我要坦白一件事 WILL: I've got a confession to make.
我从来没在湖里游过泳 I've never swum in a lake.
从来没爬过山 Never climbed a mountain.
我进过洞穴 一次 I was in a cave once.
我从来没在帐篷里睡过觉 And I've never slept in a tent.
但是我开始感觉 自己可能错过了一些东西 But I'm beginning to think that I might be missing something.
所以 我联系了几位现代探险家 So, I hooked up with some modern-day explorers
我让他们带我去世界的尽头 and I asked them to take me to the ends of the Earth.
他们说 “我们能去更远的地方” And they said, "Oh, we can go further than that. "
《带您探索地球》
南太平洋 坦纳
话说 我51岁了 却从没爬过山 So, I'm 51, and I haven't done any climbing whatsoever.
我一直有一个不为人知的幻想 我想登顶珠穆朗玛峰 And I've. . . I've always had this secret fantasy
that I wanted to summit Everest.
-我… 我想我们的年纪差不多吧 -Wh. . . ERIK: I think we're the same age, almost.
-是的 我9月25日出生 对 我是23日 -Yeah, I'm, uh, September 25th. Yeah, no, I'm the 23rd.
-真的吗？ 是的 -Really? ERIK: Yeah.
我比你多了两天的人生智慧 I have two days more of wisdom. . . ERIK: . . . in my life.
我成功的机会大吗？ 或者说…这是属于年轻人的活动？ WILL: What are my chances? Or. . . Or is that like a young man's game?
不 不是 我觉得你绝对能做到 ERIK: No, no, I think you could totally do it.
我在2001年攀登了珠穆朗玛峰 I climbed Everest in 2001.
我攀登了世界各地一些美丽的高山 I've gotten to climb some beautiful mountains around the world.
去过了各大洲最高的山脉 所以… Been to the tallest mountain on every continent, so. . .
-哇 是的 -Wow. Yeah.
杰克逊 那座火山叫什么名字？ So, Jackson, what's the name of the volcano?
-亚苏尔 亚苏尔 -Yasur. Yasur.
-亚苏尔 亚苏尔 是什么意思？ -Yasur. Yasur, what does that mean?
比我们更大的人 Someone bigger than us.
就像上帝比我们更大一样 所以 它更大 It's like, um, God to us. So, it's bigger.
所以我们现在有可能 正开车前往一座即将爆发的火山 So, we could be driving up there right now to a volcano that's about to erupt.
对 Right.
所以 我们确实会看到沸腾的熔岩 So, we're actually gonna see boiling lava.
-是的 好的 -Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
-我们正在进入火山灰地带 是的 -ERIK: So, we are entering the ash fields? JACKSON: Yes.
-所以是什么样的？没有植被而且… 是的 -So what? Vegetation is ending and. . . WILL: Yup.
是的 我们进入了火山灰区域？ Right, we're getting into the ash?
我可以听到它打在挡风玻璃上的声音 And I can hear it hitting the. . . the windshield.
是的 ERIK: Yeah.
这很吓人 WILL: This is scary.
-我可以向你保证你会能活着回来 好吧 -I almost guarantee you're gonna survive. All right.
和亚苏尔火山面对面 WILL: Face-to-face with Mount Yasur.
这是地球上最活跃的火山之一 One of the most active volcanoes on Earth.
但埃里克之所以认为我的好奇心 会比害怕更强烈还有一个原因 But there's another reason why Erik thinks I'll be more curious than scared.
首先 有史以来最大的声音 是由一座火山发出的 For one, the loudest sound ever recorded was made by a volcano.
但是这座火山发出的巨大声响 却是静寂无声的 But the loud sound that this volcano makes is completely silent.
是的 我知道 我也不明白 Yeah, I know. I don't understand it either.
埃里克·韦亨麦尔 探险家 登山者
你听到了吗？ -ERIK: Did you just hear it? WILL: What?
-什么？没听到 刚才有什么声音吗？ 是的 -Oh, no, there was a sound? Oh, damn it. ERIK: Yeah.
该死
一直回响到这里 ERIK: It echoed all the way across up there.
埃里克显然听到了 但他听到什么了？ WILL: Erik is clearly listening. But to what?
无声的咆哮
-我开始出汗了 是的 -ERIK: I'm officially sweating. WILL: Yeah.
你一定在开玩笑吧 WILL: You gotta be kidding me.
对吗？ -Right? ERIK: Yeah.
是的
站在火山边缘没事吧 你觉得呢？ -WILL: Is the edge okay, you think? ERIK: You tell me.
你说呢？
太不可思议了 That's crazy.
就好像在窥视地狱之门 WILL: Like looking into the gates of Hell.
你可以听到压缩的像撞击墙壁的声音 ERIK: You can hear the sound like compressing, like hitting the walls. . .
-是的 在下面 就像那个声音 -WILL: Yeah. ERIK: . . . down there. Like that!
现在有点暗了 是的 所以这… And it's kinda dark right now, right, so it's. . .
-是的 真的很亮 -Yeah. It's really lit up. WILL: Mm-hmm.
你似乎忘了埃里克完全失明了 You just kind of forget that Erik is completely blind.
我是说这是一个 攀登过珠穆朗玛峰的人 I mean, this a man who climbed Everest.
他刚刚徒步走上这座火山 脚都没绊到过一次 Who just hiked this volcano without a single stumble.
开车过来的路上 他甚至能区分景观何时发生变化 Who could even tell when the landscape changed on the drive over.
你…你会不知不觉忘记 直到他叫你描述给他听 You. . . You just kind of forget until he asks you to describe it to him.
是什么颜色的？橙红色？ And it's what colors, orange?
就好像橙红色的烟花从地里射出来 It's like orange fireworks shooting out of the ground.
是嘛 Uh-huh.
无法看到这个景象 会不会让你产生什么情绪？ Do you have any emotion around. . . not being able to see it?
你知道… You know. . .
我失明以后 曾经有一段时间 when I went blind, there was a time where you sort of regret
感觉遗憾 以及诸如此类的情绪 但是… and stuff like that, but. . .
最后 我想我认识到自己应该 eventually, I think I learned that you gotta sort of
告别失明前的生活 -say goodbye to that sighted life. Mm-hmm.
然后接受一种新的生活 And kinda take on a new life and, you know,
你身体的一部分死去了 一部分因此重生了 part of you dies, a part of you is reborn.
闭上眼睛 你听到什么？ ERIK: Close your eyes. What do you hear?
所以这声音跟大海的声音非常相似 就好像波浪拍击… So, it's really similar to the ocean. It's like waves crashing.
-潮涌潮退 还有… 对 没错 -Comes in and goes out and. . . Yeah. Totally.
在亚苏尔火山上 有这样一个声音频谱 ERIK: On Yasur, there's such a spectrum of sound.
有一种声音 你无需留心就能听到 There's this sound that you can consciously hear.
但是我开始感受到那个更深沉的声音 ERIK: But I'm beginning to feel this deeper sound.
听得不是很清楚 ERIK: You can't quite hear it.
但是你知道声音就来自你的脚下 But you kind of just know it's happening beneath you.
我和埃里克并不是唯一 正在寻找隐秘声音世界的人 WILL: Erik and I aren't the only ones looking for a hidden world of sound.
有新的一批探险家正前往世界尽头 There's a new breed of explorers going to the ends of the Earth
试图发现存在于 我们感知之外的隐秘世界 in an attempt to discover the hidden worlds
that sit beyond our senses.
他们中有些人奔赴更遥远的地方 比我更具胆量 And some of them are taking it way, way further than I would ever dare.

蒂娃·阿蒙 探险家 海洋生物学家
蒂娃·阿蒙近距离研究 地球上声音最大的动物 WILL: Diva Amon studies the loudest animal on the planet up close.
但是如此近距离 需要某些非常特别的技巧 But getting that near requires some pretty special skills.
你想听大海的声音就必须自由潜水 DIVA: When you want to listen to the sounds of the ocean,
you have to free dive.
没有氧气罐 安静多了 Without any oxygen tanks, it's so much quieter.
而且你不会呼出大量的气泡 气泡可能会把动物吓跑 And you don't exhale loads of bubbles, which can scare the animals off.
但你只能在水下待一口气的时间 But you can only stay under for as long as you can hold one breath.
通常你不会认为咔嗒声是噪音 DIVA: You don't normally think of clicks as noisy.
而这些咔嗒声比电锯还响 These ones, they're louder than a chainsaw.
这正是抹香鲸有趣的地方 DIVA: That's what makes sperm whales so interesting.
它们就是这么说话的 DIVA: It's their way of talking.
每一个咔嗒声包含了整段的信息 And each click contains whole paragraphs of information.
这些咔嗒声非常响 DIVA: The clicks are so loud
它们能够在海里传播几百里远 that they can carry across hundreds of miles of ocean.
抹香鲸还利用这些声音进行回声定位 DIVA: They can also use their clicks to echolocate. . .
或者扫描未知物体 or to scan unknown objects.
比如我 Like me.
这些声音是如此强大 你可以感觉到它震动并穿过你的身体 DIVA: The noise is so powerful. . . you can feel it pulse right through you.
天啊 FEMALE VOICE 1: Oh, my God, it was amazing! I actually felt that!
太神奇了 我真的感受到了！
你能感受到吗？ Could you feel them?
我真的感受到了我身体里的声呐信号
-简直… 太神奇了！ -FEMALE VOICE 1: It's just. . . FEMALE VOICE 2: Crazy!
你不是单单用这个听到声音 You don't just pick up sound with these. You can also pick it up here.
你还可以用这里听到
但如果我要通过我的身体来感受声音 But if I'm going to experience sound through my body,
那我就必须让我的身体离声音近一些 then I'm gonna have to get my body closer to the sound.
那就代表 离开这个火山口 到里面去 And that means stepping off the rim of this volcano and going in.
-你好 你好吗 兄弟？ -JEFFREY: Hello. WILL: What's up, man?
-我很好 很高兴见到你 好的 我很荣幸 兄弟 -I'm good. Real nice to meet you. All right, pleasure, man.
欢迎来到亚苏尔火山 Welcome to Yasur. Hey, Erik.
嘿 埃里克
-你好吗？ 你好吗？好极了 -How're you doing? Awesome.
-你好吗？ 很好 -How are you? Cool.
你应该是我遇到的第一个火山学家 WILL: I think you're my. . . my first volcanologist.
杰弗里·约翰逊 火山学家 JEFFREY: All right, cool.
好的 真不错 你以前去过哪座活火山吗？ So, uh, have you ever been to an active volcano before?
我没去过 WILL: I have not.
今天晚些时候 我们会下去 到火山口里去 Later on today, we're gonna be descending into the crater
然后我想让你帮我安装一些感应器 and then I'm. . . I'm gonna have you help me install some sensors.
我想我可以画一下示意图 Thought maybe I would draw this, uh. . . an illustration.
用棍子在火山灰上画 -Using a stick in the ash. Mind using this pole, so that I can feel?
你介意用这根棍子吗？ 这样我就能感觉到
-好的 我很乐意 好的 现在我就能感觉到你的动作 Um, yeah, love to do that. . . ERIK: All right, now I'll be able to feel you.
好极了 那就… Great, um, so, right, um. . .
这是一个大火山口 我现在画的是火山口边缘的弧形 Well, this is a big crater, and I'm drawing an arc of the crater rim,
这是一个直径约300米 或1000英尺的火山口 which is about a 300-meter or a 1, 000-foot diameter crater.
而我们稍后要做的就是 -ERIK: Mm-hmm. And what we'll be doing later
通过三个独立的绳索系统 下降到火山口里去 is descending via three independent rope systems down into the crater,
但不是直接到下面去 but not all the way down.
我们要先下降到一个理想的 地点去安装设备 So that we can get down to an ideal location
to install this apparatus.
事实上 下面有一块平整的地区 Uh, in fact, there's a bench right down here, a flat area,
我觉得对安装感应器来说很理想 that I think is ideal for the installation of the sensors.
那么 有什么潜在的危险吗？ So what. . . what are the, uh, potential dangers?
我最当心的事是确保这些火山灰不会 The thing I am most careful about is making sure none of this ash
-被吹进你的眼睛里 明白 -gets blown into your eyes. WILL: Got it.
-那就是小玻璃片 对吗？ 玻璃 -It's little pieces of glass, right? WILL: Glass.
对眼睛伤害很大 JEFFREY: Could really hurt your eyes.
所以随时备好护目镜、防毒面具 Uh, so, goggles, gas mask always at the ready.
WILL: Mm-hmm.
所以你是一个职业的火山学家 So, you're. . . you're. . . you're a volcanologist by trade.
所以你觉得到里面去轻松自在 So you feel comfortable going in there,
而且你会带你的学生 或者别的什么到火山口里去 对吗？ and you'd take your students or anything in there, right?
是的 我会带你进去 Yeah, I would take you in there.
-我没回答那个问题 我知道 是的 没错 -I didn't answer that question. I know, yeah, right.
-是的 但是… 天啊 -JEFFREY: Yeah, but. . . WILL: Oh, man.
感觉这是一个非常糟糕的笑话的开头 It sounds like the beginning of a really bad joke.
感觉就好像 好吧 It's like, okay, okay.
一个说唱歌手 一个盲人 和一个火山学家沿绳索滑进火山 A rapper, a blind man, and a volcanologist rappel down into a volcano.
但那就是我们要做的 帮助杰夫录下这座火山 But that's what we're gonna do. Help Jeff record the mystery sounds
发出的神秘声音 this volcano is making.
我之前看过你几次 你会打响指或者发出一个声音 WILL: I saw you a couple of times, and you'll, like, snap your fingers or make a sound.
是的 打响指 我会敲打我的拐杖 ERIK: Yeah, snap your fingers, I'll tap my cane,
或者有时候 人们会发出咔哒声 or sometimes, some people do a click.
声音越清晰越好 It's like. . . really like, the sharper the better.
你在进行回声定位？ -WILL: And you're. . . you're echolocating? ERIK: Yeah.
是的
那有用吗？ -WILL: And that works? ERIK: Yeah.
是的
在我上高一的前一周 我完全失明了 I went totally blind about a week before my freshman year in high school.
我还是个小男孩时 就被诊断患有称为青少年视网膜病变 I'd been diagnosed with this incredibly rare eye disease
这种极其罕见的眼疾 called "juvenile retinoschisis" as a young boy.
而在整个小学和初中阶段 And throughout elementary school and middle school,
我就看着世界在不断缩小 I just watched the world shrink away.
我苦苦挣扎了一段时间 I struggled for a while,
想着失去了视力 我就无法亲身经历很多事 thinking without sight I would be stuck on the sidelines of things.
但是听觉美好的地方在于 But the beauty of hearing is
你可以听到眼睛看不到的东西 that you can hear things that no eye could see.
眼前和身后的事你都能听得很清楚 You can hear behind you, uh, just as well as in front of you.
所以 是的 我的耳朵能看到各种各样 So, yeah, there's all kinds of things that I can see with my ears
你的眼睛所看不到的东西 that you may not be able to see with your eyes.
我猜想 这些石头 就是从火山里喷射出来 落在这里的 WILL: These rocks, I'm assuming, were fired out of the volcano and landed here.
是的 这是火山弹的绝佳例子 Yeah. This is a. . . This is a beautiful example of a spatter bomb.
-天啊 你知道它为什么是平的 对吧？ -WILL: Jeez. And, you know why it's flat, right?
-有点平 因为…它当时还没定型 -Flattish. Oh, because. . . So it was probably malleable.
-没错 然后它撞到地面开始 变扁了？ -Uh-huh. And then it hit and squashed down?
对 -That's right.
我猜那就是 正在我们头顶上喷射的东西？ ERIK: I'm guessing that's what's shooting above us right now?
是的 所以有喷发活动发生时 待在这里不安全 JEFFREY: Yeah, so, this is not a good place to be right now,
-刚才这一次动静很大 哇 -when there's elevated activity. Whoo! That seemed like a big one. Wow!
这些火山弹很大 Oh, whoa! Those spatter bombs are huge.
那一个喷得有多高？ -ERIK: How high did that one go? JEFFREY: Above our heads.
到我们头顶上
是的 WILL: Yeah.
很罕见的灾难性伤害 JEFFREY: The very rare potential for catastrophic harm
来自直接从火山口 直线向上喷发的火山弹 is a direct ballistic that goes from the vents straight shot up.
-是的 如果你在火山口边上俯身… -WILL: Yeah. And if you're leaning over the edge. . .
往前倾…明白了 是的 Leaning over. . . Got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
那可能会很严重 -. . . that would be potentially really bad. Absolutely.
没错
直线喷射让你猝不及防 JEFFREY: You don't have any warning when it's a straight shot.
我们被告知 听到火山喷发的声音时 WILL: We were told that when you hear the sound of the volcano
应该立即转身并留心火山弹 to immediately turn and take your eyes to the spatter bombs
因为它们向上喷射时是熔岩 但下落时就成了大石块 because they go up as lava but they come down as massive rocks.
我心想 那埃里克怎么办？ And I'm thinking. . . Well, what about Erik?
对拥有视力的人来说 ERIK: With a sighted person,
当他们看到物体运动时 他们的视觉皮层会亮起来 their visual cortex lights up when they're seeing motion.
对我来说 当我听到物体运动时 我的视觉皮层会亮起来 For me, my visual cortex lights up when I'm hearing motion.
我在脑海里创造出一个画面 所以 我仍然能看见 ERIK: I create a picture in my mind. So I still see,
但这些都基于声音 but it's all based on sound.
有一个办法能让我们都看见声音 WILL: There is a way that we can all see sound.
但这个方法并不适合胆小的人 But it's not for the fainthearted.
好 不要这么多 只要一点点
走吧 -Vámonos.
两颗行星在撞击时都变成了熔岩 FEMALE VOICE: Both planets became molten on impact.

每年2月份 圣胡安德拉维加的居民
参加应该是世界上最奇怪的节日之一 take part in what has to be one of the world's most bizarre festivals.
它看起来疯狂又危险 事实确实如此 WILL: It might seem crazy dangerous,
and it is.
这些剧烈的爆炸展示了 关于声音的一些关键信息 WILL: These violent explosions demonstrate something crucial about sound.
这解释了为什么即使你听不到 WILL: Something that explains why you can feel it
你却能感受到它 even if you can't hear it.
它能移动东西 It can move stuff.
声音不只是在空气中传播 WILL: Sound doesn't just travel through the air.
它引起了空气的移动 WILL: It causes movement of the air.
这些无形的力量甚至能把耳鼓震破 These invisible forces can even burst an eardrum.
因为声音是一种活动 Because sound is movement.
那就是埃里克在火山上感受到的 That is what Erik is feeling on our volcano.
在火山口下面 我有可能也将感受到 And down in the crater, it's just possible that I'll feel it too.
我们需要头盔 因为火山喷出石头之类的东西 Uh, and we need the helmet because the volcano spits rocks and stuff,
石头被抛射到空中 然后落下 and the rocks go up in the air, and then they come down.
它们会砸在你的头上 And they hit you in your head.
这头盔对这些大石块应该作用不大 -As if this helmet's gonna do something. . .
WILL: . . . for one of these big-ass rocks.
你也许会问我们到里面去做什么 答案就是 JEFFREY: You know, you might ask why we're going inside.
比起在火山口边沿 到火山口里面 我们更有可能 The answer is that we're getting the highest quality signals possible
获得最高质量的信号 if we go in the crater as opposed to up on the rim here.
真的 好烫啊 For real, that's hot.
现在我们马上就要下去了 WILL: Now that we're actually about to go down there,
我不禁想起几天前 I can't stop thinking, a few days ago without warning,
新西兰的一座火山突然喷发 22人丧生 a volcano erupted in New Zealand killing 22 people.
那座火山的喷发 是否跟这座火山有关系？ Now, does that volcano erupting mean anything about this one?
有遗言吗？ -JEFFREY: Any last words? Yeah, this is my action hero pose.
-这是我的动作英雄造型 是的
-埃里克 你准备好了吗？ 是的 好了 JEFFREY: Yeah. JEFFREY: Erik, you ready? ERIK: Yes, I'm in.
-威尔 准备好了？ 是的 先生 -JEFFREY: Will, ready? Yes, sir.
我也许疯了吧 I may have lost my mind.
这里有高温 有毒气体 玻璃 火山灰 天啊 连烟都来给你添乱 There's crazy heat, toxic gas, glass, ash. Hell, even the smoke is out to get you.
好了 抓好绳索 ERIK: All right, on rappel.
-好的 抓好绳索 各位 开始吧 -JEFFERY: All right, on rappel, guys. WILL: Let's do it.
你以前从没做过这种事吧？ JEFFREY: You've never done this before, huh?
真实的情境下没有过 WILL: Not for real.
-哇 这可是真实的 -WILL: Oh, wow. Yo. JEFFREY: This is for real.
哇
岩浆喷到火山口边沿上方了 WILL: Whoa! Hey, that's coming up over the rim.
是的 JEFFREY: Yeah.
我们快点做科学研究 WILL: Let's do the science quick.
天啊 ERIK: Oh, my God!
真是威力巨大 WILL: Oh, that's immense.
天啊 好吧 刚才那次动静最大了 Oh, my God! All right, that's the biggest one yet.
感觉到了吗？ -You feel that? ERIK: Hell, yeah.
当然
各位 我们尽快把这个东西排好 JEFFREY: Guys, um, let's get this array out as quickly as possible.
如果我们听到爆炸的巨响 一定要往火山口看 If we hear a big explosion, eyes towards the crater. . .
好 Yeah.
我们要尽可能小心 . . . and let's walk that out as carefully as you can.
威尔 你的身体感受到了吗？ JEFFREY: Will, did you feel that through your body?
是的 太厉害了 -Yeah, that's crazy. JEFFREY: Yeah.
-是的 就像… It's like a, uh. . .
-我在听到声音之前先感受到了震动 是的 就好像一股冲击波 -I felt the vibration before the sound. Right, it's like a shock wave
-在你听到之前先冲击你 冲击波先…是的 -that hits you before you hear it. A shock wave before you. . . Yeah.
威尔 你开始理解我现在的感受了？ ERIK: Will, are you starting to understand what I'm feeling?
我理解 -WILL: I get it.
刚才那一次 The last one that went,
我的耳鼓在震动 但我没听到声音 my eardrum wobbled, but I didn't hear a sound.
-但我感受到了震动的压力 是的 -But I felt the pressure of the wobble. JEFFREY: Oh, yeah.
我一直感觉到那种震动 我也说不清 Yeah, I feel that wobble like all the time. I don't know.
-你此刻感觉到震动吗？ 是的 我感觉到了 -Do. . . Do you feel that wobble right now? Yeah. Yeah, I feel it right now.
埃里克 我听不到你说的那个震动 Erik, I can't hear that wobble that you're discussing right now.
我对它不够敏感 I'm just not sensitive to it.
-但我相信你 是的 -But I believe you. Yeah.
因为装置显示的正是如此 Because this is what the device is telling us.
-对 我们把声音调大一点 -ERIK: Right. JEFFREY: And when we turn it up. . .
它正在把你感受到的震动 转化为能够听到的音调 JEFFREY: . . . this is generating audible tones from that wobble
that you're perceiving.
如果你能听到这个声音 那会像在凿岩机旁边一样吵 If you could hear this, it would be like you were next to a jackhammer.
-对 你不可能跟别人 -Right, right. JEFFREY: And you would not be able
进行交谈 to have a conversation.
你听到的是次声波 -What you're hearing is infrasound. Right.
对
说到低音 WILL: Talk about low. Infrasound is bass and then some.
次声波就是低音 还有其他的东西
所以 你感受到它的时候 你最好要注意了 So, when you feel it, you better pay attention.
什么？你说什么？ Huh? What did you say? Oh, we need to leave?
我们得走了？
好的 我听到了 -Okay, I heard you. I heard you. Infrasound just told you that?
次声波这么跟你说的？
次声波说我们必须离开这里 Infrasound said we need to get the hell out of here.
石头！ Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock!
你没事吧 埃里克？ You all right, Erik?
没事 ERIK: Yeah.
太神奇了 WILL: That's fantastic.
解读次声波可以帮助预测 像亚苏尔这样的火山何时会爆发 WILL: Decoding the infrasound could help predict
when volcanoes like Yasur will erupt.
但下面可能还有其他信息 But there might be other messages coming from down there.
声音能告诉我们 Sounds that could tell us something crucial about our world.
我们这个世界的重要信息

就像火山一样 这种声音可能代表它马上就要爆炸了 And just like the volcano might be signaling it's about to explode,
结冰的湖面能够警告我们冰有多薄 the sounds from a frozen lake can warn us how weak the ice is.
声调越高代表冰层越薄 Higher sounds mean thinner ice.
你觉得冰面撑得住吗？
是的 我觉得可以

一丁点压力就能做到 just the tiniest bit of pressure can do it.
声音在固体表面传播得更快更远 Sound travels faster and much further through solid surfaces.
所以 现在你知道了 为什么在牛仔老电影里 So, now you know why in old cowboy movies,

好的 好 我很期待 Ah, okay, cool. I'm excited.
好的 我们来到第一个关口
我们去另一边
然后我们就位
接着把袋子传过来
好 MICHEL: Okay.
好 我们下去 All right. Down we go.
地表下250米
拿着 -Get this. Thank you so much.
非常感谢
你还要吗？我可以装… -Do you want some more? I can fill. Ah, sure, thank you.
好的 谢谢
这个声音是谁发出来的？
是的 是这一个
-因为现在它不再发出声音了 是的
我们现在所经历的这个现象 是我们的大脑不想让 The phenomenon that we experience here is that our brain doesn't want us
我们经历这种沉寂 但是如果你注意的话 to experience the silence. But if you pay attention,
如果我们保持安静 我们就能听到 if we. . . if we keep silence, then we still hear
水滴落的声音 the, uh, water dropping.
-好的 试试吧 -Okay. Just. . . Just try it.
这可能会是我们听到的最后声音 MICHEL: This is probably the last sound that we're gonna hear now.
直到我们到达那个 我们希望能找到绝对沉寂的地方 -EXPLORER: Uh-huh. Until we get to the place where we hope to find the virtual silence.
好的 那我们继续走？ EXPLORER: Okay. So, we keep going now?
-去更深的地方 好的 对 去更深的地方 -Just deeper. All right. Yes. Yeah. Going deeper.
地面下457米
看来我们找到了 It looks like we, uh. . . we found it.
哇 Wow!
嘿 各位 我们先安静一下 Hey, guys, let's. . . let's try to, uh, be quiet for a minute

自然而然 寂静无声 MICHEL: Naturally nothing.
-是的 对 -Yeah. Yeah.
-哇 是的 不错 很奇妙 -Wow! Yeah, nice and pretty amazing.

比你的呼吸还要轻 quieter than your breathing, quieter than your heart beating,
比你的心跳声还要轻
那你要么只能停止那些活动 then you either have to stop those things
要么就去一个非常僻静的地方 or get the hell out of the way.
那样的话 你可能有机会听到 That way, you might just have a chance of hearing something
没有人听过的声音 no one's ever heard before.
来自大山深处的声音 WILL: Sounds from deep within the mountains.
事实上 人们认为这是 It's actually thought to be the sound
月球的引力在拉引山脉的声音 of the moon's gravity dragging the mountains.
月亮拉引海水产生潮汐 The moon pulls on the sea to create tides.
原来对陆地的作用是一样的 It turns out, it does the same to the land.
移动的不仅仅是山脉 And it's not just the mountains that are moving.

不同层次的声音 WILL: The layers of sound.
我能感觉到自己的听觉更敏锐了 WILL: I could feel my hearing turn up.
我被调试去倾听包罗万象的声音 I was tuned into a. . . a whole world of sound
虽然我是一个音乐人 却不曾听到过那些声音 that even as a musician had been hidden from me.
我很自豪能够让威尔 ERIK: I feel pretty proud that I was able to give Will
了解我的经历 a little glimpse into my experience.
不仅仅是被世界上 那些视觉事物所震撼 To not just be wowed by all the visual things in the world,
而是能够真正听到微妙的声音 还有美丽以及狂暴的事物 but to actually be able to hear subtleties and beautiful things and violent things.
视觉只是现实的一小部分 Sight is just a sliver of reality.

是的 就像熔岩在火山里熔化 沸腾… Yes. Exactly how the. . . the lava is melting inside, like, boiling. . .
这就是为什么 有时候你会听到这样的声音 So that's why. . . Sometimes you can hear it like this.
舞蹈反映了火山的声音 WILL: The dance mirrors the sounds of the volcano.
拍手的声音就是爆炸的声音 -The claps are the explosions.
踩踏声则是次声波 WILL: The stomps are infrasound.
整个舞蹈就是在赞美每天从他们身体 The whole thing celebrates the sounds that pass through their bodies
穿过的那些声音 every single day.
哇 WILL: Wow!
你要我跳舞？好的 来吧 You want me to go? All right, let's go.
大家一起来 一起跳吧 Everybody up. Let's get it.

地球上的一切都在发出声音 WILL: Everything on Earth is making a sound.
所有一切事物 Each and every thing.
