纵观美国历史，几乎总是至少有一个中心经济叙事，让雄心勃勃或不满足的人有理由收拾行囊，到别处去寻找财富。

Throughout American history there has almost always been at least one central economic narrative that gave the ambitious or unsatisfied reason to pack up and seek their fortune elsewhere.

youdao

正如许多有创造力的人一样，他永不满足。

Like so many creative people, he was never satisfied.

《柯林斯英汉双解大词典》

有雄心的人不满足于模仿。

The ambitious are not content to imitate.

youdao

And that may generalize again and it keeps going until you either get back to Adam and Eve, I guess. I don't think they were born in the US as far as I know, or you find somebody who satisfies that definition or you find that none of your parents actually are in that category.

降低到我的父亲或者母亲,是不是天生的美国公民呢,这个问题可以继续向下分解,你甚至可以追溯到亚当和夏娃的时候,据我所知它们并不是出生在美国的,或者你要么找到一个符合定义的人,要么发现你的父母都不满足条件。
