生命故事（2014）

目前为止在生命故事里
So far on Life Story,
我们见到了动物
we've seen animals learn
吸取童年的教训...
the lessons of childhood...
...进入成人的世界...
..enter the adult world...
...寻找一个安全的家...
..and find a safe home.
现在他们必须为优势而战斗
Now they must battle for dominance.
黑猩猩尖叫
CHIMPS SCREAM
因为那些有力量的人有特权
Because those with power get privileges.
最好的食物，最好的土地…
The best food,the best territory...
……和击败竞争对手获取配偶的机会
..and the chance to beat rivals for a mate.
但只有少数幸运儿能达到最高点
But only a lucky few will ever reach the top.
鸟吱吱喳喳鸣叫
BIRDS CHIRP
塞内加尔，西非
Senegal, West Africa.
一池森林里的水坑提供给了这一群黑猩猩们
A forest water hole offers this group of chimpanzees
一个远离炎热天气喘息的机会
a rare respite from the heat of the day.
他们是三十个强大的群体成员里地位最低的成员
They are the lowliest members of their 30-strong troop.
老一辈将这只年长的雄性曾经享有的地位
Advanced age has robbed this old male of the standing
给抢走了
he once enjoyed.
猩猩嚎叫着
CHIMP HOWLS
而那些仍然受到她们母亲照料的幼年猩猩们
And the youngsters are not old enough to really
年纪仍尚未达到需要担心社会地位
worry about status while still protected by their mothers.
但这支青年猩猩年纪已经大到不适合再和宝宝们玩耍了.
But this teenage male is too old to play with the babies any more.
黑猩猩咕哝
CHIMP GRUNTS
到了他离开他们的时候了
The time has come for him to leave them behind
然后闯入强大的成年猩猩阶级之中.
and try to break into the ranks of the powerful adult males.
对于一个年轻的男性只是尤其不易的
This is particularly hard for a young male,
为了最好的地点展开的争夺总是如此激烈
because competition for top spots is so intense.
更糟的是他是个孤儿 没有朋友 保护或者照料
And worse, he's an orphan, without friends, protection or guidance.
这些雄性是队伍的领军人物
These males are the troop leaders.
他们掌握着所有的权力
They hold all the power here.
加入他们是每一个年轻人的志愿
Joining them is every young male's ambition.
能被这个精英团体所接纳是通往特权的捷径
To be accepted into this elite is the path to privilege,
但这是段危险的旅程
but it's a dangerous journey.
黑猩猩咕哝着
CHIMPS GRUNT
这个年轻人打算跟着
The youngster decides to follow.
初先, 他有足够的感觉来保持距离
At first, he has enough sense to keep his distance.
这些雄性体型两倍于他
These males are twice his size.
猩猩嚎叫着 粗野地尖叫着
CHIMPS HOWL AND SCREAM WILDLY
这只低等级的猩猩退缩了
The low-ranking chimps retreat
在队伍的领导者到达水坑之前
before the troop leaders arrive at the water hole.
掌权的男性过着压力很大的日子
Dominant males have a highly stressful life,
由于他们总是在为了保护它们的地点争吵
as they constantly squabble to protect their position.
猩猩嚎叫尖叫着
CHIMPS HOWL AND SCREAM
年轻人无法把视线从他们挪开
The youngster can't take his eyes off them.
猩猩嚎叫尖叫着
CHIMPS HOWL AND SCREAM
这是他能获得注意的机会
This is his chance to get himself noticed.
如果他能,哪怕是给一个成年人展示自己的力量留以印象
If he can,impress even one of the big males with
他或许就能被接纳入他们的阶级
a show of strength, he might just be accepted into their ranks.
他对男子气概做出的努力尝试
His best attempt at a macho display has certainly
获得了他们的注意力了
caught their attention.
猩猩嚎叫着
CHIMP HOWLS
猩猩嚎叫尖叫着
CHIMPS HOWL AND SCREAM
但他们并未被打动
But they are not impressed.
猩猩击打木头
CHIMPS BEAT ON WOOD
事实上 这种敲打意味着他们变得相当愤怒了
In fact, this drumming means they're getting rather angry.
他们攻击
And they attack.
猩猩嚎叫尖叫着
CHIMPS HOWL AND SCREAM
年轻人不够快
The youngster is not quick enough.
嘶吼着野性地喊着
CHIMPS HOWL AND SCREAM WILDLY
他学到了一个既短暂又深刻的教训
He gets a short, sharp lesson about how hard it can be
要想突破进入这个组织严密的群体里究竟有多困难
to break into this close-knit gang.
猩猩吠叫着
CHIMPS BARK
他能在仅仅一只手负伤的情况下得以逃脱是很幸运的
He's lucky to escape with just an injured hand.
猩猩哀鸣着
CHIMP WHINES
目前为止 他仍然不够强大
For the moment, he's neither big enough nor strong enough
足以获得群体领导者的注意
to be taken seriously by the troop leaders.
没有地位 它将永远不会享有拥有最好食物的特权
Without status, he will never enjoy the privileges of the best
或者是雌性的注意
food or the attention of females.
但是侵略性或许不是年轻人唯一获得力量的办法
But aggression may not be the only route for a youngster to gain power.
身处群体的底层并不意味着缺少地位
Being at the bottom of the pile doesn't just mean a lack of status.
对于某些情况 这可能意味着生与死的区别
For some, it can mean the
difference between life and death.
到了深冬 数以百计的阿♥拉♥斯加秃鹰
By midwinter, several hundred
Alaskan bald eagles
在Chilkat河流聚集了起来
have gathered on the Chilkat River.
他们聚集于此 因为这是方圆数里以内唯一可以找到食物的地方
They're here because it is the only
source of food for miles around.
这条河里有着一年里最后一批产卵中的鲑鱼
This river holds the last
of the year's spawning salmon.
成年秃鹰之间的对决决定了谁将拥有权利
Battles amongst adult eagles
establish who holds the power,
而在这里 权利意味谁将拥有食物谁将没有
and here, power means who gets food
and who doesn't.
鹰叫
EAGLES SQUAWK
鹰叫
EAGLES SQUAWK
鹰叫
EAGLES SQUAWK AND CHIRP
那么 如果一只地位低 没有力量的年轻人
So, what can a low ranking,
powerless juvenile do
想要不挨饿的话该怎么办呢
if she isn't going to starve?
她必须在被成年的夺走之前
She must grab any opportunity
that presents itself
把握出现在她面前出现的任何机会
before adults stake their claim.
老鹰呼唤着
EAGLE CALLS
她尝试着溜进来
而不被成年人所注意到
She tries to sneak in,
unnoticed by the adults.
但她已经被注意到了
But she's been spotted.
鹰叫
EAGLE SQUAWKS
年轻人干了所有困难的工作

all the hard work.
但她的成功是短暂的
But her success is short-lived.
鹰叫声
CHIRPING AND SQUAWKING
鹰叫声
EAGLE SQUAWKS
她暂时还承担不起放弃
She can't afford to give up
just yet.
鹰喳喳叫
EAGLE CHIRPS
对于年轻人而言要想夺回她的鱼或许很困难
The youngster may not be strong
enough to fight for her fish.
但其他的成年人会
But other adults will.
成年人力量的游戏或许能帮到她
The adult's power games
might just help her.
现在她的机会来了
Now is her chance.
鹰叫声
EAGLE CAWS
口角很快升级成了全方面的武斗
The squabble rapidly
escalates into a full-blown fight.
疯狂的鸣叫
FRANTIC CHIRPING
这与捕鱼再也没任何关系了
This isn't about the fish any more.
这是有关一个成年人强迫着统治别人
This is about one adult
enforcing dominance over another.
重新夺回来的鱼足以使青年秃鹰
The reclaimed fish is
enough to keep the juvenile alive
维持至少几天的生命
for at least a few more days.
但前方的冬天仍既漫长又艰难呢
But there's a long, hard
winter ahead.
非洲卡拉哈利大沙漠的清晨
Dawn in Africa's Kalahari Desert.
在猫鼬的社会里
In meerkat society,
族群的成功由领导者决定
the success of the troop depends
on decisions made by the leader.
到哪里进食 哪里睡觉
Where to feed, where to sleep
如何面对危险
and how to deal with danger.
猫鼬窃窃私语
MEERKAT CHATTERS
没一个个体能希冀超越等级制度
No individual can hope to
climb the hierarchy
除非他累积知识
unless it accumulates knowledge.
猫鼬交谈着
MEERKAT CHATTERS
猫鼬交谈着

这只年轻的猫鼬已经起床并前往他的站岗点

and on his way to his lookout post.

an excellent time
