We picked cotton in Kern County. My father, my mother, and me.

我们在克恩县摘棉花，我爸、我妈还有我。

Maybe I'll come in September after the cotton is picked.

也许九月间收过棉花以后我能走成。

I've hoed my row and I've picked my cotton and I can do it again if I have to.

我自己锄地，自己摘棉花，而且如果需要今天还能做一些。

I've struggled for food and for money and I've weeded and hoed and picked cotton and I've even plowed until I can't stand it another minute.

我曾经为吃的用的拼命挣扎过，我拼命拔草，锄地，摘棉花，甚至扶犁耙，直到连一分钟也坚持不下去了为止。

Tested by figures of production, King Cotton had shriveled by 1860 to a petty prince in comparison, for each year the captains of industry turned out goods worth nearly twenty times all the bales of cotton picked on Southern plantations.

通过生产数据的检验，相比之下， 棉花大王到 1860 年已经缩水为一个小王子，工业巨头每年生产的商品价值几乎是南方种植园采摘的所有棉花包的 20 倍。
