Passage two.
短文二
The idea to study the American Indian tribe – Tarahumaras, came to James Copeland in 1984 when he discovered that very little research had been done on their language.
1984年，詹姆斯·科普蘭產生了研究美洲印第安部落塔拉烏馬拉人的想法，當時他發現對塔拉烏馬拉人的語言進行的研究很少。
He contacted the tribe member through a social worker who worked with the tribes in Mexico.
他通過一名在墨西哥為該部落工作的社會工作者聯系了部落成員。
At first, the tribe member named Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate.
一開始，這個名叫岡薩雷斯的部落成員非常不愿意合作。
He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language.
他告訴科普蘭，再多的錢也買不到他的語言。
But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras, Gonzalez agreed to help.
但在科普蘭向岡薩雷斯解釋了他的研究想要做什么，以及它將給塔拉烏馬拉家族帶來哪些好處后，岡薩雷斯同意幫忙。
He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary.
他把科普蘭帶到他的村子里，充當中間人。
Copeland says, thanks to him, the Tarahumaras understood what their mission was and started trusting us.
科普蘭說，多虧了他，塔拉烏馬拉人明白了他們的使命并開始信任我們。
Entering the world of Tarahumaras has been a laborious project for Copeland.
對科普蘭來說，進入塔拉烏馬拉的世界是一項艱苦的任務。
To reach their homeland, he must strive two and half days from Huston Taxes.
為了到達他們的家鄉，他得從德克薩斯州的休斯頓辛苦跋涉兩天半的時間。
He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribe's men can't easily get and gives the goods to them as a gesture of friendship.
他把部落的人不容易得到的東西裝進車里，作為友好的表示，并把這些東西送給了部落的人。
The Tarahumaras, who don't believe any humiliating wealth, take the food and share among themselves.
不相信任何有損尊嚴的財富的塔拉烏馬拉人，拿走了食物并互相分享。
For Copeland, the experience has not only been academically satisfying but also has enriched his life in several ways.
對科普蘭來說，這段經歷不僅在學術上很滿意，而且還在許多方面豐富了他的生活。
"I see people rejecting technology and living a very hard, traditional life, which offers me another notion about the meaning of progress in the western tradition," he says.
他說:“我看到那里的人們拒絕科技，過著艱難的傳統生活，這讓我對西方傳統中進步的意義有了另一種理解。”
"I experienced the simplicity of living in nature that I would otherwise only be able to read about.
“我體驗到了生活在大自然中的簡單，否則我就只能在書上了解這些。
I see a lot of beauty and their sense of sharing and concern for each other."
我看到了很多美好的東西，還有他們彼此分享和關心的感覺。”
