NUI

When the Europeans arrived, Rapa Nui was grassland, with only a few scrawny trees.

当欧洲人到达时，拉帕努伊还是一片草原，只有几棵瘦骨嶙峋的树。

"Rather than a case of abject failure, Rapu Nui is an unlikely story of success," they claim.

他们声称：“拉普努伊不是一个悲惨的失败案例，而是一个不太可能成功的故事。”

Easter Island, or Rapu Nui as it is known locally, is home to several hundred ancient human statues—the moai.

复活节岛（当地人称之为拉普努伊岛）是数百座古代人类雕像——摩艾石像的故乡。

Whichever is the case, there are surely some valuable lessons which the world at large can learn from the story of Rapa Nui.

不管怎样，拉帕努伊的故事中总有一些宝贵的经验值得全世界学习。

High season on Rapa Nui is the Southern Hemisphere summer—January to March.

拉帕努伊岛的旅游旺季是南半球的夏季——一月到三月。
