探访超凡地球
塞伦盖蒂 坦桑尼亚
晚上8点55分
希望我们别碰上夜行的狮子 GEORGE: Let's hope we don't see what the lions do at night.
希望我们在狮子看到我们前 先看到它们 Let's hope we see lions before they see us.
嘿 雷姆 可以关灯吗？ Hey, Rem. Can you cut the lights?
酷 Cool.
探险家及摄影师 乔治·斯坦梅茨
威尔 这是…我们的夜视镜 Well, this is. . . We got a pair of night vision goggles,
你试一下 告诉我你看到什么 and if you look out there, and tell me what you see.
我需要夜视镜 才能知道夜视镜在哪 I need night vision goggles to get the night vision goggles from you.
我看得出来它们是牛羚 Well, I can see they're wildebeest.
很好 GEORGE: Well, that's a start.
你看得出它们的形状 或是群体的形状吗？ Can you tell their shape? Like the shape of the. . . of the group?
没办法 WILL: I can't tell, really. . .
它们全都重叠在一起 我看不出来 They're like layered up, so I can't really tell.
-重叠？ 对 -GEORGE: Kind of stacked up? WILL: Yeah.
那看看… 我还想给你看另一个玩意儿 GEORGE: I don't know. Let's see what. . . I've got a. . . another toy
I wanted to show you.
不知道狮子在黑暗中的视力如何 I wonder if a lion could see in this kind of darkness. I dunno.
我们不需要知道 WILL: Well, that's. . . We don't need to find out that.
不是 我只是… 我指的是牛羚 GEORGE: No, no, I just die. . . I'd. . . I'd die with the wildebeest.
-跟得上吗？ 我看不到 -You can follow me? WILL: I can't see.
-我抓住你了 没事 好的 慢点 -GEORGE: Yeah, I got you, we're good. WILL: All right. Hold on.
我一直很想亲眼看见牛羚 WILL: My whole life, I've wanted to see wildebeest.
我只是没想到会是在黑暗中 还有狮子在附近 I just didn't think it would be in the dark with lions everywhere.
但乔治总有些异于常人的想法 But George has a different way of looking at everything.
我们正看着这群家伙 有趣的是它们正在移动 GEORGE: Well, we're looking at these guys, it's interesting, they're moving out.
哇 真的 WILL: Oh, wow, yeah.
我不认为它们能看见任何东西 GEORGE: But I don't think they can see anything at night.
所以它们虽然组成了队形 但不是靠视力 So they're falling in like that, but they're not falling in based on sight?
没错 GEORGE: That's right.
它们走得不一样 They're walking differently.
像是某种防卫性队形 Almost kind of like a loose defensive formation.
它们正聚集在一起好团体行动 They're coming together and working as a group.
-它们很明显在跟随彼此 没错 -They're clearly following each other. GEORGE: That's right.
可是 它们看不见又不出声 WILL: But if they don't see well, and they're not making any noise,
它们怎么知道彼此在哪？ how do they know where the others are?
大迁徙的智慧
大约三十年前 我拿起一本《国家地理》杂志 Around thirty years ago, I picked up a National Geographic Magazine
看到了这个 and saw this.
这张一百五十万牛羚 在非洲草原上的照片 That image, one and a half million wildebeests on the plains of Africa,
从此烙印在我脑海 has stayed with me ever since.
地表上最壮观的迁徙 The most dramatic migration on Earth.
我终于要亲眼目睹了 And finally, I'm here to see it.
嘿 威尔 来看看这个 GEORGE: Hey, Will. Come up and take a look.
好 WILL: All right.
Whoa!
好多牛羚 GEORGE: That's a lot of wildebeest, man.
终于可以近距离看它们 长得有点好笑 WILL: Seeing them up close, finally. Man, they're kind of funny-looking.
牛羚的长相很一般 GEORGE: Wildebeest are not the most elegant animal.
头脑也不是很好 Or the most intelligent.
乔治对牛羚的评价很直接 WILL: George is straight-up clowning wildebeest.
但既没有外型也没有头脑 But, hey, if they don't get by on their looks or their brains,
它们是靠什么在野外生存？ how do they survive out here in the wild?
这就是乔治想给我看的 Well, that's what George wants me to see.
最前面的牛羚 一面吃草一面带队 The front runners chow down on the grass ahead of the herd,
大伙只能跟着不停移动 so they all have to keep constantly moving.
我们也是 And so do we.
乔治 你为何来到非洲？ So, George, what got you to. . . to Africa?
因为生活有点乏味 当时我是个无聊的大学生 I got kind of bored, I was a. . . kind of bored college student,
然后我决定放手一搏 and I decided to get the hell out, and I wanted. . .
就一路搭便车来到非洲 I went to Africa, I came hitchhiking here.
-我买了去伦敦的单程机票 哇 -I bought a one-way ticket to London. . . Wow.
然后搭便车到刚果 -. . . and I hitchhiked down to Congo. Whoa.
太有趣了 而且可以学到更多 And I found it was really fascinating and there was so much more to learn.
-是 我至今仍这么认为 -WILL: Yeah. And I still feel that way.
你会遇到很多危险 但你也会学到很多 Once you get into dangerous things, you just keep on learning more and more.
对 没错 WILL: Yeah. Exactly.
你希望捕捉到什么样的画面？ What kind of image are you hoping to capture?
我想捕捉到迁徙的关键时刻 Well, I'm trying to capture the key moment in the migration
当牛羚渡河 when the, um. . . when the wildebeest cross the river.
你成功的机率有多高？ How often do you capture exactly what you're looking for?
这是个令人沮丧的问题 That's kind of a depressing question.
我拍摄野生动物超过四十年 GEORGE: I've been photographing wildlife for over forty years.
身为一名摄影师 你总想捕捉最深刻的画面 As a photographer, you try to capture these incisive moments in an animal,
动物最原生态的那一面 where they reveal the true nature of their species.
但最珍贵也最壮观的 莫过于牛羚渡河 And the greatest, the biggie of all, is the crossing of the wildebeest.
雷姆 以你的经验来说 这有多罕见？ In your experience, Rem, how rare is it?
捕捉到牛羚渡河到底有多难？ How easy will it be for you to catch a crossing?
看到牛羚的机率很高 You have a big chance of seeing a wildebeest, of course.
国家公园管理员 雷姆土拉纳沙里 -WILL: Yeah. But it's seeing crossing,
-是 但渡河非常罕见 that's very rare.
如果你不让我看到渡河 But I think you can consider it a great failure
这将成为你人生中一大败笔 if you don't show me a. . . a crossing.
-当然 牛羚才不在乎 -Of course. You know, wildebeest don't care. . .
你是谁或你等多久 wildebeest don't care who you are, or how long you've been waiting.
-我知道 它们才不在乎 -I know, right. They don't really care.
你们知道为什么吗？ Hey, you guys, do you know what? The wildebeest haven't seen
因为牛羚没看过《MIB星际战警》 Men in Black, I guess.
老实说 牛羚有更大的烦恼 In fairness, they've got more pressing things to think about.
它们必须同心协力 躲过饥饿的狮子 鬣狗和猎豹 But somehow, between them, they manage to survive a 300-mile trek
好完成这趟三百英里的旅程 past hungry lions, hyenas, and cheetahs.
它们是怎么做到的？ What's their secret?
答案就藏在三千英里外 Perhaps the answer lies in a completely different creature
另一种生物的身上 over 3, 000 miles away from here.
尼泊尔
世界上体积最大的蜜蜂 和牛羚有什么关系？ WILL: But what can the world's largest honeybee
tell us about wildebeest?
你有看过这种蜜蜂吗？ ALDO: Have you seen bees like this before?
我从没看过 CORY: I've never seen anything like this before.
你必须想办法靠近 Your problem's gonna be how to get in there and be able to then. . .
绳索专家 奥尔多·凯恩
然后试图稳定住自己 这样才能拍摄 -sort yourself out to be able to shoot. Not. . . Okay, yeah.
对 没错
探险家和摄影师 科里·理查兹 -So I'm not spinning in space. Yeah.
-这样我才不会空转 对
或许我们可以试着爬上去 ALDO: Maybe we'll try and climb up from the bottom
然后从上面慢慢调整位置 and then, from there, try to get in position.
我认为我们应该试试 Well, I guess we should go try it.
请保佑我们 不论本地人还是外国人 MALE VOICE:
他们是来捕蜂还是拍照？ MALE VOICE 1:
看起来不大像是捕蜂 他们没有带对的器材
一个蜂巢内最多 可能有十万只蜜蜂 CORY: There can be as many as 100, 000 bees on a single hive.
它们有时很不友善 And they can be pretty damn hostile.
当你吊挂在绳索上 而它们决定倾巢而出 If they decide to swarm when you're at the top of a rope,
你一点办法都没有 there's literally nothing you can do.
奥尔多 我好了！ Aldo, I'm in position!
你够近吗？完毕 ALDO: Can you get quite close? Over.
我碰得到它 CORY: I can touch it.
我的手可以碰到外层 我的脚可以碰到内部 I can touch the outer part with my hand and the inner part with my foot.
我要想办法刺激它们 I'm gonna try to trigger 'em.
蜂巢周围有个隐形的防线 There's a sort of invisible barrier around a hive.
大约有二十英尺的距离 It's about 20 inches away.
一旦防线被侵犯 奇妙的事就会发生 Cross that line, and something astonishing happens.
哇 太神奇了 Wow. Incredible.
这是它们的防卫机制 It's a kind of defense strategy.
当蜜蜂发现有外来者 侵犯它们的防线 If the bees spot a predator breaking through that perimeter,
它们会抖动自己的身体 开启这个壮观的连锁效应 they flip their bodies, starting this massive chain reaction.
彷佛它们全都连结在一起 不仅仅是身体 It's like they're somehow all connected, and not just by touch,
就连思考模式都是一体的 but like they're thinking as a single unit.
一只蜜蜂并没有太大的杀伤力 WILL: On its own, each bee doesn't amount to much.
但一群蜜蜂却能够成就大业 But as a swarm, they can create something big enough
至少足以困惑和击退 大部分外来敌人 or confusing enough. . .
to deter almost any attacker.
我们看到蜜蜂 有华丽的防御招数 So the bees have their shimmer trick to throw off predators.
但牛羚并没有 But the wildebeest don't have that.
至少我不认为 I don't think.
那它们如何保护自己？ So how do they defend themselves?
雷姆 那边有头狮子 我们可以停一下吗？ Rem, there's a lion over there. Can we stop for a minute?
看向左边 Look out on the left.
有 我看到它了 WILL: Oh, yeah, I see her. I see her.
GEORGE: And. . . ?
它不见了 我看不到它了 WILL: She's gone again. I lost her.
来试试改变一下视角 GEORGE: Let's try changing our perspective.
我喜欢从最高点 从新的角度看东西 GEORGE: I've always loved getting up and looking at things in a new way.
我小的时候很爱爬树 When I was a kid, I was a real tree climber,
常把我妈惹毛 much to my mother's chagrin.
我喜欢爬到最高的树枝上 I loved climbing up to the tallest branches
去看我家后院 to get a view over my back yard.
只是我家后院现在变得更大了 And now my back yard's become a lot bigger.
有看到吗？ WILL: Any luck?
有看到它吗？ Can you see her?
哇！好像快闪族 Wow!
Like a flash mob.
如果换成是人类 早就一团乱了 If it were humans down there, that would be chaos.
我应该会东倒西歪 不是撞到这个家伙 I'd be tripping up and bangin' off this dude,
就是那个家伙 and runnin' into that guy over there.
但牛羚们不疾不徐一直前进 But the herd didn't miss a beat. Just kept on keepin' on.
看起来很困难 It looks difficult.
但实际上 只需要遵从三个简单规则 But it turns out, you just have to follow three simple rules.
一套适用于所有集体迁徙动物的规则 Rules that apply to all sorts of animals that swarm.
荷兰
规则一 别离你的邻居太远 Rule number one, don't get too far away from your neighbor.
规则二 Rule number two,
也别离你的邻居太近 don't get too close to your neighbor either.
规则三 追随邻居的每一步 Rule number three, if your neighbor turns, you turn.
这样成千上万的个体 And that's enough to turn thousands of individuals
就能组成美丽且复杂的队形 into something beautiful and complex.
椋鸟飞行的时速可达四十英里 Starlings can fly at 40 miles an hour.
要维持这个队形 它们必须拥有赛车手般的反应 So to keep together in formation, they need the reactions of racing drivers.
尤其是其他的“车子” 不仅仅在前后方 Especially as the other "cars" aren't just in front or behind,
还有上下 they're above and below.
一般人很难发觉这有多特别 直到你勾勒出它们的队形 It's hard to get how special that is, until you see it mapped out.
数十万只鸟 绕着不停变化的赛道飞行 A hundred thousand birds racing around a constantly changing track
却没有一次意外 without a single crash.
牛羚也是如此 遵从简单的规则且不去多想 That's the way the wildebeest roll too, with simple rules and not overthinking it.
它们或许没那么快或没那么优雅 但在寻找新鲜草原的过程中 They're not as fast or as pretty, but as they search for fresh grass,
牛羚同样组织缜密 the wildebeest are just as coordinated.
唯有到了马拉河畔 状况会变得比较复杂 Things get more complicated when they reach the Mara River.
追随邻居的脚步 Keeping an eye on the guy next to you isn't much use,
在急流和巨鳄面前 没有多大用处 when you're facing strong currents. . . and giant crocs.
这是三百英里旅程中 最危险的地方 It's the single most dangerous part of the whole 300-mile round trip.
马拉河
等等 我们可以下车吗？ Wait, we can get out here?
没事 GEORGE: It's safe. Yeah, get out.
-下车吧 我让你先下 WILL: I'm gonna let you get out first.
“看起来很安全 你要不要先下？” GEORGE: "That looks good, you go first? "
我们在看什么？ WILL: What are we looking at?
基本上 这里对所有动物来说 都是主要的障碍 Uh, basically, this is the main barrier that the animals have to go over
它们必须横越这里 才能抵达马拉草原 to get up to the big grasslands of the Mara,
在这个季节 那里可以提供很丰盛的粮食 where the really good vegetation is for them at this time of year.
这些记号代表什么？ So, what. . . what are all of these marks?
这些是渡河的点 我们将它们记录下来 REMTULLA: Uh, those are the crossing points, so we mark it.
沿着整条河 Like, it's along the river,
每当它们出现在某处 我们就会记录下来 so whenever they cross, we just put the mark,
这样我们就能掌握 渡河点二 三或是四 so we know like, crossing number two, number three, number four.
它们好像特别喜欢某些渡河点 GEORGE: They seem to have a few favorite places.
如果它们有惯用的渡河点 为什么捕捉它们渡河会这么难？ But if they cross at regular spots, why is it so hard to catch a crossing?
因为不知道它们会选哪一个 There's no way to know which one they're going to choose.
好的 Ah, okay.
多达数万只的一群动物 Conglomeration of thousands of animals,
去年很可能在不同地点渡河 and they all might have crossed at a different place the year before,
所以它们必须仰赖集体决策 so they've gotta have like a group decision,
-集体移动的决策 哇 -like a swarm decision, WILL: Wow.
决定要往哪个方向 about which way to go.
我们可以埋伏在一个点 或是机动一点到处巡逻 We can either hold and wait in one spot, or we can get fidgety and patrol.
我们可以随时移动到 它们渡河的地方 If there was a crossing happening, we can go there,
但等我们抵达时可能已经结束 but by the time we get there, it might be over,
所以 你… so it's like, do you. . .
会很难决定该去追寻渡河 It's hard to know whether you chase after crossings
还是等待渡河发生 or do you wait for a crossing to come to you.
了解 Got it.
到底要多久 So, how long will it take for me to get comfortable
我才能习惯 不去挥走脸上的苍蝇？ just letting a fly be on my face without having to swat it?
你脸上就有两只 但你完全不在乎 'Cause you got two flies on your face and you're just relaxed.
-我没办法 我懒得挥了 -I'm like, man. I just get tired of swatting at them.
真的吗？ Oh, yeah?
-草原…真正的草原男人 天啊 -Bush. . . Really bush man. Yeah. . . Oh, man. . .
所以我们决定追还是等？ All right, so are we waiting or are we chasing?
我的直觉认为 我们应该找个好地方 My instinct is to find a really good place.
很多牛羚聚集的地方 We got a lot of animals over there. And if we're in wait, they'll come to us.
然后等待它们出现
-好的 对 -WILL: All right. Yeah.
所以我们要观察它们的方向 对吧？ So we sort of look where they're moving to, right?
没错 它们正往河边去 你看 有一群在那边 Yeah, they're coming to the river. And see, the herd is down here.
没错 WILL: Yeah.
-它们越跑越快了 试图用跑的 -They're moving faster, yeah. GEORGE: Trying to run there. . .
这些家伙要渡河了吗？ GEORGE: Are these guys about to cross?
我不敢相信我们如此幸运 I can't believe how lucky we're about to get.
永远不要低估菜鸟的运气 WILL: Never underestimate the power of beginner's luck.
乔治想拍这个画面好多年了 I mean, George has been trying to get this shot for years,
我才来两分钟就看到了 and I'm here two minutes and it's all happening.
你知道的 I'm just saying.
去吧 乔治 这是属于你的时刻 Go, George. This is your big moment.
那只牛羚自己冲了 He's going on his own.
我不敢看这个 Oh, I can't watch this.
天啊 Oh, man.
它们怎么让它自己走？ Why did they let him go alone?
看来集体移动有第四条规则 Looks like there's a fourth swarm rule.
别去有鳄鱼的地方 Don't go where there's crocs.
如果我看我的同伴被鳄鱼咬死 If I saw one of my boys get wacked by a crocodile,
我绝对会犹豫该不该渡河 I'd have second thoughts about crossing that river too.
看来它们的动线 也正在从这里撤离 Looks like the momentum now is moving away from this point.
之前它们是往这里移动 Where it was moving toward this point before,
现在感觉它们正缓慢地离开 now it feels like it's kind of gently drifting away.
很明显地 一只孤勇的牛羚 Clearly, one brave dude jumping into the water
无法说服其他伙伴一同渡河 is not enough to make them all start crossing.
到底何时它们才会勇往直前？ So, what will it take?
为了深入了解 我们需要潜入水中 To best explain that, we need to go underwater.
所罗门群岛
潜水员 吉儿凯莉
它们确实很美妙 JILL: They are truly amazing.
我第一次接触它们 The first time I ever saw them,
就永生难忘 certainly something that you'll never forget.
手电筒鱼很奇怪 WILL: Flashlight fish are weird.
它们的脸颊会发光 彷佛在说“我在这 跟着我来” They make their cheeks light up like, "I'm here, follow me! "
但就像那只可怜的牛羚 But just like that poor wildebeest,
一条发光的鱼 无法说服其他伙伴同行 one fish signaling isn't enough to make the others follow.
两条或三条都没办法 Neither is two or three.
除非有一定数量的鱼同时发光 But if enough of them flash at the same time,
照往同一个方向 in the same direction. . .
它们才会全体出动 . . . they all go.
它们并不追随单一个体 而是一个够庞大的组织 It's not about one animal taking the lead. It's about enough of them doing it.
如此一来 它们才会全力移动 Then the swarm behavior kicks in strong.
所以数量决定一切 So this is a numbers game.
牛羚最有可能渡河的地方 The place where the wildebeest are most likely to cross
就是最大群牛羚聚集的地方 is the place where the biggest numbers are gathering.
该如何找出这个点？ But how do you find that?
你需要一架没有门的小飞机 和一名疯狂的副机师 Well, with a plane with the doors off, and a crazy co-pilot.
区域航空
来了 Here we go.
WILL: Oh, wow.
往前倾视野比较好 Come forward, you can see it better.
好长一排 绝对是我们见过最长的 WILL: That's a huge line.
That's definitely the most we've ever seen.
好疯狂 它们看起来像蚂蚁 就像蚂蚁在移动 That's crazy. It does look like ants, like how you see ants move.
很像行军蚁 -Yeah, like army ants. Army ants, yeah.
-对 行军蚁 没错 Exactly.
那边至少有数千只 There's a few thousand there at least. A convoy.
一个军队
这个更多 WILL: That one's even bigger.
这群牛羚的目的地很明显 You can definitely tell where this bunch is heading.
一路向河边 Straight to the river.
我们得在它们渡河前先到河边 GEORGE: We gotta get there before they start crossing.
我同意 我们下去吧 WILL: Roger that. Let's get down there.
好玩的才要开始 Let the games begin.
你看那一排排的牛羚 Look at that line, those lines.
雷姆 我们找到渡河点了吗？ 是的 WILL: Have we found our crossing point, Rem? REMTULLA: Yeah.
我们最好在此埋伏 So, I think we better hold here.
靠太近会惊扰到它们 它们可能会因此离开 'Cause if we drive close, may scare them, they may run away from the river.
所以我们的存在 很可能阻碍它们渡河吗？ So our presence would potentially keep them from crossing?
没错 所以我们最好等下去 True, yeah. So, we'd better continue to wait.
我们正在等待 其中一只牛羚说“出发” WILL: So, now we just wait for someone to call "action"?
这就是野生摄影 很多漫长的等待 Welcome to wildlife photography. It's a lot of waiting.
跟拍戏没有两样 Eh, it's not different than acting either.
你就坐在那边等待 You just kinda sit around and wait.
GEORGE AND WILL: A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
在丛林中 在庞大的丛林中 In the jungle, the mighty jungle
今晚狮子正在沉睡 The lion sleeps tonight
在丛林中 庞大的丛林中 今晚狮子正在沉睡 In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
Woo-oo-oo-ooo Ee-e-e-oh-mum-a-weh
我没气了 I'm out of breath.
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away
Near the village, the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee
Weeoh aweem away. . .
我要有一顶软边帽 才能成为探险家吗？ Weeheeheehee I'm a real explorer if I have a slouch hat?
-对 没错 所以这就是你们的风格吗？ -REMTULLA: Yeah, exactly. All right, so that. . . so. . . so. . .
so it's like. . . it's like, that's the vibe?
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee
两小时后 Weeoh aweem away
看起来很安全 你先走吧 GEORGE: It looks good. You go first.
我才不要先走 你先走 WILL: I'm not gonna go first. You go first.
-不 你先 不 你走 -GEORGE: No, you go first. REMTULLA: No, you go, you go.
-不 你走 我就在你后面 快走 -REMTULLA: No, you go, you go. WILL: I'm right behind you.
你都已经站起来了 就走吧 Just go ahead. I mean, you're already standing there, just go ahead.
对啊 我帮你殿后 Yeah, I got your back, man.
单枪匹马的动物说 “我才不想被吃掉” WILL: The single brain is saying, "I don't want to get eaten. "
但集体迁徙的动物们说 “那边有草 走吧” But the swarm mind is saying, "There's grass over there. Let's go. "
压力逐渐升温 It's a pressure cooker.
它们需要的是临门一脚 Maybe what they really need is one last push.
某个后院
细微的黏菌到处可见 There are tiny dots of slime mold almost everywhere.
绝大部分时间 黏菌只会待在同个地方 Most of the time, slime mold just sits around,
吞噬其他细菌 和繁殖更多黏菌 eating bacteria and making more slime mold.
但是当这些单细胞生物将粮食吃完 一件奇怪的事会发生 But when these single-celled organisms run out of food,
something weird happens.
一波接一波的能量 涌向这群生物 Waves of restless energy ripple through the swarm.
它们连结在一起形成新的生物 They join themselves together into a new creature.
无数个单细胞组成躯体 Many cells become one body.
直到最后关头 它们开始移动 And then when the pressure finally gets too much, they move.
过程中有所牺牲 There's sacrifice involved.
这些又长又细的躯干 是由死去的细胞组成 The long, thin stems are created by cells dying.
它们的牺牲赋予同伴生存的机会 But they give the others a chance to survive
这样它们就可以附着在其他物体上 去寻找全新的栖息地 by being carried away to pastures new when something brushes against them.
身为个体 这些家伙几乎没有思考能力 Individually, these guys are literally brainless,
但在一起 它们聪明绝顶 but together, they're smart.
而牛羚呢？它们就有点像黏菌 And wildebeest? They're a bit like slime mold.
没有贬意 No offense.
一群个体必须做出共同决策 Loads of individuals somehow having to make a joint decision.
上千个脑袋逐步过滤信息 Thousands of brains slowly crunching the data.
“危险在前 粮食危机在后” "Danger in front. . .
"food running out behind. "
不安的能量持续增温 Waves of nervous energy building. . .
最后侵泄而出 that finally pushes them to the edge.
找到答案 -And an answer.
它们开始了 REMTULLA: They're going. Going.
-它们走掉了 它们开始了 -WILL: They're gone. They're gone. GEORGE: They're going.
你看 Look at that.
天啊 Oh, man.
-你有… 它们渡河了 -All right, you got the. . . REMTULLA: They're crossing.
-用望远镜 谢谢你 -Get the bino. . . WILL: Thank you, thank you.
太壮观了 That's spectacular.
太疯狂了 That looks crazy.
-Wow. GEORGE: Wow.
我的前半生都在期待这一刻 WILL: I've had more than half my life to get ready for this.
但现场的扬灰 音浪及规模 完全超越你的想象 But nothing prepares you for the dust,
the noise, the sheer scale of it.
Wow!
一旦踏上此路 Hey, that. . . Once you commit. . .
就无法回头 GEORGE: No turning back.
三十年 这件事占据我愿望清单三十年了 All right, 30 years. That was on my bucket list for like 30 years.
我完成了 牛羚大迁徙 We just got it, the migration of the wildebeest,
还有渡河 the crossing of the river.
我们完成了这次的任务 We have done what we have come to done.
成千上万个独立的生物 Thousands and thousands of individual organisms
为了生存而团结 surviving by joining together.
集体迁徙是动力也是保护机制 The swarm drives them and protects them.
不是所有动物都能达阵 Not everyone can make it.
但绝大部分会成功 But most of them do.
你看它们 就像绑在一起一样 Look at them go. It's like they're tied together.
你可以感觉到它们之间的联系 You can, like. . . You can feel the connection.
看起来 就算在好几英里外 它们也能感受到 So it looks like, even from. . .
What could be a quarter mile away, that they know.
就像后面那一群 它们可以感应到前方 Like these all the way back here, can sense what's happening up here.
过去三十年 这画面一直在我脑中 For almost 30 years, I've had an image in my mind.
上百万只牛羚 遍布在非洲大草原上 The plains of Africa dense with millions of wildebeest.
但最后 我看到了意料之外的东西 But in the end, I saw something I wasn't expecting.
它们不是上百万只动物 It's not millions of animals at all.
它们是一体的 It's just one.
如同乔治所说 改变你的观点 换个镜头 Like George said, shift your perspective,
switch your lens,
你就会发现大迁徙无所不在 and you'll see the swarm everywhere.
这不禁令人好奇 它们知道自己是大迁徙的一份子吗？ Makes you wonder, do they even know they're in a swarm?
仔细一想 人类知道吗？ Come to think of it, do we?
可恶 这问题好深奥 Damn. Now, that's a question.
下一集 我将追逐一只可怕的猎食者 Next, I'm on the trail of a deadly predator.
有鲨鱼！ MALE VOICE: Shark!
-哇 它出现了 你抓到了 -Whoa, there he is. Mm-hmm, you got one.
WILL: Aw, yeah.
还要利用嗅觉去解开无人岛之谜 Following my nose to solve a desert island mystery.
哇 这太美了 Whoa, that is gorgeous.
结果发现气味能够以假乱真 And discover that smell is not what it seems.
