我们仍然爱着他
还记得他为我们付出的一切
所以我们用这个词 tomakula
意思是他还是那样虚弱多病
我感觉他仍然活着
去告诉他们 把猪带到那边去
塔德姆的儿子 帕克·皮雷 Tadem's son, Pak Pillay,
负责举办这场耗时一周的葬礼 is responsible for the funeral, to be held over an entire week.

在这里水牛极为珍贵 Buffalo are highly prized here, both in life...
无论生前死后 ...and in death.
它们在葬礼上至关重要 They play a vital role in the funeral rituals.
这个仪式是为了
护送逝去的至亲上路
前往彼岸
我们祖祖辈辈都是如此
当地人相信以十头水牛为祭 The sacrifice of ten buffalo is believed to ensure
塔德姆的灵魂便可摆脱尘世的束缚 the release of Tadem's soul from this world.
珍贵的牛肉则会供数千来宾享用 And the precious meat will feed the thousands of guests.

塔德姆将被葬入祖坟 Tadem will be placed in a chamber of the family tomb.
祭奠者们摇动棺材 让他的灵魂 The mourners shake the coffin to free his soul
挣脱凡尘的最后一丝牵绊 from its last earthly ties.
参与这个仪式的人都非常开心 因为这是
大家最后一次向我的父亲表达爱意
所以尽管内心充满悲切
我们表现得都很开心
我感觉我的日子也不多了
但愿我会与他和我们的先人在天堂重聚
能安排这样宏大的告别仪式向我父亲
致敬并告慰他在天之灵 我感到特别欣慰
再见了 爸爸
永别了 爸爸
再见了 我的爱人

妈妈 好痛
我的脖子好凉
你得打扮得漂漂亮亮的
邢梅来自长角苗族 Xing Mae is from the Long Horn Miao,
因他们用木角固定头发而得名 named after the wooden horns used to tie up their hair.
几百年来 苗族女性用已逝女性长辈的头发 For centuries, Miao women have created elaborate headdresses
编织出了非常繁复的头饰 that include the hair of their dead female ancestors.
这些头发保存的真好
妈妈 我痛得想打人

而你就是我的女主角
我是英雄 你是美人
你们都只是舞台布景
邢梅喜欢的男孩也在这里 The boy that Xing Mae likes is also here.
他叫杨东 He's called Yangdong.
如果邢梅不能鼓起勇气去跟杨东说话 If Xing Mae can't pluck up the courage to speak to Yangdong,
她也许要嫁给她家人替她选的男人 she might have to marry the man chosen by her family.
邢梅的母亲和姥姥在 Xing Mae's mother and grandma are making traditional costumes
为最后的仪式做传统服饰 for the final ceremony.
现在的孩子都不会唱歌
一首歌都不会唱
他们保持不了音准
昨晚那些男孩子很糟糕
对 他们唱了 但根本唱不好
唱得特别糟糕
不像我们以前
现在的孩子总是玩手机
我昨晚好害羞

没有 我有空
沈东的歌唱似乎打动了桂英 And Shengdong's singing seems to have impressed Guiying.
众所周知 婚礼是很多人生命中的 Celebrated the world over, weddings are a key ritual
一个重要仪式 in many of our lives.
婚礼聚集我们的家人 They often bring our families together.
有时还会把我们和祖先联系在一起 And sometimes they connect us directly to our ancestors.
在一个新西兰毛利人的婚礼上 At a Maori wedding in New Zealand,
家族会表演哈卡舞 the family perform the Haka.
哈卡舞曾经是一种战舞 The Haka was once a war dance,
现在则是对新娘新郎尊敬的表现 but here it's a display of respect to the bride and groom.
仪式提醒我们来自何方 Rituals remind us of where we come from.
而婚姻带我们回到根脉 And marriage rights can bring us back to our roots.
在尼日尔的撒哈拉沙漠 The Sahara, in Niger.
两个图阿雷格家族和他们的婚礼宾客 Two Tuareg families and their wedding guests
正去往沙漠深处 are heading deep into the desert,
他们的祖先在那里为世代后辈 where their ancestors have performed their most traditional
举行了最重要的传统仪式 rituals for generations.
新郎阿布达拉工作生活在巴黎 The groom, Abdullah, lives and works in Paris.
对我来说 仪式是对我的祖先
和图阿雷格文化致敬
如此重大的事情
会令人手足无措
阿布达拉的新娘阿扎拉是一个会计 Abdullah's bride, Azahra, is an accountant.
她住在尼日尔首都 也正回到自己根脉之地 She lives in Niger's capital, but is also returning to her roots.
我有两种平行生活
在丛林和在城市的生活
当我回到丛林时
我和当地人一样
遵从同样的规则
数千年来 图阿雷格族的游牧人 The nomadic Tuareg traded right across the Sahara
在撒哈拉沙漠中进行贸易 for thousands of years.
但这种古老的生活方式已经改变 But this ancient way of life has changed,
因为越来越多的人选择了城市生活方式 as an increasing number of people switch to an urban lifestyle.
所以婚礼是聚集部落的一个重要机会 So weddings are an important occasion for clans to come together.
今天 两个最高贵的家族要联姻了 Today, two of the most noble families will be joined in marriage.
这种仪式也许很古老 The ceremony might be ancient,
但它是以爱为基石的现代结合 but it's a modern union founded on love.
他最吸引我的是什么
他很脚踏实地
很冷静
最重要的 是他信任我
我最爱他这点
按照习俗 According to tradition,
新娘和新郎在大喜之日必须分开 the bride and groom must be kept apart for the wedding day.
在图阿雷格族的文化中 The Tuareg here have a culture
要求女性保持一定的独立 that includes considerable independence for women.
图阿雷格族是母系社会
拥有统治权的是女性
我们是世界上唯一一个信仰穆斯林
却要求男性而不是女性戴面纱的民族
这彰显了女性的勇敢
因她们的美貌
我们希望她们露出脸庞
阿扎拉的手和脚都用散沫花[海娜]清洁过 Azahra's feet and hands are cleansed with henna.
整个典礼中 她只能待在家族帐篷里 Throughout the celebrations, she is confined to her family tent.
我认为这并非不公平
但事实上我就像一个囚犯
我只能尊重这个传统
虽然不过是短短一会儿
但我是一个现代女性
黄昏时刻 曾是佣人的女人们 At dusk, it's the job of women who were traditionally servants
建造了一顶特殊的帐篷 to build a special tent.
这是图阿雷格族女性的神圣之地 A sacred space for Tuareg women,
也是结婚仪式中的重头戏 and the centrepiece of the wedding ritual.
她的魂不知道哪儿去了
全想着洞房花烛了
快给她一点催情药吧
你马上就会见到他 别担心
快点
往这边走 这边
终于 到了典礼的最高潮 Finally, at the climax of the celebrations,
阿扎拉被带到婚礼帐篷中 Azahra is led to the marriage tent,
裹得严严实实的 直到最后 covered until the very last minute,
而阿布达拉正等待着她的到来 where Abdullah is waiting for her.
被带到男人身边 我很羞涩
尽管他是我的男朋友
见到她的那一瞬
我的内心在颤抖
她那么美 我不得不多看几眼
在最传统的婚礼过后 After their most traditional of weddings,
阿布达拉和阿扎拉走出了沙漠 Abdullah and Azahra head out of the desert
开始了他们在法国的新生活 to start a new life together in France.
你是个好司机
换作我开 你会晕车的
也许吧
韶华逝去 我们所爱之人会相继离世 As we grow older, our loved ones begin to die.
在世界的每个角落 亡者都会受到人们尊敬 In every part of the world, we honour our dead.
对多数人而言 葬礼让我们与逝者告别 For many of us, funeral rituals help us say goodbye.
但在某些文化中 But in some cultures,
死亡不过是人生的一个阶段 death is seen as just one of many stages.
在墨西哥一个古老的阿兹特克节日上 In Mexico, at an ancient Aztec festival,
家人在亲人的墓前摆上食物和鲜花 families bring food and flowers to the graves of their relatives,
滋养他们的魂灵 to nourish their spirits
以助他们在亡灵节重返人世 as they return to Earth on the Day of the Dead.
在许多祭奠仪式中 In many death rituals,
亡者魂灵的归途依赖生者的照管 the journey of the soul relies on the living.
在日本 某些仪式必须 In Japan, rituals must be
为死者进行三十三年之久 performed on behalf of the dead for 33 years.
每日的祈祷会将亡者送入来世 Daily prayers, which will release them into the afterlife.
但如果死后没人为你祈祷会如何呢 But what if you die and have no-one to pray for you?
在未来二十年内 Within the next 20 years,
东京预计将有一半的人口 it's predicted half the population of Tokyo
会独自生活 will live by themselves.
在日本多数拥挤的城市中 In Japan's vast, overcrowded cities,
越来越多的人将孤身一人死去 more and more people are dying alone.
信治大桥今年六十二岁 一个人住 Shinji Ohashi is 62 years old and lives alone
他既没有伴侣 也没有孩子 with no partner or children.
我很开心
不觉得孤独
我的生活自由而充实
在他死后 信治需要有人为他祈祷 When he dies, Shinji will need someone to pray for him.
他已经找到了完美的答案 He's found the perfect answer.
地处一个百货商场中 Engulfed by a shopping mall,
万象寺是个有五百年历史的佛门圣地 Bansho-ji is the site of a 500-year-old Buddhist shrine...
为孤身死去的人带来了现代化的解答 ..With a very modern solution for those who die alone.
传统墓地给人们的印象
总是孤凄的
到了夜晚便很阴森
但这里不仅明亮 还很崭新
信治的骨灰将会存放在这个新型高科技墓地 Shinji's ashes will occupy a compartment
其中一个小格里 in this new, hi-tech cemetery.
这座庙宇的住持大德源雄 Twice a day, the temple's chief priest, Daito Genyu,
会每日两次为三千灵魂祷告 leads the prayers for the 3,000 souls in his care.
只有那些知道自己已逝去
并收到祈祷的灵魂才能去到天堂
没有意识到死亡的灵魂还会留在这个世界
在日本 我们称其为"游荡的灵魂"
最高档的隔间要花费近两万英镑 The most desirable compartments cost up to ￡20,000.
信治还是选择了经济型隔间 But Shinji has gone for the budget option.
我的格子在最上面
最上面和最下面便宜得多
但我感觉从高处俯瞰游客
要比在低处看他们的脚有趣得多
我认为宗教仪式一直在发展
我们不应忘记寺庙的角色
即满足人们的需求
要跟随时代的变化而变化
在我死后
有归属之地
我觉得非常幸福
这些安静的高科技宗教仪式绝不会出现在 These quiet, hi-tech rituals couldn't be further removed from
印度尼西亚充满生气的葬礼上 the vibrant funerals in Indonesia.
在托拉查人眼中 生命的轮回并非终结于此 For the Torajans, the circle of life does not end here.
