（单词翻译）

 文本：

Anuta is so small, that no matter where you are, the sound of the waves is ever present.

Life on Anuta has changed little since these people's ancestors arrived here nearly 400 years ago.

Many Anutans still spend their entire lives on this remote speck1 of land.

Anuta's isolation2 has meant that the 300 people who live here have had to become completely self-sufficient.

Almost every square metre of the island is cultivated to grow staple3 crops like taro4 or breadfruit.

Some of this food will be stored in the ground -an insurance policy against cyclones5.
