The Chinese village reclaimed by nature: Remote island homes abandoned 30 years ago are today hidden beneath blanket of foliage
村庄重新回归自然：30年前被遗弃的偏远岛屿房屋如今被掩藏在植被下
A tiny village on a Chinese island in the pacific ocean, less than three miles wide, has returned to a state of natural wilderness after villagers abandoned their homes and land around 30 years ago.
在太平洋上的一个岛屿上有一个小村庄，宽度不足3英里，村民们在30年前遗弃了他们的家园和土地，现在这个岛屿已经恢复到自然荒野状态。
Houtouwan village, once the richest fishing village in Shengsi island in east China's Zhejiang province was totally abandoned at the begng of 21st century due mostly due to economic reasons.
后头湾村曾是浙江省嵊泗岛最富有的渔村，但在21世纪初却因经济原因被彻底废弃。
Fishermen who once inhabited the village moved away once they discovered it was more lucrative to live and work on the mainland rather than the remote and difficult to access island.
曾住在村里的一些渔民发现，在内陆地区生活工作，比在偏远且交通不便的岛上更易挣钱，于是选择搬离。
Other villagers began leaving the island for an easier life in the 90s, many wanting a better education for their children or medical treatment.
其他村民为让孩子接受更好的教育或获得更好的医疗条件，也在90年代陆续离开。
In the 1980s the village boasted a population of around 3,000 inhabitants, but by 2002 the village was officially depopulated and was merged with a neighbouring village.
上世纪80年代，这个村庄约有3000名居民，后来人口逐渐减少，到2002年这个村庄与邻近的一个村庄合并。
Now overrun with wildlife and greenery the mystical island has taken on a fairy-tale feel, attracting adventurous tourists in their thousands.
如今，这个神秘的岛屿上到处都是野生动物和绿色植物，给人一种童话般的感觉，吸引了成千上万喜欢探险的游客。

Why not release some endangered species there and let them thrive. A few loose tigers would keep the tourists away.
为什么不在这放生一些濒危物种，让它们在这里繁衍生息呢?几只老虎就能把游客吓跑。

Given time and chance the earth heals itself. There are far too many of us on this small planet. We are destroying it like a disease. Spreading and chocking it. I dont see the governments of countries with huge populations like China, India, Bangladesh caring enough to do anything about it. No matter how many milk bottles I save to recycle ot will not repair the damage caused by those countries.
只要有时间和机会，地球会自行愈合的。在这个小星球上，人口太多了。我们在毁掉这个地球，就像一种疾病一样。、印度、孟加拉国这些国家人口众多。不管我回收了多少奶瓶，都无法抵消这些国家造成的破坏。

There appears to be washing hanging in one of the gardens. Maybe one or two residents still live there?
其中一个院子里似乎晾着衣服。也许还有一两个居民住在那里?
