17
00:00:14,260 --> 00:00:28,500
地球脉动 第二季

18
00:00:16,420 --> 00:00:28,500
第五集 草原

19
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:37,800
地球上四分之一的土地
One quarter of all the land on Earth

20
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,780
覆盖着唯一一种伟大的植被
is covered by a single, remarkable type of plant.

21
00:00:47,810 --> 00:00:52,400
它们几乎坚不可摧  一天可以长高六十厘米
Almost indestructible, it can grow two feet in a day...

22
00:00:58,620 --> 00:01:02,320
连巨型动物都能藏匿其中
And be tall enough to hide a giant.

23
00:01:06,220 --> 00:01:08,230
那就是草本
That plant is grass,

24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,210
草本植物构建出来的世界独具一格
and the world it creates is truly unique.

25
00:01:25,530 --> 00:01:29,350
印度北部的草是地球上长得最高的
The grass in northern India is the tallest on the planet,

26
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:33,750
这里是众多神奇生物的家园
home to some of the most impressive creatures to tread the Earth.

27
00:01:48,470 --> 00:01:50,410
现在正当好时候
These are the good times,

28
00:01:50,620 --> 00:01:54,610
可再过几个月  这些青草就会消失
but in just a few months, all this fresh growth will be gone,

29
00:01:54,770 --> 00:01:58,060
动物们将被迫迁徙
and the animals will be forced to move on.

30
00:02:00,630 --> 00:02:05,450
地球上的草原都是如此
That is the way things are on grasslands across the planet.

31
00:02:09,020 --> 00:02:13,430
重复着富足  消亡  重生的循环
A cycle of abundance, destruction and rebirth

32
00:02:13,460 --> 00:02:16,120
从而影响着栖息在这里的所有生命
that affects every creature that lives here.

33
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:26,090
草原

34
00:02:30,820 --> 00:02:35,710
辽阔的欧亚草原区是地球上最大的草原地带
The largest grassland on Earth, the vast Eurasian Steppe,

35
00:02:35,710 --> 00:02:39,390
覆盖距离达到地球周长的三分之一
stretches one third of the way around our planet.

36
00:02:43,450 --> 00:02:48,800
青草随春雨而生  也带来了新生命
Spring rain has brought fresh grass, and with it, new life.

37
00:02:52,850 --> 00:02:57,770
一种冰川时代存活至今的生物  高鼻羚羊幼崽
A relic from the Ice Age, a baby Saiga antelope,

38
00:02:57,900 --> 00:02:59,630
出生才三小时
just three hours old.

39
00:03:02,870 --> 00:03:05,630
陪伴它的只有它的孪生兄弟
His only company, his twin.

40
00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:08,310
在它们能站起来之前
Until they can stand,

41
00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:11,420
母亲会将它们藏在草丛中
their mother has left them hidden in the grass.

42
00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:22,590
这样应该很安全  只要保持安静
They should be safe, as long as they remain quiet.

43
00:03:27,580 --> 00:03:30,710
对这两只小羊来说  时间紧迫
For these calves, the clock is already ticking.

44
00:03:31,980 --> 00:03:33,990
羚羊群很快就要离开
Their herd will soon be moving on,

45
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:36,630
去寻找最新鲜的草场
seeking the freshest new grass.

46
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,210
高鼻羚羊四肢瘦长
Their lanky legs are a sure sign

47
00:03:56,250 --> 00:03:58,740
预示着它们一生都将奔波在路上
that they're built for a life on the move.

48
00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:25,800
高鼻羚羊总会产下孪生幼崽
Saiga always give birth to twins,

49
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,590
这样能够在草源充足时迅速繁衍
so their numbers grow rapidly just when grass is plentiful.

50
00:04:33,090 --> 00:04:36,760
它们的鼻子长相奇怪  却能够勘测到
Their bizarrely shaped nose can detect fresh growth

51
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,830
几百公里外的青草长势
from hundreds of miles away.

52
00:04:50,180 --> 00:04:53,540
这两只小羊即将与其他草原动物一样
The young twins will now begin the nomadic life

53
00:04:53,540 --> 00:04:58,070
开始辽阔草原上不断迁徙的生活
they share with most animals on the world's open plains.

54
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,890
降雨量不足以养育森林时就会出现草原
Grasslands occur where rain is too sporadic for forests to exist.

55
00:05:34,660 --> 00:05:38,070
草原生长所需的年降雨量
The rain that a grassland needs to survive for a year

56
00:05:38,170 --> 00:05:40,610
可能会一次来临
might arrive all at once.

57
00:06:00,970 --> 00:06:06,210
这样的暴雨在24小时内能达到300毫米降雨量
Storms like these can release 12 inches of rain in 24 hours.

58
00:06:16,730 --> 00:06:19,760
淋起来可不好受
Not much fun if you're out in it.

59
00:06:31,010 --> 00:06:34,270
最终土壤无法继续吸收雨水
Eventually the earth can't soak up any more,

60
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,050
草原也完全变了样子
and the grassland undergoes a radical change.

61
00:06:47,460 --> 00:06:52,220
许多植物会被淹死  而草本却会茁壮生长
Many plants would drown here, but grasses thrive.

62
00:06:55,050 --> 00:06:56,320
它们长得飞快
They grow so fast,

63
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,170
茎叶迅速伸出水面  沐浴在阳光下
their leaves quickly rise above the water and into the sunlight.

64
00:07:04,270 --> 00:07:06,110
在南非
Here in southern Africa,

65
00:07:06,110 --> 00:07:10,930
降水能让世界上最奇特的草原之一改头换面
water transforms one of the most remarkable grasslands on Earth,

66
00:07:13,150 --> 00:07:14,690
奥卡万戈三角洲
the Okavango.

67
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,600
每年都有近一万三千平方公里的草原被水淹没
Every year, 5,000 square miles of grassland are flooded.

68
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:34,640
对于狮群来说  这成了最大的问题
For one pride of lions, this poses a major problem.

69
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,990
虽然猎物众多
There may be plenty of prey around,

70
00:07:39,220 --> 00:07:42,120
但狮子并不擅长在水中捕猎
but lions struggle to run it down in water.

71
00:07:49,060 --> 00:07:51,560
狮群中有三个月的幼崽
The pride has three-month-old cubs.

72
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:53,860
它们以前从未见过水
They've never seen water before.

73
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,000
如果母狮们短时间内捕不到猎物
If their mothers don't make a kill soon,

74
00:08:00,270 --> 00:08:03,220
这些幼崽可能撑不过这周
the cubs might not survive the week.

75
00:08:12,270 --> 00:08:14,000
受洪水滋养
But fuelled by the flood,

76
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,210
蓬勃生长的青草吸引来新的猎物
the eruption of grass attracts new possible prey.

77
00:08:21,030 --> 00:08:24,220
数量超过两千头的水牛群接踵而至
Buffalo arrive in herds 2,000 strong.

78
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,870
强大  好斗  抱团前进
Powerful, aggressive and united,

79
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:37,900
狮子能遇到的动物中  水牛是最危险的
they're the most dangerous animal a lion can face.

80
00:09:15,150 --> 00:09:17,360
体型最大的公牛不会逃跑
The biggest bulls don't run.

81
00:09:19,730 --> 00:09:23,270
他们仗着身形庞大  并不惧怕狮子
They're simply too huge to be scared of lions.

82
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:30,750
重达九百公斤  他比五头母狮加起来都重
At 900 kilos, he weighs more than all five lionesses combined.

83
00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:37,420
虽然狮群占据了数量优势
The pride do have numbers on their side,

84
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,890
但如果被水牛角扫到  可能会直接丧命
but one sweep of his horns could be deadly.

85
00:09:55,490 --> 00:09:57,420
一头母狮正面诱敌
One distracts the bull up front,

86
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:59,910
她的姐妹从后方进攻
while her sisters attack from behind.

87
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,100
母狮们必须想办法压倒公牛
The cats must somehow topple the buffalo,

88
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:16,430
但沼泽太过湿滑  脚底无法借力
but with swamp under foot, they can't get any traction.

89
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,120
公牛逐渐虚弱
The bull is weakening,

90
00:11:01,890 --> 00:11:04,140
但狮群也露出疲态
but the lions are tiring, too.

91
00:11:09,050 --> 00:11:13,010
现在是体力与毅力的双重考验
It's now a battle of will as much as strength.

92
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,650
要想活下去  公牛必须想办法甩掉母狮
To live, the bull must somehow shake off the lioness.

93
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,830
这头公牛受了伤
The bull is wounded,

94
00:11:58,850 --> 00:12:02,560
但幸亏有五厘米厚的牛皮  他会慢慢痊愈
but thanks to his two-inch-thick hide, he will recover.

95
00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:11,920
而狮群  只能忍饥挨饿了
For the pride, these are hungry times.

96
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,880
但等到水位降低  便会有新生命来临
But, ultimately, once the water recedes, there will be new life,

97
00:12:25,450 --> 00:12:28,200
也就有了新的食物来源
and new food to benefit all.

98
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,720
只要条件适宜  草本植物可以在短短几天内
In the right conditions, grasses have the extraordinary ability

99
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,680
完成从发芽到开花的全过程
to grow from first shoots to flower in a matter of only days.

100
00:12:52,180 --> 00:12:56,710
青草变成一棵棵微型果树
Grasses become the miniature equivalents of fruiting trees.

101
00:13:03,660 --> 00:13:06,150
对于住在其中的生物来说
And for creatures living within the grass,

102
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,060
这样的草丛就像雨林一样高大葱郁
this is a landscape as vast and towering as any rainforest.

103
00:13:15,890 --> 00:13:18,980
非常适合建造小树屋
And excellent place to build a tiny tree house

104
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,880
供巢鼠居住
for a harvest mouse.

105
00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:38,610
夏季的欧洲草原食物充盈
During summer, European meadowlands are full of food,

106
00:13:41,970 --> 00:13:44,260
只看谁能捷足先登
but only for those that can reach it.

107
00:14:02,590 --> 00:14:05,590
爬草比爬树更困难
Climbing grass is harder than climbing trees,

108
00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:09,330
主要是因为草茎不会静止不动
not least because their stems just won't stay still.

109
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,000
她的尾巴可以抓握物体  就像第五只手
Her prehensile tail acts like a fifth limb,

110
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,040
让她如林中穿梭的猴子一般敏捷灵活
so she's as agile as a monkey clambering around in a tree.

111
00:14:32,010 --> 00:14:33,400
和森林中一样
And just as well,

112
00:14:33,420 --> 00:14:35,910
这片草丛中最好的食物
for the best food in this tiny forest

113
00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:38,030
也在植株最顶端
is at the very top of its canopy.

114
00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:51,640
但爬到高处觅食  就会暴露自己
Feeding up here, she's exposed.

115
00:14:58,890 --> 00:15:00,320
一只仓鸮
A barn owl.

116
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,760
动作不算灵巧
Not her finest move...

117
00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:37,930
但也算成功逃命
But it did the trick.

118
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,530
巢鼠鲜少在地面行动
Harvest mice seldom go all the way down to the ground.

119
00:15:46,730 --> 00:15:50,210
这里的世界复杂而危险
It's a tangled and dangerous world down here.

120
00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:07,610
但她能够通过解读头顶的草茎来辨明方向
But she can read the pattern of the stems overhead like a map,

121
00:16:08,540 --> 00:16:10,670
从而找到回家的路
and so find her way home.

122
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,900
时机刚好
And not a minute too soon.

123
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,800
幼崽嗷嗷待哺
There are mouths to feed.

124
00:16:41,190 --> 00:16:43,510
她的宝宝们必须迅速长大
Her babies must fatten up quickly.

125
00:16:45,510 --> 00:16:47,940
他们要趁着夏季食物充盈时
They need to harvest the summer grasses

126
00:16:48,170 --> 00:16:50,220
尽量进食成长
while they're still rich with food.

127
00:16:58,380 --> 00:17:00,500
非洲稀树草原亦是如此
On the African savannah, too,

128
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:03,510
应季时草地生命丰富多彩
seasonal grasses are filled with life,

129
00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:05,360
但却不会持续太久
but it won't last long.

130
00:17:08,770 --> 00:17:12,170
红喉蜂虎是卓越的空中猎手
Carmine bee-eaters are superb aerial hunters,

131
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,600
十分擅长捕食飞行中的昆虫
experts at catching insects in midair.

132
00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:27,920
但它们无法将猎物赶出草丛
But they have no way of flushing their prey out of the grass.

133
00:17:37,950 --> 00:17:41,760
一旦警觉起来  大多数昆虫会静止不动
Once alarmed, most insects stay put.

134
00:17:44,550 --> 00:17:48,850
红喉蜂虎需要找帮手来捣乱
The bee-eaters need someone to stir things up a bit.

135
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,640
一只灰颈鹭鸨
A kori bustard.

136
00:18:00,290 --> 00:18:02,620
它是世界上体重最大的飞禽
It's the world's heaviest flying bird,

137
00:18:02,620 --> 00:18:05,990
凭它庞大的身躯  应该能轰出一些虫子
so it should be bulky enough to kick up some insects.

138
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:14,460
成功了
Bingo!

139
00:18:17,260 --> 00:18:19,560
直到有别的蜂虎加入
Until someone else comes along

140
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:22,620
打乱它的计划
and cramps your style.

141
00:18:28,180 --> 00:18:32,590
没关系  也许等会还有更好的机会
Never mind, perhaps there are bigger opportunities ahead.

142
00:18:35,420 --> 00:18:37,540
鸵鸟怎么样
What about an ostrich?

143
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,420
它们是体重最大的鸟类
The heaviest bird of all.

144
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,790
这次有足够的交通工具了
This time there's more than enough transport to go around.

145
00:19:00,630 --> 00:19:04,660
很快  几乎每只鸵鸟都有了自己的乘客
Soon, almost every ostrich has its own passenger.

146
00:19:12,330 --> 00:19:16,560
不过搭便车的也得意不了多久
But free riders are only tolerated for so long.

147
00:19:22,740 --> 00:19:24,670
蜂虎真正需要的
What the bee-eaters really need

148
00:19:24,670 --> 00:19:28,440
是体型大到根本注意不到它们的动物
is a creature so big it won't even notice them.

149
00:19:38,260 --> 00:19:40,890
非洲公象夷平草地之势
Nothing cuts a swathe through grass

150
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:43,540
没有动物能与之比肩
like an African bull elephant.

151
00:19:59,410 --> 00:20:03,880
诀窍是尽可能飞在这位"大块头"的近前方
The trick is to fly as close to the front of the giant as possible.

152
00:20:04,150 --> 00:20:07,870
想取得奖赏  必须在刹那间出手
They only have a split second to grab the prize.

153
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,600
越来越多昆虫被赶出来  竞争也愈发激烈
As more insects are stirred up, the competition intensifies.

154
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,700
夏天即将结束  储备食物的竞赛已然打响
With summer drawing to a close, the race to stock up is on.

155
00:20:52,770 --> 00:20:58,260
草很快就会枯萎  屯食良机转瞬即逝
Soon, the grass will wither, and this opportunity will have gone.

156
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:09,830
到了旱季
As the dry season takes hold,

157
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,310
地面的食物愈发稀缺
food becomes increasingly thin on the ground.

158
00:21:15,250 --> 00:21:19,160
只有在真正身怀绝技的草原捕猎者
Now, only the most specialised predators on the plains

159
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,500
才能维持生活
can make a living.

160
00:21:25,690 --> 00:21:30,690
她虽然形似猎豹  但这只猫并非短跑能手
She may be spotted like a cheetah, but this cat is no sprinter.

161
00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:49,040
相反  修长的四肢给予她独特的猎捕优势
Instead, she has extra-long legs which give her a high vantage point.

162
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:05,070
不过薮猫最主要的武器  是她雷达般的双耳
But a serval cat's main weapon are enormous radar ears.

163
00:22:08,890 --> 00:22:12,400
能精确定位草丛中猎物的藏身之处
They help her pinpoint prey hiding in the grass.

164
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,050
可是她的猎物十分机警
But the prey she seeks are canny.

165
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,250
非洲沟齿沼鼠
Southern vlei rats.

166
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:35,940
他们知道持续移动会暴露行踪
They know that any sustained movement can give them away.

167
00:22:41,150 --> 00:22:44,120
于是选择短距离爆冲
So they move in short bursts.

168
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:55,330
但是最细微的窸窣声也会被薮猫察觉
But even the slightest rustle will give her a clue.

169
00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:18,460
快找到了
Warm.

170
00:23:30,570 --> 00:23:31,750
更接近了
Warmer.

171
00:23:46,050 --> 00:23:47,140
没抓到
Missed.

172
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:09,840
形势好的时候  她一天能抓十只
In better times, she could catch 10 a day,

173
00:25:10,770 --> 00:25:15,590
但现在啮齿动物数量极少  她只能挨饿了
but now, with so few rodents around, she will have to go hungry.

174
00:25:17,770 --> 00:25:22,580
随着干旱加剧  草原生活更加艰难
As drought intensifies, life gets tougher for all.

175
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,830
定居于此的捕食者只能选择熬过去
Predators with permanent territories must tough it out,

176
00:25:33,460 --> 00:25:37,560
因为大部分猎物都已远去
while most of their prey disappear over the horizon.

177
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,140
为了抵御饥饿
To avoid starvation,

178
00:25:43,140 --> 00:25:47,500
草原动物大多随水草迁徙
many grassland animals follow a nomadic way of life.

179
00:25:49,410 --> 00:25:53,490
超过两百万头牛羚奔走在东非大草原
Over 2,000,000 wildebeests wander the East African savannahs

180
00:25:53,490 --> 00:25:55,390
追逐着雨水
chasing the rains.

181
00:26:08,940 --> 00:26:11,210
不过它们并不孤单
And they are not alone.

182
00:26:13,220 --> 00:26:14,840
展翅飞来这里
Arriving on the wing,

183
00:26:14,850 --> 00:26:18,710
杰氏巧织雀也在寻找鲜嫩的草
Jackson's Widowbirds also seek fresh grass.

184
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,250
然而  它们却不只是为食物而来
Although, it's not just food that they're after.

185
00:26:28,510 --> 00:26:30,810
这只雄鸟想求偶
This male wants a mate.

186
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:37,510
为此他已长出漂亮的繁殖羽
He's grown elaborate breeding plumage for this moment,

187
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,020
但他需要舞台来展现自我
but he needs a stage on which to show it off.

188
00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:48,540
细心挑选草茎
By carefully selecting grass blades,

189
00:26:48,540 --> 00:26:50,960
每一根修剪到合适的长度
each trimmed to the correct length,

190
00:26:51,050 --> 00:26:53,610
他正在进行非常独特的创作
he's creating something very special.

191
00:27:08,180 --> 00:27:10,850
他需要一块平地
He needs an even surface,

192
00:27:12,770 --> 00:27:14,420
和一个中央摆设
and a centre-piece.

193
00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:18,680
舞台已经布置好了
The stage is set.

194
00:27:19,570 --> 00:27:24,440
他的单身公寓干净整洁  很能吸引雌鸟
His bachelor pad is sufficiently neat and tidy to attract a female.

195
00:27:25,970 --> 00:27:27,370
问题是
The problem is,

196
00:27:27,570 --> 00:27:28,880
她能看到吗
can she see it?

197
00:27:32,610 --> 00:27:34,190
他还有竞争对手
He has competition.

198
00:27:44,090 --> 00:27:48,610
园艺设计可能不足以打动女士们
It might take more than a little gardening to impress the ladies.

199
00:27:50,780 --> 00:27:52,790
跳起来是个好办法
Jumping is the right idea,

200
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,560
但他低估了草的高度
but he's misjudged the height of the grass.

201
00:28:06,220 --> 00:28:08,430
他的对手显得很轻松
His rival makes it look easy.

202
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:33,920
他得加把劲了
Time to raise his game.

203
00:29:09,060 --> 00:29:11,430
不仅要看谁跳得高
It's not only who jumps the highest,

204
00:29:11,430 --> 00:29:14,170
还要看谁能跳得久
but who can keep doing so the longest.

205
00:29:22,820 --> 00:29:27,960
对手们无法坚持下去  相继退出竞争
Unable to go the distance, his rivals drop out one by one.

206
00:29:32,380 --> 00:29:35,840
他的耐力吸引了爱侣
Stamina has won him admirers,

207
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,290
现在可以展示他的求爱舞台了
now he can show off his courtship arena...

208
00:29:49,350 --> 00:29:53,300
再来一场浪漫的捉迷藏游戏
And engage in a little romantic hide-and-seek.

209
00:30:04,930 --> 00:30:07,960
他终于得偿所愿
Finally, he's done enough.

210
00:30:19,250 --> 00:30:23,900
东非大草原养育着成千上万的食草动物
The East African savannahs support millions of grazers.

211
00:30:24,750 --> 00:30:28,550
每年会吃掉数百万吨草
Each year they devour millions of tons of grass,

212
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:32,700
然而有一种生物
and yet there's one creature here

213
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:38,020
对草原造成的影响  远大于其他动物的总和
whose impact is far greater than all these animals combined.

214
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,040
地球上有草的地方  都有它们的踪影
They're found wherever grass grows on the planet,

215
00:30:45,380 --> 00:30:48,960
但它们的辛苦劳作几乎难以察觉
yet their labours go almost entirely unnoticed.

216
00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:56,380
其中最出色的
One of the most remarkable is found here

217
00:30:56,380 --> 00:30:59,150
出现在南美洲草原
on the grasslands of South America.

218
00:31:01,930 --> 00:31:04,080
这些叶片十分坚硬
These blades are so tough

219
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,900
几乎没有大型食草动物能消化得了
that virtually no large grass eaters can stomach them.

220
00:31:08,860 --> 00:31:12,890
然而却被小小的切叶蚁
Yet they're harvested on an industrial scale...

221
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:19,630
大规模采集
...by tiny grass cutter ants.

222
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,260
可它们根本无法消化叶片
But they themselves can't digest one bit of it.

223
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,680
那到底是为什么呢
So, why bother?

224
00:31:37,740 --> 00:31:40,480
答案在地下
The answer is underground,

225
00:31:42,270 --> 00:31:44,690
可谓别出心裁
and it's very ingenious.

226
00:31:49,010 --> 00:31:54,610
每根叶片都被切成一定长度  放入菌圃
Each blade is cut to length and placed into a garden of fungus.

227
00:31:59,300 --> 00:32:02,170
真菌以腐烂的叶片为食
The rotting grass feeds the fungus,

228
00:32:02,170 --> 00:32:06,060
而真菌又成为蚂蚁的食物
and in turn the fungus feeds the ants.

229
00:32:09,300 --> 00:32:14,090
养活五百万劳动者需要大规模的高效耕作
But feeding 5,000,000 workers requires intensive agriculture.

230
00:32:16,260 --> 00:32:19,780
幸好它们都很勤劳
Luckily, they are an industrious lot.

231
00:32:23,930 --> 00:32:29,220
仅这一个蚁群  每年就能收集五百多公斤草
This colony alone will collect over half a ton of grass every year.

232
00:32:33,030 --> 00:32:36,490
数十亿蚁群遍布全球草原
With billions of ant colonies across the world's grasslands

233
00:32:36,490 --> 00:32:38,940
都在做相同的事
all doing exactly the same thing,

234
00:32:39,100 --> 00:32:42,250
它们消耗的草数量惊人
that's a mind-boggling amount of grass.

235
00:33:10,170 --> 00:33:14,550
据估计  地球上超过三分之一的草
It's estimated that over one third of the grass that grows on Earth

236
00:33:14,580 --> 00:33:17,680
都会被这种昆虫采去
will be harvested by an insect.

237
00:33:23,330 --> 00:33:24,860
在澳大利亚北部
In northern Australia,

238
00:33:24,860 --> 00:33:29,480
白蚁辛勤的劳作体现在雕塑上
termites memorialise their industry in sculpture.

239
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,190
这些令人叹为观止的白蚁丘有三米高
These astonishing mounds are 10 feet tall.

240
00:33:40,850 --> 00:03:43,910
全部建成南北走向
They're always built on a north-south axis,

241
00:33:43,910 --> 00:33:47,600
因此它们的建筑者被称为罗盘白蚁
which is why their builders are called compass termites.

242
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,510
这些粘土造就的城堡
These castles of clay

243
00:34:02,510 --> 00:34:05,270
保护着它们的主人
protect their builders from extremes of heat

244
00:34:05,270 --> 00:34:09,510
不受草原酷暑和季节性洪水的伤害
and seasonal floods experienced on many grasslands.

245
00:34:20,690 --> 00:34:25,250
白蚁与大多数食草动物不同
Termites manage to do what most grass eaters can't,

246
00:34:26,060 --> 00:34:29,730
它们能分解枯草  提取养分
break down dead grass and extract the nutrients.

247
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,840
但也有动物能探进蚁穴将它们吃掉
But they themselves can be food for those that can reach them.

248
00:34:40,260 --> 00:34:42,000
六十厘米长的舌头
A two-foot-long tongue

249
00:34:43,570 --> 00:34:45,990
上面布满极小的钩子
covered in microscopic hooks,

250
00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:53,640
加之比迅猛龙还要长的爪子
followed by claws longer than those of a velociraptor.

251
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,200
这是一只生活在南美平原上的大食蚁兽
A giant anteater on the plains of South America.

252
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,140
它每天可以吞食两万只昆虫
It can devour 20,000 insects a day.

253
00:35:16,250 --> 00:35:21,660
有力的前肢让它们能够轻易地掰开白蚁巢
Powerful forelegs enable it to rip apart a termite hill with ease.

254
00:35:31,460 --> 00:35:36,820
太阳炙烤草原  白蚁面临着新的危险
And as the sun bakes the grass, the termites face new danger.

255
00:35:58,820 --> 00:36:03,060
几分钟内  大火就将草原化为灰烬
In minutes, fire turns grassland to ash.

256
00:36:16,610 --> 00:36:18,750
但是草不会被大火烧尽
But the grasses are not dead.

257
00:36:19,270 --> 00:36:22,580
它们的地下茎完好无损
Their underground stems are unharmed.

258
00:36:25,410 --> 00:36:28,100
数周  数月就这么过去了
Weeks, months may pass,

259
00:36:28,210 --> 00:36:30,950
但是雨季终将来临
but eventually the rains will return

260
00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:33,230
青草又会重新发芽
and the grass will sprout again.

261
00:36:40,140 --> 00:36:45,670
一些草原不仅要忍受火的炙烤  还有冰霜
Some grasslands must endure not only fire, but ice.

262
00:36:50,580 --> 00:36:52,220
冬季来临
As winter approaches,

263
00:36:52,220 --> 00:36:55,660
北美的草原开始霜冻
the prairies of North America begin to freeze.

264
00:37:11,310 --> 00:37:13,840
夏季  美洲野牛四处漫步
In summer, bison roamed freely,

265
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,760
享用着取之不尽的大片青草
almost continuously cropping the abundant green grass.

266
00:37:19,370 --> 00:37:22,530
现在青草不仅枯萎结冰
Now, that grass is not only withered and frozen,

267
00:37:22,910 --> 00:37:24,930
马上还会被大雪掩埋
it's about to be buried.

268
00:37:46,140 --> 00:37:51,240
六千万吨的积雪覆盖在野牛群的领地上
Sixty million tons of snow now blanket this herd's territory.

269
00:37:54,780 --> 00:37:57,950
在厚厚的积雪中行动非常耗费体力
Pushing through deep snow is exhausting work,

270
00:37:58,050 --> 00:38:01,030
美洲野牛越来越饥饿
and the bison are now slowly starving.

271
00:38:07,740 --> 00:38:11,350
仅仅保暖都需要耗费大量的能量
Just keeping warm saps huge amounts of energy.

272
00:38:17,270 --> 00:38:21,760
他们厚重的皮毛可耐受零下30度的低温
Their thick coats can insulate them down to minus 20 Fahrenheit.

273
00:38:22,430 --> 00:38:24,510
现在是零下40度
It's now minus 40.

274
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,040
唯一能让他们活下去的食物
The only thing that will keep them alive

275
00:38:30,220 --> 00:38:32,980
被深埋在一米深的积雪之下
is buried beneath three feet of snow.

276
00:38:37,710 --> 00:38:41,580
他们意想不到的邻居也面临着同样的问题
And that's a problem shared with a surprising neighbour.

277
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,990
狐狸在搜寻的食物也被深埋在积雪之下
The food the fox seeks is also deep beneath the snow.

278
00:39:15,090 --> 00:39:17,190
这两种生物能否生存下去
The survival of both creatures

279
00:39:17,190 --> 00:39:20,060
取决于能否挖到地面的食物
depends on getting through to the ground.

280
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,220
对于美洲野牛来说  用蛮力就可以做到
For the bison, it will be a matter of brute strength.

281
00:39:33,580 --> 00:39:38,720
强大的颈部肌肉让他们每天可以铲五吨的雪
Massive neck muscles enable them to shovel five tonnes of snow a day.

282
00:39:44,850 --> 00:39:48,060
他们小巧的邻居则需要更高的准头
Their light-weight neighbour needs more precision.

283
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,670
美洲野牛达到了目的
The bison have reached their goal,

284
00:40:17,980 --> 00:40:20,700
一大口枯草
a mouthful of withered grass.

285
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:29,050
在美洲野牛挖过的地方狐狸也见缝插针
And where the bison have dug, the fox now spots an opportunity.

286
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,170
每一步都至关重要
Every footstep counts,

287
00:40:42,630 --> 00:40:44,550
但是时机...
but he mustn't break through...

288
00:40:45,430 --> 00:40:46,370
还未到
Yet.

289
00:40:49,590 --> 00:40:53,370
他仔细监听着猎物的一举一动
He listens carefully to pinpoint his target.

290
00:40:58,720 --> 00:40:59,990
它在移动
It's moving.

291
00:41:21,390 --> 00:41:22,580
一只野鼠
A vole.

292
00:41:24,910 --> 00:41:28,180
虽然小  但是比一嘴干草的
Small, but 100 times more nutritious

293
00:41:28,180 --> 00:41:30,810
营养价值高上百倍
than a mouthful of dried grass.

294
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,540
想要在这草原上度过严冬
To get through the winter on these prairies,

295
00:41:39,540 --> 00:41:43,470
有时候脑子比蛮力更加重要
sometimes brain beats brawn.

296
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,730
最终  所有草原上的生物
Ultimately, life on all grasslands

297
00:41:52,730 --> 00:41:55,620
都依赖于季节的更迭
depends on the turn of the seasons.

298
00:42:20,850 --> 00:42:24,830
在树木生存极限八百公里以北的地方
Five hundred miles further north than any tree can survive,

299
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,240
青草春风吹又生
grass returns to life.

300
00:42:37,870 --> 00:42:41,320
雌性北美驯鹿远赴北方
Caribou females have journeyed to the far north

301
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,230
来此产仔
to calve.

302
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,580
超过七万只驯鹿幼崽
Over 70,000 caribou babies

303
00:42:49,580 --> 00:42:52,140
将在几天内出生
will be born in the next few days.

304
00:42:56,340 --> 00:42:57,980
小鹿出生的时候
As the calves appear,

305
00:42:57,980 --> 00:43:01,640
也正是青草发新芽的时候
so too do the leaves of the newly sprouting grass.

306
00:43:04,650 --> 00:43:07,070
幼鹿必须迅速增强体能
And the calves must strengthen quickly.

307
00:43:07,070 --> 00:43:10,410
几天内他们就将跟随自己的父母
Within days they will have to keep up with their parents

308
00:43:10,410 --> 00:43:12,790
踏上无尽的征程
on a never-ending march.

309
00:43:17,940 --> 00:43:22,630
第一天  他们的速度就已经超过人类短跑健将
At one day old, they're already faster than an Olympic sprinter.

310
00:43:23,740 --> 00:43:27,790
他们正在测试自己跋山涉水用的四肢
They're testing the legs that will carry them thousands of miles,

311
00:43:29,180 --> 00:43:31,700
最好现在就知道极限在哪里
better to learn their limitations now.

312

看起来很好玩  但草原上最艰苦的生活
It may look playful, but there's no harder life on the grasslands

正等着这些他们
than that facing these infants.

母驯鹿现在聚集起来
The caribou mothers now join together,

315
00:44:03,870 --> 00:44:07,360
每只都带着一只同样大小的幼鹿
each with an infant exactly the same age.

316

但是无论草食性动物走到哪里
But wherever grass eaters travel,

319
00:44:46,780 --> 00:44:49,210
都有捕食者等待着他们
predators lie in wait.

320
00:44:55,720 --> 00:45:00,060
就是他们  北极狼
Here they are, Arctic wolves.

321
00:45:06,710 --> 00:45:08,550
他们必须要在
They must seize their chance

322
00:45:08,550 --> 00:45:11,420
驯鹿经过领地时把握住机会
while the caribou pass through their territory.

323
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,130
北极狼跑向鹿群
The wolf runs at the herd,

324
00:45:49,130 --> 00:45:51,990
试图冲散群体中的弱者
trying to flush out the weak or the slow.

325
00:46:01,250 --> 00:46:03,220
一只幼鹿走散了
A calf is separated.

326
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,710
狼全力以赴捕猎的时速将近60公里
At full tilt, 40 miles an hour,

327
00:46:13,810 --> 00:46:15,850
只比小鹿快一点点
the wolf is just faster.

328
00:46:24,070 --> 00:46:26,710
但是幼鹿的耐力更好
But the calf has stamina.

329
00:46:56,110 --> 00:46:58,230
虽然只有几周大
Only a few weeks old,

330
00:46:58,230 --> 00:47:01,920
这只幼鹿的求生欲望让人叹为观止
and this calf's will to survive is remarkable.

而且必须如此
And it needs to be,

这些幼鹿开始了一场
for these young caribou have now started a journey

333
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,740
终其一生的旅程
that will last a lifetime.

334
00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:21,110
永远追寻着他们所需要的
Forever chasing the seasonal growth of the grass

335
00:47:21,110 --> 00:47:22,790
季节性生长的青草
on which they depend.

336
00:47:31,510 --> 00:47:34,660
和其他草原生物一样  他们依赖着
Like all grassland creatures, they are at the mercy

这变化莫测而又极其慷慨的大草原
of these unpredictable but ultimately bountiful lands.

青草可以在地球上最为极端的环境下生长
Grass can survive some of the harshest conditions on earth,

00:47:49,460 --> 00:47:54,110
经受洪水  火灾和冰霜的考验仍然生机盎然

00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,480
所以草原为地球上

我们必须带上全副武装的保卫员

从没想过会是懒熊

我们的传送器不见了

那边是不是有一点

都成了碎片

监控器又拍下了一名肇事者

是只母虎  看啊  一只母虎
There it's a tigress, see that. It's a tigress.

她冲着摄像机咆哮呢  看啊

她肯定不喜欢摄像机

要拍老虎了
Time to get the tiger.

471
00:56:02,250 --> 00:56:06,040
他只有一层薄薄的草做保护
He'll have no protection apart from a thin wall of grass,

472
00:56:06,050 --> 00:56:10,230
只能祈祷他隐藏得和当地的野生动物一样好
