贝克敦是个小煤城,大部分居民世世代代都在镇上的贝克煤矿做矿工,住的是统一的公司宿舍。斯拉夫裔居民住在波兰坡上,意大利人后裔住在坡下的小意大利村里。男人做长白班或者长夜班,工资说得过去,可中年之后就会有严重的风湿性关节炎和肺病。女人如果不做家庭主妇,就只能到镇上的被服厂打工。长时间坐着,腰慢慢变粗,屁股变大,眼镜越来越厚。没有几年就变成她们小时候鄙视的蠢妇。 Beckettown is a small coal town, with most residents living in the town’s coal miner Baker and living in a unified corporate dorm. Slavic inhabitants live on the slopes of Poland, Italian descent living in the small Italian village under the slope. Men do Changbai shift or night shift, the salary goes by, can have severe rheumatoid arthritis and lung disease after middle age. If women do not housewives, they can only go to the town clothes factory work. Sitting for a long time, waist slowly thicker, buttocks larger, more and more thick glasses. Within a few years, they become the idiot they despised when they were young.
