中文注释：（网友翻译，有待改进，请跟帖发表自己看法）
缅甸丹老群岛海岸线以外的安达曼海，莫肯族的渔民正在自己的船上工作。这个海上游牧民族的成员们往往会在他们的船上度过生命中的大部分时间，就在群岛内的800个岛屿周末捕鱼、潜水、正如部族古语所云：“莫肯族人出世、生活和死亡全都在海上，就连他们小孩的脐带都是扔到海里的。”





英文注释：
Fisherman, Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar (Burma), 2005
A Moken fisherman works on his boat in the Andaman Sea, off the coast of Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago. Members of this nomadic sea culture spend most of their lives in their boats, fishing and diving in the waters around the archipelago’s 800 islands. As their old saying goes, “The Moken are born, live, and die on their boats, and the umbilical cords of their children plunge into the sea.”
