But lately, this idyllic place has been roiled by a bitter political battle. A group of residents wants to recall more than half the members of the local government, the borough assembly.
但在近来，一场政治恶战在这片田园牧歌式的祥和之地激起了波澜。一群镇民要求本地政府——自治镇议会——撤除其多半成员的职务。
In the 2016 presidential election, Haines split right down the middle: Hillary Clinton eked out a four-vote margin of victory over Donald Trump, getting 374 votes to his 370.
在2016年总统选举中，海恩斯齐齐分裂成了两派：希拉里·克林顿面对唐纳德·特朗普，以
374票对370票的结果，
获得了4票的微弱优势。
To better understand this community, and to find out what all the fuss is about, we gathered a small group to talk about their lives. On a weekday evening, they gathered in a circle at the community center. Among those who came: a motel owner, a fisherman ... and one of the targets of that ongoing recall effort.
为了更好地了解这个社区，也为了弄清这一通骚乱的缘由，我们请了一小拨人来聊聊自己的生活。在一个工作日的晚上，他们在社区中心团团聚集，这些人里有汽车旅馆的老板，渔民等等，还有正在被人们要求撤职的政府成员当中的一位。
Shane Horton is the motel owner. He also drives a snowplow, and he's circulating that recall petition.
汽车旅馆老板的名字叫肖恩·霍顿，他开着一辆扫雪机代步，并且正在四处宣传要求政府成员撤职的请愿活动。
"This is kind of like a family, it's typical of a very dysfunctional family," says Horton. "There is little but dissent around here, for the most part."
霍顿说：“我们像是一家人，典型的出毛病的一家人。大部分情况下，我们只会闹意见不合。”
Heather Lende is a writer who was just elected to the borough assembly last fall — she's one of the people Horton and others are trying to remove. When she heard that some in her community were trying to oust her, "it was heartbreaking."
海瑟·兰德是一位作家，去年秋季当选了镇议会成员，也是霍顿等人正在试图撤职的人之一；在得知社区中有人想赶她下台时，她“感到心碎”。
Social media makes it worse, Lende says: People in Haines are saying things online they wouldn't dare say in public in such a small town.
兰德表示，社交媒体让事情火上浇油：海恩斯的镇民们正在网上说着他们在小镇里不敢公开说的话。
Haynes Tormey shares his first name with the town where he grew up. He's a mechanic and commercial fisherman and, at 34, he's the youngest of our group.
海恩斯·托米的名字与他生长的小镇相同。他是一位机械技工，也是一位职业渔民，今年34岁，是在场最年轻的一位。
He moved away from Haines, but recently decided to move back, with his wife, Katie, and four kids. It's a different place than he remembers. Angrier. Louder.
他一度迁离了海恩斯，但最近又带着妻子凯蒂和四个孩子搬了回来。这里已经不同于他记忆中的海恩斯，变得更加愤怒，更加聒噪。
"It's a pretty hot political climate here," says Tormey. "It's like a petri dish! Haines is following footsteps with what's happening in our country. The rhetoric and the volume has been turned up ... I'm scared that it's never gonna stop and I don't think it's a healthy way to live."
