从人类起源的那一天 For as long as humans have existed on Earth,
我们一直仰望奥妙的天空 we have looked to the heavens in wonder.
夜空中浩瀚的星辰 让仰望的人类惊叹不已 Fascinated by the countless stars in the night sky.
在这无限的宇宙中 But in all the unimaginable vastness of space,
有一颗与众不同的星球 we found only one place like this.
一颗小小的蓝色星球 身边还绕行着一颗山川崎岖的月球 It's a small blue planet, with a rocky moon.
它围绕太阳旋转 Travelling around a star.
和太阳的距离刚好获得足够的能量 It's just close enough to be fed by its sun's energy,
又不会被它的烈焰吞噬 but not blasted by its heat.
它自身的运转 It spins on its axis,
使它半天沐浴阳光 so that for half a day its surface basks in light,
半天享受阴凉 then for half it cools in shade.
也许你会说 这是一颗幸运的星球 You might say, it's the lucky planet.
因为在这光影轮回的律动中 Because its rhythm of light and shade,
呈现并且孕育了生命本身 turns out to be a vital ingredient, for life itself.
地球 我们的家园 Earth, our home.
迄今为止 我们所知道的地球是独一无二的 As far as we know, our planet is unique.
而地球上的每一天 As far as we know,
也都是宇宙中无与伦比的一天 one day spent here is the most amazing thing in the whole universe.
地球神奇的一天 影音转码&字幕校对：®沐亲王®SamKing.Lee@ZMK.PW
是地球与太阳的共舞 The magical dance of Earth and Sun,
孕育了地球上的千万种动物 has created millions of different kinds of plants and animals,
和植物 alive on our Earth today.
有些很常见 Some, you see every day.
有些却是稀世珍宝 Others, are very rare.
但所有的生命都有一个共同点 But, we all have one thing in common.
是日夜更替 点亮了万物生灵的生命之光 Our lives are driven by the rhythm of night and day.
清晨的第一缕阳光 我们用各自的方式回应 One hint of morning sunlight...
一些小家伙迫不及待 Some animals need it.
一些避之不及 Others, hide from it.
大多数都为之欣喜 Most of us, love it.
更有些用歌声迎接它的到来 Some, even greet it with song.
无论我们如何迎接它 Whatever way we choose to meet it,
日出都是驱动整个世界的原力 sunrise is the power that brings our world to life.
非洲 Africa.
在这里 清晨的时间不仅属于早起者 Here, the first hours of the day belong not just to those who rise early,
也同样属于那些刷夜的家伙 but to those who stayed up late.
这只薮猫忙了一整夜 This serval has been hunting during the night.
还想再碰碰运气 But now he's pushing his luck.
它夜出捕食 就是为了最后再饱餐一顿 He's out late, trying for a final mouthful.
在非洲大草原上 His high jumping technique is perfect,
它的跳高技术最适合在草丛打猎 for hunting amongst the long grass of the African savanna.
它在寻找猎物 但大部分情况下是在聆听猎物 He's looking for prey, but mostly listening for it.
它这双大耳朵连根针掉在地下 都听得一清二楚 His enormous radar ears can hear a pin drop.
更不用说非洲南部沼鼠不小心发出的 脚步声了 Or a careless step from a southern vlei rat.
好吧 太阳已经升起来了 洗洗睡吧 Now the sunlight's growing stronger, maybe it's time for bed.
在地球另一边的太平洋深处 有一片隐蔽的群岛 On the other side of the world, on an isolated group of Pacific islands,
岛上生活着一种动物 它们在早晨一动都不能动 there are animals who can't even think about running around so early in the day.
在阳光赐予它们能量之前 它们只会这么傻傻地待着 They can't do anything until they've been warmed up by the Sun's power.
加拉帕格斯群岛上 居住着一些地球上最奇特的动物 The Galapagos islands are home for some of the most unusual animals on Earth.
海鬣蜥 Marine iguana.
每天清晨 它们都会进行很庄严的仪式 Their morning ritual is always the same.
当阳光照耀在它们的岛国 As the sun comes up on their island home,
它们便簇拥在礁石上 they simply sprawl on the rocks,
开始享受日光浴 lapping it up.
爬行动物差不多都靠太阳来充电 Reptiles are pretty much solar-powered.
在太阳把它们晒暖之前 它们一动都不能动 They need the sun's heat, before they can move a muscle.
可是它们并不是岛上 唯一需要日光浴的动物 And they're not the only creatures soaking up the sun.
加拉帕戈斯锦蛇从体型上看 并不足以去招惹成年的海鬣蜥 Galapagos racer snakes aren't big enough to trouble an adult iguana.
如果是个小家伙呢 But, something smaller?
在岩石边的沙滩里 Away from the rocks where grown-ups live, buried in the sand,
鬣蜥宝宝们正在被孵化着 baby iguanas have been incubating underground...
它们被埋在沙子下面已经三个多月了 for over three months.
今天 等沙子被太阳晒热 Today when the Sun has warmed the sand,
它们就要诞生了 they will emerge.
此刻 这个小家伙钻出蛋壳 It's time for this one, to crawl out into the rest of life.
如果动身过早 太阳还没给它充足电 If she starts too early, before she's warm enough,
它就跑不快 she won't have the energy to run very fast.
要是动身太晚 它的天敌可就能量满满了 If she leaves too late, then her enemies may be supercharged.
这是它一生之中最重要的选择 It's the biggest decision she'll ever make.
生死攸关 She made it.
钧蛇错过了哺食的机会 The snakes missed their chance.
不过还有好多海鬣蜥宝宝正在孵化 But more babies are hatching.
锦蛇此时更加警觉了 And now the snakes are on alert.
它们绝不会错过这一年中 最佳的饱餐机会 It's the best opportunity they will get to eat all year.
在平地上 一只刚出生的小鬣蜥比锦蛇跑得快 On flat ground a baby iguana can outrun a racer snake.
但锦蛇正准备着打伏击 But, others are waiting in ambush.
这个小宝宝第一眼看到的 就是危机四伏的世界 Another hatchling has his first glimpse of a dangerous world.
蛇的眼睛不好 The snake's eyes aren't very good,
但是它们能侦测到运动 but they can detect movement.
如果鬣蜥宝宝淡定 也许能躲过这一劫 So, if the hatchling keeps its nerve, it may just be okay.
一场精彩大逃亡 An amazing escape.
任何年幼生命的最大成就 The biggest achievement of any young animal's life.
都依赖于我们临近的恒星 所赎予的能量 Powered by our local star.
临近中午 Mid-morning.
随着太阳的升起 阳光所及之处 As the Sun climbs higher, its rays reach further.
皆有妙不可言的奇观 Bringing magic wherever they touch.
植物从阳光中幻化出生命 Plants turn the light into life.
它们将稀薄的空气和太阳的能量 通过光合作用孕育出新的生长 They take thin air and the Sun's energy and with photosynthesis make new growth.
将能里在一片片绿叶中聚合 使整个森林开始生长 Conjuring up tangled forest worlds, leaf by leaf.
万物生灵皆仰仗这神奇的魔法 It's the alchemy upon which everything else on Earth depends.
它关乎一切物种的生存 A matter of life,
和毁灭 and death.
有一种植物在一天之内 将这魔法用到极致 One plant can weave its particular spell in a single day.
这是竹子 This is bamboo.
它一分钟就长高约0.1厘米 It can grow almost a millimetre a minute.
它们是地球上长得最快的植物 The fastest growing plant in the world.
现在仍然还是上午 It's still only mid-morning.
它们从天亮前已经开始生长 Most of this has grown since dawn.
也是从天亮开始 这只大熊猫就在吃竹子了 And since dawn, this giant panda has been eating it.
问题是竹子并没有什么营养 The trouble with bamboo, is that it's not very nutritious.
可大熊猫呢又太挑食了 The trouble with pandas, is that they're very fussy.
它们最爱吃的几乎只有竹子 Bamboo is almost the only thing they'll eat.
为了得到足够的能量 To get enough energy to feed herself,
大熊猫今天要啃14个小时的竹子 this panda will need to eat up to 14 hours today.
也许时间更长 因为它还得给熊猫宝宝哺乳 Longer probably, because she's nursing.
不过熊猫宝宝就不同了 But for her cub, it's different.
它还在吃妈妈的奶 竹子嘛 它只是嚼着玩玩 She lives mostly on her mother's milk, so chewing is only really her hobby.
根本不是什么主业 Not yet a full-time job.
这个小家伙今天早上拥有了动物界 珍贵的东西 This morning, she has something rare in the natural world.
闲暇时光 Time to spare.
世界这么大 宝宝要出去看看了 And, to explore.
因为生活方式太独特 Because of their specialised way of life,
大熊猫绝对是地球上 最稀有的动物之一 giant pandas are amongst the rarest animals in the world.
这只熊猫宝宝更是稀有中的稀有 Cubs like her are more precious still.
全世界仅有几百只 There are only a few hundred alive.
一只稀有的动物 A rare animal with the rarest luxury.
享受着奢侈的闲暇时光 Time.
上午的阳光越来越强 As the morning sun grows in strength,
另一种魔法开始发挥威力 it begins to brew a spell of a different kind.
太阳把热能灌进大气层将其加热 The Sun is pouring energy into our atmosphere, heating it up.
陆地上和海洋里的水分不断被蒸发 It evaporates water from land and sea,
凝结成云彩 and builds clouds.
在非洲 云彩总是在旅行 天气也在不断变化 Across Africa, clouds and weather are constantly on the move,
把雨水和肥美的草地 在不同的时间里带到不同的地方 bringing rain and fresh grass to different places at different times.
每天上午 数以百万的动物开始长征 For millions of animals, the job of every morning is to move
前往下一个下雨的地方 那里将会水草丰美 to where the rain will make the grass grow next.
无论路有多难走 Whatever stands in their way.
这个上午 This morning,
迁徙给小斑马出了个大难题 the need to keep moving will present a particular challenge for one young zebra.
这只斑马宝宝出生后不到 一小时就能走路 This foal could walk less than an hour after birth.
其他的活动也没有问题 She can handle almost anything.
不过它可还没有遇到过这样的困难 But she's never faced an obstacle like this.
高原的雨水让河水猛涨 水流凶猛而湍急 Swollen by highland rain, the river is fast and furious.
水里危机四伏 And full of dangers.
如果没有妈妈的帮助 The young zebra is going to need every bit of her mother's help,
小斑马是完全不知所措 if she's going to make it.
最可怕的并不是这些猛兽 It turns out the biggest threat isn't attack by other animals,
而是眼前湍急的河水 it's the river itself.
斑马妈妈想把斑马宝宝 带到河水最浅的地方 Her mother tries to lead the foal to the shallowest waters,
可是它太小了 but she's just too small.
激流又太凶猛 And the current's just too strong.
小斑马的体力就快消耗殆尽 The foal is on the verge of exhaustion,
斑马妈妈不肯放弃 but her mother will not give up.
其它的同伴都离开了 斑马妈妈 却留在河边不停地给小斑马加油 While others are escaping, she calls for her foal to keep going.
终于 它做到了 And finally, a way out.
非洲有句谚语一人走得快 There is a saying in Africa, "If you wanna go quickly, go alone.
众人走得远 If you wanna go far, go together."
有过这次的经验 After this,
再也没有什么能难住小斑马和妈妈了 the zebra foal and her mother can surely handle anything the day throws at them.
太阳正在接近它的最高点 也是它最强的时刻 The Sun is approaching its highest and most powerful.
在遥远的北极 In the far north, in the Arctic,
陆地和海洋被冰川封锁了数月之久 ice has held land and ocean in its grip for months.
极点附近的阳光 比地球上任何地方都弱 The Sun near the poles is always lower and weaker than anywhere else.
即便如此 太阳依然能施展它的威力 But still, its energy will transform.
独角鲸 Narwhal.
是地球上最神秘的动物之一 One of the most mysterious animals on the planet.
现在它们还无法远游 For the moment they can't travel far,
冰层上的裂缝只允许它们浮上水面 吸几口新鲜空气 only small openings in the ice allow them to surface and breathe.
然而太阳的能量正在解救它们 But the power of the Sun is coming to their rescue.
许多天来 For many days
阳光持续啃噬着陆地和海面上的坚冰 the Sun's heat has been gnawing away at the ice's hold on sea and land.
现在太阳到达了最高最强的时刻 发起了最后胜利的总攻 Now, approaching its highest and strongest, the Sun begins to triumph.
在这场与热量的战斗中 冰层开始溃败了 And the battle of heat against cold, becomes a rout.
大地复苏 江河再次奔流 On land, rivers flow again.
海洋上的冰层开始消融 In the oceans, where the ice is now weak,
阳光的热能终于使它龟裂 the Sun's warmth, opens cracks.
而裂缝又被拓宽成渠道 And the cracks become channels.
水路纵横相连 独角鲸们总算能 开心地漫游在它们的冰雪王国了 Roadways along, which the narwhal can traverse their icy kingdom.
因纽特人有个传说 从前 独角鲸是一位勇敢的女猎手 In Inuit legend, the first narwhal was a brave female hunter.
在跟鲸垂死扭打的时候 Caught up in a deadly embrace with a whale she hunted,
她的发辫甩了出去 拧成了独角鲸的利角 Her braided hair flung out, becoming the twisted tusk.
对于这些独角鲸来说 这是多么神奇的一天 For these narwhal, what an amazing day.
独角鲸们重获自由 畅游在海洋的怀抱中 They are free again, to roam their ocean home.
越往南走 太阳的能量就越发强烈 The strength of the Sun becomes greater and greater, the further south you go.
在北美洲的山上 In the mountains of North America,
春天的阳光给刚刚解冻的大地 带来了生机 the sunlight of a spring day, brings the freshly thawed world to life.
如果你还穿着过冬的大衣 If you're still wearing your winter coat,
中午的温度可没这么舒服了 the heat during the middle-of-the-day can get a bit uncomfortable.
你得找一裸大树 然后在树干上好好地蹭蹭痒 You need to find a tree and give yourself a good scratch.
蹭树皮不光只是止痒 Rubbing against the bark not only gets to the itch,
还能脱掉身上的过冬毛衣 it helps a hot bear shed its winter fur.
蹭蹭以后呢 还能在这片领地上 留下一点你自己的味道 It's also a chance to mark the territory with your personal scent.
让别人知道这是自己的地盘 So everyone knows exactly who's in town.
正午时分 It's now midday,
大地正感受着 我们邻居星球最高的能量 and the world feels the full force of our friendly neighbourhood star.
太阳到达一天中的最高点 The sun is now at its highest in the sky.
阳光甚至能透进 地球表面最深的褶皱里 Its light penetrates even the deep hidden folds of the Earth.
在非洲接近赤道的地方 太阳的神力把这里烤得像火炉一样 In Africa, near the equator, its energy creates a furnace.
小斑马和马群还需要继续地跋涉 This zebra foal and her herd still need to move on.
在如此猛烈的阳光下 每前进一步都是挣扎 But every step is tough in heat like this.
每一片树荫… Any scrap of shade...
都是绿洲天堂 is an oasis.
在所有阳光的照射下 狩猎者很容易发现兽群 In full sunlight, the herd are easy for hunters to see.
但正午的太阳也会带来一种赐福 But there is one blessing about the midday sun.
对于狮子狩猎来说简直太热了 It's simply too hot for lions to hunt.
但是在这样的酷热里 There is something, however, that doesn't take a break,
仍然有某些活动依然照旧仍然有某些活动依然照旧 even in the heat of the day.
那就是争夺权利 The struggle for power.
为了获得生存的领地和雌性的青睐 Rivalry between males for territory and for the attentions of females
好战是雄性最强大的基因 能让最温和的动物展开生死决斗 is so overpowering, it drives even the most placid of creatures to combat.
在沙漠酷热的正午 At high noon in the desert heat,
一只年轻的雄性长颈鹿 向旧领主发起挑战 它要争夺领地 a young male giraffe is challenging the resident bull for prime territory
当然还有这里的雌性长颈鹿 and the females that go with it.
一开始 它们互相撞击身体 试图吓退对方 At first they just push and shove, trying to intimidate each other.
一般来说 对决也就到此为止了 Normally, this would be an end to it,
但今天发起挑战的小伙子信心十足 再一次发起攻击 but the young rival seems to think he has a chance and attacks.
双方互不相让 Neither will back down.
旧领主被打倒了 The old bull is down.
它知道致命一击的时刻来临了 He knows the final blow is coming.
它躲了过去… So, he ducks...
并发动反击 and hits back.
决斗结束了 It is over.
王还是那个王 The day still belongs to the old master.
而失败者被放逐进茫茫的沙漠 For the loser, it's exile in the desert.
正午的烈日 炙烤着大地和这里所有的生命 The land and the creatures that live on it, toast under the noonday sun.
就算现在 地球上还是能 找得到一处凉爽的栖居之地 But one habitat remains cool, even now.
此时的阳光已经是一天中最强的了 Over the course of a single day, even the enormous power of the Sun,
但也奈何不了辽阔的海洋 isn't strong enough to warm the great oceans by much.
世界上体积最大的生物之一 就住在这里 Here, some of the largest creatures on Earth,
它们的生命跟我们人类一样长 或许也一样复杂 live lives as long, and perhaps as complex, as our own.
这是抹香鲸一家 This is a family of sperm whales.
在这一大家子中间 还有一只难得一见的 And at its heart, a rare sight.
小鲸宝宝 A calf.
别看小鲸宝宝已经四米多长了 可它才一岁多 Already 15ft long, she's about a year old,
而且是一个十足好奇的小宝宝 and very inquisitive.
在两三岁之前 它只吃母乳 For two or three years, she will feed on her mother's milk.
妈妈的乳汁饱含脂肪 稠得像奶酪一样 It's so rich in fat, it has the consistency of cottage cheese.
能够一口吞下 在海水里也不会溶解 So it doesn't dissolve in the sea water as it's being gulped down.
鲸类是地球上存在过的最大的猎手 The great whales are the biggest predators that have ever existed,
但这些大块头 对自己的孩子却是百般地呵护 yet, they make the most protective parents.
而且十分健谈 And very talkative ones,
用一种卡嗒卡嗒的语言交谈 chatting in a language of clicks.
它们是地球上叫声最响亮的动物 They're the loudest creatures on the planet,
它们的声音吵的时候 比飞机引擎还要响 capable of sounds, far louder than a jet engine.
但此刻 它们该是安静的时候了 But right now, it's time for silence.
抹香鲸一家垂直悬在大海中… Hanging vertically, the giants of the sea...
享受它们的午休时间 take an afternoon nap.
抹香鲸大脑的体积是 现存动物中最大的 These whales have brains larger than any other animal.
谁能想象 它们的梦里有什么丰富的内容呢 Who can guess with what richness they dream away the day.
在热带 中午的高温 一直到下午都不会消散的 In the tropics, the oppressive heat of midday lingers well into the afternoon.
在中美洲 一座临近巴拿马的小岛上 On a tiny island, off the coast of Panama, in Central America,
生活的节奏十分缓慢 everything takes life slowly.
一只三趾树懒 A pygmy three-toed sloth.
正处在它最佳的树懒状态 At his best, he is slothful.
在每天这个时候 它十分的无精打采 At this time of day, he's pretty much comatose.
只有一种声音能让它兴奋起来 Only one thing might rouse him.
就是这个… And it's this...
来自某个地方的树懒姑娘的情歌 The call of the female sloth, out there somewhere.
涨潮了 索性抄个近道 And since it's high tide, why not take the short cut.
唯一的问题是这里太低了 The only problem is from down here,
要找那个唱情歌的树懒姑娘 可够难的 it's not easy to tell where the potential mate is calling from.
不会就是它吧 Could this be her?
不幸的是 这位可没功夫谈恋爱了 Sadly for him, this female is not looking for a date.
它都有孩子了 是一个快乐的单亲妈妈 While she's nursing her cub, she's quite happy to stay single.
他们说明天吧 因为总会有明天的 As they say, "mañana." There's always tomorrow.
尽管岛屿上的生活悠闲缓慢 Though island life here moves slowly,
但在地球的另一边 下午的节奏就完全不同了 the pace of the afternoon is very different in other parts of the world.
这是南极洲的扎沃多夫斯基岛 This is Zavodovski island in Antarctica,
一百五十多万只的帽带企鹅 在这里安家落户 home for 1. 5 million chinstrap penguins.
这是一个奇特的地方 It's an extraordinary place.
岛中心的活火山喷出的岩桨 凝固成一片裸露的岩壁 An outcrop of rock, spewed out by the volcano at its heart.
海浪昼夜不停地拍打着岩壁 The oceans beat against it night and day.
企鹅们遭受到重重的困难 And the penguins are caught in the crossfire.
每天企鹅们都在与海浪奋战 All day, the adult penguins struggle against the waves
往返于家中与它们捕食的海域 as they journey between home and their hunting grounds, offshore.
这是它们无法避免的考验 It's an ordeal they can't avoid.
自己的家人完全依靠着它们 Their families depend on them.
没有爸爸妈妈的照顾 Chinstrap penguin chicks are completely helpless,
这些小宝贝们毫无生存的能力 without the support of both mother and father.
每天 小企鹅都需要新鲜的食物 They need fresh food every day.
于是父母要轮流去海里捕鱼 And their parents take turns to fetch it.
这意味着对于众多的父母来说 It means an awful lot of hunting...
需要进行大量的捕食 ...for an awful lot of moms and dads.
这只企鹅妈妈 已经没有食物喂它的宝宝了 This mother has no food left to feed her chicks.
它们只能期盼着企鹅爸爸 They now need their father to return,
能早日归来 and soon.
下午时分 At mid-afternoon,
清早出海的捕猎者们回来了 the first wave of hunters, who left early this morning, return.
这只企鹅宝宝的爸爸 就是其中的一个 Amongst them is the chick's father.
这天它出海八十多公里去捕鱼 好在它就快要到家了 He's been fishing 50 miles offshore, but now he's not far away.
安全下海已经很不容易 要安全地上岸就更加困难了 If getting safely into the water was difficult, getting out is even harder.
它只能用它小小的爪子 死死抓住岩石上一切可以抓住的地方 Tiny claws help them to get whatever grip he can on the rough water.
企鹅爸爸现在还要走3公里 才能回到母子身边 The father now has a two mile walk to his family.
肚子里装满了食物 这不会影响到它 And a stomach loaded with food, doesn't help.
这是地球上最大的企鹅栖息地 This is the largest penguin colony on Earth.
它每隔一天就要跑一趟 But, as he makes the same journey every other day,
闭着眼睛都不会摔跤 he should be able to do it with his eyes closed.
至少 在大部分时间里 At least, most of the time.
就像上下班高峰 这个岛上会变得有一些拥堵 Like any commute, it can get a little congested.
有时很难记得把孩子安顿在哪里 And sometimes, it can be hard to remember where you parked your kids.
企鹅妈妈还在等待 它的小宝宝已经绝望了 The mother is still waiting, the chicks are now desperate.
在震耳欲聋的企鹅叫声中 爸爸竟然 能辨认出企鹅妈妈独特的呼唤 In the midst of all this deafening chorus, he can recognise her particular cry.
绝对是万里挑一 She is, literally, one in a million.
这么摇着头 是企鹅妈妈说:欢迎回家 A head bob, is the penguin's way of saying, "Welcome home."
小宝贝们将会有食物吃了 Both chicks will get a meal.
地球上最艰难的上下班往返 有了一个幸福的结局 A happy end to the toughest commute on Earth.
下午时分 在厄瓜多尔的热带雨林里 Mid-afternoon in the rainforests of Ecuador.
空气在热量中蒸发 The air steams in the heat.
在这里 太阳和植物 共同创造出独特的气候 Here, the Sun and plants conspire to create their own unique weather.
而且每天几乎都一样 And is the same practically every day.
今天下午 变化的气候 竟然出人意料地帮助了 This afternoon, that's going to help one of its smallest
住在这里最小 也是最美丽的居民之一 and most beautiful inhabitants in a surprising way.
盘尾蜂鸟的大小跟你的拇指差不多大 The racket-tailed hummingbird is about the size of your thumb.
飞得如此优雅要燃烧很多热量 It takes a lot of energy to look this graceful.
这意味着蜂鸟几乎永远都饿肚子的 That means it's living in a perpetual state of near starvation.
实际上 它每天都需要采蜜超过一千次 In fact, its metabolism is so fast, it needs to fuel up on nectar,
才能维持这么快的新陈代谢 over a thousand times a day.
它一刻不停地吃 It can't stop feeding for a moment.
每天都在跟时间赛跑 All day is a race against time.
盘尾蜂鸟并不是 森林花丛里唯一采蜜的生物 The racket-tail isn't the only one hunting for nectar in the forest flowers.
蜜蜂也是以花蜜为生 它们可不喜欢跟人家分享 Bees are too, and they don't like to share.
蜜蜂如果蜇到蜂鸟的心脏 蜂鸟可能会丧命 A single bee sting, close to the bird's heart, could be fatal.
但是时间帮助了蜂鸟 But time, is on the racket-tail's side.
大雨加入了战斗 Rain is about to intervene.
午后太阳的热能积聚了大片乌云 The heat of the afternoon sun, has built massive thunder clouds.
等到云承不住水珠的重量时 就大雨倾盆了 And when they can no longer hold their burden, they break.
森林上方大雨如注 Above the canopy, the rain is torrential.
但落到层层叠叠里的枝叶下边 就变成了小雨滴 Under the shelter of layers of leaves, the deluge is reduced to drips.
雨滴与蜂鸟的头一样大 可能不会给蜂鸟带来多大乐趣 A raindrop as big as its head, may not be much fun for a hummingbird.
但对于蜜蜂来说就太大了 But it's altogether too much, for a bee.
对食物的竞争仍将继续 The race to eat, continues.
世界上所有的小动物都会 在夜晚来临前储藏好了一大堆食物 All over the world, tiny creatures are on a mission to stock up before night.
在一片欧洲的草原上 草丛里隐藏着大量的食物 In a European meadow, there's a great deal of food hidden in the plants.
就看你能不能找得到 For those who can reach it.
天色渐暗 As the day begins to fade,
这只小巢鼠必须找到更多的粮食 this tiny harvest mouse, must gather as much fuel as possible.
它最爱吃的种子和果实 Her best chance for a good dinner,
都长在最高的枝头上 are the seeds and fruit, at the tips of the tallest stalks.
但在它的小小世界里 那是最危险的地方 But, it's the most dangerous part, of her tiny world.
谷仓猫头鹰是一位夜间捕猎者 A barn owl, is a night-time hunter.
但这只猫头鹰起得这么早 But this one has woken early.
肯定是饿了 And hungry.
对一个习惯高空行走的巢鼠来说 地面简直就像一个完全陌生的星球 The world at ground-level is bewildering for a mouse used to the high life.
但是繁杂的枝叶在它脑中 就像一幅地图 But she can read the pattern of the stems overhead, like a map.
这样还算不错 因为它需要这幅地图 Which is just as well, because back home...
以返回家中 she's needed.
日光渐渐沉落 The light is dying.
而新生命正在孕育 But new life is being born.
一只蜉蝣曼妙而出 A mayfly emerges.
它的生命只有一天 It will live for just this day.
但如果行动得不够快 恐怕连一天都没有了 Or less, if it doesn't move fast enough.
当生命如此脆弱的时候… When life is as perilous as this...
大自然自有它的安排 以数量取胜 nature finds safety in numbers.
在匈牙利的蒂萨河中 This hatch, on the Tisza River in Hungary,
这种孵化的场景 是地球上最壮美的奇观 is one of the world's great wildlife spectacles.
虫蛹在河底沉睡了三年 Having spent three years as nymphs in the river,
仅在这段河中 up to five million of these remarkable insects emerge together,
就有超过五百万只蜉蝣出现 on just this stretch of water alone.
它们不用进食 甚至没有嘴巴 They'll never feed. They don't even have mouths.
刚一孵化 它们就开始了盛大的求偶舞会 Instead, as soon as they hatch, they begin a Vast glittering mating dance.
地球上的每一天都无比奇妙 Every day on Earth is amazing.
而蜉蝣的一天更是精彩绝伦 But surely the mayfly's day, is one of the most amazing of all.
夜幕降临 蜉蝣走完相遇 交配 产卵和死亡的一生 By nightfall, they will have met, mated, laid their eggs, and died.
它们将未来托付给下一代 The future entrusted to the next generation.
蜉蝣的一生只有几个小时而已 Their entire adult life will be spent in just a few hours of a single day.
此刻 白昼正在迅速地被黑夜取代 Day, is now spinning swiftly, towards night.
太阳离地平线越来越近 The Sun slips, ever lower in the sky.
这是一天中最美丽… It is a time of great beauty...
但又最危险的时刻 and grave danger.
在清凉的黄昏的阴影里 是猎手们最佳的捕猎机会 In the cool evening shadows, is the best time to be a predator,
也是对猎物们最不利的时候 and the worst time to be prey.
对小斑马和它的妈妈来说 这绝对是一天中最危险的时刻 For a zebra and her foal, this is the most dangerous time of the day.
一只猎的已经盯上了小斑马 A cheetah has his eye on the foal.
有时候 母爱是战胜一切的力量 Sometimes a mother's love...
白天正在渐渐退去 黑夜接管着大地 As the day fades, the shadow world is taking over.
在中国广西部的广州山区 In the Changzhou mountains, in Southwest China,
地球慢慢背向太阳 the world is turning its face away from its nurturing star,
转向空虚寒冷的空间 towards the chilly emptiness of space.
住在这里的白头叶猴正在抓紧机会 吃一天中的最后一餐 Here, white-headed langurs are taking their last meal of the day.

甚至比大熊猫还要珍稀 Rarer, even than the giant panda.
但是当天黑时 没有地方可以逗留了 But when daylight disappears, this is no place to linger.
它们遵守着古老而强大的本能 They are obeying an ancient and overpowering instinct.
随着阴影越来越长 它们向高处攀登 去安全的地方投宿 With the lengthening of the shadows, they scramble for height and refuge.

它们立刻变成残忍的杀手 they're transformed into hunters working in packs.
在黑暗中 它们的视力并不好 In the gloom, the shark's eyesight is poor.

光亮其实就是来自真菌本身 The glow comes from the fungus itself.
不明就里的磕头虫找来找去 还是不见爱人的影子 Puzzled, he searches everywhere.

也不再需要害怕日落 We no longer need to be afraid of the dark.
在我们的城市中 我们创造了我们自己的电气白昼 In our cities, we've created an endless electrical daylight of our own.
我们打破了了日夜轮替的规律 We've broken away from the rhythm of night and day.
越来越多的人开始这样生活 As more and more of us live this way,
这样很容易让我们忘记了 与自然世界的联系 it's easy for us to forget our connexion to the natural world.

所以也没有任何地方… Nothing more extraordinary...
比我们生活的地球更独一无二 than planet Earth.
也没有什么比保护 我们唯一的地球家园更重要的了 Nothing more important to protect than our one and only home.
没有任何事物 比这里每一天发生的一切更值得惊叹 And nothing more amazing than what happens here, day after day.
