原文及翻譯
Many of the Indians in these areas lived in large settlements where the houses were made from stone or dry mud. The people were experts at weaving and they made clothing and blankets that had beautiful artistic designs. Near the eastern coast of North America, many Indians lived by a combination of farming and hunting.
這些地區(qū)的許多印第安人居住在大型定居點,房屋由石頭或干泥土建造。人們擅長編織,他們制作的衣服和毯子具有精美的藝術(shù)設(shè)計。在北美東海岸附近,許多印第安人靠耕種和狩獵為生。
These people lived in fortified villages, some of which were inhabited for many years at a time. In some places, they built large earthworks that can still be seen today. In the forests of northern Canada, the Indians live primarily by hunting, fishing, and gathering. Like the Indians of the prairie regions, they often move from place to place in search of game animals to hunt.
這些人住在設(shè)防的村莊里,其中一些村莊一次居住多年。在一些地方,他們建造了至今仍可見的大型土方工程。在加拿大北部的森林中,印第安人主要靠狩獵、捕魚和采集為生。像草原地區(qū)的印第安人一樣,他們經(jīng)常從一個地方搬到另一個地方尋找獵物。
Today, the Indians of North America no longer live in their traditional ways; however, several Indian languages are still spoken by many thousands of people. Also, many Indians in the United States and Canada are very interested in maintaining the cultural tradition of their ancestors.
今天,北美印第安人不再過著傳統(tǒng)的生活;然而,仍有成千上萬的人使用幾種印第安語言。此外,美國和加拿大的許多印第安人非常有興趣維護他們祖先的文化傳統(tǒng)。
