【摘要2023.8.4..自由】張沛元

Villagers in this renowned UNESCO World Heritage site came together to re-thatch the roof of a multitiered house here for the first time in five years on May 13.

(日本岐阜縣)知名的聯合國教科文組織世界遺產的白川鄉的村民,513日在暌違5年後首度一同為(村內的)1幢多層屋的屋頂換茅草。

The traditional re-thatching of the roof of a “gassho-zukuri” structure was undertaken by a mutual assistance group formed by local residents called “Yui,” which has helped preserve the settlement and plays a vital role in the re-thatching of roofs.

「合掌造」結構的傳統的屋頂換草工程,是由被稱為「結」、由當地居民組成的1個互助團體來執行,該團體協助保護該聚落,以及在屋頂換草上扮演重要角色。

Around 150 villagers of Shirakawa-go threw themselves into the effort.

大約150名白川鄉村民投入了這項工作。

According to the Shirakawa village board of education, this was the first re-thatching in Shirakawa-go in five years.

根據白川村教育委員會,這是白川鄉5年來首度為茅草屋頂換草。

The lack of thatch and the novel coronavirus pandemic pushed back the rethatching work by the Yui.

「結」的屋頂換草工作因缺草以及武漢肺炎疫情大流行而推遲。
