译文: /现在/我们 必须也 /按照我们墨西哥裔的美国人的经历/来审视 这个文化 ,/我们的经历是 一个主权的民族变成了 新来的定居者的同胞 最终 沦落成为 一个被征服的民族——在我们自己的土地上的宪章规定的少数民族/。

explain

解释: 主句中的/as we Mexican Americans have experienced it/是examine的状语,说明审视的角度;后面直到句尾的分词结构又是experience的状语,详述了经历的具体过程。就是这个分词有些难懂,因为我们熟知的结构是from...to...,没有见过、也没有想到过后面居然还有一个to,因此看到这个套了一个插入语的newly arriving settlers to, finally , a conquered people的时候头脑发生混乱,不明所以、不知所措。这里的to还是与前面的from搭配的,也就是说,原文的结构是:from... to... to...
