208.Charged

208.受到指控
Instead of suing Jack for his racist comments, Jack's lawyer convinced the prosecutor and judge to try to teach him a lesson!
杰克的种族主义言论没有受到指控,相反杰克的律师说服了原告和法官给他一个教训!

That’s when the Judge decided to make Jack work for the superintendent of Indian Affairs over the summer session! Maybe a little time spent among people of color would change Jack’s perceptions!

法官就是在这个时候决定让杰克暑期去给印第安事务负责人打工的!也许在有色人种中呆上一段时间会改变杰克的先入之见!
Jack almost burst out in rage! That was not the summer job that he had envisioned, working with Indians!
杰克差点气炸了!那可不是他想象的暑期工作——和印第安人一起干活!
But he sucked up his anger and subjected himself to the judge’s ruling. It could have been much worse; he could have been forced to work for blacks!
但他忍气吞声服从了法官的裁决。完全有可能判得重得多,他可能被强迫去给黑人干活!
When Jack got home he succumbed to deep depression. He hated any race that was not Caucasian! White people were just superior to all others!
回到家杰克都沮丧死了。只要不是白种人他都恨!白人就是比其他人种高人一等!
Jack always summed up his argument for this by pointing to the fact that Americans had succeeded in becoming the only superpower in the world-they were the best!
杰克总用一个事实总结他的论点,那就是美国人成功地成为了世界上唯一的超级大国——他们是最优秀的人!
Well, Jack wasn’t all right in the head! But he did have to submit to the order of the judge and work with a minority group!
嗨,杰克的头脑有些不正常!但他真的要服从法官的命令和少数民族一起工作!
Nothing would sweeten the pill of that punishment! Not even substituting Mexicans for Indians!
没有什么能使这种惩罚变得更易接受!就是用墨西哥人代替印第安人也不行!
All he knew about Indians was that they suffered from a high degree of alcoholism that made them suitable for nothing but beating their wives and living off the government!
他对印第安人的全部了解是他们深受高度酒精之苦,他们喝了酒就不适合干任何事情只会打老婆、靠政府救济!
Whatever, Jack would do what he had to do, even if he wasn’t suited to succeed! He just hoped that time would pass by quickly and he could get back to his neo-Nazi friends when he returned!
不管怎样,该做的事杰克一定会做,尽管他不适合做得很好!他只希望时间会很快过去,回来时他能回到他那些新纳粹主义朋友身边!
