So, the Acadians began to learn English.

于是，阿卡迪亚人开始学习英语。

When the Americans arrived in Louisiana, they changed the name of the Acadians.

当美国人到达路易斯安那州时，他们改变了阿卡迪亚人的名字。

Soon, the Acadians had to deal with and do business with not French-speaking inhabitants, but English-speaking inhabitants.

很快，阿卡迪亚人不得不与讲英语的居民而不是讲法语的居民打交道和做生意。

The Acadians weren't very happy with this new arrangement.

阿卡迪亚人对这个新安排不是很满意。

The Acadians then developed their own culture separate from the culture of the other areas in Louisiana, including New Orleans.

然后，阿卡迪亚人发展了自己的文化，与路易斯安那州其他地区（包括新奥尔良）的文化区分开来。

The people who moved to this area called Acadia were called " Acadians."

搬到这个叫做阿卡迪亚的地区的人被称为“阿卡迪亚人” 。

Many people who lived in New Orleans and in Louisiana at that time didn't like the Acadians moving there.

许多当时住在新奥尔良和路易斯安那州的人不喜欢阿卡迪亚人搬到那里。

You would think then that the Acadians who were also of French descent would be welcomed there, but they weren't.

那时你会认为同样具有法国血统的阿卡迪亚人会在那里受到欢迎，但事实并非如此。

And, one of the perhaps lesser known outcomes of the war was the systematic deportation of the French Acadians from Maine to Louisiana where they became Cajuns.

而且，战争的一个可能鲜为人知的结果是法国阿卡迪亚人被系统地从缅因州驱逐到路易斯安那州， 在那里他们成为了卡津人。

Some of the Acadians who had returned to France many years ago prior to this also came to Louisiana, and there began an Acadian community in Louisiana.

在此之前许多年前返回法国的一些阿卡迪亚人也来到了路易斯安那州，并在路易斯安那州开始了一个阿卡迪亚社区。

So, the British, who also of course owned the American colonies – what became eventually the United States – went to Acadia and asked the Acadians to pledge allegiance to Britain.

因此，当然也拥有美国殖民地（最终成为美国）的英国人前往阿卡迪亚， 要求阿卡迪亚人宣誓效忠英国。

So, the Acadians, seeing that they were not welcomed by the French in New Orleans, moved to an area west of New Orleans and built their own communities.

于是，阿卡迪亚人见在新奥尔良不受法国人的欢迎，便搬到新奥尔良以西的一个地区， 建立了自己的社区。

" To pledge allegiance" means to say, " I will be loyal to" – " I will follow and be subject to Great Britain." However, many Acadians refused to pledge allegiance, because they considered themselves – quite rightly, I think – to be French.

“宣誓效忠” 的意思是说，“我将忠于” ——“我将追随并服从大不列颠。 ” 然而，许多阿卡迪亚人拒绝宣誓效忠，因为他们认为自己——我认为这是非常正确的——是法国人。
