Samuel Zemurray于1891年抵达美国时，还是个身材高瘦、身无分文的穷光蛋。六十九年后他在新奥尔良最宏伟的豪宅中去世时，已然跻身世界上最富有、最有权势的人物之列。在这期间，他当过水果小贩、香蕉搬运工、码头倒爷和种植园主。他与United Fruit Company抗争并最终将其征服，成为了美国最好与最坏一面的象征：既证明了美国是一个充满机遇的国度，也是将别国视作冒险舞台的商业海盗之典型范例。从一无

你应该去读读理查德·科恩写的《吞下鲸鱼的鱼》。当年美国政府打着香蕉产业的旗号/为了这帮家伙，在中美洲和南美洲干的事简直丧心病狂。
You should read “The Fish that Ate the Whale“ by Richard Cohen. The American government did insane things in Central and South America for/on behalf of the banana industry.
《吞下鲸鱼的鱼》这本书把那些事讲得相当透彻，很值得一读。https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250033314/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1...
The book The Fish That Ate the Whale was a pretty good read about all that. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250033314/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1...
咦，之前还真没想过这点。不过完全说得通。按现在的美元折算，联合果品公司当年的规模比现在的 Google 还要大。里奇·科恩写的《吞下鲸鱼的鱼》是一本绝妙好书。
Huh, hadn't considered this. But it absolutely makes sense. United Fruit Co. used to be larger than Google in today-dollars. "The Fish That Ate the Whale" by: Rich Cohen is a phenomenal read.
联合果品/金吉达（Chiquita）早期的创业史简直跌宕起伏得像坐过山车，如果你想了解这段极其离奇野蛮的故事，我强烈推荐《吞下鲸鱼的鱼》，讲的是“香蕉人”萨姆·泽穆瑞（Sam Zemurray）的传奇。先提个醒：开头稍微有点枯燥，讲了不少香蕉的背景知识和种植方式（虽然挺有意思……
United Fruit/Chiquita had a roller coaster of a beginning in the early days and I highly recommend the book The Fish That Ate The Whale about Sam “the Banana Man” Zemurray if you’re interested in reading about the truly wild story. Fair warning: it starts off a bit dry with background about bananas and how they’re cultivated (interesting,…
