These are French-Canadian millworkers at the turn of the century.

这些是世纪之交法裔加拿大工厂工。

My grandfather, born in 1912, was the grandson of slaves, the son of a millworker, and the oldest of what would be ten children in his family.

祖父出生于 1912 年，是奴隶孙子，是磨坊工儿子，也是家里十孩子中最大一。

We spent the advance on a new car (a standard shift which Tabby hated and reviled in her most colorful millworker's language) and I signed a teaching contract for the 1973-1974 academic year.

们用预付金买了一辆新车（配标准变速挡，遭到塔碧痛恨，用她最为生动纺织工语言骂了够），签下了1973——74学年教学合约。
