Manifest Destiny怎么翻译?
郭: The Chinese workers situation is very much like that of labor that was required and needed because it’s cheap, faithful, diligent, and yet unacknowledged. I mean, but only acknowledged as a social inconvenience on the great society that the Manifest Destiny was producing as America came westward. So this led to exclusion activities which came to a head on the US mainland in 1882, but in Hawaii also in the same decade, there were exclusivist activities, and regulations that kept the Chinese, blamed as exclusivist group, and treated as a exclusivist group. So, in this sense, the Chinese sugar connection, in terms of sugar, is one of much needed labor, and yet resented as a social group. So it ‘s the story of the Americanization, of industry of society, of Hawaii.

郭: 中国工人的情况非常像这种所需的劳力,因为廉价、忠实、勤劳和尚未得到认可。我的意思是,Manifest Destiny被视为美国的西进活动。所以这形成了1882年美国大陆的排外活动,但同时期的夏威夷也有排外活动,不过中国人被指责为并被当成排外团体。所以某种意义上,中国糖业的联系,关于糖业,中国人是所需劳动力的一部分,并被仇视为社会集团。所以这是美国化,工业化和夏威夷的故事。

Chinese translation:美国天命论
Explanation:
昭昭天命(Manifest Destiny,又译天命论、天命观、天命昭彰、昭彰天命、天定命运论、美国天命论、天赋使命观、上帝所命、神授天命、命定扩张论、昭示的命运、天赋命运),为惯用措词,表达美国凭藉天命,对外扩张,散播民主自由的信念。昭昭天命的拥护者们认为美国在领土和影响力上的扩张不仅明显(Manifest ),且本诸不可违逆之天数(Destiny)。昭昭天命最初为十九世纪时的政治警句(catch phrase),后来成为标准的历史名辞,意义通常等于美国横贯北美洲,直达太平洋的领土扩张。
