你们太孤陋寡闻了吧！美国哪有什么农民啊，都是农场主！自己有田有地不说，还能拿到大笔的政府补贴。而且他们哪用自己种地啊，全都是机械化的！小李嫁给这位山姆大叔是享福啰！你以为都像中国农民似的，面朝黄土背朝天，一年就盼个好收成来养家糊口啊？

And do you think they have to work the land themselves? No way-- it's all mechanized! Getting married to this Uncle Sam means Xiao Li will be living the good life. And you thought they were all like Chinese peasants, slaving away under the hot sun, hoping all year long for a good harvest that would allow them to raise their families.
