  There was mass unemployment.
  失业大量增加
• 
  
  There was hunger and shortages of all kinds.
  出现了各种物品的短缺和饥荒
•

  还造成了新的阶层关系紧张

  Cholera was a class disease, I would argue,
  我之前说过霍乱是一个阶级疾病
• 
  
  in that it caused a sharply unequal burden of death and suffering.
  因为它造成了非常不公平的死亡
• 
  
  Unlike plague, unlike smallpox, cholera primarily chose the poor.
  不像瘟疫和天花 霍乱主要感染穷人

  也就是说 穷人和富人不住在一起
• 
  
  and the poor suffered from overcrowding, filth, poor diet, lack of light,
  穷人饱受拥挤 肮脏 饮食不当等
• 
  
  and the wells they drank from
  他们的饮用水
