You should know that the Asians built these railroads, that they were brought here, as Maxine Hong Kingston said, to “Gold Mountain” in the 1850s and 1840s, unable legally to bring their mates for eight decades.

你们应该知道，亚洲人修建了这些铁路，他们被带到这里，正如马克辛·洪·金斯顿所说，在19世纪50年代和40年代，亚洲人被带到“金山”，而且法律规定不能把他们的伴侣带到这里，时间长达八十年。
