South Dakota 南达科他州

It was August 10, 1927. United States president Calvin Coolidge waited beneath a huge, granite cliff in South Dakota. He watched as a 60-year-old man climbed to the top of the cliff. The man was Gutzon Borglum. He drilled some holes into the stone. The cliff was the face of Mount Rushmore, and Borglum had begun sculpting one of America¡¯s most famous landmarks.

那是1927年8月10日美国总统卡尔文·柯立芝在南达科他州一个巨大的花岗岩悬崖下等候。他看着一个60岁的老人爬上悬崖顶。那人是古特松·博格卢姆他在石头上钻了一些洞。悬崖是拉什莫尔山的面，博格卢姆雕刻了美国最著名的地标之一。

THE MOUNT RUSHMORE STATE

拉什莫尔山州

South Dakota is nicknamed the Mount Rushmore State. Borglum and about 400 workers sculpted Mount Rushmore for 14 years. They carved the heads of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt into the granite cliff. The heads are 60 feet (20 meters) tall. More than 2 million people visit Mount Rushmore every year.

南达科他州被昵称为拉什莫尔山州。博格卢姆和大约400名工人雕刻拉什莫尔山14年。他们把美国总统乔治·华盛顿、托马斯·杰斐逊、亚伯拉罕·林肯和西奥多·罗斯福的头刻在花岗岩峭壁上。头部有60英尺（20米）高。每年有超过200万人参观拉什莫尔山。

THE BLACK HILLS AND BADLANDS

黑山和荒地

Mount Rushmore is in the Black Hills in the western part of South Dakota. The Black Hills are a popular tourist spot. These pine-covered hills appear black from a distance, giving the area its name. High peaks of granite rock rise above the evergreen forests. These spiky peaks are called the Needles. The Black Hills area has long been sacred to Native Americans.

拉什莫尔山位于南达科他州西部的黑山。黑山是一个受欢迎的旅游景点。这些松树覆盖的山丘从远处看起来是黑色的，该地区因此得名。花岗岩的高峰在常绿森林之上升起。这些尖峰被称为针。黑山地区长期以来一直是美洲原住民的圣地。

The Badlands National Park in southwestern South Dakota is another popular place to visit. Wind and water have carved the rocks in the Badlands into towers, gulches, and other interesting shapes. The bare, jagged rocks form a strange landscape. The Sioux people named this landscape the badlands. The Sioux also gave the state its name. The Dakota people are a branch of the Sioux.

南达科他州西南部的荒地国家公园是另一个受欢迎的旅游胜地。风和水把荒地里的岩石雕刻成塔楼、沟渠和其他有趣的形状。裸露的锯齿状岩石形成了一个奇怪的景观。苏族人把这片风景区命名为荒地。苏族也给州取了名字。达科他州人是苏族人的一个分支。

THE PRAIRIE

草原

Much of South Dakota is flat or rolling prairie. The Missouri River runs through the state, dividing it roughly in half. The eastern half is mostly flat. Low, rolling hills are in the western half, along with the Black Hills and Badlands. Farmers grow crops and raise livestock, especially beef cattle, in both parts of the state.

南达科他州大部分地区是平坦或起伏的草原。密苏里河流经该州，大致将其分割为两半。东半部分大部分是平的。低矮的连绵起伏的山丘位于西半部分，还有黑山和荒地。该州两地的农民种植庄稼和饲养牲畜，特别是肉牛。

Laura Ingalls Wilder lived in De Smet, South Dakota. She wrote books for children about her family¡¯s experiences on the prairie. The book Little Town on the Prairie tells about pioneer days in South Dakota. You can visit her house in De Smet.

劳拉·英格尔斯·怀尔德住在南达科他州的德斯梅特。她为孩子们写了一些关于她家庭的书，讲述她在草原上的经历。《草原上的小镇》一书讲述了南达科他州的先驱时代。你可以参观她在德斯梅特的家。

Early settlers of South Dakota built a palace decorated all over with corn in 1892 in the town of Mitchell. They wanted to display the fertility of the state¯s soil. Mitchell still has a corn palace. Murals made of corn decorate the outside of the building. New murals go up every year.

1892年，南达科他州的早期定居者在米切尔镇建造了一座用玉米装饰的宫殿。他们想展示该州土壤的肥力。米切尔还有一个玉米宫。用玉米做的壁画装饰着建筑的外面。新的壁画每年都在增加。

EARLY EXPLORERS IN SOUTH DAKOTA

南达科他州的早期探险家

French Canadian explorers were probably the first white people to reach South Dakota. In the 1740s, they were looking for a water passage from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean. They claimed the region for France.

法兰西加拿大探险家可能是第一个到达南达科他州的白人。在1740年代，他们正在寻找一条从五大湖到太平洋的水通道。他们声称该地区为法国。

In 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory, including South Dakota, from France. An expedition headed by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark explored this new territory. The expedition followed the Missouri River. After the expedition, fur traders set up trading posts in South Dakota.

1803年，美国从法国购买了路易斯安那州领土，包括南达科他州。以梅里韦瑟·刘易斯和威廉·克拉克为首的探险队探索了这片新领域。探险队沿着密苏里河。考察结束后，毛皮贸易商在南达科他州设立了贸易站。

DAKOTA TERRITORY

达科他州领土

After Lewis and Clark reported on their travels, white settlers began to move to South Dakota. On March 2, 1861, the U.S. Congress established the Dakota Territory. The Dakota Territory included all of present-day North and South Dakota and parts of Wyoming and Montana.

在刘易斯和克拉克报告他们的旅行后，白人定居者开始迁往南达科他州。1861年3月2日，美国国会建立了达科他州领土。达科他州领土包括所有现在的北达科他州和南达科他州以及怀俄明州和蒙大拿州的部分地区。

Settlers, traders, and miners came to the territory. Many of the settlers lived in simple houses made of blocks of sod (ground). There was no wood on the prairie to build with.

定居者、商人和矿工来到了这片土地。许多定居者住在由土坯制成的简易房子里。草原上没有木头可以建木屋。

Sioux leader Red Cloud tried to slow white expansion by attacking forts. Sioux leaders eventually decided to sell the U.S. government much of their land east of the Missouri River in the Dakota Territory. They kept some land for themselves.

苏族领袖红云试图通过攻击堡垒来减缓白人扩张。苏族领导人最终决定向美国政府出售在达科他州密苏里河以东的大部分土地。他们为自己保留了一些土地。

In 1874, gold was discovered on sacred Sioux territory in the Black Hills. Miners flooded into the area. The Sioux lost their sacred ground.

1874年，在黑山神圣的苏族领土上发现了黄金。矿工们涌入了该地区。苏族人失去了他们的圣地。

Today, gold is still important to South Dakota¡¯s economy. Much of the gold mined in the United States comes from the Homestake Mine in the Black Hills.

今天，黄金对南达科他州的经济仍然很重要。美国开采的大部分黄金来自黑山的Homestake矿。

STATEHOOD

建国

By the 1880s, people in the Dakota Territory began to talk about statehood. Dakotans decided to create two states. On November 2, 1889, South Dakota and North Dakota entered the Union. Officials tossed a coin to see which state would enter first. North Dakota became the 39th state and South Dakota the 40th.

到了19世纪80年代，达科他州的人们开始谈论州地位。达科他州决定建立两个州。1889年11月2日，南达科他州和北达科他州加入联盟。官员们掷硬币，看哪个州会先进入。北达科他州成为第39个州，南达科他州成为第40个州。

Pierre was made the capital of South Dakota. This city on the Missouri River is named for fur trader Pierre Chouteau. He established a large trading post there in the 1840s. Today, Sioux Falls is the largest city in South Dakota. It is located on the Big Sioux River in southeastern South Dakota, near the border with Minnesota and Iowa.

皮埃尔是南达科他州的首府。密苏里河上的这个城市以毛皮商人皮埃尔·乔托的名字命名。他在19世纪40年代在那里建立了一个大型贸易点。如今，苏福尔斯是南达科他州最大的城市。它位于南达科他州东南部的大苏河上，靠近明尼苏达州和爱荷华州的边界。

WOUNDED KNEE

The year after South Dakota entered the Union, a last major battle was fought in the state between the Sioux and the U.S. Army. On December 15, 1890, the U.S government tried to arrest Sioux chief Sitting Bull. The government was afraid of a Sioux uprising.

南达科他州加入联盟后的一年，苏族和美国陆军在该州进行了最后一场重大战役。1890年12月15日，美国政府试图逮捕苏族首领Sitting Bull。政府害怕苏族起义。

Sitting Bull was killed during the arrest. His people fled and were pursued by the U.S Army to Wounded Knee Creek in southwestern South Dakota. On December 29, 1890, soldiers killed between 150 and 370 Sioux. The conflict became known as the Wounded Knee Massacre.

首领在被捕时被杀了。他的人民逃走了，被美国陆军追到南达科他州西南部Wounded Knee Creek。1890年12月29日，士兵杀害了150至370苏族人。这场冲突被称为"Wounded Knee 大屠杀"。

On February 27, 1973, a group of Native Americans seized the town of Wounded Knee. They wished to bring attention to the problems of Native Americans. The group held the town for 71 days.

她语出惊人：中国有个“2000年灭美计划”

作者：耿直哥

近日，美国南达科他州的州长克里斯蒂·诺姆(Kristi Noem)在接受美国福克斯新闻网采访时，抛出了一番令美国和中国网民都大为震惊的言论。

因为她宣称，中国为了灭亡美国，竟然有一个持续了两千个年头的计划。

如此算来，那么从汉代开始，中国就已经盘算着要灭亡美国了……

如下图所示，诺姆是在3月12日接受福克斯新闻网采访时，抛出的这一惊人言论的。

当时，她先和福克斯新闻网的主持人一唱一和地炒作着中国威胁论，说什么中国正在准备通过大规模购买美国的农田来监控美国和美军的军事基地。她还表示不会让这样的情况发生在南达科他州。

随后，这位疑似患上了严重的“中国妄想症”的美国州长，便抛出了她的那番惊人言论：“他们（中国）拥有一个两千年的计划，去摧毁（美国）这个国家”。（注：英文原话为：“they are…have a 2000-year-plan to destroy this country”）

结果，她的这番言论很快引起了美国和中国两国网民的集体吐槽。毕竟，按照她的说法来算的话，那么中国早在汉朝——同时西方还处在罗马帝国时期的时候，就已经在盘算着毁灭美国了。

因此，有网民就讽刺说，看来当年刘关张桃园三结义，是为了摧毁美国。

有网民则充满讽刺意味地向诺姆询问说：诺姆州长，你能不能把你提到的那个计划内容分享给出来看看啊？我甚至愿意专门去南达科他州参观一下这个惊人的文件。你是读的中文的原稿吗？

有网民还惊呼说：中国人太牛了，居然在2000年前就预见了美国的诞生。

但也有网民无奈地表示：诺姆来自的南达科他州可能是中国最没有兴趣控制的地方了。

目前，没有在诺姆的官网和社交账号看到她回应此事。采访她的美国福克斯新闻网也并没有就此事给出任何回应。
