在高高的巴基斯坦山脉之中 High in the mountains of Pakistan
生活着一种极难拍摄到的神秘猫科动物. lives a cat so elusive that it's rarely been filmed.
直到2004年, Until 2004,
英国BBC行星地球系列片向世界展示了 when the BBC Planet Earth series showed the world the first images
野生雪豹捕猎的第一手影像资料. of a wild snow leopard hunting.
对于拍摄的人来说, For the men who filmed this shot,
这是和雪豹建立感情的一个标志。 it marked the beginning of a love affair with the snow leopard.
我直勾勾的看着她的眼睛，她也看着我 I just looked straight into her eyes and she just caught mine,
我想，那就是所谓的“一见钟情”吧。 and I think that was, you know, love at first sight.
由于被这个新发现引燃了激情 Driven by this new-found passion,
这两人返回后，打算对这只神秘的野兽 the two men returned, determined to get to know this almost mythical beast.
这个旷野的图腾一探究竟。 This icon of the wilderness.
他们的发现比预期的要深入的多 What they discovered went far deeper than they had ever expected,
深入到了这种大型猫科动物生存领地的中心 to the very heart of the cat's battle for survival.
雪豹一窜而出，她跌倒后便晕过去了 The leopard jumped out, she fell down and fainted,
然后豹子便离开了 and the leopard took off.
他说：“如果这雪豹回来的话，我只能开枪了。” He's saying that, "If the leopard comes back, I'lljust have to shoot it."
这是首部抛开神话的拍摄 This is the first film to go beyond the myth
讲述雪豹的真实故事. and tell the snow leopard's real story.
倪萨·马利克不像绝大多数搜寻濒危动物的人那样， Unlike most people who go in search of endangered animals,
他既非生物学家也不是野生动物摄影师。 Nisar Malik is not a biologist or a wildlife cameraman.
倪萨是个记者 Nisar is a journalist,
和外国新闻记者一起共事已经20年 and he's gained an intimate knowledge of these mountains and their people
他对这里的山脉和风土人情非常了解 by working here for 20 years with foreign news crews.
那时我报道的大部分新闻 Most of the news stories I was covering at that time
和阿富汗以及巴基斯坦的部落有关. related to Afghanistan and the tribal areas of Pakistan.
战火纷飞中的孩子们、塔利班和北约之间的战线 The children of war, the frontline between the Taliban and the Northern Alliance,
以及当时发生的好多鸦片和海洛因的交易 and a lot of the opium and heroin trade that was taking place at that time.
倪萨现在正返回巴基斯坦北部 Nisar is now returning to Northern Pakistan
迎接他人生中最大的挑战之一 for one of the biggest challenges of his life,
整理他过去协助《行星地球》拍摄而建立的关于雪豹的一些繁杂的资料 to build on the tantalising snow leopard material he helped capture for Planet Earth.
这个挑战使他来到了吉德拉尔山, This quest has brought him to the mountains of Chitral,
这是喜玛拉雅山脉的一部分, 一直延伸到中国境内. part of the giant Himalayan range that stretches all the way to China.
没人知道到底有多少只雪豹生活在这里. No-one knows how many snow leopards remain here.
这种猫科动物是这么的稀有，加上地势严峻艰险 The cats are so rare and the terrain so challenging
好多人恐怕还未来得及统计种群数量，他们就灭绝了 that many fear they will become extinct before anyone finds a way to count them.
在冬季, 巨大的降雪量使吉德拉尔山和外界隔绝 In winter, Chitral is cut off from the rest of the world
大雪封山, 鲜有外人来访 by heavy snowfalls, and rarely visited by outsiders.
与倪萨同行的是专业摄影师马克史密斯 Accompanying Nisar is expert cameraman Mark Smith.
两人计划一起花上至少一年的时间, 来追逐他们的梦想, Together, they plan to spend at least a year in pursuit of their dream,
这就意味着圣诞节不能在家过了 which means spending Christmas away from home.
我想雪豹是唯一值得你出来寻找的东西 I guess snow leopards are about the only thing that would make you come out.
这个想法可能一直就存于你的脑海——还有一只雪豹 The thought that maybe just up there, there is still a snow leopard
你就是要拍摄它. and you might just film it.
确实如此。这就是最最吸引你的事物了 So, yeah. I guess it's the biggest draw you could possibly ever want.
圣诞早晨，倪萨准备了一顿打破传统的饭菜 Christmas morning, and Nisar prepares an unconventional meal.
我本以为不仅仅是坐着观看雪景 And rather than just sitting around looking at the snow and the rest of it,
还要吃一顿丰盛无比的早餐 I thought, have a big, thumping breakfast today.
这里面有睾丸吗？ Has that got testicles in it?
有心、肝、肾。 It's got a heart, liver and kidneys.
太好了。 Great.
稍微有点恶心, 这还不是最令人兴奋的. Slightly hungover, so it's not probably the most exciting thing.
-要豆角吗？ -不要了. -You want beans? -No.
关于这些僻静的山谷外界知之甚少 So little is known about these isolated valleys
所以, 观察雪豹的最佳机会只能靠尽可能的地毯式搜索获得 that the team's best chance of sighting a leopard is simply to cover as much ground as possible.
刚降下的雪覆盖了所有动物的脚印，使追踪变得有难度。 Fresh snowfall covers all animal prints, making tracking difficult.
但却把山谷变成了神话般的仙境. But it does transform the valley into a fairytale landscape.
只要一下雪,雪景如此的话， As soon as it starts snowing and as soon as it starts looking like this,
这个地方就完完全全的变成了魔幻仙境. it just becomes a completely magical place.
小队发现这是个野生动物的天堂 What the team does discover is a haven for wildlife.
捻角山羊是一种很罕见的山羊, 但这里却很多见. Markhor are extremely rare mountain goats, but they seem abundant here.
这是个令人激动的讯息, 因为捻角山羊是雪豹的主要食物. This is an encouraging sign, as markhor are prime leopard prey.
经过几个星期的搜寻, 仍旧没有雪豹的踪迹, After weeks of searching, there's no sign of the elusive cat,
雪越下越大, 动物们开始迁向低坡处 and as the snows get heavier, animals start to move down to the lower slopes.
动物们生存艰难，我们无法回避这些问题 The animals are struggling. We can't get around much.
我们该撤了，走吧. I think it's time we retreat. Get out of here.
他们要找到一个地方，能让雪豹不请自来 They need to find a place where a leopard will come to them.
但找出最佳的观测地和直接找雪豹一样困难 But guessing the best location for a stakeout is almost as hard as finding a leopard.
倪萨的新闻采集技巧将会派上用场 Nisar's news-gathering skills will be needed.
他在当地的人脉也许能提供线索 His local contacts may provide a lead.
据说如果你告诉雪豹自己才是丛林之王 Story is, if you tell the snow leopard that you are king of the jungle,
他就会退后一步, 给你让路 he takes a step back and lets you go through.
这类报道很多，司空见惯了，但都没用 As usual, plenty of stories, but nothing helpful.
好不容易，他们得到一条猛料 Finally, they get a tip-off.
有人看见一只雪豹正靠近附近的山谷 A snow leopard has been seen coming close to a nearby village.
希望我们到的时候豹子在那儿. I just hope it's there when we get there.
这车能开多快？ How fast can this car go?
已经花了几周的时间, 在巴基斯坦最偏远的边境寻找 Having spent weeks searching Pakistan's wildest frontiers,
小队真的能在这个人类"触手可及"的地方找到吗? could the team really succeed in a place so accessible to humans?
原来, 传言中也有真实. For once, there is truth in the rumours.
好家伙 Holy
真不敢相信, 它们真的在这. I can't believe they're here.
雪豹不仅在这里, The snow leopard is not only here,
而且独立于所有景色之外. but out in full view.
这种感觉真是太棒太棒了！ It's just the most fabulous, fabulous feeling ever.
在我们面前的便是世界上最神秘的生物之一 Right in front of us is one of the most elusive creatures in the world,
它正直勾勾的看着我们 looking straight at us right now.
噢，我们来啦 Oh, here we go.
嗨 Hello.
多少年来, 科学家和电影人 For years, scientists and filmmakers
试图近接近雪豹, 都失败了. have tried to get close to the snow leopard and failed.
但现在，这只雪豹闯进我们的世界 But now, here was a snow leopard venturing into our world.
不再是传说和神话，而是一只活生生的豹子 No longer the stuff of myth and legend, but a living, breathing animal.
日复一日，马克终于能够拍到这卓越的攀岩高手 Day after day, Mark is able to film this consummate mountaineer,
这种把悬崖峭壁当成家的动物. a creature utterly at home on these perilous slopes.
她身上的斑点提供了极好的伪装, Her markings provide superb camouflage,
而巨大的爪子和粗壮的尾巴 whilst her giant paws and immense tail
对她一些非常危险的动作起到平衡 lend balance to some very precarious manoeuvres.
一只野生雪豹, 在人类面前放松自如, 真是闻所未闻. A wild snow leopard, relaxed in the presence of humans, is completely unheard of.
为什么一个动物习惯于辗转几百英里后 Why should an animal accustomed to roaming hundreds of miles
不断返回到同一个地方? keep returning to the same spot?
马克和倪萨还没找到答案, 她便消失了. Before Mark and Nisar can find the answer, she disappears.
几天后, 倪萨从当地村庄得到了令人担忧的消息. A few days later, Nisar gets worrying news from the local village.
我们听说, 一个牧羊人 We've just got reports that a sheep herder out here
的18只绵羊和山羊被袭击了, 很明显是一只年老的豹子. had about 1 8 of his sheep and goat attacked, by apparently an old leopard.
我们正想和他们谈谈, 看能不能得到一些事件的真相 And we're just going up to have a chat with them and see if there's any truth to the matter.
也许一顿不费力的美餐可以把母豹 Perhaps the chance of an easy meal had lured the female leopard
诱进这个地区的中央. into the heart of the settlement.
像这样的伤口, He's saying, "When you get wounds like this,
肯定是豹子留下的 it's only the leopard that does that."
伤口的开口处非常锐利. And it's got very sharp incisions.
但我仍然非常惊讶, 雪豹离人类这么近. But I'm still surprised it's so close to the population.
我想那一定是羊在山里吃草时发生的. I thought it must've been while they were grazing up in the mountains.
吉德拉尔的牧人生活极其艰难, The herdsmen of Chitral survive on the margins,
尤其在冬季, especially in winter,
他们是无论如何都丢不起家畜的 and can't afford to lose their livestock for any reason.
但掠食者也迫切需要食物, But predators also have an urgent need to feed,
在它们看来, 野生动物和家畜没什么区别. and they make no distinction between wild and domestic prey.
随着动物们下迁来躲避大雪, 冲突升级了. As animals descend to escape the snows, these conflicts become heightened.
像多数偏远地区一样, 有种观念是孤立封闭才能很好地保护荒野 As with many remote places, the notion that isolation has led
to a perfectly preserved wilderness is simply untrue.
这样想是不对的.
人口在不断增长, The population is expanding,
荒野和耕地的界限变得模糊, and the boundaries between wild and cultivated areas have become blurred,
使得矛盾冲突的可能性变大. increasing the potential for conflict.
母豹再次现身, 让人清楚了 When the female reappears, it becomes clear
它并不是为了接近家畜而出现在这儿. that the proximity of livestock is not the real reason she's here.
我正集中精神拍摄雪豹, So I was concentrating on getting shots of the snow leopard,
倪萨就站在我旁边. and Nisar was stood by my side.
他说,"还有一只." And he went, "There's another one."
我说,"闭嘴." I was going, "Shut up."
他说, "还有一只雪豹." 我说, "什么?" And he said, "There's another snow leopard." I was going, "What?"
你可以看到这只雪豹正朝洞里面走去. And you'd see this snow leopard moving inside the cave.
突然, 就从洞里探出了这张脸. And then suddenly from that hole pops out this face.
可以看出,这是只幼仔, 神情很茫然 And you could see it was a juvenile, it just had this lost look about it.
我当时激情澎湃，高兴得上蹿下跳的 And I was in fits. I mean, I was like jumping up and down,
马克说,"天啊! 哦,天啊! 我来拍她, 我来拍她." and Mark was going, "Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Let me frame her, let me frame her."
马克和倪萨第二次发现它们的时候, The next time Mark and Nisar find them,
这只雄幼豹信心增强了很多，已经敢离开洞穴更远些了. the young male cub has grown in confidence and is venturing further from the cave.
他貌似不是太喜欢本地鹊. He seems to have taken a dislike to the local magpies.
他是在学习. 所有东西都是在模仿他母亲. He was learning. Everything he was doing, he was mimicking the mother.
母豹也不喜欢那些喜鹊, 可雄幼豹把喜鹊当成玩具了. She doesn't like magpies either. But he was looking at them as playful things.
母豹可能把它们当成了讨厌的东西. She probably considers them, you know, a nuisance.
有时候要玩耍, There is playtime,
有时候也要小雪豹适当集中精神 and then there are times when a young snow leopard needs to pay proper attention.
每当她出去捕食, Whenever she went hunting,
他们之间都会有相当的沟通和交流, there was this amazing communication between them,
而只要母豹走几步, 小雄豹就会跟着, where she'd take a few steps, he'd start following,
接着她就会转个圈, 看着他, and then she'd just turn around and look at him,
他呢，也会看看她, 然后溜溜的回去, 坐在洞里. and he'd just look at her and then just slink away and go back and sit in the cave.
显然, 小雪豹没有多少实践经验，需要培训。 Obviously, there was a training going on which was not hands-on.
母豹的意思是, "看着, 但不要靠近我." It was, "Look, but don't come near me."
一岁大的小雪豹食量和妈妈一样大. A one-year-old cub needs as much food as its mother.
两张嘴要吃饭, 母豹压力很大，需要经常捕猎 With two mouths to feed, the female is under pressure to kill regularly.
又一起更恶劣的袭击当地家畜事件发生, News of an even more brazen attack
这引起了倪萨的极大关注. on local livestock is of great concern to Nisar.
这是名女性, 她进来时把门推开, This is the lady. When she came in, she pushed the door open,
就在她进门时, 雪豹窜出来 and the minute she did that, the leopard jumped out,
扑向她后背, 她摔了一跤，昏倒了, 雪豹随之离开. pushed her back, she fell down and fainted, and the leopard took off.
这应该是从她后背咬下去的. 现在看还是血淋淋的. This one's actually been eaten from the back. It's pretty gory right now.
倪萨知道, 如果在捕食游戏中 Nisar knows a killing spree
与母亲距离太近, 是很危险的. so close to where the mother is hunting is dangerous.
即使不是母豹的错, 但她还是会被遣责. She'll be blamed, even if she's not the culprit.
我问过他, 如果再去放牧家畜 I've asked him that if he goes up again with his livestock
万一雪豹又来, 怎么办? and the leopard comes back, what is he gonna do?
他说,"我只能开枪了." And he's saying that, "I'lljust have to shoot her."
在这紧急关头，当马克得知有特定证据表明 With so much at stake, it's a relief when Mark gets concrete evidence
母豹可从野生捻角山羊中为小仔提供食物，真是心里一块石头落地 that the mother can provide for her cub from the wild population of markhor.
她的猎物体重和她差不多 Her prey weighs as much as she does,
拖上如此陡峭的山坡要花费巨大的精力. and dragging it up a slope as steep as this must take enormous effort.
母豹要赶紧把尸体拖到自己的洞穴 It's imperative she gets the carcass back to her den
这样幼仔进食时, 才不会受到食腐动物的骚扰. so that her cub can feed undisturbed by scavengers.
但一头捻角山羊不能维持两只雪豹很久. But a single markhor won't feed the pair for long.
几天之内, 她必须再次捕猎. Within a couple of days, she'll need to hunt again.
接下来的几个星期里, 马克和倪萨长时间陪伴着雪豹母子 Over the next few weeks, Mark and Nisar spend long periods with the mother and cub
并开始建立雪豹家庭生活的详细视频记录. and start to build a detailed visual record of snow leopard family life.
通过影像捕捉这对母子, By capturing the pair on film,
马克和倪萨已经开始把雪豹从神秘领域 Mark and Nisar have started to bring the snow leopard from the realm of myth
展示给世人 into the land of the living.
就在小队开始意识到雪豹在这种地形中的生存 Just as the crew are starting to realise how challenging it is
是多么艰难时, 拍摄因为一场灾难中断, for a leopard to survive in this terrain, filming is cut short by a catastrophe,
这场灾难表明山地里动物的生存状态岌岌可危 one that shows how precarious all life is in these mountains.
说实话，我觉得能和大家在一起看雪豹非常享受 I was actually starting to enjoy being here with the crew and seeing the leopard.
巴基斯坦的山区, 发生了一次前所未有的地震. Pakistan had one of its largest earthquakes ever in the mountain areas.
将近10万人在地震中丧生. Close to 1 00,000 people died in that.
痛苦和那种恐慌的氛围,让人绝望. The suffering and the kind of horror was beyond belief.
我们失去了整整一代同龄孩子. 我是说, 大约有4万名孩子遇难. We lost a whole generation of children. I mean, approximately 40,000 kids died.
因为地震是在上午发生的, 学校才刚开始上课. Because this earthquake struck in the morning and schools had just started.
我是说 I mean
你知道, 我也有孩子, 看到那些从碎石瓦砾里拉出的孩子 You know, I've got children and I've seen children being pulled out of rubble
这一切, 太恐怖了. and stuff like that, and it was horrific.
这件事应该有人作出反应, 那些像我一样的人, But it had to be responded to, and people like myself,
或者任何一个有专业知识的人, 理当对那场灾难有所行动. or anyone who had any expertise, had to respond to that calamity.
由于对此类偏远地区的认知远超其他人， With his unrivalled knowledge of these remote regions,
倪萨是领导山地救援专家组的理想人选 Nisar is ideally qualified to lead a team of mountain survival experts
把救灾物资直接送到最需要的人手里. and deliver aid directly to those most in need.
对山区的人们来说, 每个冬季都是非常艰难的, Every winter is hard for mountain people,
但地震剥夺了他们所需的基本生存物资 but the earthquake had deprived them of even the basic amenities they needed to survive.
拍摄雪豹曾经是我生命中一件重要的事. Filming of the snow leopard has been a high point of my life.
帮助穷困的人 Responding to people in need
他们是我的同胞，你怎能袖手旁观? They are my people. I mean, how could you ignore that?
六个月以后, Six months later,
灾难的人道主义救援工作终于轻松一些了. and the humanitarian disaster has finally begun to ease.
小队返回了, 希望在小雪豹断奶之前 The team returns, hoping to catch up with their snow leopards
可以再次拍摄到他们母子俩. before the cub is weaned.
但现在是夏季， 在这个季节 But it's now summer and the chances of finding them
找到雪豹的几率不大。 at this time of year are not good.
在冬季里，我们确认了有那么一种模式， In winter, we've established that it has a certain pattern,
你可以按照这种模式，来追踪山羊之类的动物 and you can sort of follow that, follow the herds of goat and stuff like that.
但夏天就不好说了 But I think summer's anyone's guess.
真的是一无所知 It's pretty unknown, it is. Completely.
野生动物拍摄要开始,可一点经验也没有. As wildlife shoots go, there's very little known about it.
山谷里热的能烤死人, With scorching temperatures in the valleys,
大多数野兽为了纳凉并吃到嫩一点的牧草，转回到山坡上 most animals head back up the slopes in search of cooler weather and greener pastures.
对马克和倪萨而言, 需要一个稍大点的考察队， What might be an easy journey for the wildlife requires a major expedition for Mark and Nisar,
在接下来的八个星期里为他们提供帮助，这样找起雪豹来会更容易 who will need a much larger team to support them over the eight-week trip ahead.
我们穿过草地, 然后径直走下去, We cross that pasture, go over, and then go straight down,
接着我们绕到山顶后边, and then we go behind these peaks.
看到那碗状的东西了吗? 那块深色的地？ And see that bowlish looking thing? That dark patch way back there?
那便是最后的营地. That's the final camp.
从那里步行两天, 你就到阿富汗境内了. And if you went a two-day walk from there, you're in Afghanistan.
你几乎可以得知雪豹在那的原因了. You can almost sense why the snow leopard would be there.
必须与世隔绝才行。 It's gotta be really isolated.
以前, 从没有摄制组到这儿探险过。 No film crew had ventured here before.
记录片工作者没有拍摄雪豹其中一个主要原因是 One of the main reasons why documentary makers haven't come out
巴基斯坦在国外印象不好。 and filmed the snow leopard is because Pakistan has an image abroad.
因着所有错误的理由而被误解了. It's been exploited for all the wrong reasons.
这应该是最容易的部分. This is supposed to be the easy part.
我们现在距阿富汗边境有三四十公里. We're 30, 40 kilometres from the Afghan border.
基地组织到过那儿, 塔利班过去也在那儿, You know, Al-Qaeda has been there, the Taliban had been there,
我曾经报道过这些事儿. I've done stories on those things.
但我们该向世界展示的,还有很多, But there is so much more we have to offer the world,
但没人愿意费这个劲儿 and no-one is taking the trouble to find out about that.
这儿有1.5亿人口, 我们不是恐怖分子. We're 1 50 million people out here, and we're not terrorists.
我们中有最热情好客的人 We have some of the most hospitable people out here.
和悠久的民族历史. We have an amazing national history.
这是一个很好的机会, 让雪豹作为大使. And this is a great opportunity to use the snow leopard as an ambassador.
来表明我们还有更多东西要展示. To show that there is so much more that we have to offer.
接下来的一个星期, 复杂地形的影响非常巨大. A week into their journey, and the terrain was taking its toll.
我们信心大受打击, 真的很累很艰难. It humbled us. It was gruelling. It was really difficult.
路都很陡峭，没有坦途. Everything is so steep. There's no paths.
有落石, 有泥石流, 真的很危险. There's rock falls, there's mud slides. I mean, it was really dangerous.
小队正向一个高海拔的草场进发, The team are heading for a high-altitude meadow,
听说土拨鼠很多, 是雪豹理想猎物. rumoured to be full of marmots, ideal leopard prey.
倪萨在远处搭了一个小营地, Nisar establishes a base camp some distance away,
这样不会干扰到野生动物. so as not to disturb the wildlife.
他们很高兴一个容易捕食的地方 They're optimistic that a place with such easy pickings
将像一块磁铁, 吸引着所有掠食者. will be a magnet for predators of all kinds.
那上边貌似是土拨鼠园地, That sounds like a good marmot field, up there.
真的非常好, 如果有一定量的食物 That sounds really good. You know, if it's got a concentration of food for something,
就可以吸引某种动物过来, 所以我们试一试吧. you're gonna get something coming in, so let's try that.
好的. Okay.
大伙儿都感受到了眼前这件事儿的重要性 The magnitude of the task ahead is felt by all.
我就像一个焦虑的母亲. I'm like a worried mother.
我的孩子要离开家了 My son's leaving home.
在这里, 野兽还不太习惯有人类出现. Up here, animals are not used to seeing humans.
马克得要弄一个隐秘物来隐藏自己 Mark will have to conceal himself by building a hide.
现在, 他能做的, 只有等待了. Now, all he can do is wait.
随着数周过去，很显然在这些牧草场上 As the weeks pass, it becomes clear that these meadows
并没有数以千计的土拨鼠居住. are not populated by thousands of marmots.
实际上, 只有一小部分生活在这, In fact, only a handful live here,
而这一小部分也不是经常住. and even those don't do much.
在我面前的岩石上有只土拨鼠. There's a marmot on a rock in front of me.
它在那儿约有半小时了. It's been there about half an hour.
那这段时间里, 它头动了两下 And in that time, it's moved its head twice
腿动了一下 and its leg once.
想要接近它们, 就必须得忍耐, You have to go through so much just to get close to them,
因为他们非常, 非常紧张 because they're very, very nervous,
且是动物界的保险推销员. and are the insurance salesmen of the animal world.
没事先检查过的东西, 它们从来都不去动. You know, they just don't do anything without checking everything out first.
那些有关雪豹乐园出现的传闻, 看来言过其实了, With the rumours of a leopard nirvana appearing greatly exaggerated,
倪萨竭尽全力去寻找线索. Nisar hunts for any clue he can find.
简直比大海捞针还难, 我们都不知道, 到底有没有针 It's not even a needle in a haystack because we don't even know if there is a needle.
而海又那么大. The haystack's big.
两周了, 很明显这个地方根本没有雪豹的影子. Two weeks on and it's clear there are no snow leopards in the area.
只有土拨鼠可拍, 马克的失望感终于还是流露了出来 Mark's frustration at only having marmots to film is finally beginning to show.
我讨厌土拨鼠. I hate the marmots.
他们就是那种懒骨头, 整天坐在那里晒晒太阳度日, They're just sort of lazy layabouts. Sit around all day in the sun,
偶尔站起来, 大声吼几下. and occasionally stand up and alarm loudly.
在我藏身的地方一眼望去, 一切都很好. Usually at my hide, which, as far as I can see, is perfectly all right.
可它们不这么认为. But they don't seem to think so.
他们吱吱叫的警报声太尖锐了, 会损害人的听力. Their alarm call is so piercing, it physically hurts your ears.
真到要被吃掉时, 他们会跑回洞里 And when they get really fed up, they run down the burrows
在洞里面警报. and they alarm in the burrows.
唉, 希望它们在洞里把自己震聋了. So, hopefully, they'll be deafening themselves down in the burrows.
拍摄雪豹的塑材, 根本什么都没有, With nothing to focus snow leopard activity,
甚至根本连只雪豹的影子都见不到. the difficulty of even seeing one becomes all too apparent.
见到雪豹的可能性有多么渺茫, 现在你知道了吧. Now you can see why it is so impossible to see this animal.
你从哪开始? Where do you begin?
我希望人们看看巴基斯坦的这种图片. I'd love people to see this image of Pakistan.
这不是合成的，是真实的. It's not made up. It's real.
可悲的是, 根本就没几个人来从事这项工作. Sadly, very few people spend their time trying to project this.
八个星期的搜索结束了,结果一无所获. Their eight-week slog come to an end and proves fruitless.
但倪萨仍然保持着达观的心态 But Nisar remains philosophical.
我们要自己出去观察才行, 因为我们有的只是道听途说. We had to go out and see for ourselves because we just had stories and rumours.
如果忽视实践, 天知道我们会错过什么. And if we just ignored them, you never know what we would have missed.
所以我们必须得出去看看. So we had to go out and see.
从某种意义上说,我们必须把传闻和 And, in a way, it was essential to put the story together,
零散的东西加以拼接整合 to piece everything together,
虽然在夏季，并不一定在那个区域看到雪豹. that it's not necessary that you will see her in that habitat in summer.
但事实是，你只能试着去做, 这样会理解得更深入些. But the fact is, you have to try, so that you have a better understanding.
随着冬季的逼近, 大雪即将来临. With the onset of winter, heavy snows threaten.
马克和倪萨回来了, 不顾一切地在搜索那只母雪豹. Mark and Nisar return, desperate to catch up with their female leopard.
好消息是, 捻角山羊开始了一年一度的向山谷迁移, The signs are good. Markhor have begun their annual retreat into the valleys,
小队认为, 雪豹也会跟着它们. and the team think the leopard will follow.
雪豹数量增加的报道, 也把一支科学小队引到了吉德拉尔山. Reports of an increase in leopard sightings have also brought a team of scientists to Chitral.
在山谷入口处的上方布下陷阱, By laying traps higher up at the head of the valley,
他们希望用这种办法在雪豹下来时, 可以捕捉住她. they hope to catch and collar the snow leopard as it begins its descent.
但直觉告诉马克和倪萨要盯着低处的山坡. But Mark and Nisar's instinct is to target the lower slopes.
已经有一年没有见到这只母豹了，而今她的幼仔也已经独立 It's been a year since they saw the female, and now that her cub is independent,
她将不再被束缚于一个地方, 可以自由的寻找猎物了. she will no longer be tied to one area and will be free to follow her prey.
捻角山羊又一次进入了它们生命中的繁忙周期, Once more, the markhor are entering a busy period in their social calendar,
这会使它们变得容易受到攻击. one that will make them far more vulnerable to attack.
繁殖季节开始了. It's the start of the mating season.
雄羊间的竞争惨烈无比. Competition between males is fierce.
最强壮的雄羊找到交配对象后， With the biggest males preoccupied,
年轻的雄羊就有机会和雌羊偷偷的交配了。 the younger males might have a chance to sneak off with a female.
总之, 捻角山羊的注意力完全被转移了。 All in all, the markhor are thoroughly distracted.
这对雪豹来说,是个绝好的机会. It's a great opportunity for their snow leopard.
母豹一定会出现的. Surely she will come.
我不知道, 下午的这个时候, Well, I don't know, this time of the afternoon.
羊群应该往下坡移动. There should be.The markhor should be just starting to come down.
也许它们会来到河边 Maybe they'll come down to the river, and
马克! 雪豹! Mark! Leopard!
雪豹! 太棒了. 拿上架子和背包. Leopard! Great. Get the legs and the bag.
母豹在哪? Where is she?
在岩石上面. 就趴在那. Up there on that rock. Just sitting up there.
哦, 的确是她. 她戴上项圈了. Oh, it's her. She's got a collar on.
她身上有标记了. She's been tagged.
雪豹离我们拍摄的地方很远, As the snow leopard study was far from the filming site,
马克和倪萨根本没想到他们的这只雪豹会第一个被拍到 Mark and Nisar had not considered the possibility that their cat would be the first to be captured.
可以看到雪豹就在那里, 正准备发动攻击. You can see the leopard just up there, and she's just gone into hunting mode.
很明显看可以出, 她要进攻了，真是太明显了。 And it's blatantly obvious she's just started to move now. Blatantly obvious.
她移动的时候, 你可以看到项圈. You can see the collar as she moves.
我是说, 我不知道她怎么抓到猎物, I mean, I don't know how she's gonna catch anything,
因为那样太明显了, 我们都看得出来. because that's so obvious, even to us.
马克有机会拍到一次捕猎了. This could be Mark's chance to film a hunt.
但那个项圈会妨碍靠伪装捕猎的雪豹吗? But would the collar handicap a predator that relies on camouflage?
豹子发现了她下面的一小群捻角山羊, The leopard's seen a small group of markhor below her,
就我观察到的而言，她正试图以一个最佳的方式接近它们. and she's trying to work out the best way to get to them, as far as I can see.
太了不起了. Amazing.
我们以前就是在这个地方拍摄她的。 This is exactly where we filmed her before.
就是这里, 她要么两手空空 This is the point where she either blows it, which she usually does,
要么成功捕到猎物，但通常是前者。 or she actually makes the kill.
难道这不神奇吗？ Is this amazing or what?
是啊, 太不可思议了. Yeah, it's incredible.
我需要你告诉我, 捻角山羊现在离她有多近. What I really need is for you to tell me how close the markhor are to her.
只有50米不到, 捻角山羊正朝这儿来. There are about 50 metres or less. The markhor is coming, running right here.
哦, 太好了. Oh, yeah.
她去了，她在移动. There she goes. She's moving.
对,对.她在移动. Yeah. She's moving.
对, 对.我准备好了. Yeah, yeah.I'm getting ready.
好的. Okay.
大概25米远, 20米了. There's about 25 metres, 20 metres.
四, 五只捻角山羊正朝同样方向过来. Four, five of the markhor are coming the same way.
他们正朝雪豹过来? -是的, 距离不到15米了. Are they moving towards her? -Yes. Not more than 1 5 metres.
越来越近. Coming closer.
现在有一只正在她下方. 小家伙们过来了. Now, that one's right below her. The little ones are coming in.
最多只有五米远. Now she's five metres, not more.
她来了. 她从高处下来了. Here she comes. She's coming up the rise.
大约有三,四米远. She's like three, four metres from her.
快去. 哦, 天啊. Here we go. Oh, goddamn you.
-它们逃开了，雪豹失手了. -她失手了. -They're going. She blew it. -She blew it.
-她貌似动作很慢. -是啊. -She seemed really slow. -Yeah.
又一次失手了. She's off again.
捻角山羊并没有跑得太远, 它们只是呆在另一边. The markhor haven't really gone very far. They're just on the other side.
那边还有一只? 她在看着什么. Is there still one there? She's looking at something.
她肯定在看着什么东西. She's definitely looking at something.
有一只山羊在下面的树丛里. There's a markhor just down here between the trees.
这次, 她可以更好的接近. This time, she's got a better approach.
她去了. Here she goes.
哦,伙计，有种似曾相识的感觉，像是 Oh, this is deja vu, my friend. Like
有另一只山羊跳到水里了. There's another markhor that's gone in water.
哇. Wow.
怎么回事?太疯狂了. What's going on? This is mad.
给一只野生雪豹加项圈, 是科学上卓越的突破 Collaring a wild snow leopard is a remarkable breakthrough for science,
但却让倪萨感觉很复杂. but it leaves Nisar with mixed feelings.
看着她这样 Seeing her
我感觉不舒服. doesn't make me feel good.
感觉不怎么好. Not a good feeling.
我非常渴望看到她, 但看她这样子我有点悲伤. I'm ecstatic to see her, but I'm sad to see her this way.
首次拍到雪豹的消息, 引来了顶尖科学家—— News of the first sighting since her capture brings the head scientist,
汤姆·麦克卡西，来到拍摄现场. Tom McCarthy, down to the filming site.
他要收集第一手资料作研究. He needs to gather information for his study firsthand.
有棵大树, 在上面, 还有块岩石. A big tree, above that, there's that rock.
好的. All right.
我们第一次看到她带着项圈时, 她就坐在那里. The first time we saw her with the collar, she was just sitting there.
-多美丽的背景啊. -嗯，嗯. -Beautiful backdrop. -Mmm-hmm.
他的来访,对倪萨来说, 可以弄清楚 His visit is a chance for Nisar to understand
为什么汤姆要用这种打扰动物的方式来研究雪豹. why Tom is using such an intrusive method to study his cat.
这项研究会提供我们有关雪豹的空前信息量, So this study will give us an unprecedented amount of information on snow leopards,
而这些信息我们欠缺很长时间了。 that we've lacked for a long time.
我们想更好的了解一些基本问题, 比如说, We try to get a better idea about some of the basic questions like,
他们的领地范围有多大? how big is their home range?
当人类进入它们的领地时, 它们会有什么反应? How do they react when people enter their habitat?
它们和领地内的家畜关系是怎样的? How do they relate to livestock in their habitat?
这些都是基本问题, These are really basic questions,
而唯一能真正解答这些问题的方法，就是使用遥感装置. and the only way to really answer them is to use telemetry.
汤姆希望在明年, Tom hopes that, over the next year,
数据会从项圈上传到人造轨道卫星, data will be uploaded from the collar to orbiting satellites,
这样他就可以远程追踪雪豹的活动了. so that he can track the cat's movements remotely.
我们对雪豹的了解太有限了, 所以从项圈传来的信息弥足珍贵. So limited is our knowledge of snow leopards that any data from the collar will be invaluable.
当我看到她, When I see her out here, now with the collar on,
我看到了一只野生雪豹的本色，她现在戴着项圈, I see a wild snow leopard doing what a wild snow leopard does,
却可以把信息与我们共享了, but just sharing that information with us,
这样我们就可以更好的保护各地野生雪豹. so that we can do a better job of conserving wild snow leopards everywhere.
只有最近的卫星技术上的进展 Only recent developments in satellite technology
才使他的研究变为可能. have made this study possible.
但是就像许多前沿的项目一样, 计划赶不上变化 But like many pioneering projects, things don't go exactly to plan.
有消息说, 倪萨的雪豹又被意外的捕到了。 News arrives that Nisar's leopard has been accidentally recaptured.
要把她从陷阱里弄出来,并让她受到的伤害最小 A dart, containing anaesthetic, will be needed to remove her from the snare
看来一支麻醉枪是不可或缺了 with the minimum of harm.
看着她在挣扎,真的很让人心碎. It was a real shock to see her struggling like this.
尽管这是为了科学, 但我还是有点想放她回归自由 Even though this was for science, part of me just wanted to set her free.
近距离的观察下, 她显得格外迷人. At close quarters, her presence is bewitching.
诱捕过程中, 最有趣的环节之一 One of the most amazing parts of the trapping
就是当地人对她的反应. was the reaction of the locals towards her.
你能看见他们轻轻地把雪从她身上抹掉, 抚摸她. You could see them gently brushing the snow off her fur, patting her.
这次突然诱捕, 让当地人有机会近距离的观察她, The surprise capture is a chance for the locals to see her up close,
对研究者来说, 可以给她的项圈换上一节新电池. and for researchers to change her collar for one with a fresh battery.
雪豹的伤口经过抗菌药棉清洗以减少感染的几率, The cuts are cleaned with antiseptic swabs to lessen the chance of infection,
并且在她抵抗力最弱的时候给她取暖。 and she's kept warm when at her most vulnerable.
每一只现存的雪豹都非常珍贵. Every remaining snow leopard is precious.
这种神秘的生物, 一个传奇, There was this mystical creature, a legend,
突然间被人类包围，大家想把她按倒、上锁 suddenly surrounded by humans who were trying to pin her down and shackle her.
然而, 这野兽身上散发着魔力. And yet, there's a magic that this beast gives off.
真是很奇怪，人类想要驯服大自然， It was strange to see humans trying to tame nature.
驯服这种动物 Trying to tame this animal.
雪豹在笼里睡了八小时后, After she had been asleep in the cage for eight hours,
研究人员确信镇静剂药效已过 the researchers were confident the tranquiliser had worn off.
看起来她已经完全恢复, She seemed to have made a full recovery,
但这次重新诱捕令倪萨产生了新的疑惑 but the recapture had sown fresh doubts in Nisar's mind.
汤姆, 你不担心会有什么风险吗? Tom, are you afraid of the risks that are involved?
这样做对吗? Does it justify it?
如果我觉得我们做的不对, 我是不会去做的. If I didn't feel that it justified what we're doing, I wouldn't do it.
你在感情上已经离不开这种动物了 You've become emotionally attached to this animal.
作为一个生物学家, 我知道我们这行 As a biologist, I know very few people in my position
几乎很少有人不对自己花毕生心血保护的动物产生感情 that aren't very emotional about the animals that we have spent our lives trying to protect.
雪豹带着项圈有多难受，那么对我来说， For me to go out there and put a collar on a cat
走过去给雪豹带上项圈就有多难受 is probably as rough on me as it is to that cat.
我没有草率的去做，脑子里只顾及着她的安全 I don't do it lightly. I think of nothing but her safety.
我知道, 的确，她有点难受，还戴着这么个难看的无线电项圈， And I know that, yes, she's sacrificing a little bit, and she's wearing an ugly radio collar.
还得戴上一年, 或者两三年. And she's going to carry it for a year, maybe two or three years.
但她也是为这个物种作贡献, But she's doing this for the betterment of the species,
让巴基斯坦的雪豹生活的更好, for the betterment of snow leopards here in Pakistan,
让全世界的雪豹生活的更好。 for the betterment of snow leopards all the way across the range.
我知道如果我们这么做, 可以更好地拯救所有雪豹. I know that if we do this, we have a much better chance of saving all of these cats.
但只有母豹的正常生活不受项圈影响, But the project will only be a success
这个研究项目才算成功. if the female behaves naturally, unhampered by the collar.
如果受到影响, 那这些数据就毫无价值. If not, the data will be worthless.
几天后, 马克开始观察到母豹的一些行为 A few days later, Mark begins to recognise behaviours in her
这些行为在雪豹上项圈之前他就看到过 that he had seen prior to the collaring.
大约下午2:30左右, 雪豹来到一座峭壁上, 等在那. At about 2:30 in the afternoon, she went off to a cliff, and waited there.
周围没有捻角山羊. There's no markhor around at all.
突然, 你看到有石头滚落下. And then suddenly, you could just see a few boulders rolling down.
有只捻角羊从陡壁跑下去. And there's one markhor that was coming down the cliff.
雪豹听到石头的声音, 绕着峭壁转了转，选好位置 And she heard the boulders and she moved around this cliff and took up this position,
比刚从她身边跑开，一直朝山沟里跑的那只羊, slightly higher up than the markhor, who went down away from her,
位置稍高点 and then down towards this gully.
跑下碎石坡时, 雪豹开始了她惯有的打滚动作. And as she came down the scree slope, she did this rolling thing which she does.
她在地上滚来滚去, 就像家猫一样. She'll roll right over on her back like a domestic cat.
当她这样打滚时, 你就会知道, 她要开始认真捕猎了. When she does this rolling, you know that she's into a serious hunt.
我们不是很清楚为什么会这样. We don't quite know why.
可能是在掩饰体味,或是改变皮肤的颜色. Maybe it's to kind of mask the scent or change the colour.
她进一步往下走, 到了这个位置. So she went further down, and she got to this point,
往下看着捻角山羊. and she was looking down at the markhor.
而这时山羊刚刚经过山沟的边缘, And the markhor just went over the lip of the gully,
就在羊走过边缘时, 雪豹从山坡上冲下来. and as soon as he'd gone over the lip, she charged down the hill.
跑了好长一段距离. Really long run.
跑到树丛那, 藏了起来. It got to this bush, and hid in this bush.
我跟着雪豹下来, 到了这个位置. I was following her down, and I got to this point.
由于这相机的取景器是黑白的， And because of this black and white viewfinder in the camera,
我实在看不清发生了什么. I couldn't really see what was going on.
实际上, 山羊正好在镜头的中央. In fact, the markhor was just right in the middle of the frame.
我根本什么也看不到。 I couldn't see it at all.
因此我就想, "她哪去了? 她哪去了?" So, I was like, "Where's she gone? Where's she gone?"
我移动着镜头,就在那时, 雪豹从树丛里冲出来， Moved the camera, and at that moment, she came charging out of the bush,
把山羊赶出来, 扑到其背上, and took him out. Jumped right on top of him,
然后他们一起掉到山沟底部去了. and they disappeared down to the bottom of this gully.
她成功的完成了一次捕猎, 甚至还戴着白项圈呢 She had made a successful kill, and so, even with this white collar on,
你看, 很显然她有能力生存下来. you know, she was obviously still able to survive.
她能够做到这样我真是放心了，这很棒。 So that was quite a relief to see she could do that. That was good.
一直以来, 我都很心烦 For the longest time, I was really upset
你知道, 我看不出我们所做的工作是否正确 You know, I just could not see the justification of all of this.
但现在, 看到她戴着项圈也可以捕猎, But now, having seen her hunt with her collar on,
就好像她很高兴似的. it was almost like she was happy.
她貌似很好,这就值了. She seems okay, and it almost seems worthwhile.
对马克和倪萨来说, 雪豹这次成功的捕猎是个转折点. The successful hunt is the turning point for Mark and Nisar.
显然, 他们的拍摄记录将变得非常重要 It becomes clear their photographic record will be more important
重要得超乎想像. than they had ever imagined.
研究者们就能使用这些图像和项圈中的数据 The researchers will be able to use these images alongside the data from the collar.
这两者加在一起的研究价值, 比光有一样要大得多. They're far more informative together than either is alone.
把科学和影像结合在一起, Using this combination of science and film,
我们终于开始理解这种最神秘的生物了. we're finally starting to understand this most enigmatic of creatures.
雪豹生活的一扇窗打开了. A window on the life of the snow leopard has finally been opened.
在接下来的几周里, 项圈的另一个好处开始显露. Over the next few weeks, another benefit of the collar becomes clear.
过去, 考察队只能靠感觉或传闻来找雪豹. In the past, the team had to rely on instinct or rumours to find the leopard.
现在, 他们可以使用项圈中的数据. Now, they can use hard data from the collar.
有史以来第一次，考察队能追踪她了. For the first time, the team can actually follow her.
研究者们的信息, 让他们回到了当地村子, The information from the researchers leads them back to the local village,
马克就在那儿拍到了雪豹睡在刚捕到的猎物旁 where Mark films her sleeping next to a fresh kill.
但镜头显示她的猎物是野生捻角山羊, 不是普通山羊 But the camera reveals her prey to be a wild markhor, not a goat.
现在研究雪豹得到的知识, 可以在将来挽救它们, What is learnt from studying snow leopards now may help to save them in the future,
但倪萨知道, 他的雪豹马上要面临来自当地村民的危险. but Nisar knows his leopard faces an immediate risk from the local villagers.
他决定去拜访那个去年冬天死了山羊的牧民. He decides to visit the herdsmen whose goats were killed last winter.
这些人需要帮助. People like this need the support.
他们要明白, 还有更广大的世界. They need to understand that there is a bigger picture.
这些人过着日复一日的生活, 一无所有. These people exist day to day. They have nothing.
作为一个巴基斯坦人,我同情他们,明白他们的两难处境. As a Pakistani, I can empathise with them, that I can see their dilemma.
如果雪豹和其它的动物要生存下去的话， You have to take these people into the fold
你必须要改变人们的价值观。 if the snow leopard and the rest of these animals have to survive here.
通过给村民看这些影像 By showing the villagers images
并向他们解释科学研究, and explaining the scientific study,
倪萨希望让人们意识到他们的猫邻居的价值. Nisar hopes to make people aware of the value of their feline neighbour.
他说, "实际上, 这是我的敌人." He says, "Actually, this is my enemy."
然后他又看了一眼, 说"哦, 不, 现在是我的朋友了." And then he looked at it again and he said, "Well, no, actually, that's my friend now."
这是他们的遗产，是他们的自然界. This is their heritage. It's their natural world.
野生动植物也是他们的。 It's their natural wildlife out here.
如果他们不参与进来, 什么都没用. If they're not involved, nothing will work.
我们必须把遗产的所有权还给这些人. We must give ownership of their heritage back to these people.
通过拍摄这些非同寻常的影像, By filming such remarkable images,
马克和倪萨已经掀开了这种生物神秘的面纱. Mark and Nisar have begun to lift the veil from this almost mythical creature.
他们着手讲述一只单独雪豹的故事, They set out to tell the story of an individual snow leopard,
但结果, 却获得了更多. but, in the event, achieved far more than that.
在我们呆的这段时间里, 谁会相信 Who would have believed, during our time here,
二十年来第一个项圈计划 the first snow leopard collaring project in 20 years
不仅被带到这, 还给我们的雪豹上了项圈. would not only come to here, but also collar our snow leopard.
这中间的故事 The issues involved are far more interesting
比仅仅给雪豹拍一张漂亮的照片有趣多了. than just trying to take a pretty picture of a snow leopard.
我们对动物保护事业的理解比刚来这儿时 We're all now involved in a much more profound kind of understanding
要深入得多了。 of the conservation issues than when we first came here.
如果你想创造一种意识, If you want to create awareness,
想要让这些人感到自己和雪豹 if you want these people to feel that they belong
都是属于他们的财产, 那么他们必须共同拥有这种意识 and the animal belongs to them, they must share in that.
所以不管是给他们看照片, So whether you show it to them in the form of a photograph,
还是用手机给他们看, 无所谓看什么, 这种意识必须要让他们知道 or on a mobile phone, or whatever it is, it's essential that that be shared with them.
我希望, 他们能看到真实的雪豹, My wish and hope, that they see the snow leopard for real,
而不是在手机里. rather than on a mobile phone.
这就是一切所做工作要达到的目的. That's what all the work should translate into.
也是他们将来要期盼的东西. That should be something that they look forward to in their future.
不只是图像, 而是真实的东西. Not just this image, but the real thing.
我知道,事实上雪豹的价值会被使用和开发, I'm aware of the fact that our snow leopard will be used and exploited,
不论是为了科学, 或是旅游业, 又或者是为了提升巴基斯坦的形象. whether it's for science, or for tourism, or to promote Pakistan's image.
如果我老实告诉你,就我本人而言， If I'm honest with you, for me, personally,
雪豹在一个更加深入的、个人的层次上感动了我。 she's touched me on a much deeper, personal level.
正是这些感动让我必须回来照顾她,就像她照顾我那样。 That's something that demands that I come back and look after her
