味道好臭 -WILL: This smells terrible. That's the whole point.
臭才有用
威尔 多用点力 CRISTINA: Hey, Will, try to put a little muscle into it.
-好 用力甩 -WILL: All right. CRISTINA: Give it a good shake.
探险家克里斯蒂娜·米特迈尔 保育摄影师
我记得《大白鲨》也出现过这一幕 -Yeah, I remember this from Jaws.
带您探索地球
南纬11. 5905度 东经144. 034度 大堡礁
虎鲨一生通常独来独往 WILL: Tiger sharks usually spend their lives alone,
在海里悠游 wandering the oceans.
但它们一年会聚集一次 But once a year, they mass together near the Great Barrier Reef,
就在大堡礁一带 往同个方向前进
all heading in one single direction.
嘿 -Oh, hey. Mm-hmm. You got one.
你抓到一只了
宝贝 快来我们这里 动作快 Come to us, baby.
Quick, quick, quick.
快用力拉过来 RESEARCHER 1: Pull it right in. Pull it quick, quick. Pull it right in.
把它拉过来 稳住 Pull up, pull up. Steady.
别让它反抗 Don't let him fight!
不要让它跑了 Don't let him fight! Don't let go!
好呀 我抓到你了 拉紧绳子 -RESEARCHER 2: Yeehaw. I've got you. Pulling him tight.
好 威尔 抓好绳子 -Okay, Will. Hang on to that rope. WILL: Yup.
好
这群澳大利亚研究员 想追踪其中一只虎鲨 WILL: These Australian researchers want to track one of the sharks
看看它们会游向何方 to find out where they're going.
-威尔 你抓到它了吗？ 我抓住另一头了 -RESEARCHER 1: You got her there, Will? WILL: I'm on the other side.
好 Yup. Hold the tail high.
好 把尾巴拉高 绑得很紧 没问题 That was good, you're secure.
小心它的牙齿 RESEARCHER 2: Watch those teeth.
小心 绳子缠住你的脚了 Watch that, it's still around your leg.
快點 抓住 Come on, get that!
-准备好了吗？ 好了 -RESEARCHER 1: Ready? RESEARCHER 2: Yup.
-把它翻过来 这只实在是… RESEARCHER 1: And rolling.
This one's a, uh. . .
它不会有事吧？ WILL: He's okay, right? He'll be all right?
它是母的啦 RESEARCHER 2: Especially if you start calling her "she. " She'll be much better.
别搞错性别 它就会好好的
原来它是母的 WILL: "She? " All right.
我得用对性别代名词 抱歉 Gotta watch the gender pronouns, sorry.
他们没有用鱼钩 所以它没受伤 CRISTINA: They don't use hooks, so she's not harmed.
有多大？ How big is it?
-可以了 它身长多长？ -WILL: Yup. Got it. What is it?
-3. 4公尺 大约12呎 -WILL: Three point four. Which'll be about twelve feet.
3. 4公尺 -All right. Three-four!
它真美丽 WILL: She's magnificent.
现在要做什么？ WILL: Now what?
我们想追踪这一带虎鲨的活动 RESEARCHER 1: Uh. Well, we're trying to learn what the sharks are doing here. . .
因为我们得知道它们往哪里游 'cause we need to know where they go, what their home ranges are,
活动范围多大 这样就能透过卫星追踪 and then we can follow it via satellite.
我们透过潮汐知道这些虎鲨 We know from the tiding that these sharks are coming
来自千里之外 from thousands of miles away.
我们也知道 鲨鱼在水中能跟随气味 And we know that sharks follow smells underwater.
所以它们在此聚集 是因为闻到味道 So, we know that they're here because they smell something.
在自然界中 气味可以决定生死 WILL: In nature, smell can mean the difference between life and death,
对付鲨鱼 更是面临生死关头 particularly, when you're dealing with sharks.
问题是 它们要去哪里？ 原因为何？ The question is where are they going and why?
气味的力量
-你第一次对付虎鲨 对 RESEARCHER 1: Your first tiger shark. Yeah, well. . .
对 不需要再来一次了 -I'm not gonna need to do that two times. RESEARCHER 1: No?
真的？
虎鲨非善类 甚至会吃其他鲨鱼 WILL: Tiger sharks are so mean that they eat other sharks.
潜入水中拍摄虎鲨 So, getting into the water to photograph one?
危险程度更上一层楼 That's next level.
你可以吗？需要什么？ -You're good? What do you need? CRISTINA: My camera.
摄影机
当你在水里和虎鲨面对面 Nothing reminds you of how small and fragile humans are
才能真正理解 人类究竟有多么渺小脆弱 than being in the water with a tiger shark.
胆小勿试 It's not for the faint of heart.
你必须潜到海洋深处 It takes diving into the deep end
沈浸在它们的世界 and really immersing yourself in their world
才能认识这些生物 to begin to understand these creatures.
我是野生动物摄影师 Being a wildlife photographer, what I'm trying to do
致力用影像捕捉地球的样貌 is paint a picture of our planet.
我想展现大自然独特之美 I try to show what's beautiful and special about nature,
地球的壮丽风貌 它让生物生生不息 the majesty of our planet and how it supports all living things,
包括人类 including humans.
克里斯蒂娜要上来了 Cristina's coming up.
-嗨 我的摄影机 -WILL: Hey. CHRISTINA: Hey, Will!
-帮我拿好摄影机 好 -My camera? WILL: Uh. Yup.
你有拍到满意的镜头吗？ Did you get the shots you wanted?
-有 好 -CRISTINA: I did. WILL: Okay.
我拍了一张鲨鱼 拍得很好 也帮你拍了一张 I did. I got a great shot of the shark and a shot of you.
我看起来吓坏了吗？ Did my face looks too scared?
-没有 你看起来很从容 好 我看起来很坚强？ -CRISTINA: No, you looked good. I looked good. Did I look strong?
太好了 Okay. All right.
被绑标签的鲨鱼返回正轨 继续往前游 WILL: The tagged shark goes straight back on track. . .
不偏不倚地前进 like it's locked on course.
某种强大的力量吸引着它们 Something powerful is attracting them.
到底是什么？ But what?
我童年生活的某种气味 或许就是线索 There might be a clue in a smell that takes me right back to being a kid.
北纬47. 6618度 东经23. 6921度
罗马尼亚
我相信你对这个气味也不陌生 WILL: A smell I bet you know too.
新割下的青草味 Freshly cut grass.
青草被割下后会散发一种气味 When grass is cut, it releases a scent
直冲你的脑门 that floats straight to the front of your brain. . .
让大脑记下这些回忆和情绪 going to the exact spot where memories and emotions are made.
所以气味才会这么栩栩如生 WILL: That's why smells can be so vivid. . .
力量无穷 so powerful.
割下的青草 And cut grass?
就是夏天的专属气味 That's the smell of summer.
毛毛虫吃青草 When a caterpillar takes a bite of grass,
也会散发同一种气味 it releases that same scent.
立刻就能产生相同效应 And once again. . . WILL: . . . it has an instant effect.
但这不再是夏天的气味 WILL: But now, it's not the smell of summer.
而是午餐的气息 It's the smell of lunch.
嗅觉是五感中 唯一不经过滤的感官 Smell is the only sense with no filter.
直接刻印在大脑 It's hardwired straight to the brain.
但有些动物的嗅觉比较敏锐 It's just that some of us are better at smelling than others.
鲨鱼的嗅觉远超人类 CRISTINA: Sharks have a sense of smell that's hundreds of times more potent
比人类准确好几百倍 and accurate than that of humans.
它们的大脑对气味特别敏感 Such an enormous part of their brain is dedicated to smelling,
好让它们在汪洋大海中 寻找出路 to finding their way through the vast expanse of the ocean.
被装上追踪器的鲨鱼正在移动 WILL: The shark with the tracker is on the move.
我们也是 And so are we.
我记得《大白鲨》里的角色从没说过 I don't remember anyone in Jaws saying,
“我们需要比较小的船” "We're gonna need a smaller boat. "
鲨鱼从四面八方游过来 CRISTINA: Sharks are coming from all over the place,
瞄准这片狭小土地 and they're all honing in on this particular little spot of land
这里渺无人烟 in the middle of nowhere. . .
南纬11. 5905度 东经144. 034度
澳大利亚雷恩岛
雷恩岛 Raine Island.
这座岛屿有什么特别之处？ So what's happening on the island?
我们接下来得找出答案 That's the next thing that we need to figure out.
这片汪洋大海中的小沙地 为何如此特别？ What makes this speck of sand in the middle of the ocean so special,
动物将它视为麦加 争相来朝圣 such a mecca for these creatures to be here?
那是一只海龟吗？ Is that a turtle?
-对 哇 它在那里 -WILL: Yes, wow. There it is, there it is.
哦 哇 WILL: Oh, wow.
它浮上水面吸一口气 就回到水里？ WILL: So, they're taking a breath and going down?
海龟能在水里憋气长达七小时 CRISTINA: A sea turtle can hold its breath under water for up to seven hours.
所以当你看到同一只海龟 So, when you see the same turtle popping its head up
不停探出头来 over, and over, and over again. . .
绝对不只是呼吸 you know, they clearly are not just breathing,
更是在嗅闻气味 they're smelling for something, they're sniffing.
海龟是少数在水里和空气中 都能呼吸的动物 Turtles are one of the few animals that can smell both in water and air.
所以才把鼻子伸出水面 That's why they're popping their noses out.
无论海龟闻到什么气味 WILL: And whatever it is that they're sniffing,
似乎都带领它们和鲨鱼 往同个方向前进 it seems to be sending them the same way as the sharks.
那里有一只、两只 WILL: There's one. There's two.
-对 还有一只 -CRISTINA: Yeah. WILL: One there.
-看看它们 真壮观 -CRISTINA: Just look at them. Wow. WILL: Oh, that's fantastic.
到处都是海龟 They're all over this place.
-我看到越来越多只了 对 -WILL: I see more and more and more. CRISTINA: Yeah.
哇 真是不可思议 WILL: Wow. That is gorgeous.
海里好多海龟 -WILL: There's a lot of turtles out there. CRISTINA: A lot of turtles.
非常多
多到数不清 So many.
鲨鱼吃海龟吗？ WILL: Can a shark eat a turtle?
这根本是海龟吃到饱 Because, I mean, this looks like a turtle buffet.
唯有最尖利的牙齿才能咬断龟壳 CRISTINA: You need incredible teeth to munch through that shell.
虎鲨是地球上少数 Tiger sharks are one of the only creatures on the planet
能把成年绿蠵龟吃下肚的动物 capable of eating an adult green sea turtle.
但这群海龟看到鲨鱼 却一点也不害怕 WILL: But the turtles aren't sweating these sharks one bit.
鲨鱼直接从它们身边游过 And the sharks are swimming right on past.
海龟和鲨鱼看起来 It seems like the turtles and the sharks are being drawn to this island.
都被引到这座岛屿
雷恩岛是片圣地 WILL: Raine Island is sacred ground.
若想上岸 得先取得 If you wanna go ashore, you first have to get permission
岛屿管理员的许可 from the guardians of the island.
嗨 JOHNSON: Hello!
法伦帕西 美利安族长者 Ma'am. Ma'am.
-嗨 嗨 欢迎 -CRISTINA: Hello! FALEN: Ma'am.
约翰逊·奇彭代尔 乌塔提长者 Hello. Welcome. -How are you? Yeah, good thanks.
-你好吗？ 很好 谢谢
-克里斯蒂娜 嗨 欢迎登岛 -Cristina. Hello, hello. -Hi. Yeah. Welcome.
-威尔 约翰逊 我是约翰逊 -Will. I'm good. JOHNSON: Yeah. Johnson.
欢迎来到我们的岛屿 -Johnson. JOHNSON: I'd like to welcome you to our island.
接着要进行净身仪式 除去外来世界的气味 WILL: And then there's a ritual to help get rid
of any scents from elsewhere.
在登岛前 我们会把气味 抹在你的肩膀和头上 JOHNSON: Before we allow you, usually you put odor
both on your shoulders and on your head.
目的是要保护你 -Mm-hmm. JOHNSON: Yeah. This is to protect you.
-你要把你的气味抹在我身上？ 对 -This is like your smell you're giving me? JOHNSON: Yes.
真酷 我需要万全保护 -Oh, how cool is that. JOHNSON: Yes, so. . . I need all the protection I can get, so. . .
对 Yeah.
非常感谢你们热情款待 我们受宠若惊 You know, we're very grateful and very honored for your hospitality.
谢谢你们 -Yes. Thank you so much.
我从未到过这么重视气味的地方 WILL: I can't ever remember being in a place
where smell is so important
对人类和动物皆然 for humans and animals.
但这座岛屿到底发出什么信号？ But what signal is it sending out?
北纬59. 246度 西经136. 224度
美国阿拉斯加
一名探险家或许有独特见解 WILL: One explorer might have a unique insight.
左转 MALE VOICE 1: Left turn!
划桨 往右转 Paddle.
直直往前 很好 And right turn. Hold that line. Perfect.
我可以溯溪一整天 I could do that all day.
探险家埃里克·魏亨迈尔 登山家
埃里克双眼失明 WILL: Because Erik can't see,
因此他比其他人更依赖嗅觉 he relies on smell much more than the rest of us.
野外充满险恶 ERIK: The wilderness can be such a hostile place.
我这个盲人一直在思考 And I always, as a blind person, thought, "Could I flourish in that environment? "
“我能适应这险恶环境吗？”
我闻到鲑鱼的味道 See, I'm getting a whiff of salmon.
有鲑鱼的地方就有熊出没 所以要小心 Where there are salmon, there are bears, so heads up.
哇 我的天啊 MALE VOICE 2: Oh, wow. Holy cow. He's looking right at us.
它直盯着我们看
它知道我们在这里 Oh, he knows we're here.
该怎么办？ MALE VOICE 2: What should we do?
我们应该保持安静 压低身子 这是它们的地盘 ERIK: Wow. We should be very quiet. Shrink down. This is their neighborhood.
让它们尽情狩猎 Let 'em do their thing.
我失明后开始注意到其他感官 ERIK: When I lost my sight, I started paying attention
to my other senses.
发现我以前不曾注意的气味 I started recognizing smells that I hadn't noticed before.
我学会在雨水落下前 就闻到雨的味道 I've learned to smell the rain before the drops come.
或是被阳光照射的雪的气味 Or the smell of snow when it's baked by the sun.
我经常能靠着独特气味 判断花草树木 Or often, I can recognize trees and plants by their unique scents.
我清楚闻到 空气中弥漫的鲑鱼气味 The scent of salmon in the air is so clear to me.
这股气味很浓郁 It's a pretty intense smell.
所以我才能在这个环境下 正常行动 如鱼得水 This is how I'm able not just to function but to really thrive in this environment.
埃里克闻得到 空气中弥漫的鲑鱼气味 WILL: Erik can smell the salmon in the water.
但鲑鱼闻到的气味更是一绝 But the salmon are smelling something even more extraordinary.
上千条河流流进太平洋 Thousands of rivers pour into the Pacific Ocean.
但鲑鱼却能找到 自己出生的那条河流 Somehow the salmon find their way up the right one to the place they were born.
你以为鲨鱼嗅觉灵敏 And if you thought the sharks were good at smelling,
但鲑鱼更厉害 these guys are even better.
它们能在十亿滴水滴中 闻到其中两滴的特殊气味 They can pick up a couple of drops of scent
in one billion drops of water.
看得出来这里是雨林吧？ ERIK: You can definitely tell that we're in the rainforest now, huh?
对 MALE VOICE 2: Oh, yeah.
霉味并非来自树木 而是菌类散发出来的 ERIK: The musty smell isn't really the trees,
it's more the fungi.
说到菌类 我们会想到单颗蘑菇 WILL: When we think of fungus, we think of a single mushroom.
但蘑菇只是庞然大物的果实 But that's just the fruit of something much bigger.
它宛如大型蜘蛛网 在树根之间织网 It's like a giant spider web weaving between the tree roots.
缕缕菌丝在森林中连结 The strands connect the forest to such an extent
甚至能让树木彼此传递 水分、营养物和讯息 that the trees can pass water, nutrients, even messages between each other.
菌丝和广袤森林形成单一体系 WILL: Together, they join huge areas of forest
into one single system.
科学家称之为树联网 Scientists call it the wood wide web.
当雨滴落下 So when it rains,
不只河岸的气味会流进溪流 it's not just the smell of the riverbank that's flowing into the stream,
树联网的气味也跟着进入溪流 it's the smell of that wood wide web.
鲑鱼会记住这股独特的混合气味 A unique cocktail that stays in the salmon's memory.
它能引导它们 从千里之外返回老家 And guides them hundreds of miles home.
鲑鱼闻到的不是老家河流的气味 The salmon aren't picking up the smell of their home river,
而是老家河岸的气味 but the smell of their home riverbank.
可是雷恩岛上没有树木生长 But there's no trees on Raine Island.
所以海龟和鲨鱼究竟是闻到什么？ So, what do the turtles and sharks smell?
克里斯蒂娜认为 得从两栖动物身上找答案 Cristina reckons. . .
we need to get amphibious.
但鲨鱼环伺 我只能待在海面上 WILL: Though, with sharks about, I'm staying near the surface.
虽然它看起来只是一个珊瑚 CRISTINA: You know, even though it looks like one piece of coral. . .
每个分支都是由 数以千计的微小生物形成 each branch is actually made of thousands of tiny creatures. . .
有自己的嘴巴和触手 with its own mouth and tentacles.
但每个生物里 又住着更渺小的藻类 But in every creature lives an even tinier algae. . .
每个藻类都会释放出 极小的香气泡泡 and each of those algae release minute bubbles of aromatic gas.
仔细瞧就能看见 If you look close enough, you can actually see it.
这个香气会散发独特气味 It's this gas that gives off a unique-smelling fingerprint.
能让海龟知道陆地就在不远前方 But it is that smell that tells the turtles
因为珊瑚礁只能在浅水生长 that they're approaching land because the coral reef can only grow in shallow waters.
所以我们认为的海洋气味 So essentially,
what is for us the smell of the ocean,
对海龟来说反而是陆地的气息 for turtles is the smell of land.
就是这样 You got it.
我小时候 全家经常开车去大西洋城 WILL: When I was a kid, we'd sometimes drive to Atlantic City.
一闻到海的味道就知道要到了 令人兴奋不已 It was exciting to get that first whiff of the sea
and know we were nearly there,
因为我知道终于快能下车了 'cause you knew you'd be able to get out of that damn car soon.
这就是气味的非凡之处 That's the incredible thing about smell.
只要闻到些许海洋气味 One hint of that scent and I'm remembering my childhood vacations.
我就会想起一次次的童年旅行
但对海龟来说 同样的气味似乎能指引回家的路 But for these turtles, that same smell seems to be about finding their way home.
这里的海岸超过1609公里 WILL: There's over one thousand miles of shore here.
这里是大堡礁 We're on the Great Barrier Reef,
地球上最长的珊瑚礁群 the longest stretch of coral anywhere on the planet.
你能循着它散发的气味 来到正确目的地 The smell it gives off might get you into the right city. . .
但若要前往岛上秘境 得依赖另一种气味 WILL: . . . but it's a different smell that's gonna get you to the right street.
雷恩岛也以鸟类闻名 CRISTINA: The only other thing Raine Island is famous for is birds.
天啊 它们实在有够臭 And, oh, boy, do they stink.
-这股气味很特别吧 没错 -Very distinct smell, no? Yeah, that's a very distinct smell.
这种鸟的味道组成复杂 CRISTINA: That bird smell is a tricky one because it's a cocktail.
混合了死鱼、粪便和海洋气味 It's a concoction of dead fish and poo, and that sea smell,
既新鲜又已长达数个月不散 and it's fresh, and it's also been sitting there for months.
难以形容 却叫人永生难忘 I mean it's, um, it's. . . it's hard to describe,
but it's, uh, pretty unforgettable.
这一片都是原始的鸟粪？ So all of this back here is the original guano?
对 -Yes. WILL: So this is. . .
是几千年来鸟的… tens of thousands of years of birds. . .
大便的科学术语怎么说？ Uh. What's the. . . what's the scientific word for pooping?
好… Uh. . . -Okay. All right, so. . . Or uh. . .
排便 -Evacuating. WILL: Evac. . .
排便？好 也太不科学了 It just, uh, makes me feel very, very unscience-y.
这股气味让我想逃离这座岛屿 WILL: That smell makes me want to evacuate this island.
但吸引上千动物来此聚集的 或许就是这股恶臭 But it might be that nasty stink that's bringing thousands of animals in. . .
海龟闻到珊瑚散发的气味 WILL: So, the turtles smell land by picking up the gases released
才闻到陆地 by the coral.
它们特别游来这座岛屿 And then they hone in on this particular island
是因为受鸟类的排泄物吸引 because of the smell of the bird. . .
但它们到底来做什么？ evacuation. But why are they coming here?
另一种水中动物能提供线索 WILL: Well, there's another underwater animal that can give us a clue.
南纬8. 90257度 东经116. 295度
印度尼西亚龙目岛
跟雷恩岛一样 印度尼西亚沿岸的珊瑚礁 Just like Raine Island, the coral reefs off Indonesia
也是某种动物的秘密聚集地 are home to a secret gathering.
但不是海龟 But not turtles.
在某个春夜 On one night in spring,
矶沙蚕会突然从珊瑚礁里冒出来 Palolo worms suddenly start to emerge from the reef.
并释放出一种气味 And as they do, they release a scent.
它们天生就会追随这股香气 A fragrance they were born to follow.
因为自然界里的气味 Because smell in the natural world doesn't always mean food.
不永远代表有食物
有时也代表交配 Sometimes, it means sex.
光凭这股气味 就能激发矶沙蚕产卵 WILL: That scent is enough to trigger the worms to release their eggs.
这种大规模产卵一年只有一次 A mass spawning that only happens once a year.
海龟也抱持相同目的 That's what the turtles are up to too.
它们聚集在此是为了产卵 Coming together to lay their eggs.
这片沙滩上没有公海龟 CRISTINA: No, there's not a single male turtle on this beach.
-都是母的 哇 -They're all girls. WILL: Oh, wow.
你看 -CRISTINA: Oh, look at this. WILL: That's a turtle egg shell.
这是海龟蛋的壳
这就是没有孵化的卵 So, this here is an egg that didn't hatch. You can tell. . .
因为里面都是卵黄 -WILL: Oh. . . . because it's got all the yolk in.
-海龟卵既坚韧又多孔 对 CRISTINA: Because it's leathery. -It's, uh, porous, so. . . WILL: Yeah.
所以在里面孵化的海龟宝宝 也能闻到气味 . . . the baby egg. . . the baby hatchling inside can actually smell
它还在卵里就会牢牢记住 even while it's in the nest,
出生岛屿的气味 and it starts picking up the scent of the island where she was born.
海龟在这座岛屿出生、产卵 WILL: The turtles are born here and they lay their eggs here.
却不住在这里 But they don't live here.
它们其实很少上岸 In fact, they rarely come ashore at all.
对许多海龟来说 这是它们多年来第一次上岸 For many, it's the first time they've been on land for years.
就像航天员回到地球 再次感受到地心引力 And, like an astronaut experiencing gravity again,
上岸的海龟也会突然 感觉到自己真正的体重 they suddenly feel their true weight.
重达158公斤 All 350 pounds of it.
它们在海滩上奋力前进 直到远离潮界线 WILL: They struggle up the beach until they're far enough away
才会开始挖洞 from the tide line to dig a nest.
但是天气炎热 气温超过摄氏37度 But it's hot. More than a 100 degrees.
它们得尽快产卵 回到海里 They need to lay their eggs and get back off the beach
才不会被太阳烤焦 before they get baked in the sun.
它们必须动作快 They have to rush.
但一赶就有可能滑倒 甚至丧命 And when you rush, one slip. . .
can have deadly consequences.
凯瑟琳·罗伯逊 昆士兰野生动物服务处 She slipped off these rocks here during the night
它趁着夜晚上岸产卵 却被岩石绊倒 when she was up trying to lay, so we need to turn her on her side
所以我们得把它翻过来
若它维持这个姿势不动 um, and get righted up. Otherwise, if she stays like this,
白天就会被太阳晒死 she's gonna die during the day with the heat of the sun.
-我们可以帮忙吗？ 当然 -WILL: And can we help? Yeah, we'd love a hand.
-来帮它翻身吧 动手吧 -WILL: Let's do it. KATHARINE: Let's dig in
好 从下面动手？ -and help flip her. WILL: Okay, so we go under.
对 要小心喔 JOHNSON: Yeah. And be careful. . .
别被鳍肢挥到 WILL: Mm-hmm. . . . from the flipper, otherwise you're gonna get slapped.
小心别被打到 懂了 但这不是我的专长 Avoid being slapped. Got it. Never been good at that.
你很厉害啦 JOHNSON: So good. JOHNSON: So good.
-小心 好 -Be careful. WILL: Yeah.
准备好了吗？ 三、二、一 开始 Ready. One, two, three, go.
它力气好大 -Hmm. That thing is strong.
对 所以才要小心鳍肢 -Whoo! Yeah, that's why you watch the flipper.
-难怪 对 所以你才站不稳 -That's why you were so moved. WILL: That figures. Okay, yeah.
它的鳍肢跟我的手臂一样强壮 WILL: Her arm is as strong as mine.
里面好像装了 It's like there's almost a. . . like a baseball bat
棒球棒 in the. . . in the middle of it.
-真的吗？ 力气大得吓人 -KATHARINE: Seriously? Like that's how strong it feels.
若没有我们帮忙 这只海龟妈妈绝对会被热死 WILL: Without our help, this turtle mom would almost certainly have fried to death
在夕阳西下前死亡 before the day was out.
每年有两千只海龟因此而死 As many as 2000 die that way every single year.
但这只海龟妈妈逃过一劫 它会平安无事 But not this one. Not this mom.
太好了 She's gonna be okay. -That was beautiful. Wow. Wow, she still looks strong too.
哇 它看起来还是孔武有力
它往海洋爬去 你看 CRISTINA: Off she goes. Look at that.
谢谢 Thank you.
真是不可思议 WILL: That's fantastic.
但并非所有故事都有美好结局 WILL: Not every story has a happy ending.
这股味道真难闻 That is a horrendous smell.
-这只海龟可没那么幸运 对 -Oh, wow. This one didn't make it. Yeah.
-真可怜 我知道 它差一点就成功了 -Yeah, that's rough. CRISTINA: I know. She almost did it.
你认为它是累死的？ WILL: And you think it's just exhaustion?
它可能是被困在这里热死的 She probably got trapped up here, got too hot.
我懂 Got it.
海滩上气温超过37度 CRISTINA: It's over 100 degrees on this beach.
这只海龟妈妈甘冒一切风险 就为了上岸产卵 This is one mother who braved everything to lay her eggs,
却再也回不到水里 but she never made it back to the water.
它闻起来似乎死了一段时间 Smells like she's been here a while too.
幸好在自然界里 任何东西都不会浪费 The good news is that in nature, nothing is wasted.
对 Right.
这就是解答 WILL: And that's the answer.
鲨鱼被腐烂尸体吸引而来 That rotting flesh is what the sharks have come for.
它们不想对抗活海龟 They don't want to take on a live turtle.
第一 海龟鳍肢力大无穷 Those flippers, for one thing.
但也因为它们不必冒险 But they don't have to.
有许多海龟尸体 等着被它们吃下肚 There are plenty of dead ones to eat instead.
数十只海龟妈妈上岸产卵 Dozens of mothers who came here to lay their eggs,
却死在岸上 来不及回到海中 but died before they could get back to the sea.
鲨鱼只需在浅水中耐心等待涨潮 All the sharks have to do is wait in the shallows
for the tide to rise.
死亡气味吸引鲨鱼前来此地 The smell that draws the sharks here is the smell of death.
牺牲的味道 The smell of sacrifice.
尽管危险重重 只要是活下来的海龟妈妈 WILL: Despite the dangers, any mother that survives
都会再次追随岛屿的气味 will be back following the scent of the island,
冒着生命危险回来 risking their lives once again.
这就是气味的有趣之处
That's the funny thing about smell.
它代表的意义因生物而异 It means different things to different creatures.
生命和诞生呼召海龟前来 Life and birth brings the turtles.
我们闻到鸟粪 它们却闻到家的味道 Where we smell bird poop, they smell home.
腐烂气味吸引鲨鱼过来 Decay is bringing the sharks.
我们闻到死亡 它们却闻到食物 Where we smell death. . . they smell dinner.
