This first time, a man named Richard Greville took a group of people to Roanoke Island and then went back to England to get supplies,
首先是一位名叫理查德·格雷维尔带领了一群人来到罗阿诺克岛，然后他回到英国置办补给，
which are the things that people need to survive, like food, cloth, and tools.
也就是人们维持生存需要的物品，比如食物、衣服和工具。
However, his return to Roanoke Island was delayed (or happened later than the people had expected).
然而，他返回罗阿诺克岛的日期被推迟了（或在人们的意料之外发生的事情）。
Without these important supplies, the people who lived there decided to leave the island when they had an opportunity and went back to England.
没有了那些重要的补给，当生活在该岛的人有机会回到英国时，他们便决定离开那里。
In 1587, another group was left on Roanoke Island and the leader, John White, went back to England for supplies.
1587年，又有一群人在罗阿诺克岛留了下来，他们的领导约翰·怀特因为补给而回到英国。
But he was not able to come back as quickly as he had planned,
但他没有像他计划的那样尽快回到该岛，
because England was at war with (or fighting with) Spain and wanted to have all the ships for that war.
因为英国在跟西班牙打仗，所有的船只都被征去打仗了。
John wasn't able to go back to Roanoke Island until 1590, three years after he had left.
约翰直到1590年才回到罗阿诺克岛，也是就是他离开后的第三年。
When he got there, everyone had disappeared, meaning that no one was there.
当他到达那里时，人迹全无，也就是说没有人在那里。
Nobody knew where they had gone.
没有人知道他们的行踪。
Some people think that the colonists might have been killed or kidnapped (or taken away) by Native Americans.

Other people think that they might have died in a storm while trying to go to another island.
还有的人认为他们可能在尝试去另一个岛的途中，在暴风雨中遇难了。
We will probably never know the true fate (or what actually happened) of the 117 people on the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island.
我们可能永远都不会知道在消失的罗阿诺克岛殖民地上的那117个人的真实命运（或究竟发生了什么）。
