On the oldtime farm in America most of the work was done by the entire farm family with the help of a hired man. 过去美国的农场，大多数工作都由整个农户在一个雇工的帮助下来完成的。
Last year Congress passed a farm bill that provides several billion dollars in relief for losses sustained that year, but those funds will not be disbursed until the autumn. 国会在去年通过的一项农业法案会对农户们当年遭受的损失补偿几十亿美元，不过补偿金要到秋季才能发放。
