美国商业大亨传奇：拓荒者（2018）

为了不再输给白人
to stop losing ground to the whites.
深入肯塔基的荒野
Deep in the Kentucky wilderness..
肖尼族主战派绑♥架♥了3名博恩斯布罗附近的年轻女子
...a Shawnee war party abducts three young women near Boonesborough.
包括丹尼尔·布恩的十四岁女儿
Among them is Daniel Boone's 14-year-old daughter..
杰迈玛
...Jemima.
你们三个，跟着我
You three, with me.
准备好武器，保持警惕，守住围墙
Ready your weapons and stay alert. Man the wall.
随着美国人越过阿巴拉契亚山脉扩张
As Americans expand beyond the Appalachians
可以理解的是，冲突将会在原住民和拓荒者之间爆发
understandably, conflict is gonna erupt between the Native Americans and these frontiersmen
这些拓荒者入侵了他们的土地
who have intruded upon their lands.
警告很明显
The warning is clear.
没有任何一个踏上肖尼族土地的外人是安全的
No outsider who sets foot on Shawnee land is safe.
但杰迈玛·布恩是具备独特的生存能力
But Jemima Boone is uniquely equipped to survive.
现在，布恩的女儿开始
Now, Boone's daughter starts
从她的围裙和裙子上撕下一小块布料
tearing little bits of fabric from her apron or dress
并沿路留下这些布料
and leaving along a trail.
所以，某人遭到了绑♥架♥
So, here's someone, she's getting abducted
她知道她将会被带到遥远的印第安村落
and she knows that she's gonna be taken to these distant Indian villages
可能遭到折磨并被杀害
and possibly tortured and killed
但她很镇静
and she has the presence of mind
一路上留下了她们走过的痕迹
to be leaving evidence of their passage along the way.
我们直到黄昏都保持距离
'We keep our distance till nightfall.'
来吧
Come on.
散开
Spread out.
来啊！
Come on!
小心树木
'Watch the tree line.'
你没事吧？
Are you alright?
过来
Come here.
杰迈玛被绑♥架♥的故事迅速传播开来
The story of the abduction of Jemima went, as we would say, viral.
丹尼尔·布恩所做的一切几乎都提升了他的声誉
Almost everything Daniel Boone did burnished his reputation.
他是那种故事都围绕着他的人物
He was the kind of figure around whom stories collect.
来吧，来吧
Come on, come on.
人们会觉得
People felt, how dumb
你绑♥架♥丹尼尔·布恩的女儿，真是太蠢了
could you be to kidnap the daughter of Daniel Boone.
杰迈玛的故事
The Jemima story fits in
与当时许多年轻女性被印第安人抓住的故事相一致
with many stories of young women getting captured by Native Americans at the time.
这种巨大的恐惧和忧虑
This, this was a kind of great fear and anxiety
在每个殖民地蔓延开来
that just proliferated throughout every single colony.
“多亏了丹尼尔·布恩的英勇行为，我们才把她救了回来”的想法
The idea that "We got her back thanks to Daniel Boone's heroism"
会是一种让女性走出去的保证
is the kind of reassurance for women to go out there who would
她们当然会成为任何社会不可或缺的组成部分
of course, be part of the essential building blocks of any society
那真的很重要
and that was really important.
在布恩回到博恩斯布罗的几周内
Within weeks of Boone's return home to Boonesborough
殖民地将过去的叛乱
the colonies move past rebellion..
变成了革命
...to revolution.
在有关人类事务的发展过程中
'"When in the course of human events'

"it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands
另一个民族的政♥治♥联♥系♥
'which have connected them with another."'
1776年7月

殖民地宣告独♥立♥
the colonies declare independence.
其中包括生命权、自♥由♥权
'"That among these, are life, liberty'

and the pursuit of happiness."
美♥利♥坚♥合众国诞生了
And the United States of America is born.
它建立在自♥由♥和自力更生的价值观之上
It's built on the ideals of freedom and self-reliance..
这是由拓荒者所代表的

一个月内，独♥立♥宣言的复印件
Within a month, copies of the Declaration of Independence
到达了遥远的前哨站，比如博恩斯布罗
reach remote outposts, like Boonesborough.
当丹尼尔·布恩得知独♥立♥宣言的消息时
When Daniel Boone gets word of the Declaration of Independence
他一定在某种程度上意识到了
he had to be aware that in some sense
他是独♥立♥运动前线的先锋
he was on the advance guard the front edge of the movement for independence.
丹尼尔·布恩明白
Daniel Boone understood that liberty
自♥由♥就是自♥由♥地做他一直在做的事情
was the freedom to do exactly what he had been doing
穿越西部，养家糊口
to traverse the West, to provide for his family
过一种不受独♥裁♥统治的生活
to have a life independent of some dictatorial power.
殖民地居民知道独♥立♥的代价是战争
The colonists know the price of independence is war.

1776年11月，英国人拿下纽约

然后追击大♥陆♥军进入宾夕法尼亚

对于美国的事业来说，事态变得非常糟糕
Things were going very badly for the American cause.
英国加入了战争
Great Britain entered the war
相信他们可以轻易镇♥压♥我们
believing that they could easily suppress us
因为此时
because at this point
美国♥军♥队规模很小
the United States military was small
将领也不是非常有经验
and generally not very efficient.
而英国是世界上最为强大的帝国
And the British are the most powerful empire in the world.
他们有着最强大的军队

训练有素，组织良好

随着大♥陆♥军的移♥动♥

英国人设计好了一个新的陷阱
the British devise a new trap.
他们将在战争中打开西部前线
They'll open a western front in the war
通过攻击定居点，例如博恩斯布罗

他们的策略依靠不太可能的盟友
Their strategy relies on unlikely allies.
把这当成礼物吧
Consider them a gift.
在独♥立♥战争期间，英国人与原住民结盟
The British allied with the Native Americans during the Revolutionary War
因为原住民盟友作为一支作战力量
because the native allies were useful
在侦察和提供信息方面是很有用的
in terms of scouting, providing information simply as a fighting force.
肖尼人与进入他们土地的白人移♥民♥有冲突
Shawnees had conflict with white settlers coming into their land
所以他们和英国人并肩作战
so they were fighting this war alongside the British.
1777年，英国开始武装肖尼族
In 1777, Britain starts arming the Shawnee
和其他土著部落来对抗移♥民♥
and other Native American tribes to fight the settlers.
作为交换，他们承诺归还原住民的土地
In exchange, they promised to return native lands.
这些原住民

英国人许诺以土地为回报

现在肖尼人

正在冲突的边缘
are on a collision course..
这将会决定这个新生国家的未来

是开启西部战线战略的一部分
in the Revolutionary War.
英国人在革命时期

武装印第安部落去攻击定居点
they were arming Indian tribes to attack settlements.
他们答应印第安人
They promised the Indians
一旦他们把移♥民♥驱赶出肯塔基
that once they drove the settlers out of Kentucky
他们就能够恢复他们的领土
they could recover their territory.
英国随后能从西部攻击这些殖民地

这是他们镇♥压♥叛乱计划的一部分
That was part of their plan to put down this rebellion.
在博恩斯布罗
In Boonesborough
丹尼尔·布恩对即将到来的危险一无所知
Daniel Boone has no idea of the coming danger.
定居点有别的问题
And the settlement has a different problem.
他们的盐分正在危险地减少
They're running dangerously low on salt.
盐是如此的重要
Salt was so important
对于博恩斯布罗的定居者来说
to the settlers at Boonesborough.
人们的饮食几乎完全是游戏
The diet of the people was almost entirely game.
是被猎杀的肉
It was hunted meat.
因为印第安人频繁地攻击移♥民♥
Because Indians were attacking settlers regularly
他们尽可能待在要塞里
they stayed in that fort as much as possible.
几乎没有什么农业活动
And there was very little farming going on.
所以，盐是定居者保存肉类的唯一方式
So, salt was the only way that settlers had to preserve meat.
为了得到盐，布恩和他的24个同伴
To get salt, Boone and two dozen of his men
