Unchecked development has hit this once laid back beach town on Mexico’s Caribbean coast so hard that developers are now eager _ even desperate _ to build condominiums and hotels in a shantytown.
毫無節制的開發已經重創墨西哥加勒比海海岸這個曾經輕鬆悠閒的海灘小鎮，以至於開發商現在急於，甚至是不顧一切要在貧民窟興建公寓和旅館。
While police are trying to evict squatters so towering condos can be built next to wood and tarpaper shacks, residents are fighting back, saying they are tired of foreign investors excluding local people from their own coast.
當警察試圖驅離違章建築的居民好讓高聳的公寓能在木頭與油紙搭建的棚屋旁興建時，居民展開回擊，說他們厭倦了外國投資客把當地民眾排除在自己的海岸外。
In the latest clash on July 27, police accompanying a backhoe fired tear gas and tried to knock down some squatters’ homes in the shadow of a new, balconied condo building.
在7月27日的最新一起衝突中，警察在反鏟挖土機助陣下，發射催淚瓦斯並在一棟有陽台的新公寓建築的陰影下，試圖推倒一些違建居民的家。
On a coast where unchecked resort development has already closed most public access to beaches _ there are only a few public access points on the 130 km stretch known as the Riviera Maya _ residents of the squatters’ camp may have reason to ask whether poorer Mexicans will be allowed here at all.
在毫無節制的渡假村開發已經關閉大多數民眾進入海灘的通道時，這片長130公里、被稱作馬雅蔚藍海岸的地帶上，違建居民或許有理由可以詢問，較貧窮的墨西哥人能否獲准來這裡。
