Once, Communist intellectuals had theorized about producing a new soviet man or "homo Sovieticus"
共產(chǎn)主義知識分子還曾提出理論造就一種新蘇維埃人，即“蘇維埃人”的理論
a happy, hard-working soul bred and reared to serve as a cog in the Soviet state.
培養(yǎng)出一種快樂，刻苦工作的人成為蘇維埃國家中的小齒輪
Although the concept of homo sovieticus was pushed so hard that it was taught in all Soviet medical schools, it was a joke.
盡管蘇維埃人種的概念被大力推行進入所有蘇維埃醫(yī)學(xué)院的教學(xué)內(nèi)容，事實上卻是個笑話
Living standards in the cities remained poor,
城市生活水平仍然很低
and in the countryside they remained wretched — even after Khrushchev and Brezhnev made consumer goods approvements.
而農(nóng)村地區(qū)的民眾生活很悲慘，即便是赫魯曉夫和勃列日涅夫?qū)οM品的改善也無濟于事
The proletarians appointed by Lenin to hold their dictatorship actually lived in cramped, miserable apartments and toiled long hours at ill-paid jobs.
列寧任命來維持獨裁統(tǒng)治的無產(chǎn)階級事實上住在狹窄凄慘的公寓里，長時間的苦作只能換來微薄的薪水
What dreams they still had were for things even poorer Westerners generally possessed:
他們所夢想得到的，甚至是貧窮的西方人一般也都擁有
radios and refrigerators, and perhaps someday a cheap little car like the 1962 Moskvich.
收音機和冰箱，可能再來輛便宜車，比如1962年產(chǎn)的莫斯科人牌汽車
In general Soviet city dwellers would have settled for stores stocked with good food, decent consumer goods, and no lines.
在一般的蘇維埃城市里居民定居下來是因為這里有堆滿食物的商店像樣的消費品，不用排隊
The peasants were worse off yet. Forced by Stalin into huge collective farms run by the communist party, they were expected to feed the Soviet Union.
農(nóng)民的生活卻還很糟糕，在斯大林的逼迫下他們不得不進入共產(chǎn)黨辦的集體農(nóng)場里，辛勤勞作來養(yǎng)活蘇聯(lián)
