夜 The night.
一個暗影重重的世界 那裡藏著地球上超過一半的動物 A shadowy world that hides more than half the animals on our planet.
在過去的鏡頭中 我們只能匆匆一瞥動物的生活 Until now, cameras only offered a glimpse into their lives.
但憑借新一代科技 But with next-generation technology,
我們眼中的夜晚和白天一樣清晰 we can see the night as clear as day.
有了比人類眼睛敏感100倍的攝像機 With cameras a hundred times more sensitive than the human eye. . .
我們終於能夠捕捉到夜晚的美 we can now capture the beauty of night. . .
以全真色彩 in color.
怪譎的自然風光 Alien landscapes.
在黑夜裡活躍的奇特生物 Strange creatures brought to life by the darkness.
前所未見的行為 Unseen behaviors.
現在我們能追蹤動物的生活 Now we can follow the lives of animals
前往地球最後的荒野 in Earth's last true wilderness.
夜 The night.
在東南亞的叢林 太陽落山了 Sunset over the jungles of Southeast Asia.
地球上其中一個最古老的雨林 And one of the oldest rain forests on the planet
將要經歷一個奇妙的轉變 is about to undergo an extraordinary transformation.
隨著日暮降臨 As dusk draws in. . .
白天活躍的動物歇息了 the day shift comes to an end.
但在熱帶 夜間活動的動物 But here in the tropics, more animals have turned to the night. . .
比地球上任何地方都多 than anywhere else on Earth.
它們的故事和這個神秘世界的秘密 一直是一個謎 Their stories and the secrets of this ghostly world have been a mystery. . .
直到現在 until now.
在一棵巨型絞殺無花果樹 交錯蜿蜒的樹根深處 Deep in the twisted roots of a giant strangler fig tree. . .
在看不見的地方 hidden from view. . .
棲居著也許可稱為 世界上最奇特的夜行生物 lives, perhaps, the most bizarre nighttime creature of all.
幽靈眼鏡猴 The spectral tarsier.
這是一種體型極小的靈長類動物 幾乎還沒網球大 Tiny primates barely larger than a tennis ball.
這個緊密的眼鏡猴家族三代同堂 This close-knit family is three generations together.
祖父母 The grandparents. . .
它們的成年孩子 their grown-up kids. . .
和兩隻小小的新成員 and two tiny new arrivals.
最小的是一隻膽小的眼鏡猴 只有兩周大 The youngest, a timid two-week-old. . .
它仍需要母親哺乳 still feeding on his mother's milk.
它有個年紀較大的表哥 And his older cousin, a toddler.
五周大的它剛學會行走 Five weeks old, just finding his feet.
迫不及待地想知道 眼鏡猴的生活是怎麼樣的 Eager to discover exactly how tarsier life works.
保護兩個幼崽平安度過接下來的漫漫長夜 Just keeping these two youngsters safe through the long night ahead. . .
將是一個駭人的挑戰 will be a daunting challenge.
眼鏡猴一家面臨著嚴峻的挑戰 The family have definitely got their work cut out.
每天晚上 眼鏡猴的第一個任務 Each night, the tarsiers' first task. . .
是一種略特別的個人身體清理 is a bit of unusual personal grooming.
拽耳朵 Ear tugging.
看起來很疼 但這是獵食前的重要準備工作 It looks painful, but this is important preparation for hunting. . .
清理耳朵可提高它們靈敏的聽覺 priming their ears to maximize their sensitive hearing.
每個家庭成員都有自己的獨特清理方式 Each family member has its own unique way of doing it.
有的成員清理得格外徹底 Some more thorough than others.
接下來就是捕食時間 Next. . . it's time to hunt.
眼鏡猴的夜間視力比人類強100倍 Tarsier night vision is a hundred times better than ours.
但是有了低光度攝像機 But now, low-light cameras. . .
我們能看到它們的夜間世界 can see their nocturnal world. . .
和它們眼中的一樣清晰 as clearly as they do.
每個夜晚 眼鏡猴必須吃下 相當於自身重量十分之一的昆蟲 Each night, tarsiers must eat a tenth of their body weight in insects.
如果要為小猴哺乳 那就得多吃三分之一 One-third again if they're feeding a little one.
在舒適的樹木之家上 From the safety of his home tree,
五周大的小猴看著大猴們外出捕食 the five-week-old watches on as the adults hunt.
幾周後 它就得完全靠自己捕食了 In just a few weeks' time, he'll need to do it all for himself.
有許多要學習的東西 There's lots to learn.
它必須學會使用衛星鍋狀的耳朵 He must master his satellite-dish ears,
分別移動兩側耳朵 在黑暗中接收微小的聲音 moving each one independently to pick up tiny sounds in the dark.
接下來是它有如大光圈鏡頭的眼睛 Next, his huge light-bucket eyes.
成年後 眼鏡猴的一隻眼睛就比大腦大 Once fully grown, each eye is bigger than a tarsier's brain.
它必須學會傾斜腦袋以判斷距離 He must learn to tilt his head to judge distance.
對於成年猴而言 這能幫助它們極精準地撲擊 For the adults, this helps them pounce with pinpoint accuracy.
還有最後一課 And there's one final lesson.
在眼鏡猴一家進餐時 At family mealtimes. . .
原則是先到… it's first come. . .
先得 first served.
眼鏡猴一家該深入森林了 It's time for the family to venture deeper into the forest.
小猴子太小了 無法進行遠距離旅行 The little ones are too small to travel far.
所以它們需要母親帶著它們 So they rely on their mothers to carry them. . .
方式是放在嘴裡 in their mouths.
這可不容易 No easy task.
五分之一的眼鏡猴寶寶 在出生一個月內喪命 One in five tarsier babies are lost in their first month.
所以對於兩周大的小寶寶而言 So for the tiny two-week-old. . .
離開安全的樹木之家 leaving the safety of the family tree. . .
是向前跨出了巨大的一步 is a giant step.
過去從未在森林這麼深的地方 拍攝眼鏡猴一家 Filming the family deeper in the forest than ever before. . .
我們終於能揭開秘密 看看眼鏡猴如何保護幼崽安全度過夜晚 we can now see the secret way tarsiers keep their young safe through the night.
不是一隻 Not just one. . .
而是兩隻眼鏡猴寶寶 but two tarsier babies. . .
留在原地 藏在同一棵樹上 left hidden in the same tree.
以往的鏡頭從未捕捉到 這樣的迷你眼鏡猴育兒所 A tiny tarsier nursery, never filmed before.
兩個表兄弟互相關照 Two cousins watching each other's backs. . .
讓成年猴騰出時間去捕食 leaving the adults free to hunt.
但在天黑後現身的 飢餓捕獵者不只有眼鏡猴 But tarsiers aren't the only hungry predators to emerge after dark.
對於米納草鴞來說 眼鏡猴寶寶是美味大餐 For a Minahassa masked owl, a baby tarsier would make a tasty meal.
今晚會很漫長 It's going to be a long night ahead.
天剛黑的幾個小時裡 In the first hours of darkness. . .
並非所有生物都藏在暗影中 not everything is hiding in the shadows.
沿著河流 Along the waterways. . .
夜晚最美妙的奇觀出現 樹木也跟著活過來了 the trees come alive with one of the night's greatest wonders.
螢火蟲 Fireflies.
最明亮的閃光來自尋找配偶的公螢火蟲 The brightest flashes are males looking for love.
一眼看上去 它們似乎沒什麼章法 At first, they seem random.
每隻螢火蟲有自己的節奏 Each working to their own beat.
但是漸漸地 它們的節奏開始同步 But slowly, they synchronize.
以相同的節奏閃著螢光 黑暗裡的每一棵樹都成了燈塔 Flashing in unison, each tree becomes a beacon in the darkness.
用這場讓人迷醉的表演吸引母螢火蟲 Drawing in females with this hypnotic display.
當母螢火蟲接近時 公螢火蟲的閃光會變強 As a female approaches, the males' flashing intensifies.
鏡頭捕捉到的細節令人驚歎 Captured in astonishing detail. . .
我們能看到產生 這種魔法般生物光的化學反應 We can see the chemical reaction that creates this magical bioluminescence.
當滿月升起 月光籠罩森林 As a full moon rises, light floods the forest.
這場炫目的表演結束了 And this dazzling display comes to an end.
對於眼鏡猴來說 滿月意味著危險 For the tarsiers, the full moon spells danger.
更多亮光意味著它們能去森林更深處探索 The extra light allows them to venture deeper into the forest
能比其他時間走得更遠 than at any other time.
但它們越深入 But the further they go,
就越可能遇到捕獵者 the more likely they are to run into predators.
大膽冒險 Taking a chance. . .
這些爬樹能手們 these tree-climbing specialists. . .
做出意想不到的舉動 do something unexpected.
它們從安全的高枝上落下 They drop from the safety of the branches. . .
想突擊地面的生物 to ambush creatures on the ground.
對於這些小靈長類動物而言 For these tiny primates,
森林的地面到處是美食 the forest floor is packed with treats.
而在樹枝高處 High above, hidden in the branches. . .
藏著兩隻眼鏡猴寶寶 它們俯瞰著在地面覓食的家人 the two tarsier babies watch their family foraging below.
五周大的小猴 The five-week-old. . .
幾乎能靠自己捕食了 is almost ready to start hunting for himself.
它仍在學習如何在森林裡穿梭 He's still mastering how to move through the forest.
但它已經夠大了 能夠認出好吃的零食 But he is old enough to recognize a tasty snack when he sees one.
一頓口感豐富的美餐 A rich feast. . .
對於飢餓的小猴來說 誘惑太大了 too tempting for a hungry youngster.
但是在晚上 But at night. . .
要想捕食 必須身手敏捷 you've got to be quick to catch your prey.
一隻巨大的蘇拉威西塔蘭托毒蛛 搶走了它的美餐 A giant Sulawesi tarantula takes this meal.
在危機四伏的森林裡 In a forest full of dangers. . .
小猴子必須學會跳躍 it's time for the youngster to make one of his very first leaps. . .
才能回到母親安全的懷抱 back to the protection of mum.
眼鏡猴並非受益於滿月的唯一動物 Tarsiers aren't the only animals taking advantage of the full moon.
在叢林的一個瀑布下 At a jungle waterfall. . .
兩個敵人正在打量對方 two rivals are sizing each other up.
黑斑岩蛙佔據了一處極佳的進食位置 A black-spotted rock frog has secured a prime feeding position.
但一群體型更大的沙巴濺蛙 也覬覦它的地盤 But a gang of bigger Sabah splash frogs are after his spot.
通常 一聲尖銳的呼喚就能喝退它們 Normally, a sharp call would tell them to back off.
但在瀑布旁邊 But next to a waterfall. . .
很難將聲音傳出去 it's hard to make yourself heard.
所以它們使用一種秘密信號 So they use a secret sign language.
它們向對方揮動蛙腿 They wave at each other.
腳趾間的白色皮膚 The white skin between their toes. . .
在月光下反射著光 這是一種警告 glinting in the moonlight, is a warning.
但更大的濺蛙有一個特別招數 But the bigger splash frog has a special move.
伸雙腿大法 The double-legger.
巖蛙不退縮 The rock frog stands his ground.
雙方都不退讓 And when neither of them back down. . .
只有一個辦法一分勝負 there's only one way to settle things.
這一次沒有贏家 This time, there is no winner.
黑夜快到盡頭了 The night is almost over.
在高高的樹冠中 High in the canopy,
兩周大的小猴等待母親捕食歸來 the tiny two-week-old waits for his mother to return from hunting.
在森林裡獨自等待 Being all alone in the forest. . .
是很嚇人的 is a scary business.
一條網紋蟒 A reticulated python.
成年蛇太重了 無法爬到高高的樹冠處 An adult snake would be too heavy to climb high into the canopy.
但這是一條幼蛇 But this is a juvenile. . .
攀爬技術高超 an excellent climber.
它此刻使用的肌肉 與纏繞獵物時使用的相同 With the same muscles it would use to strangle its prey. . .
它能借此爬到最細的樹枝上 the snake can ascend the thinnest of branches.
不警覺的眼鏡猴是完美的餐點 Any unsuspecting tarsier would make the perfect meal.
但這些社會性的靈長類動物 有一種聰明的方式保護家庭安全 But these social primates have a clever way to keep their family safe.
一旦發現入侵者 它們就發出警告聲 The moment they spot an intruder, they sound an alarm.
三聲急促的吱吱叫聲 Three rapid squeaks. . .
意思是最高級別的危險 the call for the highest level of danger.
警告讓成年猴聚集起來圍攻蛇 The alarm brings the adults together to mob the snake.
從一個枝頭跳到另一個枝頭 Leaping from branch to branch,
它們創造一種圍攻者眾多的假象 they create the illusion of more attackers.
雖然有危險 It may be risky. . .
但今晚 but tonight. . .
這招成功了 it works.
危險消除後 Only once the danger has been seen off. . .
成年猴才會回來接幼崽 do the adults return to collect their youngsters.
黎明漸漸來臨 As dawn approaches,
眼鏡猴一家回到安全的樹木之家 the family returns to the safety of the home tree.
六隻成年猴 Six adults. . .
一隻五周大的頑皮小猴子第一次嘗試捕食 a mischievous five-week-old who tried hunting for the first time. . .
還有一隻兩周大的幼崽 and a tiny two-week-old. . .
它存活過第一個外出之夜 who survived one of his very first nights out. . .
在叢林深處 deep in the jungle.
（鏡頭下的黑夜）
為了拍攝眼鏡猴的夜生活 To film the nocturnal lives of tarsiers. . .
《Earth at Night》團隊 深入東南亞森林深處 the Earth at Night team traveled deep into the forests of Southeast Asia.
一支團隊在地面上跟拍眼鏡猴一家 While one crew followed the tarsier family on the ground. . .
攀爬專家蒂姆佛格 則負責在夜裡的樹冠中拍攝 specialist climber Tim Fogg was tasked with filming in the canopy at night.
樹冠高達十層樓 Ten stories up.
在白天做這件事沒什麼問題 It's all very well doing this sort of thing in daylight,
你能看清一切 when you can see everything that's going on,
但我們想在晚上拍攝 but we're trying to take it on at night
（吊繩專家 蒂姆佛格）
這就有重重困難了 and that adds layers and layers of problems.
你顯然要俯視 什麼都看不見 You obviously look down. You can't see what's happening.
下面什麼都沒有 You're holding it down on nothing.
為了拍攝片頭的絞殺無花果樹 To get the opening shots of the strangler fig tree,
團隊必須將低光度攝像機 裝在穩定滑輪裝置上 the team had to balance a low-light camera on a stabilized pulley system.
還是太重了 拿一些出來 That's still too heavy. Take some out.
哇 慢慢來 小心 好的 可以了 Whoa! Steady! Careful! Okay, that's it!
攝像裝備裝好了 With the rig ready to go. . .
蒂姆必須等待月亮升起 才有足夠的光拍攝 Tim had to wait for the moon to rise to give enough light to film.
在地面上 On the ground,
攝像師馬克佩恩吉爾拍攝眼鏡猴時 cameraman Mark Payne-Gill prepared to film the tarsiers
準備使用經特別處理的鏡頭 這種鏡頭原本用於另一用途 with a specially adapted lens, built for a very different purpose.
這種鏡頭的一個很大的優點是… The great thing about this lens is that it's designed
（攝像師 馬克佩恩吉爾）
…它原本是用來讓天文學家 錄下或拍攝夜空中很難看清的物體 for astronomers to film or photograph very faint objects in the night sky.
好的 All right.
這是我第一次使用這種鏡頭 This will be the first time I've ever had to run around a lens of this kind
說實話 以前從沒用這個拍過 on any shoot, to be honest.
製作團隊的目標是 The crew's aim,
捕捉到眼鏡猴寶寶獨自在叢林等待的畫面 to capture the moment when a tarsier baby is left alone in the jungle.
他們拖著沉重的設備在森林中走了幾公里 Having hauled the heavy kit many kilometers through the forest,
終於找到一處藏身點 they finally discovered a hiding place.
好的 找到了 這裡不錯 Okay, I got it. This is nice.
對 很棒 Yeah. It's great.
哇 Wow.
很難相信這個小傢伙 一整夜獨自待在樹枝上 Hard to believe this little thing just stays there all night on its own
沒有任何保護 with nothing to defend it.
等待媽媽在早上回來 And just wait for its mum to come back in the morning.
50米的高空中 夜空終於放晴了 Fifty meters up, the night skies eventually cleared,
滿月出現了 revealing a full moon.
好的 來吧 Okay, here we go.
團隊開始工作了 And the crew got to work.
對 很棒 謝謝 蒂姆 Yeah, that looks amazing. Thanks, Tim.
從樹冠到森林的地面 From the canopy to the forest floor. . .
製作團隊成功攝到 the team was able to document the secret lives. . .
