很多中国人对远在大洋彼岸的古巴有着一种莫名的亲切感。这个熟悉而陌生的国度就像一个糅杂着各种意象、气味和声音的万花筒。在美国的封锁之下，你看不到世俗眼光中的富足，但是你能看到很多人终其一生都在追求的快乐自在。接下来，美国《国家地理》杂志的摄影师将带我们踏上一趟生动的古巴之旅。
It's an island of proud, passionate people, just 90 miles from Florida, a country rich in culture and 1)controversy. Now, more than half a century after its revolution, Cuba is once again 2)on the brink of change.
这个岛屿上生活着一个自豪、奔放的民族，它距离（美国）佛罗里达只有90英里（约145千米），也是一个文化深厚并富有争议性的国家。在距离当年的革命已经超过半个世纪的今天，古巴再一次面临变革。
David Alan Harvey is a photographer for National Geographic magazine, and 3)documenting Latin American countries is the focus of his work.
戴维·阿伦·哈维是（美国）《国家地理》杂志的摄影师，其主要工作是拍摄拉美国家纪录片。
Harvey: Well, I've been very interested in the Latin world for about 20 years, and Cuba's a place where I've wanted to work for a long time.
哈维：过去二十多年来，我一直对拉美世界很感兴趣，而古巴正是我长久以来希望能在那里工作的地方。
He's here to photograph a Cuba few people know.
他要来这里拍摄一个鲜为人知的古巴。
Harvey: You know, there's something so unique about Cuba in the way that life 4)unfolds in the streets. It's a 5)kaleidoscope of activity, 6)imagery, smells, sounds. It's all 7)interconnected, and that's what Cuba is all about.
哈维：你知道，古巴有着独特的魅力，生活如此活色生香地在这里的街头铺开。这里就像一个糅杂着各种活动、意象、气味和声音的万花筒，一切互相交织着，这正是古巴的特色。
Right now I'm working in a beautiful 8)colonial town in the southern part of Cuba called Trinidad. I've made eight or nine trips to Cuba in the last two years, and I'm really 9)getting in sync with their way of life. Sometimes it feels like I'm in an old movie; as if time just stopped in 1959. In a lot of ways Cuba is like a 10)time capsule: that's why I'm here right now. I want to photograph this place before it changes. I always look at it that I'm photographing the end of one thing and the beginning of something else. It's the end of the revolution and it's the beginning of whatever's gonna happen from now on, so it's a real important thing for me to document this little 11)slice of history.
现在我正在拍摄古巴南部一个美丽的殖民地小镇——特立尼达。过去两年里，我来过古巴八九次，开始真正理解当地人的生活。有时我觉得自己好像置身于一部老电影，仿佛时间停在了1959年。古巴在很多方面就像是一个时间胶囊。这正是我现在来到这里的原因——我想在这个地方发生改变之前把它记录下来。我一直认为自己正在拍摄的是一件事物的终结，同时也是其他事物的开始。这是革命的结束，也是从现在开始正要发生的事情的起点。因此，对我来说，把这段历史的小片段记录下来是一件很重要的事情。
