You can picture the United States as a coast, a coast, and a very wide space in between. Middle America is that space: fields, small towns, suburbs, long roads. The word then does something more. It takes the people who live in that space and treats them as one kind of American — not rich, not poor, steady, traditional. So the same two words hold a place and a group of people, and the second grew out of the first.
可以想成一張美國地圖:左邊一條海岸,右邊一條海岸,中間一大片空的地方。Middle America 講的就是中間那片——農田、小鎮、郊區、開很久的公路。接著這個詞又多做了一件事。它把住在那片土地上的人,當成一種「典型的美國人」來講:收入在中間,日子穩定,想法比較傳統。所以同樣兩個字,一邊是地方,一邊是人,而人的那層是從地方那層長出來的。
