原文及翻譯
When the African slaves arrived in the Americas, the plantation owners made them work on farms that produced goods such as cotton and sugar. In many places, they worked very hard, and many of the slaves died from overwork. They were then replaced by other slaves who arrived from Africa. However, many slaves survived despite the brutal conditions.
當(dāng)非洲奴隸抵達(dá)美洲時(shí)，種植園主讓他們?cè)谏a(chǎn)棉花和糖等商品的農(nóng)場(chǎng)工作。在許多地方，他們工作非常辛苦，許多奴隸因過度勞累而死亡。然后他們被來自非洲的其他奴隸所取代。然而，盡管條件惡劣，許多奴隸還是幸存了下來。
In some places, the African slaves were able to revolt against the plantation owners, although this was difficult because the slaves who had recently arrived spoke many different languages. Some slaves escaped into wilderness areas and were able to remain free from the plantation owners.
在一些地方，非洲奴隸能夠反抗種植園主，盡管這很困難，因?yàn)閯偟降呐`說著許多不同的語言。一些奴隸逃到荒野地區(qū)，得以擺脫種植園主的束縛。
As time went by, many people in Europe and in the Americas realized that slavery was wrong. By the 1830s, slavery had been ended or abolished in islands owned by the British and in parts of the United States.
隨著時(shí)間的推移，歐洲和美洲的許多人意識(shí)到奴隸制是錯(cuò)誤的。到 19 世紀(jì) 30 年代，奴隸制在英國擁有的島嶼和美國部分地區(qū)被終止或廢除。
In the southern United States, slavery was ended in the 1860s during the Civil War. In some countries, such as Brazil and Cuba, slavery only ended in the 1880s. Today, many millions of people in North and South America are descendants of slaves who were brought from Africa. The effects of slavery have lasted for many generations, and there was much racial prejudice against African people.
在美國南部，奴隸制在 19 世紀(jì) 60 年代的內(nèi)戰(zhàn)期間結(jié)束。在巴西和古巴等一些國家，奴隸制直到 19 世紀(jì) 80 年代才結(jié)束。如今，北美和南美有數(shù)百萬人是從非洲被帶到這里的奴隸的后裔。奴隸制的影響持續(xù)了許多代，人們對(duì)非洲人懷有強(qiáng)烈的種族偏見。
When slavery ended, however, some have achieved success despite these disadvantages. Today, the people of African background in North and South America are a very important part of the population in many countries.
然而，當(dāng)奴隸制結(jié)束時(shí)，盡管存在這些不利因素，一些人還是取得了成功。如今，北美和南美的非洲裔人群是許多國家人口中非常重要的一部分。
