They started closing them up, closing them up, and people just started disappearing.
灯塔一个接着一个关闭，人们也逐渐离开了。
Some people went to other ones, and some people just stopped, but I think this one was offered to a few people.
一些人去了别的灯塔工作，还有一些人就不做这个工作了，但我觉得来这个地方的人挺少的。

There's always something to keep you busy, but you don't have a timetable saying you have to get up this morning and do this, or you have to do that, so you pretty well pick and choose what you wanna do, when you wanna do it, when you can handle what it is you're doing.
总有可忙的事，但你不用遵守固定的日程表，早上起来得做这个，做那个，所以你可以随意选择你想做的事情，什么时候做，做什么。

I feel now that, instead of being the keeper of the light out here, you’re more of keeper of the island, and looking after it as opposed to just the mechanical systems that are on it.
