大西洋：地球最狂野的海洋（2015）

Manatees head deep into
the mangroves during hurricanes
它们知道那里会很安全
knowing they will find safety.
树林像一片生物缓冲区
The trees act like a living crumple zone.
这些树根比任何海堤 都更善于驱散这种破坏性的能量
The roots dissipate the destructive energy
better than any seawall.
它们能平息风浪 驯服波涛
They calm the waves and tame the surge.
红树林是加勒比海的风暴避难所
The mangroves are the Caribbean's storm shelter.
树根成了鱼的“托儿所”
The roots protect the precious fish nurseries.
在这之后 它们减缓了水流
and in the aftermath,
they slow the moving water
让淤泥得以沉积 水体变得清澈
allowing sediments to settle
and the waters to cIear.
红树林能抵御飓风的破坏
The mangroves don't just
protect against hurricanes.
但它们也会从中受益
They can also benefit from them.
风暴带来的大浪把红树的幼苗冲散开
The storm surge disperses
mangrove seedlings far and wide.
这些树苗会在树林里生根成长
And these will take root in
clearings in the forest.
热带大西洋的避难所会继续扩张
A sanctuary for the tropical Atlantic
will continue to grow.
在珊瑚礁内 飓风把能量从这个超负荷运转的系统内释放出来
Out on the reef, hurricanes take the energy
out of the overloaded system.
一些珊瑚因此被摧毁 但暴雨使得海水冷却
Some corals are damaged,
but the torrentiaI rain cools the waters.
珊瑚会重新获得海藻
The corals will take back their algae.
珊瑚礁再次繁荣
The reef will thrive again.
在巴哈马 飓风可以摧毁海豚族群
Off the Bahamas, hurricanes have been known
to devastate dolphin groups.
一头落单的小海豚生存的唯一方式
The only way a stranded calf will survive
就是重新加入一个族群
is to reunite with the group.
自然总有办法触底反弹
Nature has a way of bouncing back.
在失去又在的族群内
In groups that do lose calves
科学家发现 雌性回到发♥情♥期的时间比平常更快
scientists have found that females
come back into oestrus more quickly than usual.
这会带来生育潮
The result, is a baby boom.
这是巩固族群关系的好时机
It's time for the group to reinforce all bonds.
热带大西洋中的生命重新焕发生机
Life in the tropical Atlantic
resumes where it left off.
暂时 这里一片祥和
For now, all is calm in paradise.
但很快 热量会再次聚集
but soon, the heat will build,
once again.
太阳为生命带来了机遇 然而它也能带来毁灭
The sun creates opportunities for life,
yet it can also bring destruction.
生命必须学会在天堂和地狱中生存
All living things here must learn
to survive both heaven and hell
这两种截然相反的巨大力量
the vast opposing forces
of this extraordinary ocean. . . .
都产生于大西洋这片极不寻常的大洋中
. . .the Atlantic.
在阳光下 温暖的加勒比浅海满是生命
The warm, sun drenched shallows
of the Caribbean Sea are teeming with life.
大西洋团队在水下拍摄超过三百个小时
The Atlantic team spent more than
three hundred hours underwater
横跨整个加勒比海
all across the Caribbean
见识了一些非常特殊的动物
and met some very special animals.
从伯利兹宁静的潟湖
From the tranquil lagoons of Belize. . .
到巴哈马的沙洲
. . .to the sandbanks of the Bahamas. . .
以及开曼群岛壮观的洞穴
. . .and the spectacular caves
of the Cayman lslands.
但为了拍到珊瑚的奇特现象
But to reveal some amazing
new discoveries about corals
团队不得不借助科学 去寻求一种新方式来观察这个世界
the team had to turn to science
for a new way of looking at the world.
科学家近期发现一些珊瑚似乎有一层天然的“防晒霜”
Scientists have recently discovered that
some corals appear to have a natural sunscreen.
为了用最生动的色彩展现这种“防晒霜” 团队离开了珊瑚通常的栖息地
And to reveal this in its full Technicolor glory,
the team had to leave their usuaI habitat.
迈阿密 唯一一座建立在珊瑚礁上的美国城市
In Miami, the only US city
actually built on a coral reef
有一个地方的珊瑚一直处于聚光灯下
there's one place where corals
are always in the spotlight.
科林·富尔德是一名海洋生物学家兼摄影师 他对珊瑚充满兴趣
Colin Foord is a marine biologist
and cameraman, with a passion for corals.
制片人蕾妮·戈弗雷期待得到
Just the man to help producer,
Renée Godfrey
这些神奇动物的独特影像
get the unique images of these
amazing animals that she's hoping for.
在你对这些珊瑚进行拍照和摄影时
And in your photography
and filmmaking of these corals.
你会试图让人们领略一个……
You're trying to take people
really into a, into a. . .
是的 一个微观世界
-一个宏观世界
Yeah into a. . . into a micro-universe
- into a micro-world.
珊瑚礁是由这些微小的动物聚居形成的
Coral reefs are built by colonies of tiny animals.
科林用来研究它们的镜头 可以放大两百倍
Colin studies them with lenses
that can magnify up to two hundred times.
他拯救那些在迈阿密航道上被清淤工作威胁的珊瑚
He rescues corals which are threatened
by dredging in Miami's waterways
并把它们重新安置在城市郊区的保护区内
and relocates them to protected areas
on the city's outskirts.
科林采集了少量城市内珊瑚的样本
Colin takes small samples of the city's corals
研究它们如何应对污染和不断上升的水温
to study how well they cope with pollution
and rising temperatures.
他的某些工作需要结合科学和摄影
Some of his work involves a combination
of science and photography.
珊瑚是神秘的动物 神秘的生物
COLIN: Corals are mysterious animals,
they're mysterious creatures.
我认为它们是地球上长相最像外星生物的物种
I see them as the most alien and cosmic
of the organisms on the planet
我对它们异常着迷
and I find that to be incredibly intriguing.
科林用蓝♥光♥灯和装有特殊滤镜的变焦镜头
Colin uses blue light
and zoom lenses with special filters
去寻找裸眼几乎看不见
to reveal something that is
barely visible to the naked eye
在阳光下也无法拍摄到的东西
and impossible to film in daylight.
现在 蕾妮能看到她正在寻找的东西了
Now Renée is able to see
exactly what she came looking for.
在蓝♥光♥下 珊瑚发出荧光
Under the blue light, the corals fluoresce.
珊瑚中的色素能吸收蓝♥光♥中的紫外波段
Pigments in the coral absorb
the ultraviolet component of the blue light
并重新发出其他颜色的光
and reemit it in different colours.
人们认为 这种适应能在野外保护珊瑚
In the wild, it's thought this adaptation
protects the coral
免受阳光中紫外线的伤害
from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays.
它们已经打开了 对吗
-嗯
Oh, they really have opened up, haven't they?
- Mm-hmm.
珊瑚深处纤弱的触手 从水中抓取食物
The corals put out tiny tentacles
to catch food from the water
在延时摄影下 摄制组把这些画面更加生动地展现出来
and with time-lapse photography,
the crew make the images even more revealing.
珊瑚生活的时间尺度与人类大为不同
COLIN: The coral is almost working
on a different timescale than the human timescale.
对于珊瑚而言 一切都要慢很多
You know, everything's
much slower for a coral.
在实验室内 我们可以拍摄很多一段时间然后加速播放
Working in a laboratory, we can film
for a long period of time and then speed up.
这样你就能看到珊瑚…… 你能看到珊瑚的口器的移♥动♥ 以及进食行为
So you start to see the way that the coral. . .
You can see the mouth eating and moving.
它们看起来不那么生机勃勃
You look at them and they don't
look like they're, they're very animate,
但只要你驻足仔细观察它们 你会意识到珊瑚是多么的富有生机
but once you stop and sort of observe them,
you realise just how alive corals are.
这些颜色太神奇了
-确实是
Just the most amazing colours.
- It's really, wow.
蕾妮得到了她想要的镜头
Renée has got the shots she came for,
揭示了珊瑚为了应对热带阳光所演化出的特殊适应
revealing the coral's extraordinary adaptation
for coping with the tropical sun.
但对于科林 拍摄这些美丽的图像只是宏大计划的一部分
But for Colin, filming these beautiful images
is part of a wider mission.
你用一种极为艺术的方式展示了珊瑚
-是的
You're showing corals in a,
in an incredibly artistic way. - Yes.
一方面 我们希望珊瑚能够呈现出自己
On the one hand, we just want the corals be able to,
to present themselves, you know?
珊瑚是一种活的艺术形式
Corals are these living art forms.
这些珊瑚的自然之美会引起公众的关注 比如
The natural beauty of these corals
can sell themselves to the public as to. . .
我们为什么要关心珊瑚礁
you know, why should
we care about the coral reefs?
也许是因为你从未如此接近珊瑚
Perhaps you'd never been able
to get so close to a coral, you know.
那么 来看看这些美丽的生物吧
Well, look at these beautiful organisms.
专业摄影正帮助我们更加了解
Specialist photography is helping us
to learn more and more
这种不寻常的生命形态
about these extraordinary life forms.
有了这群像科林一样充满激♥情♥的人
with passionate people
like Colin on their side
这些大西洋的神奇珊瑚也许会有一个美好的未来
these cosmic corals of the Atlantic
may have a bright future
他的相机也将永不停歇
with no end to what his camera might reveal.
