【美国人物志】弗兰克和杰西杰姆斯(5/10)
Jesse James在美国是一位尽人皆知的传奇人物，他和弟弟Frank James是美国西部妇孺皆知的西部大盗，他的故事的精彩程度似乎不亚于我们中国观众所熟悉侠盗罗宾汉。因此，多年以来以他的生平为内容的影视作品多达30几部，仅次于亚伯拉翰·林肯和比利小子（Billy the Kid）两位美国历史名人的“上镜率”。Hints：

During the Civil War, the James family suffered attacks by Union guerrillas. As a way of fighting back, Frank and Jesse became Confederate guerrillas. They rode with two of the most violent guerrilla groups. After the war, they continued their violent ways. The James brothers were extremely successful. Their gang rode for 16 years. Hundreds of government lawmen tried to catch them. Agents of the private Pinkerton National Detective Agency tried, too. But no one did. Most lawmen did not even know what the two brothers looked like.弗兰克和杰西可能是落草为寇的士兵中最有名的例子了。因为在内战期间，杰姆斯一家饱受北方联邦游击队的摧残。为了报仇，弗兰克和杰西加入了南方联盟游击队。他们参加了两个极端暴力的游击团体。内战结束后，他们仍然继续着他们的暴力行为。杰姆斯兄弟可谓是极为成功的一对，他们这一伙人前后横行了16年。成百上千的政府警察想要抓住他们，私人平克顿国家侦探社的特工们也想抓住他们。但没人成功过，绝大多数警察们甚至都还不知道这两个家伙长什么样。
