We are basically a Mestizo country, Indian and European.

我们基本上是个印第安文化与欧洲文化混的国度。

Mestizos meaning people of mixed European and Amerindian heritage make up the majority of this population at 60%.

麦斯蒂索人指的是欧洲和美洲印第安人的混儿，会占帝国人口的大多数，为 60%。

The distinctive headgear of mestizo women, we learn, distinguishes them publicly from " pure-blooded" Spanish women.

我们了解到，混独特的头饰她们与“纯”西牙公开区分开来。

" It was neither a triumph nor a defeat. It was the painful birth of the Mestizo (mixed-race) Mexico today, " the plaque reads.

纪念碑上的碑文写道，" 这既不是胜利，也不是失败。而是一个梅蒂斯索（即混）民族痛苦的诞生，这就是今天的墨西哥。"

Below them were the  indios, people solely of Native American descent, and the mestizos, which included people with  one Spanish and one native parent.

在他们之下是印地安人，即完全具有美洲原住民的人，以及混儿，其中包括一位西牙人和一位本土父母的人。

The Creole general Iturbide and the rebel mestizo commander Guerrero joined forces and won independence with most of the Peninsulares returning to Spain.

克里奥尔军伊图尔比德和叛军混儿指挥官格雷罗联手赢得了独立，大部分半岛都回到了西牙。

(This appears to have been a misapplication of the Spanish colonial terminology, which called such people mestizos; creoles were Spaniards born in the colonies.)

（这似乎是对西牙殖民术语的误用，该术语称这些人为混儿;克里奥尔人是出生在殖民地的西牙人。
