With its wide avenues lined with tall palm trees, its quaint(古雅的,别致的) cafes and old-school cantina(小酒馆,酒吧)s, as well as the mix of English and Spanish spoken on the street, the Tabacalera neighborhood in downtown Mexico City has a certain US feel – so much so that(到如此程度以至于) it is has become known as Little LA.
塔巴卡莱拉社区位于墨西哥城市中心,宽阔的大道两旁种着高大的棕榈树,古雅的咖啡馆和老式小酒馆随处可见,街上人们说着英语和西班牙语的混合语言,这一切都让这里带有一种美国风情——以至于它被称为“小洛杉矶”。
The nickname is about more than appearances, however. In recent years, this corner of the metropolis has become a haven for many Mexicans deported from the US, particularly those who spent years or decades living across the border and for whom Mexico feels like a foreign country.(近年来,这座大都市的这个角落已成为许多被美国驱逐的墨西哥人的避风港,尤其是那些在边境对面生活了数年或数十年、觉得墨西哥像外国的人。) In Little LA, they have found a more familiar place to belong.
然而,这个绰号不仅仅关乎外表。近年来,这座大都市的这个角落已成为许多被美国驱逐的墨西哥人的避风港,尤其是那些在边境对面生活了数年或数十年、觉得墨西哥像外国的人。在小洛杉矶,他们找到了一个更熟悉的家园。
With the Trump administration embarking on a massive anti-immigrant crackdown(打击,镇压), deportations to Mexico are expected to surge(激增,急剧上升). Since taking office(就职,上任) for the second time in January 2025, Trump has deported roughly 145,500 Mexican nationals.
随着特朗普政府发起大规模反移民打击行动,预计被驱逐到墨西哥的人数将激增。自2025年1月第二次就职以来,特朗普已驱逐了约14.55万名墨西哥公民。
