I Discovered A Toxic Valley In Romania, Here Are My Photos

我在罗马尼亚发现了一个有毒的山谷，以下是我拍摄的照片

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 Geamăna? Probably not much.

像切尔诺贝利，埃克森瓦尔迪兹，深水地平线这样的术语我们都知道。我们不可避免地把它们与人为的环境灾难联系在一起。我们中的许多人甚至知道那天我们做了什么。但你与Geamăna的关系呢?可能没有那么多。

The cornerstone for the fate of Geamăna 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 Geamăna 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.

Geamăna被裁的命运出自罗马尼亚时期坚定的斯大林主义的独裁者尼古拉·齐奥塞斯库之手。他决定将阿普塞尼山脉的一个山谷变成罗马尼亚最大铜矿的沉降盆地。小而美丽的村庄Geamăna位于这个山谷中间，并没有发挥重要作用。大约1000名居民将被简单地重新安置。居民家庭因为放弃自己的房子而得到了回报，只是他们得到的价格太低，只能在其他地方买劣质的土地，或者不得不负债去寻找对自己和家人有用的东西。

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."

我自己第一次意识到这一点是通过一个旅行博客，大约一年后，我踏上了通往“有毒山谷”的崎岖之路。
