字號:

The next day, they all get on a boat to go to Orchid Island
     Dan: I heard the government left a lot of nuclear waste here. Have they cleaned it up yet?
     Banai: No, not yet. Many people from my tribe have gone to Taipei to pressure the government to do something about it.
     Dan: Were you ever part of the protests?
     Banai: In 2002, I steered my boat in front of a ship that was trying to bring nuclear waste to the island. We stopped it dead in the water.
     Dan: That sounds kind of like being in a battle.
     (續(xù)上期)
     隔天,他們全都搭船去蘭嶼
     阿丹:我聽說政府把一大堆核廢料留在這里。他們來清走沒?
     巴耐:沒,還沒。我的很多族人都去臺北向政府施壓要他們有所行動。
     阿丹:你有參加過*嗎?
     巴耐:2002年,我開著我的船擋在企圖載運核廢料到蘭嶼的船前面。我們讓核廢料船 在海上動彈不得。
