我还是个孩子的时候 我的外婆经常说 WILL: When I was a kid, my grandmother used to say all the best things in life
生活中所有最美好的东西 都在恐惧的另一端 lived on the other side of fear.
真希望外婆说得没错 I sure hope Gigi was right.
蒂娃·阿蒙 探险家
海洋生物学家
威尔 欢迎登船 DIVA: Will, welcome aboard.
-蒂娃！你好吗？ 我很好！ -Diva! How are you? How are you? I'm good!
你来得刚刚好 You're just in time.
-真是太棒了 是的 这就是“纳迪尔”号 -That is fantastic. Yeah, this is the Nadir.
它将成为搭载我们进入深海的船只 And she's gonna be our vessel into the depths.
-“纳迪尔”？ 纳迪尔 -"The Nadir"? Nadir.
你觉得如何？ What do you think?
那简直就是直接从电影场景中出来的 那是科幻片 That's straight off a movie set. That's science fiction.
我们要乘坐这个东西到海底 We're going down to the bottom of the ocean in this thing.
老实说吧 我有点紧张 I'm gonna be honest, I'm a little nervous,
因为那个潜水器挺小的 'cause that submersible is just a. . . it's just a little. . . it's a little ass. . . it's a little ass thing,
里面要坐三个人 and there's gonna be three people in there.
这有点难办 This is tricky. . .
因为现实生活中 我害怕下水 because in the real world, I'm frightened of water.
下水 三分钟
小心头 Watch your head.
还有另一堵墙 小心头 -You have another wall. Watch your head. Absolutely.
好的
所以这是一件了不起的事 So, this is a biggie.
置身塑料泡泡里 下潜到914米的水下 Three thousand feet down in a plastic bubble.
上台阶 -MAN: Up the steps. Up the steps.
面向潜水器前方 坐在这里 Face the front of the sub, sit here.
-好的 你要坐中央控制台的位置 -Yeah. You're aimin' for the center console.
在灯的旁边 把脚伸进来 It's near the lamp. And pop your feet in.
就是这里 威尔 把身体移进来 好！ Right here, Will. Slide on in. Yeah!
-然后 我帮你先在这里站好 好 -And then I'll get you to stand on there. WILL: Yeah.
就这样 然后你坐在那个座位 好了 That's it. -And then you're gonna sit on that one. WILL: Ooh.
挤进来 -MAN: There you go. -MAN: Squeeze on in.
-哇 那是水瓶 -Wow. There's a water bottle.
水瓶 -The water bottle. And some more snacks.
再来些零食 我把零食送下去
这里…很舒适 -I'll put your snacks down. This is, uh, snug.
接下来是蒂娃 MAN: Diva's next.
我来了 I'm coming.
她像羚羊一样敏捷 -So, she's like a gazelle.
或者我应该说 像沙丁鱼一样挤进罐头里 WILL: Or should it be a sardine, just squeezing into the can.
-她很在行 以前做过 -She knows what's she's doing. DIVA: Done this a bit.
好吧 我要给你们很快地 做个安全简报 All right, I'm gonna give you a quick safety brief.
你们两人都有内置式呼吸装置 Both of you have a built-in breathing system.
如有需要 它只是 一个标准的潜水装置 我来… If you need to, it's just a standard scuba rig.
-所以 我们就这样？好了 是的 如果我让你们使用它 -If I let. . . Yeah, if I tell you to. . . So, we go like that? Boom.
把它放进嘴里 然后正常呼吸 . . . just pop it in your mouth, then breathe normally.
好的 Okay. Mm-hmm.
如果我出现了什么状况 这下面有一个按钮 And if something happens to me, there's a button under here.
-好 好的 -Okay. All right?
-黄色的 黄色按钮 就在那里 -Yellow. Yellow button.
黄色按钮 -The yellow button. Right there.
-按下去 然后… 天啊 -Press the tool, and. . . Oh, Jesus.
我已经把它弄坏了 呼救 抱歉 I've broken it already. Mayday, sorry.
按下按钮 告诉他们 “出现不明状况” Press the tool, and let them know,
好的 -"X-ray, X-ray, X-ray. " Okay.
好的 有问题吗？ MAN: Okay, any questions?
你驾驶这些潜水器 曾经撞上过什么东西吗？ Have you ever crashed one of these things into something?
-是的 经常有这种情况 是的 经常有 好的 -Oh, yeah. All the time. Oh, yeah. All the time. Yeah, great.
你真的紧张吗？ -Are you actually nervous? Huh?
什么？
-你真的紧张吗？ 有一点 不过会好的 -DIVA: Are you actually nervous? Just a little bit. It'll be fine, though.
请回复 纳迪尔 我们已做好下水准备 MAN: Echo, Nadir, we are ready for the water.
准备下水 Ready for water.
希望稍后再见了 See y'all later. . . I hope.
有点忐忑 Little bit of tingle.
可以了 MAN: Here you go.
可以下水了 TOBY: Echo, bridge, you are clear to launch. Clear to launch.
收到 可以下水 注意 所有位置开始抬升 Roger, clear to launch. Break. All positions are lifting now.
抬升 And lift off. -Hey. Boom. Hey.
开始了 DIVA: Here we go.
National Geographic出品
我肯定很紧张了 WILL: I definitely just got nervous.
哇 Whoa.
如果你的脚湿了 请告诉我 MAN: If your feet get wet, please tell me.
那就太糟糕了！伙计 -That would be terrible! Man.
我们已经和船分离了 And we are detached.
感情上不是 从感情上来说 我还是很留恋那艘船的 Not emotionally. Emotionally, I'm still very attached.
《带您探索地球》

《坠入黑暗》
控制台 纳迪尔 TOBY: Control, control, Nadir. Vent secure, life support running. Over.
通气口安全 生命维持系统运行正常 完毕
纳迪尔 控制台 收到 深度正超过50米 继续下潜 Nadir, control. Roger. Surpassing five-zero meters. Descending.
我最早的记忆其实就是围绕着大海的 DIVA: Some of my earliest memories actually revolve around the ocean.
我们乘船外出 我会迫切地 We'd be out on the boat, and I would desperately,
迫不及待地想知道水下面是什么 absolutely desperately want to know what was down there.
但是我不确定威尔是不是这种感觉 But I'm not sure Will feels that way.
我们上方的光圈正在缩小 The circle of light above us is shrinking.
是的 没错 MAN: Yeah, absolutely.
1000米 也就是3300英尺 WILL: One thousand meters, 3, 300 feet.
那里很深 连光线都无法到达 A place so deep, not even light gets down there.
但在完全的黑暗中存在着什么？ But what exists in total darkness?
回到海面上 我们团队的其他成员 WILL: Back on the surface, other members of our team
也在问相同的问题 are asking the same question.
波多黎各 蚊子湾
有很多人害怕黑暗 MELISSA: There are a lot of people who are afraid of the dark.
我就是其中之一 And I'm one of them.
梅丽莎·马可兹 海洋生物学家
我曾经在黑暗中 被一条美洲鳄咬伤并拖拽 I got bitten and dragged by an American crocodile in the dark,
这让我有点谨慎 and it's kinda made me a little bit wary.
不过还没谨慎到让她停止在夜间 WILL: But not wary enough to stop her canoeing at night
划玻璃船底的独木舟 in a glass-bottom boat.
作为探险家 其中的一部分内容就是克服恐惧 MELISSA: Part of being an explorer is overcoming your fears,
你做到了这一点 and when you do that. . .
就能看到神奇的事物 that's when you get to see the magic.
有生命体出现 We have life.
这片水域充满了微小的生物 This water is full of tiny creatures.
受到惊扰时 它们会突然发出亮光 Disturb them, and they burst into sudden light.
如果把船从它们中间划过去 你就会制造出一场光暴 You row through them, and you create a light storm.
我们认为这是一种防御机制 We think it might be a defense.
就像打开安全灯 让入侵者无所遁形 Like turning on a security light to reveal intruders.
看 哇 Oh, look at that. Wow.
水里的任何活动都会引发亮光 Any movement in the water picks up a glow, even these fish.
甚至是这些鱼
来吧 小鲨鱼 Here, sharky, sharky.
是的 那是一条铰口鲨 Oh, yeah! That is a nurse shark.
太美了 看看它的摆尾频率 That's gorgeous. Look at his tailbeats.
这个世界可不黑暗 This world is far from dark.
它的满天繁星 在你的指尖和你的船桨下 Its constellations, its stars swirling underneath your fingers
旋转游弋 and underneath your paddles.
这是我见过的最美妙的景象了 It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
如果你坚守平淡而安全的日常生活 A magical world that you'd never experience
就无法体验这个奇妙的世界 if you stuck to the safety of the day.
所以随着我们继续下潜 我们没有了光线 随之也没有了色彩 WILL: So, we're losing light as we go down.
And with that, the colors.
没错 白光是由很多颜色组成的 DIVA: Exactly, so, white light is made of lots of colors.
它照射在水上的时候 不同的颜色 And as it hits the water, different colors
会先于其他颜色被吸收 get absorbed before others.
红橙黄绿青兰紫 ROYGBIV.
我外婆就是这么教我彩虹色的 红橙黄绿青兰紫 That's how my grandmother taught me the rainbow. ROYGBIV.
所以 你知道 红橙黄绿青兰紫 WILL: So, you know, red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo, violet. Got it. So, red goes, orange goes,
明白了 所以红色先被吸收 然后是橙色
-接着是黄色… 对 -yellow goes. . . Exactly.
最后被吸收的是蓝色 所以海洋里的一切 So, it's like blue is the last to go, and that's why everything looks blue
看起来都是蓝色的 看看你的衬衫 in the ocean. Check your shirt out.
哇！ -Wow!
太不可思议了 That's crazy.
我们在选衣服的时候 他们一直要红色衬衫 We were picking wardrobe, and they kept demanding the red shirt.
-他们一直要求… 你觉得为什么要那样做？ -They kept demanding. . . What did you think it was for?
我当时不知道 我心想 “我就要当探险家了” I. . . I didn't know, I was like, "I wanna be an explorer, man. "
我们很快就会身处一个蓝色的世界 DIVA: We're gonna just be in a blue world soon.
-然后… 哇 -And then, uh. . . Wow.
然后… And then. . .
-一个黑暗的世界 黑暗的世界 -A dark world. Dark world.
我们才刚刚开始 但来自海面的光线 We've only just started, and already the light from the surface
已经变弱 is fading.
但在黑暗来临之前 有暮色 But before the dark, there's twilight.
一个我们认为几乎没有色彩的世界 WILL: A world we think of as having very little color.
随着夜幕降临 我们所认识的世界完全消失了 CORY: As night falls, the world as we know it totally disappears.
它在你的周围瓦解 It disintegrates around you.
我们的眼睛费力地辨认周围的环境 Our eyes struggle to make out our surroundings.
我能听到声音 I can hear it.
我能听到声音越来越大 是的 I can hear it getting louder. Yeah.
-黑狼鸟 黑狼鸟来了 -Garuga. . . Garuga is coming.
巴西 伊瓜苏瀑布
科里·理查德斯 探险家

有时候满月的时候 如果天空晴朗 CORY: Sometimes, during a full moon, when the skies are clear. . .
水雾中会出现一道幽灵般的弧光 a ghostly arc of light appears in the mist.
那是月虹 It's a moonbow.
这几乎是不可能看到的 它就像空气中的一条灰色细线 It's nearly impossible to see. It's like this thin, grey line in the air
跨越整个峡谷上空 that's stretching out over the entire gorge.
但如果使用正确的相机和正确的镜头 But with the right camera and the right lens,
你就能看到它真实的样子 you can see the line for what it really is.
那是一道彩虹 但它是由月光形成的 It's a rainbow, but it's created by the moonlight.
这里很美 不是吗？ LIDIO: It's beautiful here, isn't it?
太完美了 CORY: This is perfect.
利迪欧·欧玛 瓜拉尼族领袖
白光被空气中的微水滴所反射 The white light is bouncing off water droplets in the air,
就像暴雨过后那样 just like it does after a rainstorm.
但是问题在于 月光实际上并没有强到 But here's the thing. Moonlight isn't actually strong enough
足以激活我们的色觉 to activate our color vision.
因此月虹就无法被我们所看见 So, the moonbow remains hidden in plain sight.
这是一个完全隐藏在黑暗中 的彩色世界 It's a world of color that is just completely hidden in darkness.
海洋也有暮色 WILL: The ocean has twilight, too.
下潜到200米深的地方 Go down below 200 meters,
你就到了阳光照射不到的地方 and you're getting beyond the reach of sunlight.
暮色层里 到处都是人们从没见过的东西 And the twilight zone is full of things no one has ever seen before.
控制台 纳迪尔 深度700米 继续下潜 完毕 MAN: Control, control, Nadir. Depth, 700 meters, descending. Over.
你刚才听到那个哐啷声了吗？ MAN: Did you hear that clunk then?
-是的 我听到了 那是我们的潜水器在说 -WILL: Yes, I did. MAN: That's the sphere telling us
-我们到了很深的地方 是的 -we're getting deep. WILL: Yeah.
-好的 我们是不是要探索一下？ 好的 -Okay, shall we do some exploring? WILL: All right.
可以吧 I guess.
这感觉就像《星球大战》 WILL: This feels just like Star Wars.
我一直在等着看见死星 I keep expecting to see the Death Star.
你习惯这种感觉吗？ -WILL: Do you ever get used to this? DIVA: Not really.
不习惯
你相信吗？去过太空的人 Can you believe that more people have been into space
比去过海底的人更多 than the bottom of the ocean?
我只下去过几次 因为这些旅程很难得 I've only been down a handful of times because these trips are just so rare.
已被探索的深海不到百分之一 Less than one percent of the deep ocean has been explored.
虽然我们正往更深的黑暗世界迈进 And even though you're traveling deeper into the darkness,
我们却能开始看到更多的东西 you actually start to see more.
哇 Whoa.
-什么？ 哇 -DIVA: What? WILL: Wow.
这突然出现在你眼前 Well, that just came out of nowhere.
那是一片悬崖 That is a whole cliff.
太神奇了 -That's amazing. DIVA: Isn't it?
可不是吗？
也许那就是死星 WILL: Maybe it is the Death Star.
-我们不知道这片悬崖有多高… 是的 没错 -DIVA: We have no idea how tall this is. Right.
-它延伸到多远 是吧？ 是的 -DIVA: How far this goes, right? WILL: Yes, yes. Absolutely.
在此以前 没人来过这里 DIVA: And before now, no one has been here.
不可思议 WILL: Incredible.
这么说 我有可能是 第一批见到这个景象的人之一 So, I could literally be one of the first people to ever see this?
有可能 DIVA: You could.
等一下 按照探险家法则 我不是能为它命名吗？ WILL: Wait, aren't the explorer rules that I get to name it?
是的 -DIVA: Yeah. WILL: The Fresh Peak.
新巅峰
那是什么？ WILL: What is that?
华美游梦参 回去 Enypniastes, enypniastes, enypniastes. Go back, go back, go back.
这简直太奇怪了 WILL: It's weird as hell.
好吧 这是海参的一种 学名“梦海鼠” Okay, this is a type of sea cucumber. Formal name, Enypniastes eximia.
但是它有不少别名 -But it has a bunch of nicknames. Mm-hmm.
我个人最喜欢的是无头鸡怪 DIVA: My personal favorite is the headless chicken monster.
无头鸡怪 哇！看看它 The headless chicken. Wow! Look at that.
它看起来真的很像一只 It really does look like a roast chicken. . .
吃了巨型椒盐卷饼的烤鸡 -that ate a giant Philly pretzel.
它们是我最喜欢看到的东西之一 They're just one of my favorite things to see.
真美 That is beautiful.
你看到它是红色的 这个颜色也许是深海动物 You can see that it's red, probably the most common color
最常见的颜色 of animals in the deep sea.
-你觉得这是为什么？ 哇！ -WILL: Wow! DIVA: Why do you think that is?
这是个好问题 我不知道… WILL: That's a good question. I don't know. . . Oh!
应该是为了隐藏自己 对吧？ It would probably be for concealment, right?
-是的 它们可以隐藏起来 对 完全正确！ -Yeah. They can hide. Yes, yes. Exactly!
-因为这里没有红色光 没有红色…它们… -'Cause there's no red light. WILL: There's no red. . . They. . .
-你就看不到它们 你就看不到它们 -DIVA: You can't see them. WILL: You can't see 'em.
因此 这就像它们穿上了隐身披风 DIVA: So, it's like they're wearing an invisibility cloak.
就像我的T恤衫一样 对吗？ 这也是我的隐身披风 WILL: Oh, they act like my T-shirt, right? That's my invisibility cloak.
没错 DIVA: Exactly.
这个深度的动物甚至看不到红色 Most of the creatures down here can't even see red.
是的 我想它们身处一个蓝色的世界 不需要看到红色 WILL: Yeah, I guess, they don't need to in a blue world.
这么说 这里的一切都是红色的吗？ So, is everything down here red?
-那是一只水母 是吗？ -MAN: There's a jellyfish right here. Yeah?
-在我们正前方 那里 -Right in front of us. MAN: There.
-你会看到它在移动 它们都… 是的 Whoo! DIVA: You'll see it's moving. They'll all. . . Where the rainbow is.
-就在彩虹那里 是的 是的 哇！ -Yes! Wow! DIVA: Yeah!
太神奇了 用你的手机？ That's amazing. Use your phone?
就像中间有一只五彩的灯泡 It's like a five-color light bulb in the middle of it.
胶质物并没有颜色 -DIVA: That jelly actually has no color. WILL: What do you mean?
什么意思？
它看起来是彩色的 是因为我们的亮光照射到它 DIVA: It only looks colorful because we are shining a light on it.
什么…这是什么意思？ WILL: What do you. . . what's that mean?
这里不会有彩虹的颜色 因为我们带来了白色的光 That rainbow is never seen down here.
-Because we have brought that white light. Right. Right. Right.
对… DIVA: And so, that is actually not a real thing.
所以 那其实不是真实的样子
-这里的动物不会看到这种景象 对 动物看到的不是这样 -Like, no animal down here sees that. WILL: Right. No animal sees it like that.
没错 Exactly.
虽然我可以看到彩虹色水母 这里的生物都看不到 WILL: Even though I can see this rainbow, the creatures down here can't.
我之所以能看到 是因为我们带了合适的光 And I can only see it because we brought the right sort of light.
这个方法可以 以各种令人惊讶的方式发挥作用 That approach can work in all sorts of surprising ways.
原来 你并不需要大费周章去寻找 WILL: And it turns out, you don't have to go that far
隐藏在黑暗中的颜色 to find hidden colors in the dark. . .
只要你有了合适的光 just as long as you have the right sort of light.
美国 威斯康星州
我听到声响了 I heard something.
它们就在这下面 They're right down here.
它们知道我们在这里 I think they know we're here.
-我们干脆把灯关了？ 好吧 -Why don't we go dark? GEORGE: Okay.
乔纳森·马丁 森林生态学家
你能试试使用魔术光吗？ Can you try the magic light?
好的 那里有动静 Oh, oh. Yeah, there's movement right there.
没错 -That's it.
乔治·斯坦麦兹 探险家 摄影师
就好像迪斯科涂料 -It's like it's disco paint. It is. It's amazing, isn't it?
没错 很神奇 不是吗？
世界上只有少数几个人看过这一幕 GEORGE: Only a handful of people in the world have ever seen this.
太奇妙了 像这样的小招数 使用紫外光就可以揭示 JONATHAN: It's amazing, how a little trick like this with UV light
一个全新的世界 谁知道呢？ can just reveal a whole new world. Who knew?
是的 GEORGE: Yeah.
这就是关键 没人知道 这是一个全新的科学 WILL: And that's the thing. No one knew. This is brand-new science.
此时此刻 科学家们正拿着紫外线灯 As we speak, scientists are wandering randomly around
随意四下走动 想看看其他动物 with UV flashlights trying to see what other animals
可能拥有的隐秘的力量 might have this hidden power.
你第一次看到这样的情景 你一定会觉得自己 When you first saw this, you must've thought you were, like,
出现幻觉什么的 hallucinating or something.
我都怀疑自己神志不清醒 是的 -My sanity was questioned, yes. GEORGE: Not the first time.
不是第一次
谁曾想动物们在我们的后院里 用我们看不到的光 WILL: Who knew that animals were putting on a secret light show
-in our own backyards. . .
上演了一场秘密的灯光秀？ 太奇妙了 . . . using colors that we can't see?
WILL: Amazing.
我们要寻找的东西 并不需要特殊的灯光 What we're looking for doesn't need special lights.
但是如果把灯都灭掉 我们还能看到什么呢？ But what is left to see when all light is gone?
从这里开始 我们可能就要进入午夜区了 DIVA: This is where we're probably beginning to go into the midnight zone.
没有光线 No light.
要到达午夜区 必须下潜到很深的地方 WILL: To get to the midnight zone, you need to go deep.
非常深 Really deep.
接近这个潜水器所能承受的极限 Close to the limits of what this sub can handle.
所以 随着潜水器继续下潜 DIVA: So, as the sub is going deeper,
最让人不安的是它所发出的声音 the most unnerving thing is the noises it makes. This, like, horrible creaking.
是一种可怕的吱吱声
那是潜水器和海洋之间的较量 And that's the battle between the sub and the ocean.
如果你停下来认真想想 唯一在保护你的东西 And it's completely terrifying if you stop for a second
只是厚度约15厘米的塑料 and think about the fact that the only thing protecting you
你会觉得很可怕 is about six inches of plastic.
托比 我要开始放慢速度了 MAN: Toby, I'm gonna start slowing down now.
纳迪尔 控制台 收到 -TOBY: Nadir, control, roger. MAN: Here we go.
到了
我们到底了 WILL: Oh. We're at the bottom.
离海床大约8厘米 MAN: That's about three inches from the seabed.
休斯顿 即将着陆 预备标志灯 WILL: Coming in to land, Houston. Contact light.
我一直很想这么说 但是一直找不到由头 WILL: I always wanted to say that. I just never really had a reason.
我喜欢这个环节 你看到海床 I love this part, when you see the seafloor
在一片深邃中隐隐浮现 just loom out of the depths at you.
认真想想的话 你会觉得这一切很不真实 It's so surreal when you think about it.
我们就在这里 在海面之下一千米 We're here, a kilometer below the ocean surface.
对你个人来说 你的生活目标是什么？ WILL: Personally, for you, what is your life's goal,
对你所从事的事 你怀有什么样的希望？ your hope for what you're doing?
-因为我来自一个发展中国家… 是的 DIVA: 'Cause I'm from a developing country. . .
我们国家还负担不起 探索我们的大部分海域的费用 -WILL: Yeah. . . . we, as a nation,
can't afford to explore the majority of our area.
-哇 特立尼达岛的领土 -WILL: Wow, wow, wow, wow. Like, 90-something-percent
大约百分之九十多是深海 我们不知道那里有什么 of Trinidad's area is deep ocean.
因为我们缺少专业人士 我是唯一的一个 And we have no idea what's. . . what's there because we don't have the expertise. I'm the only one.
所以 我的工作有很大一部分 就是为了改变这一点 So, a big part of my work is trying to change that.
到目前为止 我大概参加了16次探险 基本上没有像我这样的人参与 I've been on, like, 16 expeditions now, and there is hardly ever anyone
不管是女性还是有色人种 that looks like me, whether it's a woman, a person of color,
还是来自发展中国家 我想要改变这一点 or a person from a developing country.
没错 -And I want that to change. WILL: Absolutely. DIVA: So, that's a big part of why I do what I do.
这就是我为什么从事这项工作的原因
我明白 这很了不起 WILL: Got it. That's cool.
我们在潜水器里 身处1005. 8米的大洋深处 Inside the sub at 3, 300 feet.
我们在大洋深处 各位 我们在大洋深处 -We down here. We down here, y'all. We down here.
这么说吧 我现在深受鼓舞 我真想出去散散步 Let's just say, I got really, really inspired,
你可能只能坚持半秒钟 and I just wanted to take a walk. -MAN: Probably last about half a second.
-而且一定会丧命 是的 -DIVA: And we would die in the process. WILL: Yeah.
那我就不那么做了 I probably won't do that then.
我经常想 “这真是一种好死法 真是一个精彩的故事” DIVA: I always think, "What a great way to go.
精彩的故事是由你本人来讲述的故事 "What a great story. " WILL: A great story is one that you get to tell.
-别人… 是的 没错 -Somebody else. . . MAN: Right, yeah.
如果必须由别人来讲的话 “是啊 兄弟 那天我在场” If somebody else has to tell it, "Yeah, man, I was there that day, "
这就没那么动人了 it's like a less great story.
如果这下面的压力这么大 你不禁会想 WILL: If the pressure is that extreme,
“什么样的生物能生活在这里？” you've gotta wonder, "What kinda creature could live down here? "
因为在海洋表面 探险家们发现了 Because even back on the surface, explorers are finding
一些隐藏在黑暗中的很奇特的生命体 some crazy, strange lifeforms hiding in the dark.
斯洛文尼亚 喀斯特高原
一位宇航员在漆黑一片的 ALEXANDER: What is an astronaut doing in a cave. . .
距离地表300米的洞穴里做什么？ 300 meters below the earth's surface in utter darkness?
进入洞穴与进入太空 其实非常非常相似 Going into a cave is very, very similar to actually going to space.
亚历山大·格斯特 宇航员
你看不见颜色 随之也失去了色感 You lose colors, and then you lose the concept of colors.
如果你环顾四周 大多数生活在这里的生物 If you look around, most creatures that live down here
都是白色或者透明的 are white or transparent.
它们已经适应了生活在洞穴里 They have adapted to living in a cave,
所以 它们去除了颜色 它们甚至完全去除了眼睛 so they got rid of colors, they got rid of eyes, even, totally.
这些生物 它们甚至看不见东西 These creatures, they don't even see.
洞螈看起来 就是宇航员可能发现的生物 WILL: An olm looks like the kind of creature
an astronaut might find.
它有奇怪的肉质皮肤 That weird, fleshy skin.
人们把洞螈称为“人鱼” They call olms the human fish.
一种每十年进食一次的“外星生物” An alien that only needs to eat every ten years.
这其实也是因为它们移动太缓慢 无法捕捉到太多食物 Which is just as well because they move too slowly to catch much.
这个物种已经在黑暗中 隐藏了超过两千万年 A species that has been hidden away in the dark
for over 20 million years.
如果他们在几百米深的洞穴里 发现了那样的生物 WILL: If they found that thing in a cave just a few hundred feet down,
我们在一千米的大洋深处 会发现什么？ what the hell are we gonna find at 3, 000 feet below the sea?
控制台 纳迪尔 深度1000米 完毕 MAN: Control. Control. Nadir. Depth, 1, 000 meters. Over.
那是什么？ What was that?
只有一个办法能弄清楚 DIVA: There's only one way to find out.
是的 我们经常用的那一招 MAN: Yes. And there's a trick we play.
好的 WILL: Okay.
现在怎么办？ Uh, what now?
现在我们看看外面有什么 DIVA: Now, we'll see what's out there.
现在 闭上眼睛 好的 一 二 三 MAN: So, shut your eyes. Okay. One, two, three.
睁开眼睛 MAN: Eyes open.
什么都没有 WILL: Like, nothin'.
再试一次 我们把灯打开 好的 闭眼 MAN: Try it again. Let's turn on the flash. Okay, eyes shut.
一 二 三 开灯 -One, two, three. Lights on.
关灯 睁眼 MAN: Lights off. Eyes open.
-哇！ 天啊 -DIVA: Wow! Wow! WILL: Woah! DIVA: Oh, my God!
哇 -WILL: Oh! DIVA: Wow!
-哇 我的天啊 -WILL: Wow! Whoa! DIVA: Oh, my God.
我简直不敢相信 瞧瞧 WILL: You have got to be kidding me. Look at that.
就好像《第三类接触》里的场景 WILL: It's like Close Encounters.
你知道吗？ -You know?
好吧 蒂娃 那是什么？ WILL: So, Diva, what is it?
这就是我们来这里要看的东西 DIVA: Well, this is what we're here to see.
一个只有在完全黑暗中 才能看到的隐秘的世界 A hidden world you can only see in total darkness.
不 我知道 但是 从科学的角度看 它究竟是什么？ WILL: No, no, I know. But, like, act. . . actually, scientifically, what is it?
是生物发光现象 威尔 DIVA: It's bioluminescence, Will.
这是一个利用水中的氧气 来创造光的化学反应 It's a chemical reaction using oxygen in the water to create light.
但好好看看 But just look at it.
所以它们在制造自己的光 WILL: So, they're making their own light.
