问题    然而,或是因为中国人与其他人太不一样,或是因为他们工作起来很有耐心,他们能成功地把表面看来毫无价值的开采地(mining claim)变为有利可图的东西,这使他们成为爱嫉妒的竞争者们的眼中钉。他们受到了多种形式的骚扰。经常阻止他们在开采地上开矿;一些地区甚至通过了禁止他们拥有开采地的桌例。因此,中国人开始艰难地寻找其他的谋生途径。他们中的一些人开始为开矿的白种人洗衣服;其他一些人则开小饭馆。

选项

答案    However, either because the Chinese were so different from the others or because they worked so patiently that they succeeded in turning a seemingly worthless mining claim into a profitable one, they became an eyesoar of their envious competitors. They were harassed in many ways; Often they were prevented from working on their claims; some localities even passed regulations forbidding them to own claims. The Chinese therefore started to seek out other ways of earning a living. Some of them began to do the laundry for the white miners and others set up small restaurants.
