (华人被运来修建第一条横贯大陆的铁路，所以填transcontinental railroad。) The work was so strenuous and dangerous, and it was carried on in such a remote part of the country, that the railroad company could not find other laborers for th

30、e job. As in the case of their predecessors, these Chinese were almost all males and they encountered a great deal of prejudice. The hostility grew especially strong after the railroad project was completed, and the imported laborers returned to California, all out of work. Because there were so man

31、y more of them this time, these Chinese drew even more attention than the earlier group did. UThey were so different in every aspect: in their physical appearance, in their language, and in their religion. They were contemptuously called heathen Chinese/U. (华人和白人在身体、语言和宗教方面都有所不同，因此被称为“异教徒中国佬”，所以填rel

32、igion。)When times were hard, they were blamed for working for lower wages and taking jobs away from white men. And these white men were actually recent immigrants themselves. Anti-Chinese riots broke out in many cities. Some even developed into arson and bloodshed. UThe Chinese were not allowed to m

33、ake legal appeals and they were not accepted as American citizens/U. (华人没有上诉权，不被视作美国公民，所以说他们被剥夺了公民权或者公民身份，因此填citizenship。) Californians began to demand that no more Chinese be permitted to enter their state. Finally, in 1882, the Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which stopped the immigrati

34、on of Chinese laborers. UMany Chinese returned to their homeland, and their numbers declined sharply in the early part of the last century/U. (由于社会的排斥，很多华人回国，因此在20世纪初美国的华人减少，所以此处可概括为decreased或reduced。)However, during WW , when China was an ally of the United States, the Exclusion laws were ended; a

35、small number of Chinese were allowed to immigrate each year, and Chinese could become American citizens. In 1965, in a general revision of immigration laws, many more Chinese were permitted to settle here.UFrom the start, the Chinese had lived apart in their own separate neighborhoods, which came to

36、 be known as Chinatowns/U. In each of them the residents organized an unofficial government to make rules for the community and to settle disputes. UMany people couldnt find jods on the outside, and they went into business for themselves, primarily to serve their own neighborhood/U. (由这两句可知，起初中国人只能在

37、华人街居住，而且在华人街之外的地方难以找到工作，所以说他们的生活和工作都局限在华人街，因此概括为confined to。) As for laundries and restaurants, some of them soon spread in the city, since such services continued to be in demand among non-Chinese, too. To this day, certain Chinatowns, especially thoese of San Francisco and New York, are very busy,

38、 thriving communities. They have become great attractions for tourists and for those who enjoy chinese food.UMost of todays Chinese Americans are the descendants of some of the early miners and railroad workers. Those immigrants had been uneducated farm laborers in the vicinity of Canton in Southeas

39、t China before they came to America/U. (如今大部分的美籍华人都是先前淘金者和铁路工人的后代，而这些人原本是中国东南地区广东附近没有受过教育的农民，所以填uneducated。)Even after having lived here for several generations, Chinese Americans retain many aspects of their ancient culture. For example, their family ties continue to be remarkably strong. Members o

40、f the family lend each other moral support and also practical help when necessary. From a very young age children are taught with the old values and attitudes, including respect for their elders and a feeling of responsibility to the family. This helps to explain why there is so little juvenile deli

41、nquency among them.UThe high regard for education, and the willingness to work very hard to gain advancement, are another noteworthy characteristics of them. This explains why so many descendants of uneducated laborers have succeeded in becoming doctors, lawyers and other professionals/U. (重视教育、工作勤奋

42、的传统使华人农民的后人出人头地，因此填diligence或者industry。) By the way, many of the most outstanding Chinese American scholars, scientists, and artists are more recent arrivals. They come from Chinas former upper class and they represent its high cultural traditions.Chinese Americans make up only a tiny fraction of th

43、e American population. They live chiefly in California, New York, and Hawaii. As American attitudes toward minorities and toward ethnic differences have changed in recent years, the long-hated Chinese have gained wide acceptance. Today, they are generally admired for many remarkable characteristics,

44、 and are often held up as an example worth following. UAnd their numerous contributions to their adopted land are much appreciated/U. (美籍华人对美国的贡献得到了重视，所以填contributions。)Now, we are coming to the end of our lecture. Today weve talked about what Chinese Americans have undergone since the California Go
