Little is known about the first inhabitants to cross over to the islands, but it is likely that they came across in search of a safe haven from attack.

The islands were first populated in larger numbers probably at the time of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland in the mid-17th century, when the Catholic population of Ireland had the choice of going “to hell or to Connacht”.

这些岛屿最早是在17世纪中叶克伦威尔式征服爱尔兰之时开始大量居住的，当时爱尔兰的天主教徒可以选择“下地狱或前往康纳赫特”。
Many fled to the numerous islands off the west coast of Ireland where they adapted themselves to the raw climatic conditions, developing a survival system of total self-sufficiency.

许多人逃到爱尔兰西海岸的众多岛屿，在那里他们适应了原始的气候条件，发展了完全自给自足的生存系统。
Their methods included mixing layers of sand and seaweed on top of rocks to create fertile soil, a technique used to grow potatoes and other vegetables.

他们的方法包括在岩石顶部混合沙子和海藻层以产生肥沃的土壤，这是一种用于种植土豆和其他蔬菜的技术。
The same seaweed method also provided grazing grass within stone-wall enclosures for cattle and sheep, which in turn provided wool and yarn to make handwoven trousers, skirts and jackets, hand-knitted sweaters, shawls, caps, and hide shoes.

相同的海藻方法还为牛和羊的石墙围墙提供了放牧草，又提供了羊毛和纱线来制造手工编织的裤子，裙子和夹克，手工编织的毛衣，披肩，帽子和皮鞋。
The islanders also constructed unique boats for fishing, building their thatched cottages from the materials available or trading with the mainland.

岛民还建造了独特的捕鱼船，利用可用的材料建造茅草房或与大陆进行贸易。
The Aran Islands are an official Gaeltacht, which gives full official status to Irish as the medium of all official services including education.
hā tǐ ěr nián shì jiā āi ěr tǎ hè tè de guān fāng zhèng fǔ ， tā fù yǔ ài ěr lán yǐ chōng fèn de guān fāng dì wèi ， shì bāo kuò jiào yù zài nèi de suǒ yǒu guān fāng fú wù de méi jiè。
阿兰群岛是加埃尔塔赫特的官方政府，它赋予爱尔兰以充分的官方地位，是包括教育在内的所有官方服务的媒介。
An unusually high rate of Irish-language monolingualism was found among senior natives until the end of the 20th century, in large part because of the isolating nature of the traditional trades practised and the natural isolation of the islands in general from mainland Ireland over the course of the Islands history.

直到20世纪末，在高级土著人中发现爱尔兰语一语种的比例异常高，这在很大程度上是由于传统贸易活动与世隔绝，以及在此过程中各岛与爱尔兰大陆的自然隔离群岛的历史。
Young Islanders can take their leaving examination at 18 on the islands and then most leave for third level education.
nián qīng de dǎo mín kě yǐ zài 18 suì de xiǎo dǎo shàng cān jiā lí zhí lí zhí ， rán hòu dà bù fēn rén jiē shòu sān jí jiào yù。
年轻的岛民可以在18岁的小岛上参加离职考试，然后大部分人接受三级教育。
Many blame the decline of Irish-speaking among young members of the island community on English-language television, available since the 1960s; furthermore, many younger islanders leave for the mainland when they come of age.

自1960年代以来，许多人将英语电视上的原因归咎于该岛社区年轻成员中爱尔兰语的衰落。此外，许多年轻的岛民成年后会前往大陆。
