25 years ago, Saroo Brierley became separated from his family in India, was declared a "lost child" and placed in an orphanage. Today, thanks in part to Google Earth, he's finally been reunited with his family!
25年前,印度男子Saroo Brierley与家人走失后,以“走失儿童”的身份在一家孤儿院长大。今天,靠着高科技的Google Earth,他竟然与失散了25年的家人重聚了!

Despite only being five years old when he boarded the wrong train and couldn't find his way back home, Saroo remembered the town was he was raised: "I kept in my head the images of the town I grew up in, the streets I used to wander and the faces of my family, I treasured those memories," he said.
当年只有5岁的Saroo Brierley因坐错了火车而与家人失去了联系。但是,Saroo Brierley始终记得家乡的样子,他说,“我始终记得生我养我的故乡的模样,那些我走过的街道,家人的样子,我十分珍惜这些记忆。”

For the past 10 years, he's scoured the internet looking for clues that might lead him home. He's spent "many hours" in Google Earth zooming around to try to find something familiar. He remembered the Khandwa train station, which eventually lead him to where his family was located.
在过去的10年里,Saroo Brierley用互联网几乎查遍了所有可能与他家有关的线索。他每天要花大量时间在Google Earth上浏览,看看有没有熟悉的地方。他记得那个走失的火车站,最终就是通过这一点才使得他与家人团聚。

It's quite an amazing story, and another example of the ways that Google Earth can be used to bring people together.
这个故事太神奇了!它再次证明Goole Earth有助人团聚的奇妙功能。
