RAPA

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。

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。

They would have prevented the reseeding of the slow-growing palm trees and thereby doomed Rapa Nui´s forest, even without the settlers´ campaign of deforestation.

即使没有定居者的滥伐森林运动，他们也会阻止生长缓慢的棕榈树重新播种，从而毁灭拉帕努伊的森林。

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。

It´s miraculous that Polynesian peoples ever reached Rapa Nui in the first place.

波利尼西亚人起初能到达拉帕·努伊岛真是太神奇了。
