向深海出发（2008）

At the base of these spines are venom glands containing a neurotoxin.
这些尖刺中 有分泌神经毒素的毒腺
When the spine punctures a victim, the toxin is released.
当这些尖刺扎到敌人的时候 毒素就会释放
Old wives' tales would say that fishermen who would grab lionfish
民间流传说 有渔夫想把渔网里的
and try and pull them out of their nets,
狮子鱼弄出来 结果被扎到
would get stung and they would throw themselves overboard
倒在船甲板上
and commit suicide because the pain was so excruciating.
最后自杀了 因为疼得实在忍♥不住了
But the venomous spines aren't the real danger here.
但是这些尖刺 并不是真正的危险
So far, on this dive, the lionfish is the only relatively large fish
到现在为止 菲利普和露西都潜水中
that Philippe and Lucy have seen.
看到的大鱼只有狮子鱼
These invaders are skilled and efficient hunters
这些入侵者是很厉害的高效猎手
that decimate the native fish population.
消灭了大量的本地鱼
Wow, he's eyeballing something.
哇 它的好像看到了什么
He's just, kind of, sneaking up on it.
在悄悄地靠近
Whoa! Did you see that? He just went after something.
哇噻 看到了吗? 它在追什么东西
Oh, yeah!
噢
Wow! That is so rare. Typically, lionfish are nocturnal feeders,
哇 太稀罕了 狮子鱼通常在夜间捕食
and for him to have done that,
它们要这样做
it just shows, just how voracious and deadly these creatures are.
这表明这些生物非常的可怕
And because they're new here, the native fish don't yet recognise them
因为它们是这儿新来的 本地鱼还不知道它们
as predators.
是食肉动物
All the little fish swimming around it,
所有的小鱼都在它周围游动呢
they're just, sort of, hanging out there.
它们只是在那儿随便游
So the idea of, you know, identifying it as a predator,
所以我想 你知道 它是食肉动物
no, they haven't acknowledged that as yet.
它们是没有意识到这点
Look at them, they're almost following it at the moment.
你看它们它们似乎都跟着它呢
Lionfish target young fish which are easily caught.
狮子鱼的目标是小鱼 它们容易抓捕
The native fish population is in danger of being wiped out.
本地鱼面临灭绝的危险
That was the problem in action.
那就是当前的问题
This is bad news for the health of this ecosystem,
这对生态环境来说可不是好消息
bad news for potentially important fish and for the other creatures
对那些重要的鱼类 和其它的生物来说这是个坏消息
that live here, that are part of the natural order of this food chain.
它们原本可都是 正常食物链的一部分
And it's getting worse.
情况越来越糟
Lionfish have few natural predators in the Atlantic,
狮子鱼是大西洋少有天敌
so their population is exploding.
所以它们的数量在迅速上升
From just a handful 20 years ago, there are now countless lionfish,
20年前还很少 现在到处都是狮子鱼
and they've spread from the Caribbean as far north as Rhode Island.
它们分布在从加勒比海 一直北上到罗德岛
For me, it was just the way that the other fish were
在我看来 其它的鱼
just, sort of, hanging out around them,
还在跟着它们旁边转悠
as if they had no fear or any indication that they were their predators.
好像它们并不在乎 也不知道它是掠食者
They were everywhere.
它们到处都是
You know, I was looking for grouper, I was looking for parrot fish,
你知道 我在寻找石斑鱼 也在找鹦鹉鱼
I was keeping my eye out for things that should be here,
我一直在寻找本应在这里的鱼
and I didn't see any of them in the abundance that I saw lionfish.
但是我发现它们都没有狮子鱼多
That's very worrying.
我很担心
I don't think there's anything we can do about it. I really don't.
我想我们也做不了什么 真的做不了什么
Except for try and learn, so that if it happens again with another species,
除了试着去学习教训 好在这类事情再度发生时
we're a little more prepared to deal with it.
能够做好准备
I think that's about all we can hope for, which isn't much.
我想我们也只能如此了 能做的不多
There's no sign of this Atlantic invasion stopping,
大西洋这次物种侵略没有停止
and it's far from the only example of man's impact on this ocean.
而这可远不是 人类对这片大海绝无仅有的影响
Later in the expedition, the team will dive with sharks to protect
晚些时候 探险队将要跟鲨鱼一起潜水
these top predators, victims of increased commercial fishing here.
这些顶级掠食者 正是商业捕鱼增加的牺牲品
These waters are being changed by man,
这些海域都是被人类改变的
but they brought the first settlers to these islands over 1,300 years ago.
但是最早定居者 被带来还是1300年前的事
Good luck with the Lucayans, guys. Don't want to see any...
祝你们寻找路凯恩运气好 不想看到…
There are archaeological discoveries to be made in terms of that whole,
我们会考察考古学上的发现
sort of, migration of people out of South America
就是人类从南非迁移出来
and slow colonisation of various islands in the Caribbean
然后慢慢来到大西洋的这一部分
in this part of the Atlantic Ocean.
加勒比海的海岛
Today, maritime archaeologist Dr. Lucy Blue is travelling inland,
现在海洋考古学家 露西·布鲁博士在内陆旅行
in search of the lost civilisation of the Lucayans.
想要寻找失落的文明路凯恩
The Lucayans were an ancient people who travelled here from South America
路凯恩是从南非来的古老的人类
on wooden rafts, using the ocean currents and prevailing winds.
利用木制筏子利用海流和风力
Lucy will be the first archaeologist to investigate a sea cave
露西是第一个到一个海下洞穴 考察的考古学家
thought to be a Lucayan burial site.
那里被认为是路凯恩的墓地
This is the first time in 20 years or so that anybody's been allowed
20年来都没有人被允许这样做过
to go back and have a look and see if, indeed, anything still remains there.
回去看看 那儿是否还有一些遗留物
Very little is left of the Lucayans' ancient civilisation.
古路凯恩文明的遗迹很少
could this cave hold evidence of their rich history?
这个洞穴是否藏有 丰富的历史证据?
This watery state, it's really quite atmospheric,
这个潮湿的地方 也暴露在空气中
quite peaceful actually, isn't it?
很安详的一个地方 不是吗?
Sort of fitting that you bury your dead there, in a way.
很适合在这儿安葬同伴
Hopefully, my expertise in the archaeological remains
希望我在考古学上的专长
will add something to an understanding, assuming there's anything there, though.
能够增加对发现的东西的理解 前提是能找到一些
We're still not entirely sure that we're actually going to find anything.
我们还是不敢肯定我们能找到什么
Wow! And into the depths we descend.
哇 我们下去了很深
Whoa! That is just like the hand of God touching the cavern.
哇 这个洞穴真是鬼斧神工
Finding anything won't be easy.
找到点什么不是很容易的事
This underground labyrinth of caverns extends for many miles
这个地下迷宫绵延数英里
and eventually joins the ocean.
最后通向大海
The limestone structure of the Bahamas being so porous and fragile
巴哈马的石灰石多孔易碎
creates these vast cave systems.
所以大自然能创造出 这个巨大的岩洞系统
The Lucayans' creation legend tells how they were trapped
路凯恩人传说中说 他们被困在里面
in a watery cave until the sun and the moon freed them.
而太阳和月亮让他们重获自♥由♥
So caves were sacred places and used for burial.
所以这些洞穴是神圣的地方 用来埋葬尸体
What about there?
那儿呢?
Amah! Look at this! That's really eerie.
啊 你看这 真的很奇怪
Deep within the cave, Lucy spots something remarkable.
在洞穴里面 露西发现了一些很重要的东西
Tooni, Tooni, come in, come in.
托尼 托尼 快来 快来
God!
天哪
God, it's incredible to think this could have been here
天哪 真的难以想像呢
for over 1,400 years,
都1400多年了呢
just lying here in its watery grave.
就躺在这个水下坟墓里
I can't see any other sort of burial artefacts with it,
没有看到其它埋葬的东西
no bits of pottery, but unfortunately we can't get too close.
没有陶器什么的 可惜的是没法离得很近
I might just go a little bit closer.
我应该再进去一点
But is this skull Lucayan? One feature would prove it.
但是这是路凯恩人的头骨吗? 有一点可以证明
Apparently they used to strap planks of wood on the skull,
他们以前把木板绑在头上
and this would give it a very pronounced shape.
这会形成特定的形状
It was supposed to be a sign of, you know, beauty.
他们认为那样很漂亮
It's a bit like, you know, when the Japanese bind their kids' feet,
就像是 你知道当日本人 绑住他们孩子的脚的时候
it's the same sort of effect.
效果是一样的
And actually it does look like it's had that on its head.
这个头上的确有这样的特征
The characteristic flat forehead
这是一个很典型的扁平前额
shows this really is the skull of a Lucayan.
表明真就是路凯恩人的头骨
It's thought the bodies were dropped into the caves from openings above,
尸体好像是从上面被扔下来的
but to Lucy the position of the body suggests another possibility.
但是在露西看来 这样的姿势还有另外一种可能
The Lucayans themselves were actually really competent free divers,
路凯恩人其实是很好的潜水者
and so they could have actually carried the body and placed it in this position.
也可能是他们自己把人 抬到这儿来埋葬的
To me it looks very deliberately placed.
我看这是精心安排的
But while the Atlantic transported the Lucayan settlers here,
大西洋把路凯恩人带到这儿来定居
it also brought about their demise
也带来了他们的灭绝
when, hundreds of years later, other races migrated across this ocean.
几百年以后 其他种族又来到这儿
The Lucayan people lived here quite peacefully
路凯恩人 在这儿生活安详
until the Europeans arrived, Columbus and his men.
直到哥伦布等欧洲人的到来
They took a population of roughly 60,000 people and enslaved them,
他们带来了6万多人 奴役了他们
and if they refused to be enslaved, then they shot them.
要是他们不服从奴役的话 就向他们开枪
After Spanish colonisation,
在西班牙占领这儿以后
European diseases and mass suicides in response to slavery took their toll.
欧洲疾病和奴役带来的大量自杀 给了他们沉重打击
Within a generation, the Lucayan peoples no longer existed.
他们在一代人的时间里就消失了
I felt very privileged, looking at somebody
我感到很荣幸能有机会
in their final resting place.
看到他们最后存在的地方
When you find, you know, the remains of people that lived, you know, sort of
找到了他们的那些遗骨
1,400 years ago or something...
有1400多年的历史
A vanished civilisation.
这是消失的文明
Yeah, that makes it very special.
是的 这是很特别的事
Today the Atlantic still has a great influence on our lives.
今天大西洋对我们的生活 仍然影响很大
And for hundreds of years, this ocean was central to the discovery of new worlds
数百年来这片海域 是众多新发现
and colonial expansion.
和殖民扩张的中心
It's clearly a hugely important highway in terms of connecting continents,
显然这是连接陆地的重要纽带
