隐秘王国（2014）

A horned owl.
鸮昼伏夜出 所以花栗鼠有可能逃脱
Owls sleep during the day, so he might just get away with it.
目前为止还不错 不过它还需要更多的橡果
So far, so good, but he still needs lots more nuts.
白昼渐短
The days are getting shorter
当夜幕降临 情况就完全不同了
and once it's dark, it's a very different proposition.
鸮有极其灵敏的听力
Owls have extremely sensitive hearing.
该离开了
Time to go.
速度也许救了它一命
Speed may have saved him,
不过储备依然空了一半
but his larder is still half empty.
更糟的是 冬天的第一场霜冻已经降下
And even worse, the first frost of winter is upon him.
在寒冷的野外 花栗鼠无法生存
Chipmunks can't survive outside in the cold.
回到雨林
Back in the rainforest,
树鼩的水果供应已经枯竭了
the tree-shrew's supply of fruit has run dry.
它需要另找一个食物源
She needs an alternative source of food...
还要面对每天的降雨
And there's the daily shower to contend with.
对于这么小的动物 雨滴就像水制炸♥弹♥
When you're this small, raindrops are like water bombs.
它必须把浪费的时间赶上
She must make up for lost time.
在雨林的底层
Down on the forest floor,
危机四伏
dangers lurk around every corner.
火蚁
Fire ants.
它们的刺含有酸液
They sting with acid.
不要招惹为好
Not to be disturbed,
除非你有铠甲护身
unless you're armour plated.
穿山甲的爪子像熊爪一般坚硬
A pangolin has claws as strong as a bear's
火蚁是它们的午餐
and eats fire ants for lunch.
某种甜美的味道吸引了它
She's drawn by the scent of something tasty.
猪笼草是肉食植物
Pitcher plants are carnivorous,
以把昆虫诱惑进潮湿的坟墓而闻名
known for luring insects to a watery grave.
这一株则引诱饥饿的树鼩
This one lures hungry tree shrews.
盖子内侧覆盖着一层甜美的分泌物
The inside of the lid is covered in a sweet secretion.
不过这液体是一种泻药
But the liquid is a laxative,
而且起效迅速
and a fast acting one.
猪笼草要的是树鼩粪便里的营养物质
The pitcher was after nutrients in the tree shrew's dung.
这意味着它现在肚子空空如也
It means she is now running on empty.
更糟的是 它被盯上了
And worse, she's not alone.
一条网纹蟒
A reticulated python.
本能让它爬上了树冠
Instinct sends her up to the canopy.
蛇可爬不了这么快
No snake can climb as fast as this.
不过夜晚将近
But nightfall is approaching.
晚上可不是树鼩活动的好时候
Night is no time for a tree shrew to be up and about.
你永远不知道会撞上什么
You never know who you might bump into.
两倍它的个头 狐蝠是世界上最大的蝙蝠
Twice her size, flying foxes are the largest bats in the world.
它们能从一棵果树飞到另一棵
They're able to fly from one fruit tree to another.
丛林中大半动物是夜行性的
More than half the creatures of the jungle are nocturnal,
对于一只日行性动物
but for a daytime creature,
雨林之夜是陌生的世界
night in the rainforest is an alien world.
奇异的真菌点亮了道路
Strange fungi light the way.
它们发光的原因是自然不解之谜
Why they glow is one of nature's mysteries.
它们的光照不了太远
Their light doesn't travel far.
几乎一片漆黑
It's almost pitch dark.
这些眼镜猴只有十厘米高
These tarsiers are only ten centimetres tall.
它们在狩猎
They're hunting.
无人能逃脱它们巨大的眼睛和敏锐的听力
Nothing escapes their huge eyes and acute hearing.
雨林中最鬼祟的捕食者也不例外
Not even the stealthiest predator in the forest.
这条蟒蛇也是夜晚捕猎的专家
This python is also an expert night hunter.
在脸部两侧有热量感受带
It has heat-sensing pits on the side of its face
即使在黑暗中 也可以追踪温血的哺乳动物
and can follow the heat trail of a warm blooded mammal,
留下的热量踪迹
even in the dark.
在野生树林里 晨光融化了地表第一场霜冻
In the wild woods, dawn melts away the first ground frost.
这是一次预警
But it was a warning.
找到失窃的橡果 夺回它们
Finding his stolen nuts and getting them back
是这只小花栗鼠唯一的选择
is now the youngster's only chance.
橡果贼出门了
The nut thief is going out.
小花栗鼠必须迅速行动
The youngster will have to be quick.
被抓了个正着
Caught in the act.
是逃跑
It's flight
还是战斗
or fight.
它选择了
He chooses
战斗
fight
小花栗鼠赢了
The youngster's won.
它可以带走被偷的橡果
He can reclaim his stolen nuts,
小偷则在舔舐受伤的自尊
while the thief nurses his wounded pride.
小花栗鼠最好加快速度
The youngster had better hurry.
冬天已至
Winter is here.
回到雨林里 小树鼩因饥饿而变得虚弱
Back in the jungle, the young tree shrew is weak with hunger,
而且被雨林中
and is being pursued
最无情的捕食者盯上了
by the most relentless predator in the forest.
它被迫向高爬
She's driven higher.
又是一条蛇
Another snake.
被逼上绝路
Cornered.
只有一条生路
There's only one way out...
不过它从未跳过这么远的距离
But it's further than she's ever jumped before.
速度 距离和时机必须拿捏得恰到好处
Speed, distance, and timing must be judged to perfection.
安全了
Safe.
终于 一棵果树出现了
And, at last, a fruiting tree.
今天的冒险结束了
For today, the adventure is over.
不过很快 它的搜寻又将开始
But soon, her search will begin again.
每过一天
With each day that passes,
这只聪明的小生命就会积累一点智慧
this clever little creature will grow a little wiser
更好地面对生命中的种种危险
and better able to cope with the danger that comes her way.
在隐秘王国 生命从不放慢脚步
In the Hidden Kingdom, life never slows down.
也许除了霜冻降临后的
Except perhaps in the temperate forest,
温带森林
when the big freeze sets in.
尽管对于很多动物 这是难熬的季节
Although for many animals this is a time of hardship,
对于花栗鼠 则是享受应得休息的时刻
for a chipmunk, it's a chance to take a well-deserved rest.
开始六个月安稳的冬眠
The start of six months of peaceful sleep.
饿了就会短暂醒来
And when he gets hungry he'll wake briefly,
而橡果就在身边
and his nuts will be there.
橡果可以供它一直吃到春天
They'll last him all the way until spring,
届时它将重回地面 准备好迎接新的生活
when he'll re-emerge, ready to begin again.
只有很少小动物能活过最初的几个月
Few little creatures survive their first months,
不过一旦成功了
but for those that do,
它们所学到的
what they have learned
可以让隐秘王国中的生活
should make life become just that little bit easier,
变得更加轻松一点
in the hidden kingdoms of the forests.
