不可避免地 从细胞到星辰 万物终有一死 It's inevitable, from cells to stars, everything dies in the end.
这是自然法则 That's just the way things work
但实际上 地球本身也可以是致命的 But here's the thing, our strange rock itself can also be lethal.
当你在太空俯瞰地球时 你会惊叹 You know up in space you're looking down at earth and you go "wow,
远处那颗蓝色星球是多么漂亮 what a beautiful spot that is down there, that blue orb out there in the distance."
但是我告诉你 这是颗愤怒的行星 But I'll tell you, it's an angry planet
我们倾向于把地球当作生命的支点 We tend to think of earth as our life support, but
但地球并未施以我们援手 it's not there to support us at all.

杰瑞·林恩格 漫游太空143天
自己正命悬一线 and that your life is on the line.
在另一个世界度过五个月之后 I came to realize this more than most
对此我比大多数人更深有体会 when I spent 5 months living on another world,
俄罗斯和平号空间站 the Russian Space Station Mir
一个每天都需要挣扎求生的地方 where survival was a daily struggle.
想带你们参观下和平号 Just wanna give you a little tour of Mir.
和平号空间站 EO-22任务 1997年2月
我是杰瑞·林格恩 I'm Jerry Linenger of course.
事实证明 执行和平号EO-22任务那段时间 Mir Mission EO-22
是我人生中最漫长的五个月 would turn out to be the longest 5 months of my life.
回到地球后 有时我闭上双眼 Back on earth sometimes I can close my eyes
感觉自己又回到了那里 and I can be back up there again.
准备开启航天飞机舱门 Go for shuttle hatch opening,
德尔塔P下二号位点 for Delta P under point two.
我们打开已经服役13年的和平号空间站舱门 We opened the hatch of the old 13 year old Mir Space Station
有点像是进了奶奶的地下室 and it's kind of like going down into grandma's cellar.
里面堆满了装备和垃圾 Stuffed with leftover equipment, garbage.
我感到十分震惊 I was really shocked.
我们把大多数时间都花在了让空间站保持运转上 It took up the majority of our time just trying to keep that thing going.
你在上面要竭尽所能 利用有限的资源活下去 When you're up there trying to use your limited resources to stay alive,
这最终让我感觉 it finally sort of hit me as wow,
求生本能就像是我们体内一种强大的力量 the survival instinct you know is a powerful enate force within each of us.
在和平号上度过一个月后 I had about a month on ,Mir and when I hear that
主报警器刺耳地响了起来 master alarm going off, blaring,
控制台像一棵点亮的圣诞树 warning panel just lit up like a Christmas tree,
火警信号灯 低电压报警灯 fire warning lights, low voltage lights,
烟雾报警器 全都在闪 everything flashing, smoke lights.
我俯视舱体尽头 Looked down the length of the module
看到了从固体燃料氧气罐里窜出的 and coming out of a solid fuel oxygen canister
巨大火焰 is a big flame
强度像火焰喷枪 长度60到90厘米 with blow torch like intensity, 2 or 3 feet in length,
火花从底端迸射出来 sparks flying off the end of it,
飞溅的到处都是 sparks flying everywhere.
烟雾在空间站蔓延 扩散速度之快 我前所未见 I have never seen smoke spread like it spread on that space station
不到半分钟 你懂的 so within about 30 seconds, you know,
就伸手不见五指了 can't see the 5 fingers in front of your face,
我当时决定趁着还有机会赶紧找到氧气 decided better get some oxygen while I can,
靠着余光的模糊视野 终于找到了氧气面具 getting a little peripheral vision, blurring, finally locate the mask.
我深吸了一口 却什么也没有 Breathe in and I get nothing.
人们谈到死亡隧道 People talk about that tunnel of death,
接下来的60秒 the next 60 seconds or so of my life, you know,
我眼前开始走马灯 it's frame by frame.
第一念头是我再也见不到我的家人了 First thought was of my family, never seeing them again.
我的宝贝儿子 My baby son
我当时就喊了出来 我说 "再见了约翰" and I just yelled it out, I said "Goodbye John",
"很抱歉让你失望了" you know, "I'm really sorry I'm letting you down."
那时的我 有些坦然面对死亡了 At that point, I was kind of OK losing my life.
身处烟雾和火焰之中 In the middle of all this flame and smoke
突然 我的内心世界发生了变化 suddenly, you know, something changed inside me.
我说 "杰里 你得撑过去" I said "Jerry, you gotta get through this.
然后我就大喊道 "我要逃出生天" And then I just scream out, I'm gonna get that fire out,
我得再见到我的儿子 gonna see my boy again.
"杰里 你必须活下去" Jerry you have to survive.
我立马行动了起来 I broke into action.
一个灭火器 两个灭火器 三个灭火器 1 fire extinguisher, a second fire extinguisher, a third fire extinguisher.
不知怎么的我们就控制住了火势 Somehow we managed to get the fire under control.
求生是一种本能 You know it's instinct, survive.
无论我们多么努力求生 However much we struggle to survive,
威胁你生命的 却不止是衰老 意外或外伤 it's not only old age, accident or injury that can get you.
地球也可以是致命的 Earth can be deadly.
难以想象 这个星球曾上演过五次物种大灭绝 It's hard to fathom but there have been 5 mass extinctions on the planet
在当时造成了99.9%的物种灭绝 and 99.9 percent of all species that have ever lived are gone.

2520万年前 地球突然变成了致命毒物 252 million years ago earth suddenly turned toxic to life.
恐龙登上历史舞台之前 Way before the dinosaurs,

俗称二叠纪大灭绝 It's known as The Great Dying.
大灭绝是一种保守说法 The Great Dying is an understatement;
它始于超级火山的集体爆发 it all kicked off when a whole host of super volcanoes erupted.
Supervised by HESTER & MINKAGO 监制：花生 & 明卡苟
土地干涸 The land dried out.
海洋酸化 And the oceans acidified.
植物几乎绝迹 Nearly all plant life perished
森林全都毁于一旦 and every forest on the planet died.
地球成为了历史上最大规模的谋杀现场 Earth turned into the biggest mass murder scene in history.
没有这次大灭绝的幸存者 就没有今天地球上的各种生物 Everything that lives today owes its life to the survivors of The Great Dying.
我们的祖先摸爬滚打 经受住了严酷考验 We're all descended from the ones that scraped through.
今天 我们要搜索一片史前河漫滩 Today, we're searching an area of prehistoric flood plain
寻找一种生物曾经存在的证据 for evidence of a creature
这种生物是哺乳动物进化历程中的基石 that was an evolutionary stepping stone towards mammals.
有发现 Found something.
我们在这片区域找到了很多古老隧道 All over this area we've discovered ancient tunnels
它们都被泥沙填满 随后又与石头融为一体 that have been naturally infilled and then cast into the rock.
没用多久我们就找到了化石碎片 It wasn't long before we started finding bits of fossil bone
最终我们找到了完整的骨架 and eventually we found complete skeletons
这些遗骸属于一种形如哺乳动物的爬行动物 and those skeletons all turned out to be a mammal-like reptile called
三叉棕榈龙 Thrinaxodon.
可以通过猫鼬来描绘三叉棕榈龙的形象 A good way to picture Thrinaxodon is to think about the meerkat
只不过没有毛 或许还会产卵 but without fur and possibly laying eggs like reptiles
但还是与猫鼬最为相似 but most importantly and similarly to the meerkat,
它们生活在地下 用大爪子挖洞 it lived underground digging burrows with its large claws.
地下生活能帮助它们 They were surviving by living underground
从昼夜冰火两重天中存活下来 to withstand the heat of the day and the cold of the night.
我们找到的最佳化石样本是 One of the really very nice specimens that we've found here
两只三叉棕榈龙宝宝头碰头蜷缩在一起 are 2 infant Thrinaxodon curled up together head to head.
它们在分享从地面获得的热量 They were sharing their body heat which they brought down from the surface underground
这表明 它们已经开始调节自己的体温了 which suggests that they were beginning to regulate their temperature on their way
向恒温动物 也就是真正的哺乳动物过渡 to becoming warm-blooded and of course true mammals.
所以你可以看到 要是没有三叉棕榈龙这样的生物 So you can see if it had not been for creatures like Thrinaxodon,
从大灭绝中生存下来 surviving this Great Dying,
地球上可能就不会进化出人类了 we humans might never have evolved.
我们的祖先既不是体型最大的 也不是最凶残的 Our ancestors weren't the biggest or the baddest,
他们只是恰巧生活在泥土之下 they just happened to sleep in the dirt.
幸运的是 这是最为安全的居家之所 Luckily that was the safest place to be.
你永远不知道谁的运气更好一些 You never know who's gonna beat the odds.

生命无所不在 you can't get away from life on earth,
即使你掘地三里 you dig a mile down into the rock
也能发现微小的生命 and there's still little things living,
你去大洋深处寻找最炙热的喷流 you go to the hottest jet in the centre of the ocean
各种滚烫的物质从地底翻涌而出 where the boiling stuff is pouring out into the world
依然能够发现无数生命 and it's a farm of life down there.
地球生命的多样性 You know the diversity of living things on earth
保证了生命的延续 ensures that life will go on,
无论地球多么怒不可遏 no matter what the earth throws at it,
无论遭受的打击多么致命 no matter which punch it takes,
无论哪些物种最终湮灭 no matter which species doesn't make it,
总有另一物种找到了生存之道 there's another one that finds a pathway to survival.
所以 生物多样性是一件好事 So, it's a good thing that life comes in a variety pack
但是多样性来自于差异性 but variety comes from diversity
而差异性来自于科学家所说的 and diversity comes from what scientists call
"做爱做的事" "doing it."

如果你可以无性繁殖 便不需要去约会 If you're a clone, you don't have to date.
如果你想要孩子 只要自我复制即可 很简单 You want kids, just copy yourself, easy.
但是无性繁殖存在一个问题 But clones have a problem;
如果所有个体都一模一样 那么一种疾病 if every individual is exactly the same, one disease,
一次自然灾难即可将其灭绝 one catastrophe could wipe them all out,

这里是MUSA 即水下艺术博物馆 This is MUSA, it's an Underwater Museum of Art.
这些雕塑正在变成珊瑚虫们的家 The sculptures are becoming home to coral species.
这些生物让人啧啧称奇 These animals are amazing,
它们可以克隆出无数个相同的自己 they can make identical clones of themselves
最终遍布整块礁石 to spread over a reef
但它们也会在复杂多变的环境下 but they also protect themselves
通过一种奇怪的交配方式 against changing conditions
保护自己不受伤害 by having sex, in a strange way.
一年一度 在某个月圆时分 Once a year, around the time of a full moon,
珊瑚虫会释放不计其数的卵子和精子 the corals release eggs and sperm in massive numbers.
当卵子随波逐流时 As the eggs begin to float,
你会有一种置身于银河之中的错觉 it feels like you're floating on the Milky Way.
这些卵子与来自其他珊瑚虫的精子结合在一起 The eggs join together with sperm cells from other corals.
珊瑚虫通过这种群体交配的方式 By all mating like this at the same time,
增加了它们基因交流的机会 it increases the chances of mixing up their genes
在下一代的珊瑚虫中产生更多的差异性 to create more diversity in the next generation of corals.
这就是为什么大多数筑礁珊瑚 That's how most of these reef building corals
得以在变化无常的海洋中生存下来 have survived in the ever changing ocean
并繁衍生息了2.5亿年之久 for 250 million years.
你随机选出两个个体 将他们的DNA混合在一起 You take 2 individuals and you mix all the DNA
你就创造出了一个与众不同的生物 and you create a different creature,
一种与亲代不同的动物 a different animal than the original pair.
所有的孩子 或者说后代 You know every child or offspring
杰瑞·林恩格 漫游太空143天
都与他们的父母不尽相同 is different than the parent

蜉蝣幼虫让我联想到科幻电影里的外星生物 Mayfly nymphs remind me of aliens from a sci-fi film.
它们在淤泥中生活 成长 长达一年 They live and grow in the mud for a year,
等待浮出水面的理想条件 waiting for the right conditions to emerge.
一旦蜉蝣幼虫长大成年 Once the mayfly nymphs are mature,
它们必须游到水面之上 they have to swim to the surface of the water.
如果它们游得不够快 就会葬身鱼肚 If they don't do this fast enough, they will be eaten by a fish.
接下来上演的 What happens next
就是地球上最为奇怪的生命循环之一 is one of the strangest life cycles on earth.
这就像是鱼在一天之内变成了鸟 It's like a fish turning into a bird in just 1 day.
成年之后的蜉蝣不能进食 它们既没有口器 The adults can't eat, they have no mouth parts,
也没有消化系统 they have no digestive system.
对于成年蜉蝣而言 生命的全部意义都关于性 For an adult mayfly it's all about the sex.
而且它们只有24小时来找到配偶 之后就会死去 And they have just 24 hours to find a mate and then they die.
奇怪的是 它们的交配日很多时候 Weirdly, their mating often coincides
恰巧也是美国独立日 with the 4th of July celebrations.
[1776年7月4日 美国人民在华盛顿 杰佛逊等民主主义伟大先驱的领导下 宣布了民族的独立]
成群的雄虫在上下飞舞 The males in a swarm fly up and down,
当雌虫从这些雄虫身边飞过时 then the females fly by these males
雄虫之中能以最快速度抓住雌虫的 and whichever male is fast enough to catch her
就能获得交配权 is the one who gets to mate.
一旦蜉蝣交配成功 雄虫就会死去 Once the mayflies have mated, the males are done.
雌虫就会去寻找水源 产下虫卵 The females find water and lay their eggs
随后 它们也会死去 and then they too pass on.
它们只能存活24小时 They only last 24 hours.
生命为了繁衍后代不惜一切代价 It's amazing the lengths that life will go to, to reproduce.
一旦性发展下去 仅仅生存下去还不够 Once sex came along, it was no longer enough to just survive,
你必须要吸引配偶 you had to attract a mate
也就是这时 地球上的生命学会了打扮自己 and that's when life on earth learned to dress to impress.
有性生殖让地球变得美丽 Sexual reproduction has made the earth beautiful.
对于地球上的复杂生物而言 It's one of the greatest evolutionary tools
这是最伟大的进化工具之一 for complex life on earth.
如果没有有性生殖的存在 And without sexual reproduction,
生命也就不会拥有它所必需的多样性 life would not have the diversity that it needs,
这也是生存的必备条件 that it absolutely needs to survive
因为地球环境极其艰苦且苛刻 on this very tough demanding earth.
我们或许喜欢性 或许需要性 We might like it, we might need it
但做任何事都是有代价的 but doing the deed comes with a price.
神秘星球
关于生命 唯一可以确定的事 就是死亡 The only thing for sure in life, you're gonna die.
即使你不被陨石砸中 或被熊吃掉 你也终将逝去 Even if you don't get hit by an asteroid or eaten by a bear,
让类似于人类这样复杂的"机器"运行下去 keeping something as complicated as a human going,
需要很多的"维护费" takes a lot of upkeep.
作为一个医生 我着迷于人类身体的构造 As a physician, I'm fascinated with the whole human body
及其背后的奥秘 and how it works.
人体很不可思议 它由大概37万亿个细胞组成 Human body's incredible, it's like 37 trillion cells.
杰瑞·林恩格 漫游太空143天
这甚至多于银河之中的繁星 It's more than the stars in the galaxy.
但今天坐在这里的"我" 并不是彼时空间站里的"我" But sitting here today I'm not the me that I was up in space;
我身上的细胞经历了新陈代谢 my cells have cycled,
每天都有成百上千的细胞脱离我的身体 hundreds of thousands of cells a day are dropping off of me.
如果你看看现在的我 And so when you look at me,
现在这只手 已不是在太空时的那只 this is not the hand I had back in space.
此时此刻 正有几亿个细胞 Right now there's hundreds of millions of cells
在你的身体中死去 dying within your body.
而你的身体必须要将这些细胞替换掉 And your body has to replace those
而这 就是我们能够成为生命体 并活下来的方式 and it's the way we are able to stay alive as a living being.
虽然大多数的死亡过程都在我们身体内部 You know most of this destruction is inside our body
但通过皮肤上 我们是能亲眼看到的 but out on our skin we actually can see it,
死亡的过程更加直观 it's much more visible.
地球上 这些死皮看起来人畜无害 It's kind of a harmless thing down here on earth
但在太空中 but up in space, you know,
这就是另外一回事了 it's a different matter.

如果你脱掉袜子 很多死皮 If you pull your sock off, a lot of skin, dead skin,
迈克·马西米诺 漫游太空29天
就会四散飘零 will go flying around.
那不仅仅变成你袜子里的一些东西 It doesn't just become something in your sock,
而是变成了一团由死皮组成的云雾 but it becomes a floating cloud of unused dead skin
那真是美好的一天 当你脱掉你的袜子 and that's a really good day to have taken off your sock
把它放在进气口旁 right next to an air intake
稍稍将你的头转开 so that you can just sort of turn your head
然后拿着真空吸尘器 and then go get the vacuum cleaner
吸走你脚底那些脏东西 and vacuum up the sole of your own foot.
但时光荏苒 But the clock is always ticking.
细胞成功进行自我修复的次数有限 Cells can only repair so many times before it has a failure.
细胞每次复制 都有些小差错悄然发生 Each time a cell replicates, small errors creep in
再加之一些其他的损耗 and along with other wear and tear,
随着时间推移 这种损伤会慢慢堆积 over time, this damage builds up.
当复制错误达到一定数量 And when you have enough of that failure,
各种错误累积在一起 就是生命的终结时刻 when it accumulates, it's the end of life.
这就是死亡的奥秘 That's why we die.
创造新生可比匡救弥缝简单 Making a new creature can be easier than mending an old one.
这也是延续我们基因的最好方法 但就算知道这个 That's the best way to keep your genes going, knowing that,
也丝毫不能推迟死亡的到来 doesn't make it any easier when the end comes.

每一颗沙砾对创造至美来说都很重要
曼荼罗沙代表了这个理念
于我们自身也同样适用
我们每个人都是由祖先的点滴汇聚而成
我们铸于永恒
却又人生苦短
你只是地球生命历史长河里的一粒微尘 You're just a speck in this long time line of life on earth.
我们并未真正思考过 是怎样的沧海桑田 才换来了我们的存在 We don't really think of the string of events that had to take place for us to exist today.
从大灭绝的幸存者 到死亡循环 From the survivors of those mass extinctions, to the cycles of death
共同造就了地球如今的生机 that keep the planet so alive today,
百万迁徙的鲑鱼 十亿只在空中交配的蜉蝣 a million migrating salmon, a billion mating mayflies in the sky,
使基因混合在一起 进行排列组合 mixing the genes and all those combination and permutations.
所有不同事物必然会交织在一起 Yet all those different things had to weave together,
任何事情都有可能发生 all those chance meetings had to take place.
祖父母移民而来 那也是过去所避免不了的 Grandparents coming over from the Old Country, that all had to happen.
对我父亲来说 他是个二战幸免儿 In my father's life, he had to survive World War II,
但他最好的朋友杰瑞却死于二战 you know his best friend Jerry did not survive,
这也是我叫杰瑞的原因 取自父亲挚友之名 that's why I'm Jerry, you know, named after my dad's best friend.
如果你去翻阅历史书籍 你会发现我父亲毫无功勋 If you look in a history book, there's nothing special about my dad,
他不会在那些书里 但他影响了我的一生 he's not gonna be in there but he influenced my life
他总是告诉我 and he was somebody who always told me
有志者事竟成 you can be anything you set your mind to
"杰瑞 如果你努力学习工作 and "if you work hard and you study hard,
举个例子 你在将来可以成为宇航员" for example,Jerry, you'll be an astronaut someday"
当你想起正是因为父亲的那些话 and when you think of all those things that had to happen to create the human being
使我成为了杰瑞·林恩格 called Jerry Linenger at that moment,
一位在地球上方以每小时28000千米的速度遨游的宇航员 who then becomes an astronaut, floating above the planet going 17,500 miles an hour,
完成毕生梦想 a life dream.
如此难以置信 It's incredible.
我遇见了我的妻子 当时是因为在一起工作认识的 You know I had to meet my wife, we overlapped at a job by one day, you know, would John, Jeff,
没有那次曼妙夏夜里的邂逅 没有我们的结合 Henry and Grace exist without that chance meeting, without us getting together
又怎么会有约翰 杰夫 亨利和格蕾丝的出生 at the right time, at the right place on a beautiful, you know summer night?
我感觉我已经完成我的工作了 I kind of feel that I've done my job now;
我的家庭也日益完整 他们是我的骄傲 my family has grown at this point and I'm proud of them
如果这时要我投胎转世 and if I move onto, you know, another life,
我想我可以接受的 I'm kind of OK with that at this point.
没有什么是永恒的
一切都是无常的
正是因为人世无常才让我们独一无二
生命正因转瞬即逝而倍显珍贵
我因子嗣而长存于世 And I feel I'm gonna keep going on and on through my kids.
所以我希望在我死后 这儿有点煽情 So I hope down the line, getting emotional here, down the line, you know,
我的孩子们也能从我曾经的作为和影响中 my sons and my daughter draw upon something that their dad did for them, you know,
有所寄托 how I influenced them.
我们排除万难 克服艰难险阻 We're all against all odds, we are all against all odds, you know,
只是为了在地球上能有容身之地 our very existence on earth against all odds
所以我们要充分利用 and so, you know, take advantage of it.
开发其最大的潜能 Make the most of it.
下集 我们是否需要逃离这颗神秘星球 Next time, do we need to escape this one strange rock
是的话又会发生些什么 and what would happen if we did
