原文及翻译

When the African slaves arrived in the Americas, the plantation owners made them work on farms that produced goods such as cotton and sugar. In many places, they worked very hard, and many of the slaves died from overwork. They were then replaced by other slaves who arrived from Africa. However, many slaves survived despite the brutal conditions. 

当非洲奴隶抵达美洲时，种植园主让他们在生产棉花和糖等商品的农场工作。在许多地方，他们工作非常辛苦，许多奴隶因过度劳累而死亡。然后他们被来自非洲的其他奴隶所取代。然而，尽管条件恶劣，许多奴隶还是幸存了下来。

In some places, the African slaves were able to revolt against the plantation owners, although this was difficult because the slaves who had recently arrived spoke many different languages. Some slaves escaped into wilderness areas and were able to remain free from the plantation owners. 

在一些地方，非洲奴隶能够反抗种植园主，尽管这很困难，因为刚到的奴隶说着许多不同的语言。一些奴隶逃到荒野地区，得以摆脱种植园主的束缚。

As time went by, many people in Europe and in the Americas realized that slavery was wrong. By the 1830s, slavery had been ended or abolished in islands owned by the British and in parts of the United States. 

随着时间的推移，欧洲和美洲的许多人意识到奴隶制是错误的。到 19 世纪 30 年代，奴隶制在英国拥有的岛屿和美国部分地区被终止或废除。

In the southern United States, slavery was ended in the 1860s during the Civil War. In some countries, such as Brazil and Cuba, slavery only ended in the 1880s. Today, many millions of people in North and South America are descendants of slaves who were brought from Africa. The effects of slavery have lasted for many generations, and there was much racial prejudice against African people. 

在美国南部，奴隶制在 19 世纪 60 年代的内战期间结束。在巴西和古巴等一些国家，奴隶制直到 19 世纪 80 年代才结束。如今，北美和南美有数百万人是从非洲被带到这里的奴隶的后裔。奴隶制的影响持续了许多代，人们对非洲人怀有强烈的种族偏见。

When slavery ended, however, some have achieved success despite these disadvantages. Today, the people of African background in North and South America are a very important part of the population in many countries.

然而，当奴隶制结束时，尽管存在这些不利因素，一些人还是取得了成功。如今，北美和南美的非洲裔人群是许多国家人口中非常重要的一部分。
