Alan Kozlowski purchad a strip of untouched, oceanfront land on the southern tip of the Thai island of Koh Samui in 2005 and spent the next couple of years -- and about $3.5 million -- constructing an eight-bedroom vacation hou.
2005年，阿兰•科兹洛夫斯基(Alan Kozlowski)在泰国苏梅岛(Koh Samui)的南端购置了一块未经开发的滨海土地。在接下来的几年中，他斥资大约350万美元在这块土地上建成了一栋有八间卧室的度假屋。
The 64-year-old filmmaker was drawn to the forested land becau of its ocean views, natural tting and the ability to have a feature rarely en in his home state of California: beachside pavilions, including a fully expod dining area and a yoga space that opens to the tropical breezes and expansive South China Sea views.
这片郁郁葱葱的土地之所以吸引这位现年64岁的电影制片人是因为其壮阔的海景、周边的自
然环境以及在其老家美国加州罕见的一种特色建筑：海滨凉亭，其中包括完全暴露在室外的用餐区和一块练习瑜伽的空间。此间，热带海风毫无遮挡地吹着，壮阔的南中国海海景就在眼前。

但没想到的是，眼镜蛇也“住”了进来，成了他的“室友”。

Open-air living -- homes with spaces completely or partially expod to the outdoors -- was part of what drew Mr. Kozlowski to Southeast Asia, but, as he quickly discovered, it also meant new roommates. In addition to the snake, there were bats, foot-long geckos and flying beetles encroaching on the property.
露天起居是吸引科兹洛夫斯基来到东南亚居住的部分原因。但他很快就发现，这同时意味着你有了新的“室友”。除了蛇，还有蝙蝠、长脚壁虎和四处飞窜的甲虫与你比邻而居。所谓“露天起居”是指你的家中有一些空间完全或部分暴露在室外。
'You're in the tropics, on their land. You have to make friends with them, ' said Mr. Kozlow
ski, who rents out the home he calls Samudra when not vacationing there. As for the cobra, he had it removed from the property. 'I have a no-kill policy, ' he says.
科兹洛夫斯基说，“你在热带地区，这里是它们的地盘。你必须学会和他们交朋友。”不在泰国度假的时候，科兹洛夫斯基会将这栋他称之为“萨穆德拉”(Samudra)英语三级成绩的屋子租出去。至于前面提到的眼镜蛇，他已将其从房中“请”了出去。他说，我的原则是“不杀生”。
Though forms of open-air living have long existed in Southeast Asia, more overas homeowners are showing an interest in hous from Thailand to Vietnam and Indonesia, bringing elaborate designs that integrate nature into daily living. Bedrooms might have retractable doors on an entire wall. Or roofless bathrooms with showerheads protruding from a large boulder or tree branches that cascade over the tub.
在东南亚，露天起居的生活方式早已存在，但越来越多的海外房主对泰国、越南和印尼的海滨房产表示出了兴趣。他们带来了种种将自然融入日常生活的精心设计：卧室的伸缩门可能占据了一整面 ；没有屋顶的浴室中，淋浴喷头可能安装在一块突出的大石头上，或悬垂于浴缸上方的树枝上。

But the idyllic, natural lifestyle they conjure can be a little too natural, and at odds with the realities of living in tropical climates.
但房主们祈求的这种田园诗般的自然生活方式可能有点太过原生，它与在热带气候条件下生活的现实不相一致。
Mr. Kozlowski isn't the only one with critter problems.
科兹洛夫斯基并非唯一受野生物种“亲近”的屋主之一。
