Content Introduction
中文
杰西·詹姆斯（Jesse James，1847年9月5日－1882年4月3日）是美国历史上臭名昭著的匪徒，也是美国西部传奇人物。他领导的詹姆斯-杨格帮（James-Younger Gang）在内战后的美国中部地区进行了一系列大胆的抢劫活动，目标包括银行、火车和驿站。
詹姆斯出生于密苏里州，在内战期间加入了南方军队。内战结束后，他与兄弟弗兰克·詹姆斯以及其他一些人组成了詹姆斯-杨格帮。该团伙以其精准的计划、高效的执行和极少的暴力而闻名，尽管他们的抢劫行为依然是犯罪。
詹姆斯-杨格帮的抢劫活动通常有精心设计的计划。他们会提前侦察目标，了解警方的部署和周围环境，从而在行动中快速进出，避免与执法部门发生正面冲突。他们也深知民众对政府的不满，因此经常将抢劫所得分发给当地贫困的居民，以此博取民心。
然而，詹姆斯-杨格帮的行为也引发了社会争议。一些人将他们视为对抗社会不公的英雄，另一些人则认为他们是罪犯，应该受到法律制裁。他们的行动在某种程度上反映了当时美国社会贫富差距大、政府效率低下的问题。
最终，在1882年，杰西·詹姆斯被他的一个同伙罗伯特·福德（Robert Ford）枪杀。他的死标志着美国西部一个时代的结束。他的传奇故事直到今天依然被人们传颂，被改编成电影、电视连续剧、书籍和歌曲，他已成为美国文化的一部分。

Jesse James (September 5, 1847 – April 3, 1882) was a notorious outlaw and a legendary figure of the American West. He led the James-Younger Gang, which carried out a series of daring robberies across the American Midwest in the aftermath of the Civil War, targeting banks, trains, and stagecoaches.
Born in Missouri, James fought for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Following the war, he formed the James-Younger Gang with his brother Frank James and others. The gang was known for its meticulous planning, efficient execution, and remarkably little violence, although their robberies were still criminal acts.
The James-Younger Gang's robberies were typically meticulously planned. They would scout their targets in advance, learning about police deployments and the surrounding environment, allowing for swift in-and-out operations that avoided direct confrontations with law enforcement. They were also keenly aware of public dissatisfaction with the government, and often distributed a portion of their loot to impoverished local residents, cultivating a degree of popular support.
However, the actions of the James-Younger Gang were highly controversial. Some viewed them as heroes fighting against social injustice, while others considered them criminals who deserved punishment. Their actions reflected, to some extent, the widening gap between rich and poor and the inefficiency of government in the United States at the time.
Ultimately, in 1882, Jesse James was assassinated by one of his own gang members, Robert Ford. His death marked the end of an era in the American West. His legendary story continues to be told and retold in movies, television series, books, and songs, cementing his place in American culture.
