奇迹之地（2015）

..and underneath, the sea bed is now fully exposed.
米妮会在这里找到她的秘密储藏室
It's here that Minnie will find her secret larder.
但这是一场与时间的赛跑
But it's a race against time.
女人们只有45分钟的时间在六英尺深的地方挖一个洞，
The women have just 45 minutes to dig a hole through six feet
在固体冰上。
of solid ice...
..在潮水转向并再次淹没海床之前下潜
..and head under before the tide turns and re-floods the sea bed.
他们通过
They're through.
但随着那里成吨♥的冰不断移♥动♥，
But with tonnes of constantly shifting ice down there,

该走了
It's time to go.
这对妇女来说是最危险的时刻

随着潮水开始向这些洞穴中注水，
As the tide begins to refill these caves with water,
它的运动也移♥动♥了它们头顶上的巨大冰块
its movement shifts the huge ice blocks sitting above their heads.
风险在于他们进入的洞随着冰的移♥动♥而关闭，
The risk is that the hole they've entered by closes as the ice moves,
把他们困在下面
leaving them trapped underneath.
他们成功了，只是
They've made it. Just.

The sea reclaims its secret larder.
对于这些采集贻贝的人来说，这次危险的狩猎是值得的
