Episode 10: From Mountain to Modern: A Village Transformed

大家好，我叫Huang Minqun，来自殿镇十队，一个村边。
Hi! I’m Huang Minqun,
a resident of Dianzhen Village.

之前在秦岭的山坡上居住，日常生活做什么都很不方便。
It’s very inconvenient while I lived on the hillside of the Qinling Mountains.

自从植物园来了以后，我们就搬迁到了这里。
We moved to the village since the Garden established.

用电、取水、附近的道路，都让我们生活便利。
Electricity, water, roads are all reachable.

所以我们心里都非常感谢植物园能来我们这边开发，
We heartfully thanks to the development brought by the Garden.

如果不是他们，我们也无法从山上移居到平原来，
Otherwise, we can’t move to the plains.生活也没法像现在这样便利。
life can’t be so convenient like now.

我结婚了以后，在山底下弯腰挑水。用两个水桶，往山上挑了好几年水以后，
Back when I was living in the mountains,
I need to go to the bottom of the mountains to fetch water.
山上才有自来水可以使用，（自来水）比起山里的泉水，自来水更干净实用。
Now we have tap water,
which is cleaner, and easy to get.

以前住在山中最害怕下雨，因为都是泥土路，每天都要穿雨鞋。
Previously, I’m most afraid of rainy days,
Because the roads get muddy,
I need to wear rain boots.

现在在新村，都是柏油路、水泥路，下雨都不会让鞋子沾满泥。
Now we have asphalt and cement roads,
our shoes are still clean even during rainy days.

自从搬到了新村，出门都能坐车，现在甚至每家每户都有私家车。有车以后，出门做什么都很方便，确实很感谢植物园带来的开发。

And every household has vehicle to commute,
it’s so easy to go out of the village.

We express our sincere gratitude once more
to the development brought by the Garden.
