Hi, my name is Kate, and I am from Odessa region.
嗨，我叫凯特，我来自敖德萨地区。
Imagine you are standing on the slope of the mountain, and a breathtaking view opens to you. The sun shines brightly and clear. The breeze is barely noticeable and warm. You see a large bay underneath. The water flows quietly and calmly. The leaves on the trees rustle gently. You feel peace. You feel happiness. No thoughts. No feelings. No worries. Only harmony of the inner and outer world. You are in Bakota, one of the most beautiful and amazing places in Ukraine.
想象一下，您正站在山的斜坡上，并为您带来令人叹为观止的景色。 阳光明亮而晴朗。 微风几乎没有明显和温暖。 您会在下面看到一个大海湾。 水安静而平静地流动。 树上的叶子轻轻沙沙作响。 你感到和平。 你感到幸福。 没有想法。 没有感觉。 不用担心。 只有内在和外部世界的和谐。 您在乌克兰最美丽，最神奇的地方巴科塔。
Bakota was a village in the Khmelnytskyi region in the west of Ukraine. The name Bakota was first mentioned in writings in 1024. In the 12th century, it was a large trading port on the Dniester River with a population of about 2,500 people.
巴科塔是乌克兰西部Khmelnytskyi地区的一个村庄。 巴科塔这个名字首先在1024年的著作中提到。在12世纪，它是Dniester河上的一个大型贸易港口，人口约为2500人。
The region was ruled in succession by the Mongol-Tatars, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, and the Kingdom of Poland. Despite pressure from the invaders, Bakota managed to fight for freedom and preserve its cultural identity.
该地区由蒙古塔塔尔，立陶宛大公爵和波兰王国连续统治。 尽管有侵略者的压力，巴科塔还是为自由而战，并保留了其文化认同。
In 1972, the government started construction of the Dniester hydroelectric station in this region. And Soviet authorities decided to flood the settlement. All the buildings were to be destroyed. Trees were cut down and burned. And cemeteries were moved to new places.
1972年，政府开始在该地区建造DNiester水力发电站。 苏联当局决定淹没解决方案。 所有建筑物都将被摧毁。 树木被砍伐并烧毁。 墓地被移至新地方。
The locals had to destroy their own houses - their history - and stop farming and gardening. The planned resettlement took eight years. In 1981, the village of Bakota ceased to exist. Officials spent the next six years to fill the area with water.
当地人不得不摧毁自己的房屋 - 他们的历史 - 停止耕种和园艺。 计划的安置花费了八年。 1981年，巴科塔村不再存在。 官员们在接下来的六年中用水填充该地区。
The only thing left of the old village is a cave monastery.
旧村庄唯一剩下的就是一个洞穴修道院。
The cave is located inside White Mountain, about 70 meters above the Dniester River. The oldest archaeological finds in the area date back to the second millennium BC.
该洞穴位于白山内，在Dniester河上方约70米处。 该地区最古老的考古发现可以追溯到公元前第二千年。
The website Blog about tours to Ukraine says the monks first came to the cave in the 11th century. There were also reports that St. Anthony, the founder of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra cave monastery, once visited the area. During the Mongol invasion in the middle of the 13th century, both monks and peasants from nearby villages used the cave as a hiding place. By the 15th century, the monks left the area as several landslides destroyed many of the caves inside the soft sandstone of White Mountain.
关于乌克兰旅行的网站博客说，僧侣在11世纪首次来到洞穴。 还有报道说，曾访问过该地区的基夫 - 佩奇克·拉夫拉（Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra）洞穴修道院的创始人圣安东尼（St. Anthony）。 在13世纪中叶的蒙古入侵期间，来自附近村庄的僧侣和农民都将洞穴作为藏身之处。 到15世纪，僧侣离开了该地区，几只滑坡摧毁了白山软砂岩内的许多洞穴。
There are several springs on the mountain, just below the cave. The cool spring water is tasty. Locals believe that the spring water can heal and treat different diseases.
山上有几个泉水，就在山洞下方。 凉爽的春水很美味。 当地人认为，泉水可以治愈和治疗不同的疾病。
Today, Bakota Bay, the cave and the springs often draw visitors to the area, about 300 kilometers from the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. And many leave behind ribbons and personal items along the path to the healing springs.
如今，巴科塔湾，洞穴和泉水经常吸引距离乌克兰西部利沃夫市约300公里的该地区的游客。 许多人沿着通往治愈弹簧的道路留下了丝带和个人物品。
