Revered and feared,the majestic tiger has been hunted to the brink of extinction. 令人敬畏的森林之王——老虎已被捕杀到了濒临灭绝的边缘
But the mysterious Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan may hold new hope. 但是,神秘的喜马拉雅王国--不丹可能会带来新的希望
What we find out here could be essential for the survival of the species. 我们发现这里对物种的生存极为重要
The expedition has found tigers in the tropical south. 探险队在这里发现了南方热带老虎的踪影
Now, the search continues into the mountains, where science says tigers shouldn't exist. 现在，他们继续进山里搜寻,科学地讲老虎不该出现在这里
We have to look everywhere. 我们必须四处寻找
We have to search everything. That's our mission. 我们要找寻一切生物.这是我们的使命
As the team take on the mighty Himalayas, they will face their toughest challenges yet. 随着队伍深入喜马拉雅山，最严峻的挑战还在后头
Predators enter camp. 捕食者进入营地
We've got a cat! Gee! Oh, we've got a cat. 我们看到一只“大猫”了！ 快！哦，我们看到一只“大猫”了
Oh! Food supplies are ruined. 哦！食物供给中断
I've suddenly become a vegetarian. 瞬时我变成一个素食主义者
And they are stalked by big cats. 他们被“大猫”阻断
And I don't know where the hell I am. 真不知道自己身在何处
What they discover in the mountains could change the fate of tigers forever. 他们在森林中的发现也许会就此改变老虎的命运
Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh. 哦，天！我的天啊
Bhutan is a little-known Himalayan country. 不丹是个鲜为人知的喜马拉雅王国
From its border with India, the land rises 7,000 metres into the highest mountain range on earth. 同印度接壤，在7000米海拔的高山上
For three weeks, the expedition has been based in the tropical south. 三个月来，探险队都在森林南部驻扎
Now they're packing up jungle base camp. 现在他们正收拾行囊
The final and most crucial phase of the expedition has begun. 准备进入最后阶段，开始最关键的冒险环节
A small team is travelling into the high Himalayas 一个小支队已经进入喜马拉雅高处
to investigate rumours that tigers are living at extreme altitudes. 为了验证在海拔极高处有老虎生活的传言是否属实
Gordon Buchanan is a wildlife cameraman, with 10 years' experience filming big cats. Gordon Buchanan是一名野生动物摄录家，有着10年摄录大型猫科动物的经验
He's returning to these mountains to check the camera traps he set at the start of the expedition. 他返回这些山峦来检查冒险最初设置的便携摄像机
All ready to go. 大家都准备出发了
Good luck. 好运
It's quite exciting because all this time that I've been at base camp, 在营地无时不刻都令人兴奋不已
the camera traps that I laid up in the Himalayas a good while back, 我在喜马拉雅高山放置许久的红外摄录机
they've been clicking away and recording images up there. 已开动并至始至终地记录影像
With Gordon is Oxford University biologist Dr George McGavin. 随行的还有牛津大学的生物学博士George McGavin
He will be carrying out a health check of the forest, to see if it's rich enough to support big cats. George McGavin会完成了一份森林健康报告，以此判断此地是否适合大型猫科动物存活
The cooler, higher altitude will have a completely different fauna. 更冷、更高的海拔处有完全不同的动物群
Totally uncharted, unknown in terms of its animals and plants. 对这动植物几乎都一无所知
These mountains are the missing piece of a puzzle that might save tigers from extinction in the wild. 这些山峦就是可能拯救野生老虎的迷失碎片
Tigers used to range across all of Asia. 老虎曾遍布亚洲
Only small pockets remain. 而今只有小部分存留
But there is a master plan 但那有一个总图
to link isolated tiger populations in the last wild landscape along the foothills of the Himalayas. 在喜马拉雅山脚最后一片野生景观带处，将存留失落而彼此孤立开的虎群连接起来
No-one knows how many tigers there are in Bhutan. 无人知晓不丹到底有多少老虎
The vast tiger corridor will only be effective if evidence of tigers can be found. 只有找到老虎存活的证据，“大走廊”才有意义
Not just in its southern jungles, but in the mountains, too. 不知是在南部丛林，山峦上也是如此
Time is not on their side. 时不待人
Tigers could go extinct over the next one or two decades. 老虎在未来一二十年内就可能灭绝
Literally, tigers are dying as we speak. 说话当儿，老虎就正遭遇死亡
The inspiration behind this master plan to save tigers is big cat expert Dr Alan Rabinowitz. 正是老虎专家 Alan Rabinowitz博士带来这个总图的灵感
The Himalayan corridor, by its nature, by its name, is a very mountainous region. 喜马拉雅大走廊，自然资源丰富，也名副其实，是多山地区
Its survival will depend on whether or not 老虎能否存活取决于
tigers can live and move through some of these high mountain ranges. 它们能否在这些高山地区生活并自由走动
The team has just two weeks to find that vital evidence. 团队仅剩两周的时间寻找关键证据
Gordon and George's new base camp is 3km higher than their last one. Gordon 和George的新营地按扎在离之前3千米高的地方
With the help of local herders, 在当地牧民帮助下
There are no roads here. 这里没有公路
So the expedition's kit is arriving by pony train. 因而探险队的装备要靠小马队搬运送达
Gordon's prepared for anything. He's brought an arsenal of high-tech cameras. Gordon已经万事俱备，带上兵工厂的高科技摄像机
If we're going to be successful up here, we have to throw everything we've got at it. 若想在这取得成功，我们必须竭尽全力，付出所有
So we've got the thermal camera, we've got the infra-red camera, 因而我们带上了热成像和红外摄录机
we've got the big long lens and the camera traps. 我们还有超级长焦镜头 和摄录“陷阱”
Because for Alan's idea of the tiger corridor to work, 为了使老虎“大走廊”奏效
we not only have to find tigers down in the south, but we have to find tigers throughout Bhutan. 我们不只要在南面找到老虎，还要再整个不丹有所发现
Explorer Steve Backshall is the third and final member of the mountain team. 探险家Steve Backshall是第三位也是高山支队的最后一名成员
He is five days' walk to the northeast of Gordon and George's mountain camp. 他要连续五天徒步到达东北面Gordon和George在山上的营地
Steve's trekking up to the Tibetan border, to a remote peak where tigers are rumoured to roam. Steve艰难跋涉到西藏边疆，一个传说中有老虎漫步的偏远山峰处
Local people call it Gang Chen Ta - Tiger Mountain. 当地人称之为虎山
As far as knowledge of tigers go, this part of the Himalaya hasn't been explored by anybody. 喜马拉雅始终无人问津直到有老虎的消息
So any information we can find up here is going to be massively valuable. 因而我们在这发现的任何资料将弥足珍贵
Steve has tracked deadly predators across every continent. Steve已在各大洲追踪过各种致命肉食动物
Now he's on the trail of tigers. 这次他将追踪老虎
His field skills will help him discover whether legends of tigers 他的专业技巧将能帮助他找出有老虎
living at high altitude in the Himalayas are true. 生活在喜马拉雅高海拔处的传言是否属实
Fact and fiction can become blurred at these extreme altitudes. 在海拔极高处，真实或虚幻，一切也变得模糊起来
Just saw quite a large shape moving into these trees. 刚好似看到一个大的身形钻入大片森林中
I'm not 100% sure what it is, so going to just move quite quietly. 我无法 100% 确定这是什么，只是继续悄然前行
Bhutan's mysterious mountains are supposed to be home to a huge hairy creature called the Yeti. 不丹广袤神秘的山脉被认为生活有高大而多毛雪人
Oh, it's a yak. 哦，这是牦牛
There are some wild yak left in the Himalaya. There are not many. 喜马拉雅只存留一些野生牦牛，所剩无几
Most of them are domesticated, 绝大多数都被驯化了
and just allowed to roam free and graze like this one here. 只能像这样漫步吃草
Yak usually occur too high to be tiger prey. I've never heard of it happening. 牦牛往往因为生活的地方海拔高而不被老虎猎杀 我闻所未闻
But it could. 但并非不可能
A male tiger needs to eat close to Steve's body weight in fresh meat every week. 一只雄虎每周的食量是相当于Steve体重的鲜肉
The best way to track down an elusive tiger is to first find its prey. 找寻难以捉摸的老虎最好的办法是先发现它的猎物
On this main track that we've been walking on, 在这条我们经过的主要路径上
all of the tracks that are left behind 回头看看走过的所有小径
are from the shod hooves of horses and donkeys. 遗留的尽是马和驴的足迹
This here, this kind of chute running down the hillside is very, very steep, 在这儿，这类在山坡上疾驰而过的足迹
and it's not made by domestic animals. 并不像是驯养动物留下的
This is definitely coming from wild animals. 可以确定这是来自野生动物的
So there you can see a very definite cloven hoof. 因而你能很清晰地看到偶蹄
Slightly splayed because it's going uphill on a soft surface, 经由松软土壤上坡而微微张开
but that is from a sambar deer. 但那时一头水鹿
It's the largest deer found round here, and the favourite prey of the tiger. 这是附近发现的最大一头鹿，也是老虎最喜爱的猎物之一
So even though we haven't actually seen any of these animals yet they're definitely here, 因而即使还没有看到这些动物的身影，依旧能判定他们一定在这
and it's really, really good news for us because this is exactly the kind of large prey that tigers need. 因为这正是老虎所需的大型猎物，这是在是个好消息
I mean, they'd need to eat something the size of a sambar deer probably at least once a week. 我是指，它们每周至少要吃一只水鹿那样大小的食物
Before it gets dark, Gordon and George head off to get a feel for the forest around camp. 天黑之前， Gordon与George掉头到营地附近的森林中
BIRD CALLS 鸟鸣声
The altitude will make exploring here a physical challenge. 这的海拔使探险成为一项体力考验
We've just moved from the tropical forest at low altitude up to 10,000 feet in an hour, 我们刚在一小时内从低海拔的热带森林搬到近10000英尺地方
and you feel a bit breathless. 你会觉得有些喘
So, I'm not going to be racing about after insects for a day or two. 因而，我近一两天不准备追踪昆虫
Well, a day. 就一天吧
George will perform a rapid health check of this forest by surveying the smaller animals that live here. George会对生活在此处的小型动物做一个测量，依此完成一份健康报告
It's early spring, so it should be full of life. 还是初春，充满生机
Absolutely stunning. 绝对令人称奇
FAINT PECKING 匆匆一啄
A woodpecker. 一只啄木鸟
I reckon it will be very hard to see anything in this. 我本想这很难进轻易地发现什么

Gordon's exploring the perimeter of camp. Gordon正在营地周围探索
Just off the track, a huge scat. 沿途轨迹周边有一大坨粪便
This is probably the kind of upper end of a leopard scat, 这也许是豹子排泄物的上端
kind of lower end of a tiger scat. It could be either. 或是老虎排泄物的下端
But it is definitely from a big cat. 但它们绝对是来自猫科动物的
And we are... Camp is just on the other side of the trees there. 而营地在树林另一边
200 yards away. 折合约183米远的地方
Wow. 哇
I always think, where a cat walks once, it's likely to walk again. 我认为，如果猫科经过一个地方，极有可能再次经过
Amazing that we've just arrived and we're finding signs of big cats right beside camp. 令人称奇的是我们才刚到这，就在营地附近发现大型猫科的迹象
There's no way of telling if they're the droppings of a tiger or a leopard. 无从确定这些是否是老虎或雪豹的排泄物
It's a promising lead for the expedition, 这是探险队的好兆头
but signs of any big cat prowling so close is a serious worry for the herders. 但大型猫科在附近徘徊的迹象对牧人来说是个强烈的忧患
They round up their animals and light fires. 他们聚拢起自己的牲畜并点起火
One domestic animal like this would be an easy meal. 像这样单独的一只动物是轻而易举的盘中餐
25 may tempt the predator even closer. 25只更诱使食肉动物靠近
That's a very smart idea to have them all tied up to a rope here, 将他们都系在这根绳子上是相当明智的办法
where they can have an eye on them, 这样就能够监视他们
than having them all around the edge here. Cos that's a risk. 而非放任他们散落边缘地带，因为那样很危险
And they are now very concerned about the thought that they might lose one of their animals. 他们现在也就无需那么担心可能损失他们的牲畜
Big cats usually avoid humans. 大型猫科往往会避开人类
But hungry tigers and leopards WILL eat people. 但饥饿的老虎和豹子会吃掉人类
They ambush their prey, ideally in the pitch dark. 在极黑的理想环境下，他们伏击猎物
Everyone must be on their guard. 每个人都应当警惕起来
If a big cat does prowl close to camp, 若有一只大型猫科小心移动接近营地
Gordon should spot it, using night vision or thermal imaging gear, Gordon能用接收体热的夜视或热成像设备认出它
which picks up body heat.

He's not going to come down. I'm not going to put him off. 他不像会下来，我就过去
But if I can go ahead of him, I might get some shots of him on this camera. 但我若能在他前面，也许能抓拍一些照片

There's nowhere in the world that you can just show up, 世界上再没有一个地方你就这么出现
drop out of a helicopter and see leopards. Nowhere. 从直升机降落出来然后能发现豹子，再没有这样的地方了
Has this night been a one-off or are Bhutan's mountains a refuge for other rare cats? 今晚看到的只是一次碰巧偶然或不丹的山峦就是其他稀有猫科动物的庇护所
Finding leopards at this altitude 在这样的高度发现豹子
is no guarantee that tigers also exist here. 无法证明老虎也同样存在
Steve is trekking towards Tiger Mountain, Steve 正徒步前往虎山
along paths made by generations of remote Himalayan tribes. 沿着边缘喜马拉雅部落世代经过的步道
He's not finding the big prey he'd hoped for. 他并未发现希望中的大型猎物
Just caught a flash of golden colour, and having taken a few minutes just to look around me, 只捕捉到一闪而过的金色并扫视了我不过几分钟的项目

It's hilarious to watch. 这看着相当欢闹
Gordon is heading for the top of the mountain Gordon正朝着山顶前进
to check camera traps he set out at the very start of the expedition. 检查他刚开始探险时候设置的摄录机“陷阱”
Thick bamboo and the punishing gradient reminds him how unlike classic tiger habitat this is. 茂密的竹林和令人吃力的上坡让他觉得这不太可能是典型的老虎栖息地
Considering how much effort it takes me to walk round here, it's going to have an effect on the tigers. 考虑到我得费多少力才能走到这，这多少也对老虎有所影响
At the moment, I just think... 此时，我只是在想
it seems just ridiculous that they might even be here. 也许连老虎可能在这生存的想法是荒谬的

Which is the only way of finding out, to sit here and actually watch them. 的唯一方式就是坐在这确实观察
Obviously those birds are a lot better at finding 显然鸟类更能轻而易举地发现
earthworms and insects than I am. 蚯蚓昆虫
But then I'm not a white-collared blackbird. There we are. 但我并非白领山鸟，所以我们就呆在这了
Gordon's approaching the camera traps he set at 5,000 metres. Gordon接近他在5000米海拔高处设置的便携摄录“陷阱”
At this altitude, it's too harsh, even for trees. 这个海拔，即使对树木来说也环境险恶
Can tigers really have adapted to such an extreme environment? 老虎真的能适应这样的环境极限吗？
Gordon's camera traps may hold the answer. Gordon的摄录“陷阱”里也许有答案
They've been recording everything that moves past them. 它们记录下所有经过的事物
First one. 第一个
Come on, please, we've got to get something. 快来看，这儿有新发现
We've got to get something. 我们有新的发现

Oh, look, is that choughs? 哦，看，那是山鸦吗
Yeah, these birds have set it off. 鸟儿们开始飞翔
Actually, when I was up there, I saw the choughs flying about over that ridge. 实际上，当我上到这是，就看到山鸦群在山脊那边四处飞散

from the dustbins outside our houses and they can make a living here, high up in the Himalayas. 它们既能靠我们屋外的垃圾桶生存，也能在喜马拉雅高处存活
Oh, what was that? What was that? What was that? 哦，那是什么？
Jesus, is that a snow leopard? 天啊，那是只雪豹吗？
You ratbag! It is! 你这个怪人，真是个怪人！
Snow leopards are incredibly rare and elusive. 雪豹难以想象地稀有跟难以捉摸
Oh, wow. 哦，哇
No wonder hardly anybody sees these cats, they're just so well camouflaged. 难怪几乎没人看到它们，它们是在太能伪装了
You could literally walk past that within four metres and not see it, easily. 你很可能4米距离之内走过确对它的存在毫无意识
It looks like it's a cub. 它看来像一头小兽
And the reason it's staying there for such a long time, I'm guessing, 我猜它会在这逗留那么久
is that its mother has left it there while she's gone off hunting. 是因为它妈妈把它留在这而离开狩猎
Oh, wow. 哦，哇
That is just stunning. 真令人吃惊
Oh, it's come right up to the camera. 它正对着摄录机走来
That is one of the most exquisite-looking animals I've ever seen. 这是我见过的最美妙的动物之一
Snow leopards are an exceptional find. 雪豹是一个意外的发现
But maybe 5,000 metres is just too high for tigers. 但5000米的海拔也许对老虎来说太高了
Gordon decides to intensify his search lower down the mountain. Gordon决定加强在海拔较低处的搜寻
He's brought extra camera traps from the old base camp in the south 他从南面的旧营地带来了额外的便携摄录机
and sets them out across the mountain side, from the tree line at 4,000 metres... 将它们设置在山腰，沿4000米处的林木线，
right down to the bamboo forest near their new camp. 正在新营地附近的竹林处

I've suddenly become a vegetarian. 我突然成为一个素食者
In the far north of Bhutan, 远在不丹北
15 kilometres from the border with Tibet, Steve's almost in sight of Tiger Mountain, 离西藏边界15公里处，Steve几乎到了当地传言有老虎漫步的山脉处
where local legends say tigers roam.
This is probably our best chance of seeing things. We're just at the tree line 我们就在林木线处，这也许是我们发现事物的最好契机了
and, all around us, the hillsides are open. 周围，都是辽阔的山峦
So we can see for a long, long way. 我们可以看得很远
Oh, hang on! 等等！
That's a huge herd of animals. 那有一大群动物
I mean, I reckon there's got to be 40 or 50 there. 我估计有40或50只
They are called blue sheep because they have a kind of slatey blue-grey coat. 它们是岩羊，因有岩石般蓝灰的皮毛而得名

I can see one adult male 我能看到一只有巨大犄角的成年公羊
with huge horns.
They're totally at home out here, in this steep-sided, barren land. 它们就在陡峭的荒地上安家
They're incredibly graceful and nimble over the rocks. 在岩石上显得不可思议地优雅灵巧
But if the tiger really is living in this sort of area, or anywhere near here, 但老虎倘若真在这儿或附近的什么地方生存
that's what it's going to be feeding on. Blue sheep. 岩羊就是它们的猎物之一
