Well, my dad was a farmer.
我父亲是个农民
Like everybody else back then.
那时候的人差不多都是农民
Of course, he didn't start that way.
当然他不是一开始就是
The wheat had died.
麦子都死了
The blight came and we had to burn it.
全都病死了 只能烧掉
And we still had corn. We had acres of corn.
只剩下了几亩地的玉米
But, huh...mostly we had dust.
还有 漫天的沙尘暴
I guess I can't describe it. It was just constant.
那场面无法描述 一直持续不断
Just that steady blow of dirt.
没完没了地刮着尘土
We wore... little strips of sheet.
我们只能在鼻子和嘴上
But sometimes over our nose and mouth...
遮上一块布条
So we wouldn't breathe so much of it.
这样才不会让更多的尘土吸进身体里
