我在羅馬尼亞發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個有毒的山谷,以下是我拍攝的照片
Terms like Chernobyl, Exxon Valdez, or Deepwater Horizon are known to all of us. We inevitably associate them with man-made environmental disasters. Many of us even know what we did that day. But what do you associate with Geam?na? Probably not much.
像切爾諾貝利,??松郀柕掀?,深水地平線這樣的術語我們都知道。我們不可避免地把它們與人為的環(huán)境災難聯(lián)系在一起。我們中的許多人甚至知道那天我們做了什么。但你與Geam?na的關系呢?可能沒有那么多。
The cornerstone for the fate of Geam?na was laid during the time when Romania was firmly in the Stalinist hands of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. The decision was made that a valley in the Apuseni Mountains would become a settling basin for the largest copper mine in Romania. The fact that the small, beautiful village of Geam?na lay in the middle of this valley did not play a major role. It was decided that around 1,000 residents would be simply relocated. The resident families were rewarded for giving up their houses, only they were paid such poor square meter prices that they could only buy inferior land elsewhere, or had to go into debt to find something useful for themselves and their families.
Geam?na被裁的命運出自羅馬尼亞時期堅定的斯大林主義的獨裁者尼古拉·齊奧塞斯庫之手。他決定將阿普塞尼山脈的一個山谷變成羅馬尼亞最大銅礦的沉降盆地。小而美麗的村莊Geam?na位于這個山谷中間,并沒有發(fā)揮重要作用。大約1000名居民將被簡單地重新安置。居民家庭因為放棄自己的房子而得到了回報,只是他們得到的價格太低,只能在其他地方買劣質(zhì)的土地,或者不得不負債去尋找對自己和家人有用的東西。
I first became aware of it myself through a travel blog, and about a year later, I was traveling on a bumpy road towards the "toxic valley."
我自己第一次意識到這一點是通過一個旅行博客,大約一年后,我踏上了通往“有毒山谷”的崎嶇之路。
