They powered up the city with hydro-electric juice[00:00:24]

他们让这座城市充满动力[00:00:30]

Now we got more electricity we can ever use[00:00:30]

现在我们有了更多可以使用的电力[00:00:38]

They flooded out the hollow and all the folks down there moved out[00:00:38]

他们从山谷里涌出来所有人都搬走了[00:00:45]

But they got paid so there ain't nothin' else to think about[00:00:45]

但是他们得到了报酬，所以没有什么可考虑的。[00:01:05]

Some of them made their living cutting the timber down[00:01:05]

有些人靠着砍伐树木谋生[00:01:12]

Snaking it one log at a time up the hill and into town[00:01:12]

一根一根地爬上山进城[00:01:19]

T V A had a way to clear it off real fast[00:01:19]

亚特兰大有办法快速解决问题[00:01:25]

Lots of men and machinery build a dam and drown the rest[00:01:25]

许多人和机械筑起大坝将其他人淹没[00:02:02]

Uncle Frank lived down the park down on Cedar Creek[00:02:02]

弗兰克叔叔住在松湾镇的公园里[00:02:09]

Bought fifteen acres when he got back home from overseas[00:02:09]

他从海外回来时买了十五英亩地[00:02:17]

Fifteen rocky acres figured no one else would want[00:02:17]

十五英亩多岩石的土地我想其他人都不想要[00:02:24]

Till all that backed up water had to have some place to go[00:02:24]

直到所有的阻碍无处可去[00:02:32]

Uncle Frank couldn't read or write[00:02:32]

弗兰克叔叔不识字[00:02:39]

Never held down a job or needed one in his life[00:02:39]

他从来没有做过什么工作也不需要什么工作[00:02:47]

They assured him there'd be work for him in town building cars[00:02:47]

他们向他保证城里会有适合他的工作制造汽车[00:02:56]

It's already going down[00:02:56]

已经无法挽回[00:03:54]

The cars never came to town and the roads never got built[00:03:54]

汽车从未进城道路从未修通[00:04:00]

And the price of all that power kept on going straight uphill[00:04:00]

权力的代价一路飙升[00:04:07]

And banks around the hollow sold for lake-front property[00:04:07]

山谷附近的银行都被出售给湖边的房产[00:04:14]

Where doctors lawyers and musicians teach their kids to water ski[00:04:14]

Uncle Frank couldn't read or write[00:04:28]

So there was no note or letter found where he died[00:04:35]

所以没有找到他死亡的地方[00:04:41]

Just a rope around his neck[00:04:41]

他脖子上的绳子[00:04:44]

And the kitchen table turned on it's side[00:04:44]

餐桌翻到了一边[00:04:49]
