来自纳瓦霍发电站的峡谷烟雾  
Canyon smog from Navajo Generating Station

奥拉为此感到痛苦。在我们见面后,我们才发现了佩吉在纳瓦霍保护区的燃煤发电站,它是西部最大的发电商,也是纳瓦霍人最大的雇主。
Aura is in pain with this. It’s only after we met that we discovered the coal powered generating station in Navajo reservation by Page that is the biggest power producer in the west is also the biggest Navajo employer.

是的。我们还发现拥有这家工厂的盐河项目将关闭它,因为天然气比煤炭便宜得多。你可能认为这会让奥拉好过一些,但天然气厂在凤凰城,这意味着任何希望继续为他们工作的纳瓦霍人或霍皮人大部分时间将不得不住在保护区以外的地方。奥拉讨厌污染,但同情那些印第安人。具有讽刺意味的是,无论电力是如何产生的,它都被用来将河水引到菲尼克斯和图森。她反对破坏自然环境。由于她住在一个有一口井的公共农场,你会认为她不会在意,因为她没有过错,除了,她是奥拉。把水引到城市似乎是不可避免的,但真正让她生气的是印第安人放弃了,在保护区开了赌场,这样他们中的一些人可以留在那里工作。这就像他们放弃了大自然,而让定居者得到水,现在他们不得不换一种不同的侵害方式来避免搬迁。
Yeah. And we also found out the Salt River Project that owns the plant is going to close it because natural gas is way cheaper than coal. You’d think that would make Aura’s day, except that the gas plant is in Phoenix, which means that any Navajo or Hopi that hopes to keep working for them is going to have to live off the reservation most of the time. Aura hates pollution, but sympathizes with the Indians. The irony is that no matter how the power gets produced, it’s used to divert water from the River to Phoenix and Tucson. And she objects to disrupting the natural environment. Since she lives on a communal ranch with a well, you’d think she wouldn’t care since she’s not to blame, except, she’s Aura. - Moving the water to the cities seems unavoidable but what gets her really ticked off is the Indians giving up and letting a casino on the reservation so some of them can stay there and work there.. It’s like they gave up nature for the settlers to get water, and now they have to switch to a different intrusion to not have to move.

如果他们能在几十年的时间能从保护区的发电项目中获得更多的钱,他们可能就不会如此艰难了。在欧洲人出现之前,他们可能也这么穷,但至少他们当时的想法不一样,可能是因为他们至少是自给自足的。
If they’d gotten more than pennies on the dollar for power produced on the res for decades, they might not be so hard up. They may have been as hard up before the Europeans showed up, but at least they didn’t see themselves that way before, probably because they were self sufficient at least.

不过他们有很多不动产。
They’ve got one heck of a lot of real estate though.

我说的是金钱买不到的东西。就像你需要像科罗纳多一样到处游走。让你停下来,别人会付给你多少钱?我呢,则需要去画画。
I’m talking about things money can’t buy. Like you needing to parade around like Coronado. How much would somebody have to pay you to stop. Or me needing to paint.
