安德烈·亞克汗戈爾斯基( Andrei Arkhangelsky )是一位隱士,在太平洋沿岸千島群島的國後島上過著孤獨的生活。
He works as a fish inspector, but in his spare time indulges in an unusual hobby: horse breeding.

他的工作是漁業監察員,但在業余時間則有一種不尋常的愛好:駿馬育種。
In Soviet times, the Kuril Islands were home to many horses. Farmers and border guards simply had no other means of transportation.

在蘇聯時代,千島群島是許多馬匹的家園。農民和邊防衛兵根本沒有別的交通工具。
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.

蘇聯解體之後,馬匹就無人看管了。在短短一年的空間,所有馬匹就遭到了乘著直升機來以射殺馬匹為樂的人的大肆屠殺。安德烈是唯一決定把馬匹帶來島上的人。
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.

他從別人那里得到了一些馬匹,還有一些是他自己帶回來的。最初他準備給馬匹釘馬掌,於是收集了許多馬蹄鐵,可是後來他改變了想法。馬蹄會隨著時間的推移自然硬化。
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.

典型的馬群由 30匹成年馬和10匹馬駒組成。每年大約有五匹馬會因為各種原因死去。它們要忍受自然環境的鹽庫,因為安德烈沒有足夠大的馬廄來安置它們。
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.

Andrei Shapran

安德烈沒有給他的馬取名字,不然要記的名字就太多了。不過它們都能時不時得到些獎勵,一塊糖。
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.

Andrei Shapran

安德烈開著一輛四輪越野摩托車去最近的村莊。30到50公里的路對馬匹的負擔太大了。
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·亞克汗戈爾斯基出生在莫斯科郊外,但從來沒有體會過城市生活。他每年去一次他的出生地,但總是很願意回到他的島上來。
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

他回來之後,通常要過兩個星期才能從城市的壓力中恢複過來。只有在恢複之後安德烈才會覺得自己像個人。
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

在他掌控下的遼闊土地上,安德烈只有一個鄰居—— 一只熊。這頭熊總會劃定地界,不讓別的熊進來。
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會離開這座島。這些馬對任何人都沒有用了。其中一些馬連第一個冬天都撐不過去;而剩下的馬匹則會被送進屠宰場。
