安德烈·亚克汗戈尔斯基( Andrei Arkhangelsky )是一位隐士,在太平洋沿岸千岛群岛的国后岛上过着孤独的生活。
He works as a fish inspector, but in his spare time indulges in an unusual hobby: horse breeding.

他的工作是渔业监察员,但在业余时间则有一种不寻常的爱好:骏马育种。
In Soviet times, the Kuril Islands were home to many horses. Farmers and border guards simply had no other means of transportation.

在苏联时代,千岛群岛是许多马匹的家园。农民和边防卫兵根本没有别的交通工具。
After the collapse of the USSR, the horses were left ownerless. In the space of just one year, all the animals were slaughtered by people arriving in helicopters and shooting horses for pleasure. Andrei was the only person who decided to bring horses back to the island.

苏联解体之后,马匹就无人看管了。在短短一年的空间,所有马匹就遭到了乘着直升机来以射杀马匹为乐的人的大肆屠杀。安德烈是唯一决定把马匹带来岛上的人。
He got some of the horses from other people, and some he brought over himself. He initially planned to shoe the horses and collected many horseshoes, but later changed his mind. Horses' hooves harden naturally over time.

他从别人那里得到了一些马匹,还有一些是他自己带回来的。最初他准备给马匹钉马掌,于是收集了许多马蹄铁,可是后来他改变了想法。马蹄会随着时间的推移自然硬化。
A typical herd consists of 30 adult horses and 10 foals. About five horses a year are lost for various reasons. They all live out in the elements, since Andrei has no stable large enough to accommodate them.

典型的马群由 30匹成年马和10匹马驹组成。每年大约有五匹马会因为各种原因死去。它们要忍受自然环境的盐库,因为安德烈没有足够大的马厩来安置它们。
Andrei does not give names to his horses. There would be too many to remember. But they can all expect to receive a treat now and then — a lump of sugar.

安德烈没有给他的马取名字,不然要记的名字就太多了。不过它们都能时不时得到些奖励,一块糖。
Andrei uses a quad bike to get to the nearest villages. The 30-50 kilometer (20-30 mile) trip is too much for a horse.

安德烈开着一辆四轮越野摩托车去最近的村庄。30到50公里的路对马匹的负担太大了。
Andrei Arkhangelsky was born in the suburbs of Moscow, but never took to city life. He visits his birthplace once a year, but is always glad to get back to his island.

Andrei Shapran

安德烈·亚克汗戈尔斯基出生在莫斯科郊外,但从来没有体会过城市生活。他每年去一次他的出生地,但总是很愿意回到他的岛上来。
When he gets back, it usually takes two weeks to recover from the urban stress and strain. Only after that does Andrei feel human again.

Andrei Shapran

他回来之后,通常要过两个星期才能从城市的压力中恢复过来。只有在恢复之后安德烈才会觉得自己像个人。
In the vast expanse of territory under his control, Andrei has only one neighbor — a bear. The latter also lays claim to the land, refusing to admit other bears.

Andrei Shapran

在他掌控下的辽阔土地上,安德烈只有一个邻居—— 一只熊。这头熊总会划定地界,不让别的熊进来。
Andrei knows that he will leave the island before he reaches old age. The horses will be of no use to anyone. Some of them will not survive the first winter; the rest will go to the slaughter-house.

Andrei Shapran

安德烈 知道自己在步入老年之前就会离开这座岛。这些马对任何人都没有用了。其中一些马连第一个冬天都撑不过去;而剩下的马匹则会被送进屠宰场。
