Hell’s Kitchen 地狱厨房

Made famous, most recently, by Martin Scorcese’s movie, “The Gangs of New York”, Hell’s Kitchen is an area of New York City with a rich and notorious history.

就在最近，马丁·斯科塞斯的电影《纽约黑帮》使这一说法闻名于世。“地狱厨房”是指纽约市中拥有悠久和骇人听闻历史的一个区域。

In the 19th Century it became a major industrial centre and home to over 350,000 immigrants, mostly from famine ravished Ireland. The residents lived in hastily erected tenement buildings in between factories and slaughterhouses.

19世纪，这个地方成为一个主要的工业中心并且吸纳了35万移民在此聚居，其中的大部分人都是为了躲避爱尔兰大饥荒而迁徙至此的。这些居民的住所就是在工厂和屠宰场之间仓促修建起来的廉价公寓楼。

In 1863 the area was the scene of a three-day riot in protest of the Civil War Conscription Act. There are no reliable figures for how many died during the riots but it was certainly in the thousands. The aftermath saw countless homeless children roaming the streets of. These street urchins soon formed into gangs and by the end of the 19th Century Hell’s Kitchen became the crime capital of the U.S.

在1863年，这个地方发生了一次为期3天的大暴动，抗议《内战征召法案》的实行。虽然暴动的死亡人数没有确切数字，但肯定是造成了数千人死 亡。暴动的结果是，有无数儿童无家可归，流落接头。这些街头流浪儿不久就结成了团伙，在19世纪末，“地狱厨房”地区成为美国的犯罪中心。

The name Hell’s Kitchen refers to the area between 39th and 59th streets, and from 8th Avenue to the Hudson River. The origin of the term is ⑥attributed to a conversation between two policemen. While observing a small riot on 39th street the younger of the two said, ‘This place is hell itself’, to which the older policeman replied, ‘Hell’s a mild climate. This is Hell’s Kitchen’!

“地域厨房”指的是夹在39街与59街之间、从第8大道延伸到哈得逊河的整个区域。这个词源于两个警察的对话。当他们看到39街发生小规模骚乱时，那个年轻的警察说：“这个地方就是地狱”，那个年长的警察回答道：“地狱的气氛比这里温和。这里简直就是地狱的厨房”！
