冰凍星球第一集字幕

1、Over one third of our planet is frozen, and yet, the icy worlds of the Arctic and Antarctic are as alien to most of us as the surface of another planet.我們星球的三分之一是冰凍的,然而,南極和北極的冰冷世界對(duì)我們大多數(shù)人來說非常陌生，就像另一個(gè)星球一樣。 There are places of superlatives. From ice caps that hold nearly eighty percent of our planets f

2、resh water to frozen forests that encircle the entire globe.這里是最高級(jí)的地方。從持有近百分之八十我們星球的淡水的冰帽到環(huán)抱整個(gè)星球的冰凍森林，這里應(yīng)有盡有。These are places that feed our imaginations, places that seem to be borrowed from fairy tales. Theyre dominated and shaped by the ice, both by its coming and by its going.這些地方讓我們的想象力天馬行空,這些地方

3、又好像來自童話故事中。一切都被奇形怪狀難以捉摸，來無影去無蹤的冰所統(tǒng)治著。This is our planets last true wilderness and one that is changing just as were beginning to understand it.這是我們星球上的最后一片真正的荒野,改變之一就是我們開始理解它。 In this series, well be travelling to all parts of these lonely lands, both north and south, to witness its wonders perhaps

4、for the last time and to discover some extraordinary examples of survival against all the odds, as can be found anywhere on the planet.在這個(gè)系列中,我們將前往這一孤獨(dú)地域的所有地方，無論是北方還是南方，帶領(lǐng)您見證也許是最后一次的奇跡,去發(fā)現(xiàn)一些異乎尋常的反對(duì)世界常理生存下來的奇跡。The poles are permanently capped with ice. Nowhere is colder, windier or more hostile to li

5、fe.兩極被永久覆蓋著冰。沒有不冷的地方，而在這種條件下生命很難存活I(lǐng)m standing at the north pole, the very top of the earth. Up here, is easing sea while the polar regions are so cold. The sun never rises higher enough in the sky to warm my back. And those rays do strike the surface, eventually reflected back from these white wildn

6、ess. But the fundamental problem is that theres no sun here at all for half the year.我站在地球的最頂端北極。這里是非常寒冷的極地地區(qū)。太陽永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)天空中升起很高來使我的背保持溫暖。光線只是射到地面而已,最終還會(huì)從白茫茫的荒野中反射回去。但根本的問題是,這里一年中的一半根本沒有太陽。 The polar winter is unrivaled in its harshness, a night that lasts for months. Only the toughest day as temperature

7、s plunge to minus 70 degree centigrade. And yet, the greatest challenge survive here is not the cold, but the extreme swings between the seasons.極地冬季是無與倫比的荒蕪,一個(gè)晚上就像好幾個(gè)月一樣。最艱難的一天氣溫降至零下70攝氏度。然而在這里生存的最大挑戰(zhàn)并不是寒冷,而是極端季節(jié)之間的變化。 When the sun finally returns, an extraordinary transformation begins. This froze

8、n world begins to melt away. The polar sping bings a brief opportunity for life. By summer, the sun no longer sets and works its magic for 24 hours a day. Now its a race to breed before the sun departs. By autumn, all but the hardest abandon the poles and the ice extends script. And the sea closes d

9、own for the long polar winter until once again the sun returns.當(dāng)太陽終于返回,一個(gè)異乎尋常的變革開始。這個(gè)冰冷的世界開始融化。極地春天為生命帶來了短暫的機(jī)會(huì)。到了夏天,太陽不再光顧而且不會(huì)出現(xiàn)一天24小時(shí)的情況。所以物種們現(xiàn)在要在太陽離去前繁衍生息。到了秋天,只有冰冷的兩極而且冰層開始延伸。海水在冬季結(jié)冰直到太陽再次返回。 Its spring in the high arctic and the sun illuminates a giant frozen ocean, the first stop on our journey

10、. The most powerful land predator is on the prowl.這是春天的北極高地，太陽照亮一個(gè)巨大的冰凍的海洋,我們旅程的第一站就是這里。最強(qiáng)大的陸地捕食者被放出來了。 Few have witnessed this moment, for the male, his only tender encounter in the otherwise solitary life . But it doesnt last long , a rival suitor has also caught the female scent ,catch ,pass me ,

11、put on hold, he must fight for his rights.He sees off the first challenge without injury to either party,but bloodier battles are to come. Another battle won, though he has been slightly injured ,he headed back to his mate, but now she seems to have lost enthusiasm, female polar bears are high maint

13、那位追逐的男性,他唯一的溫柔遇到離群索居的生活。但這不會(huì)持續(xù)太久,對(duì)手也被女性的香味吸引,要想過去就必須過我這關(guān),他要為自己的權(quán)利而戰(zhàn)。他的第一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)沒有讓他受傷,但血腥的戰(zhàn)斗馬上就要來到。贏得了另一場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗,盡管他稍微受了一點(diǎn)傷,他仍然朝伴侶走去,但現(xiàn)在她似乎已經(jīng)失去了激情,因?yàn)槟副睒O熊極為高調(diào)。無論她走到哪兒,他都會(huì)跟隨,交配,她會(huì)允許及保護(hù)她。接下來的2周,男性將會(huì)同許多對(duì)手戰(zhàn)斗,人數(shù)上不占優(yōu)勢(shì)，而且他幾乎精疲力竭,但他并不確定其他的熊是否對(duì)他的伴侶感興趣。Its time for the couples to go their separate ways.這對(duì)情侶是時(shí)候分開了。She w

14、ill give birth to his cubs alone in 9 months time.她將要用9個(gè)月的時(shí)間獨(dú)自生下他的幼崽。And he may never see her again. He returns to the frozen ocean, no doubt releaved to resume his solid few ways.也許他再也見不到她了。他回到冰凍的海洋,毫無疑問繼續(xù)自己的堅(jiān)忍生活。And just in time. The ice beneath the feet will soon begone.而且就在這個(gè)時(shí)候，腳下的冰很快就會(huì)消失殆盡。Each

15、 spring, the Antarctic ocean undergoes an extraordinary transformation. An area of sea ice the size as Europe melts exposing the rich water beneath.每年春天,北冰洋都會(huì)經(jīng)歷一次非凡的轉(zhuǎn)變。一個(gè)歐洲區(qū)域大小的海冰即將融化后，下面大量的海水會(huì)嶄露頭角。 Short tail shear waters have traveled ten thousands miles from Australia to be here.短尾海鷗旅行千萬里才從澳大利亞到這

16、里來。 Eighty millions visitors darken the sky, the largest gathering of seabirds on the planet. 八千萬的旅行者們將天空變暗,最大的海鳥在這個(gè)星球上聚會(huì)。 Hold by whales come all the way from the equator to feed the rich polar waters.鯨魚專程為了這豐富的極地水域從赤道而來。 Their giant tails are 5 meters across.它們巨大的尾巴有5米寬。 Simply rising them above u

17、p in the surface give the whales enough downward momentum to reach the great swarm of krill and herring below.簡(jiǎn)簡(jiǎn)單單在海面上提高自己一點(diǎn)，就給了鯨魚足夠時(shí)間大口呼吸。 The shear waters find the giant lead.海鷗發(fā)現(xiàn)這一龐然大物正處于領(lǐng)先。For those who can get here in summer, this waters provide a feast of epic proportions.But the good times wi

18、ll be very short, a problem that traces all life in the polar regions.Journeying south across the Arctic ocean, the first land you reach is Greenland, the largest island in the world.Despite its name, Greenland is mostly white, covered by a giant ice sheet, six times the size of United Kingdom.In th

19、e middle of the island, the ice is nearly two miles thick.It is a bleak, quiet world. Sapphire-blue, melt lakes are the first sign that the dynamic process is underway.Each lake forms in a matter of days, expanding until its miles across and starts to overflow.The slow water then carves its way thro

20、ugh the ice.The water crosses through an icy delta, like blood along the arteries of a cold-blooded monster, a monster that is stirring.And without warning the water suddenly plunges down an open shaft, falling a vertical mile into the heart of the ice sheet.This melt water has a surprising effect.

21、It lubricates the junction between the ice and the rock floor beneath, so the entire ice sheet is now on the move, sliding down hill into the ocean.對(duì)于那些夏天能到這來的動(dòng)物來說,這水提供了一個(gè)空前絕后的盛宴。但是過去的好時(shí)光短暫,所有極地地區(qū)的生命群體都面臨一個(gè)問題。從北冰洋南部啟程,你到達(dá)的第一片土地是達(dá)格陵蘭島, 這是世界上最大的島嶼。除了它的名字,格陵蘭島主要是白色的,由巨大的冰層覆蓋,是英國的六倍。在島中央，冰幾乎有兩英里厚。這是一個(gè)冰冷

22、,安靜的世界。天藍(lán)色，融化湖泊是第一個(gè)跡象，它表明動(dòng)態(tài)過程正在進(jìn)行中。每一個(gè)湖在幾天之內(nèi)形成,擴(kuò)展直到幾英里寬,之后開始溢出。緩慢的水然后通過冰開始被雕刻。水通過一個(gè)冰冷的三角洲,就像隨著血液隨著動(dòng)脈流入身體的冷血怪物一樣,這是一只正在攪拌的怪物。而且沒有預(yù)告，水突然奔流不止，垂直下降到冰層的中心。融化的水有令人驚訝的效果。它潤(rùn)滑冰和巖石地板下的結(jié)合處,所以整個(gè)冰層正在移動(dòng),滑進(jìn)大海。This, Jakobshavn Isbrae, is the fastest flowing glacier on our planet, moving as much as 14 meters a day.

23、As it advances, it destroys everything in its pass, even cutting its way through Greenlands great mountain ranges on its drive downwards towards the sea. When speeded up, these solid rivers of ice seem to flow, just like liquid rivers. This is the Titanic force that cuts down mountains and levels th

24、e surface of continents. The ice is now entering the last stage of its descent. As it gains speed, huge crevasses open that extend out its very core. It reaches the ocean and millions of tons of ice have lost the support of their rocky bed. Something must give. This ice falls are an ominous sign of

25、what is about to happen, a rupture deep within the glacier.Jakobshavn Isbrae是在我們星球上流動(dòng)最快的冰川,移動(dòng)速度一天可以達(dá)到14米。因?yàn)樗奶崆?它摧毀經(jīng)過的一切,甚至在朝向大海時(shí)也切斷了流經(jīng)格陵蘭偉大的山脈。當(dāng)加速時(shí),這些固體冰川看起來似乎流動(dòng),就像液體的河流一樣。這是泰坦尼克號(hào)的力量,切割山脈及減少大陸的表面。冰現(xiàn)在正進(jìn)入最后階段。因?yàn)樗@得速度,巨大的自身打開并延伸至中心。它到達(dá)海洋,數(shù)百萬噸的冰已經(jīng)失去了巖床的支持上。一定要獻(xiàn)出某些東西方才罷休。這個(gè)冰瀑布是一種即將發(fā)生不祥的暗號(hào),破裂正在冰川深處開始。A c

26、olossal iceberg is born. This single block of ice, many hundreds of meters across, would toss the biggest mankind buildings. Every year, tens of thousands of icebergs are spooned by Greenlands glaciers and the number is steady increasing as the climate continues the warm. The breakup of the bergs fa

27、ils the base of the Arctic with exquisite ice sculptures. It also releases great volume of cold fresh water into the sea. Greenlands melt water influences the course of the ocean currents which in turn has an effect on the weather around the world.巨大的冰山形成。這單一的冰有數(shù)百米寬,甚至和最大的人類建筑相媲美。每年成千上萬的冰山由格陵蘭的冰川及持續(xù)

28、穩(wěn)步變暖的氣候形成。冰川融化分裂,在北極四處可見精湛的天然冰雕。大量的冷水被融化流進(jìn)大海。格陵蘭島融水影響洋流,反過來作用于世界的天氣。 The Arctic is closer to home than many of us realize. It can conclude the northern most parts of the three continents on which most of us live, Europa, Asia and North America.北極比許多人所意識(shí)到的離家更近。它可以終結(jié)北部的大部分地區(qū),即三個(gè)大洲,我們大多數(shù)人生活的歐洲、亞洲和北美洲。

29、The first barren land we reach our journey south is a bleak treeless wilderness known as tundra. Each spring, animals travel up from the south to be ready for the rich grazing that will be unveiled by the spring melt. To the calibo, the timing is critical. Arriving earlier and winter storm could kil

30、l you.Delay too long and you may fail to lay down the fat needed to survive the polar winter.我們的旅程到達(dá)第一個(gè)不毛之地,南邊是一個(gè)荒涼沒有植被被稱為苔原的曠野。每年春天,動(dòng)物從南方旅行等待春天的到來。時(shí)間至關(guān)重要的。早些時(shí)候到達(dá),冬季風(fēng)暴可能會(huì)要了你的命。拖得太久,你就不能儲(chǔ)存需要在極地冬季生存的脂肪。The bisons form a defense circle around their young, horns pointing outwards.

32、ck for the wolves. The kill will feed the pack for sevaral days, but then they will have to resume the chase, at the frozen end of our planet, the struggle for survival never eases. South of the treeline, the winters are shorter, so trees grow faster and taller, and forests begin to appear.野牛圍繞幼仔角朝外

33、形成防御網(wǎng)。狼需要野牛自我暴露弱點(diǎn),但現(xiàn)在形勢(shì)扭轉(zhuǎn),現(xiàn)在狼準(zhǔn)備撤退,他們的注意力聚焦在牛群的最后,野牛開始奪命奔逃,一只年輕的野牛落在后面,即使這樣狼群仍然繼續(xù)追逐,牛群只想到逃跑,運(yùn)氣轉(zhuǎn)眼間到了狼這邊。這些天蓄積的殺戮被完全釋放,然后他們將繼續(xù)追捕,在我們這個(gè)冷凍的星球,生存永遠(yuǎn)都是不易。南部的山林由于冬季較短,所以樹長(zhǎng)得更快、更高、森林開始出現(xiàn)。As the warm humid air from the south meet the cold Arctic, the moisture is crystalized and snowflakes form from the sky. Eac

34、h crystal froms around a particle of dust. All have a six-fold symmetry, but no two have ever been found with exactly the same shape. Their variety and complexity is breathtaking.Each snowflake is water waiting to be released in spring. For this reason, snow is the lifeblood of these silent forests

35、and all that live here depend on it in one way or another. Some, like the great grey owl, appear in spring for the booming times then vanish like phantoms. Others, like their lemming prey, are here year around beneath the snow, insulated from the cold air above.The northern forests are across road f

36、or seasonal visitors and Arctic specialists. But they are so much more than this. Together they make up the tiger an unbreaking forest that stretches seven thousand miles around our planet and contains 1/3 of all trees on earth.當(dāng)南方溫暖潮濕的空氣遭遇極地的寒冷,天空出現(xiàn)了由濕氣形成的冰晶及雪花。每一片水晶都是由灰塵粒子組成。兩者都是對(duì)稱的六邊形,但沒有兩片是一模一樣的

37、形狀。他們的多樣性和復(fù)雜性令人為之驚訝。每片雪花都是等著春天被釋放的水。因?yàn)檫@個(gè)原因,雪是這些靜默森林及一切在這里以這樣或那樣的方式生存生命的源泉。一些動(dòng)物,比如這頭灰色貓頭鷹,在春天萬物復(fù)蘇時(shí)出現(xiàn),然后像幽靈般消失。而其他動(dòng)物,就像其獵物一樣,常年在雪下隔絕上面的冷空氣。北方森林主要由季節(jié)性的游客和北極專家組成。但是卻遠(yuǎn)不止此。他們一起構(gòu)成了一個(gè)綿延七千英里的不可侵犯的森林,包含我們這個(gè)星球所有的樹木的1/3The tiger forest marks the end of our journey through the Arctic, from the frozen ocean down

38、across the lands that surround it. The other end of our planet, the Antarctic is starkly different, a frozen continent completely surrounded by ocean. Icebergs here are so large that theyre measured in miles, not meters. They are the only obstacles in the path of giant waves which circle around the

39、continent untramped by other lands.老虎森林標(biāo)志著我們北冰洋旅程的終點(diǎn),冰凍海洋包圍了它。而在地球的另一端,南極就顯得與眾不同,是完全由海洋包圍的凍土大陸。這里的冰山非常巨大以致于它們要用英里來丈量,而不是米。它們是大陸間的唯一障礙。 These seas may be cold and storm-racked, but they are bursting with life. No bird is more at home in water and they are masterful surfers. Penguins are found only in

40、 the southern hemisphere. They cant fly, but they dont need to. There are no polar bears here. These are gentoo penguins. Each spring they come ashore to lay their eggs and rear their young. Their hungry chicks demands so much seafood that both parents have to go fishing.這些海洋寒冷異常,但盡管如此,這里也有生命頑強(qiáng)的生存。沒

41、有鳥在水中安家落戶，但它們都是沖浪高手。企鵝只有在南半球才有。這種動(dòng)物不能飛,它們也不需要。因?yàn)樵谶@里沒有北極熊。這些是頰帶企鵝。每年春天它們上岸產(chǎn)卵。它們饑餓的幼仔饑餓難耐的叫喊著,父母雙方都要去捕魚。And fishing can be dangerous. A southern sea lion. It uses the speed of a breaking wave to catch up the gentoos. Sea lions normally eat fish. So he is used to catching stream-line swimmers. But the

42、gentoos seem more than his match-up at sea. He must change tactics. Perhaps it would be easier in the shallows. But, no, it seems penguins are uncatchable in water. How about on land? The penguins wings are so powerful for swimming, but of no help when it comes to running. Now surely the sea lion ha

43、s a chance. But on the beach both are like fish out of water. Rarely do hunter unhunted play their roles with so little skill. The outcome is anyones guess.捕魚無疑異常危險(xiǎn)。南方的海獅用其無與倫比的速度追上了巴布亞企鵝。海獅通常吃魚。所以他會(huì)捕捉流線型的游泳者。但是巴布亞企鵝似乎更符合其要求。他必須改變戰(zhàn)術(shù)。也許在淺灘會(huì)比較容易。但是,不,看情況企鵝是在水里是不可能被抓住的。但在陸地上會(huì)如何呢?企鵝的翅膀看似就是天生為游泳而準(zhǔn)備,但它在跑的

44、時(shí)候卻根本不起一點(diǎn)作用?，F(xiàn)在機(jī)會(huì)降臨到了這只海獅身上。但在地面上都喜歡離開水的魚。很少有獵人不用一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)技巧打獵。結(jié)果則仁者見仁,智者見智。Every summer, over 40 million penguins take to the southern ocean to feed. They are joined by thousands of whales. Minkes are the most numerous. They all come here to harvest the richest ocean on earth. Carrying on south, we have o

45、ur first our glimpse of the frozen continent. Southern humpbacks of travelling four thousand miles from the equator, are finally arriving in Antartic.每年夏天,超過4000萬只企鵝要去南大洋進(jìn)食。成千上萬的鯨魚加入到它們的行列中。小須鯨是當(dāng)中數(shù)量最眾多的。它們來這地球上最富有的海洋收獲。在南方,我們第一次瞥見了冰凍大陸。南部座頭鯨從赤道旅行了四千英里,最終抵達(dá)南極。 Humans have long felt the lure of this m

46、ysterious world. Yet it was only a hundred years ago that the first explorers walked inland and were confronted by the highest, driest and coldest territory on earth. Every year the continent is transformed, as the sea ice that surrounds it begins to disappear. This melt halves the size of Antartic.

47、 Its the most spectacular seasonal change occuring anywhere on our planet.人類很久以來已受到這個(gè)神秘世界的感召。然而僅在一百年前,第一位探險(xiǎn)家走進(jìn)內(nèi)陸，迎接地球上最高、最干及最冷的土地的挑戰(zhàn)。由于圍繞著它的海冰開始消失，每年這片大陸都在變化。南極在逐漸融化。這是發(fā)生在我們的星球上最壯觀的季節(jié)變化。The remnants of the sea ice are occupied by sun-bathing seals that have been here all winter. But new arrivals are

48、 following the retreating ice edge and they have come here to hunt. Killer whales, the oceans top predator, killers are like wolves for they will hunt animals far larger than themselves. But even smaller prey are a problem if you cant reach them. The solution is teamwork. Swimming in perfect formati

49、on, they flick their tails in unison and create a wave that cracks the ice. They regroup and recess the damage. A more powerful wave is needed. The ice floe is breaking up. Now they are close enough to get a good look at their target. The seal is a crabeater, sharp-toothed and feisty, not their favo

50、urite. The wolves of sea move on in search of an easier quarry. A Weddell seal, thats better. These are more docile and easier to tackle. The part stays close together and travels silently. This time they unleash a far more powerful wave and with astonishing accuracy. These big waves are not intende
