Dock and Palm Trees, Tahiti
Photograph by Jodi Cobb

A dock juts out to a small palm island, surrounded by the jewel-blue waters of Tahiti. Tahiti is just one of 118 islands and atolls that make up French Polynesia, a semi-autonomous territory of France. With its claim here and on other Pacific territories, France is the second largest presence (after the United States) in the Pacific.

塔希提宝蓝色的海水围绕着一个突出于小棕榈岛的码头。塔希提岛只是组成法国的一块半自治领土法属波利尼西亚的118座岛屿和环礁之一。凭借对这里和其它太平洋上领土享有的主权，法国是太平洋上第二（仅次于美国）大势力。
