“This had once been a country wide open for immigration. Of course, the assumption was that only the right sorts of people, mainly Protestants from northern Europe, would be coming. The Irish, in the 1840s, tested this assumption and met with ferocious hostility in some quarters. More was to come.
Labor resented any influx of foreign workers. Protestants worried about Catholic, Jewish, and Orthodox im-migrants, and their threat to real Americans and real American culture.
Ultimately, in 1924, Congress passed a stringent and racist immigration law, a law that tried to lock in old American values and lock out the new-comers.”
第三版：
「起初，這是一個歡迎移民的國家，但在這段時期結束時，美國國會已通過了排斥華人的法律，並且對移民要求接受讀寫能力測驗；外籍勞工成為重要議題；最後，在1924年，美國採取了配額制度，對移民數額做出限制，並管制什麼人才可以進入美國。」

沒想到他這麼認真的改寫欸，之前第二部分發現中英版本差了一個案例的時候，還以為只差一點點。但看來他是整本書重新editing 了
我發現看英文的問題就是我的 span of attention 很小，就很容易分心XD
大概是因為我現在看英文都在雜誌或新聞報導的長度，要看長一點的，超過30分鐘就開始分心。
難道這就是心魔XDDDD
以至於我一章沒看完就已經喝水上廁所之類的好幾次了XDDDD
沒志氣每次都拖到最後才看實在是無法精進英文閱讀速度啊平均一天要看57頁
今天應該要看到第四章但只看到第二章XD
看英文好慢啊XD
明天後天各看三章，禮拜五看一章，剛好趕上讀書會
每天都在重新訂目標XD
