当犯罪嫌疑人被含糊地描述为“身份不明的墨西哥人”时,莱瓦斯经常被警方逮捕。

Eduardo Pagan, Historian: “From the perspective of the LAPD, Henry was a delinquent with a chip on his shoulder, largely because he was the kind of kid who would stand up for his rights.

But like many Mexican Americans of his generation Hank Leyvas refused to accept the confines of the barrio.There was a different America outside their neighborhood and Hank and others like him wanted to claim a piece for themselves.

但就像他这一代的许多墨西哥裔美国人一样,汉克·莱瓦斯拒绝接受贫民区的限制。在他们的社区之外,有一个不同的美国,汉克和其他像他一样的人想为自己争取一块。

George Sanchez, Historian: "The tensions that arose from this sort of splitting of culture, is that often parents really saw their children disappearing from them.

历史学家乔治·桑切斯(George Sanchez):“这种文化分裂所产生的紧张局势是,父母常常亲眼目睹自己的孩子从他们身边消失。

From the sanctity of the barrio, from the cultural world.

来自巴里奥的神圣,来自文化世界。

Even though physically they remained, they more often were the people that would venture into various aspects of American culture.”

历史学家爱德华多·帕甘(Eduardo Pagan):“这些孩子用英语互相交谈。

And it was an English that was punctuated by jazz phrases; "cool", "hip", "on time.” All of these kinds of things that they very clearly drew from the jazz culture during this period.”

这是一种夹杂着爵士乐短语的英语; “酷”、“时髦”、“准时”。他们非常清楚地从这一时期的爵士文化中汲取了所有这些东西。”

“…he didn't want to wrinkle the coat or nothing.”

“……他不想让外套起皱或者什么都不想。”

Eduardo Pagan, Historian: “As soon as they would get out of the house they would beeline straight down to Central Avenue where a lot of jazz clubs were.

历史学家爱德华多·帕根 (Eduardo Pagan):“他们一走出家门,就会直奔中央大街,那里有很多爵士俱乐部。

And they would go there to listen to jazz artists, and to dance the swing.

And all of these things that their Mexican parents would probably not have approved of.

所有这些事情他们的墨西哥父母可能不会批准。

And they found ways of sneaking around.

他们找到了偷偷摸摸的方法。

And in fact, wearing the zoot suit, I would say, was part of that.”

Lupe Leyvas,修女:“很多时候我都把裙子穿在膝盖以上,直到拐角处,然后我会把它卷起来,这样裙子就会很短。

Then coming back from school, we'd just pull them down.”

然后从学校回来,我们就把它们拉下来。”

"The boys wore their pants very wide at the knee...They were always to be 40 inches at the knees, and 10 to 11 inches at the cuff, so they were very ballooned out, very high wasted.”

“男孩们穿的裤子膝盖处很宽……膝盖处总是 40 英寸,袖口处 10 到 11 英寸,所以它们非常膨胀,非常浪费。”

许多洛杉矶白人因他们自信的存在而感到威胁。

To them, any Mexican kid in a zoot suit was a potential pachuco…

对他们来说,任何穿着佐特服的墨西哥孩子都是潜在的帕丘科……

Eduardo Pagan, Historian: “…by wearing their zoot suits, and swaggering down the streets in public, these kids defied the norms of segregation” "It's hard for us to imagine, but to go back in the context in the 1940s when everything around you told you you're not one of us.

历史学家爱德华多·帕根 (Eduardo Pagan):“……这些孩子穿着祖特服,在公共场合大摇大摆地走在街上,他们藐视种族隔离的规范。”“我们很难想象,但要回到 20 世纪 40 年代的背景,当时周围的一切都告诉你,你不是我们中的一员。

You're not American.

你不是美国人。

And because you're not American, because you're not white, you're supposed to remain in your neighborhoods.

The first place to look is in terms of the servicemen's own backgrounds.

首先要看军人自身的背景。

Uh, a lot of these servicemen, uh, were coming from other parts of the United States.

And they really were not accustomed to not only the diversity of Los Angeles, but the kind of interaction one would see on the city streets…"

历史学家爱德华多·帕根(Eduardo Pagan):“我认为这一时期的许多墨西哥裔美国孩子通过将他们的社区视为他们的社区来接受种族隔离。

You’re asking for trouble.

你这是在自找麻烦。

You’re really asking for trouble.”

你真是自找麻烦。”

Reno Sanetti: “At the base, they told us to go down to the sail shop and they sewed thirteen pennies in the back of our neckerchief, that if any of the Pachucos came after you, you'd take that neckerchief off and use it as a billy club.

雷诺·萨内蒂:“在基地,他们让我们去风帆店,他们在我们的围巾后面缝了十三枚硬币,如果有任何帕丘科人来追你,你就把围巾摘下来,用它作为比利棍。
