well certainly white flight to the suburbs happened very dramatically after civil rights actually especially after busing
白人向郊區大遷移的情況在黑人乘車權等權利得到維護后 發生得尤為頻繁
to achieve racial integration in schools
以避免學校中各人種的融合 (維護白人優越性)
so that happened in 1970s and 1980s to a very large degree
這主要發生在20實際70和80年代
now actually you're getting black flight
而現在相反的出現了黑人大遷移
places like Compton and Watts in Los Angeles
在洛杉磯縣的康普頓和瓦特
they are losing black population gaining Hispanic population
正在經受黑人的移出 同時有西班牙裔移入
and a lot of the African Americans are moving to places like Lancaster on the High Desert Area
而這些黑人很多都選擇移居到高原沙漠區的蘭卡斯特等地
and you've had a lot of black suburbanization in places like the DeKalb County near Atlanta
同時在亞特蘭大附近的迪卡布爾縣等地 以及馬里蘭州的喬治王子縣等地
Prince George's County in Maryland
也出現了黑人在郊區的大量聚集
yes you're having sort of that as well
現在的確有很多這類的變化
so yes that's certainly part of it
這是人口變化的結果
some cities have stabilized and are now growing again
有些過去以及穩定下來的城市 現在又進入到發展壯大的狀態
others just continue to decline
而其他城市則繼續衰落
Detroit it's gone from 1.6 million to 800,000
如底特律人口從160萬下降到80萬
its former mayor now in prison
它的前任市長現在身陷囹圄
there have been a lot of efforts to revive Detroit
人們曾經想方設法地振興底特律
it's hard to imagine how much it's going to revive
很難想象它到底能有多大程度的恢復
I'm not too hopeful about that
我對此不抱多大希望
yes
請提問
yes so the comment is places like some of the inner suburbs in Detroit that had been industrial blue-collar working class white suburbs
好的 他說的是在一些地方 如底特律的內城郊區 過去住的是藍領階層 以白人為主
now more African American
現在則變成以黑人為主
and then so you sort of get this chain movement in the sort of continuing flight out to the newer suburban fringe
這就形成了連鎖反應 人們不停地往城市外部遷移 到更遠的城郊區域
a lot of this movement depends on cheap gasoline for commuting patterns
這種遷移建立于汽油較為便宜 為他們提供廉價交通的基礎上
and with gasoline more expensive it becomes somewhat more difficult
隨著油價越來越貴 這種遷移的難度也隨著增加
but then I guess the question of mass transit comes in
不過我想接下來大眾運輸將會成為一個問題
yes absolutely right that's been a big factor
對你說的沒錯 這的確是個問題
