These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. 【结构解析】 1. 首句为被动句，即：thriving Spanish colonies/ had been /established，该句可将被动译为主动形式，即：强盛的西班牙早已建立起殖民地; in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America 为介词短语充当状语成分。 2. 第二句为主谓结构，即：These travelers to North America /came; in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft 为方式状语；travelers 本意为旅行者，但结合昨天的句子和these，译为“移民”更合适。 【词的处理】 In the meantime 于此同时 thriving / θraiviŋ / adj. 繁荣的；蒸蒸日上的；旺盛的 colony / ˈkɔləni; NAmE ˈkɑ:l- / n.
