美国共产主义村——艾蔻伍德简介

翻译：沧海（仅供参考）

Echowood is a group of pragmatic idealists, everything from writers to carpenters, web designers to organic farmers. We're working to develop a new way to live based on living in community with others while doing our part to bring the planet into a state of ecological balance. We're building a rural community where people can have meaningful, lasting friendships and fulfilling work.

艾蔻伍德是一个注重实效的理想主义者团体，从作家到木匠、从网页设计者到有机农民的每件事。我们正在为开发一种新生活方式而工作，出发点是在做好自己把地球带入生态平衡状态的分内工作的同时与他人过公社式的生活。我们正在创建一个人人能够拥有意味深长且长久的友谊和全职工作的乡村公社。

We are trying to achieve these and other goals by creating a diverse, interlinked system of sustainable practices utilizing alternative approaches to goat and chicken rearing, organic gardening and off the grid living in general. This includes using both traditional and modern technologies and our own, unique “do-it yourself” sustainable systems wherever possible. With growing expertise and refinement in applicable areas, we will be offering workshops on how to implement alternative green technology in your home or community.

我们正在试图通过创建一种利用山羊和小鸡喂养、有机园艺以及远离一般笼子式生活的另类途径的可持续实践的多样交叉式的系统来实现这些及其它目标。这包括在任何可能的情况下兼用传统的和现代的技术，以及我们自己独特的“自己动手”可持续系统。随着应用领域专业经验和改进的不断增长，我们将会为如何在你的家庭和社区实现另类绿色技术举办专题讨论会。

Echowood is located one hour southeast of Austin, Texas, on 23 acres in a rural area of rolling farm and ranch land. Our land has forested areas, large trees, pastures and a pond for swimming. Because the community is relatively new (started in April, 2007), we are still developing many of our facilities. There are currently two houses and a cluster of smaller buildings, and an organic garden.

艾蔻伍德位于距德克萨斯州奥斯汀市东南一小时路程的一块连绵起伏农牧场的23英亩农村区域上。我们的土地上有绿化带、大树、草原以及一个供游泳的池塘。由于公社几乎是刚刚建立（始于2007年4月），我们仍在发展我们的许多设施。目前有两套房子、一系列小建筑、以及一个有机花园。
