大世界之旅（2016）

Did he go into a shop and say, "What is the cheapest tent?"
"哪个帐篷最便宜"
"What is the cheapest tent?"
超♥市♥宣称会回收自己的购物袋...
You know supermarkets are claiming to recycle their carrier bags...?
经历了悲惨一夜后 我们继续向西南方向行驶
After a wretched night, we headed south-west
深入非洲的炎热地带
once more into the vast heat of Africa.
但从好的方面来看
But on the plus side,
这段旅程一开始 就仿佛置身于车迷的天堂
this leg of the journey started out as a slice of petrolhead heaven.
首先是砾石拉力赛
First, there was a gravel rally stage.
随后像是穿越了一条高山峡谷
And then, there was what felt like an alpine pass.
喔 沥青路面
Whoa, tarmac!
天啊 多么棒的一条路啊
Jesus! What a road!
再然后...
And then...
我们碰到了所有人都深恶痛绝的路面
We hit a surface that all of us absolutely hate.
天啊 就像是搓衣板
Oh God, it's washboard.
糟糕的路面
Oh, bad bit.
快结束吧 求求了 我求你了
Let it end. Now, please, I beg of you.
观众朋友们 你们可能不认为这路面很差 但请看
You might not believe this is bad, viewers, but look.
我有一个出风口已经被晃掉了
One of my air vents has been shaken free of the car.
从我们所处的位置来看 他掉落的出风口已经是最小的问题了
From where we were sitting, that was the least of his problems.
詹姆斯 你的玛莎拉蒂 看起来摇晃的很厉害
James, your Maserati looks very wobbly.
就像一辆快散架的 破旧的小丑车一样摇摇晃晃
Like fall apart clown car wobbly.
翼子板在晃 所有零件都在晃
The wings are moving, everything.
我的天啊 我看到你的意思了
Oh my God, I see what you mean.
整个车身都在颤抖
The whole body is vibrating.
确实是非常震颤
It's absolutely shocking in here.
你们觉得威尔曼先生会不会提前 在后援车里放一些备用骨盆呢
Do you think Mr Wilman thought to put some spare pelvises in the backup van?
天啊
Oh God.
这样的路面我们开了42公里
We have done 42 kilometres of this.
我受够了这他♥娘♥的♥搓衣板路
I'm sick of this. Fxxking washboard, fxxking road.
万幸的是 一座道路平坦的小镇 很快映入眼帘
Mercifully, a town with smooth roads soon hoved into view.
欣盖提 人口4711
温度 50摄氏度
这座欣盖提小镇 一千年前 真的是一千年前
This town, Chinguetti, a thousand years ago, and I do mean a thousand years ago,
曾经是通布图和海岸之间的中转站
was a staging post between Timbuktu and the coast,
所有的文献都存放在这里
and they stored all their literature here.
每栋建筑都曾经是一座图书馆 所有的知识都汇聚于这个小镇
Every building was a library. All of learning was in this town.
如今 这座小镇 被一条充满软沙的河谷一分为二
Today, the town is split in two by a Wadi full of soft sand.
而穿越这条河谷 需要巨大的速度和动力
And crossing it plainly required a vast amount of speed and power.
我的老天爷啊
Holy Jesus!
大猩猩来了
Jeremy's here.
这是个漂亮的小广场 不是吗
It's quite a nice little square, this, isn't it?
我的车现在看起来有点... 有点粗犷
My car's looking a little bit-It looks quite rugged now.
嘿 这是什么
And what's all this?
我不知道
Ah! I don't know.
天啊
Oh geeeee.
天啊 这可不妙
Geee, that's not good.
这本来是应该在某个容器里的
That's supposed to be inside somewhere.
这是油还是水 还是油水 沙质油水 -都不是
Is it oil or water? Or oily water? -Sandy, oily water? -It's neither.
这是转向助力油 -什么
It's power steering fluid. -What?
由于在高温下的激烈驾驶
The power steering fluid is getting incredibly hot
转向助力油变得非常烫
because of all the work it's doing, and the heat.
你看到了吗...
Have you seen?
我看到引擎盖打开了 我应该...
I can see the bonnet's up, should I...
就是个小...就是温度的问题而已
Oh, it's just a minor... it's just the temperature,
就是这里稍微烫了一点...
bit too much heat here and there.
它在哭啊
It's been crying.
是的 稍微哭了两下
Yeah, it has had a little weep.
DB9在沙漠里就会出现这种情况 这是众所周知的事情
Um, it's a known thing that they do it in the desert, DB9s.
嘿 听我说
Listen.
我想在小镇上转一转 -好的
I wanna look round this town. -Yes.
我想看看这座小镇
I've got something I want to look at in this town.
什么 不 我真心问 你想看什么
What? No, no, what?
图书馆
It's a library.
这里有很多图书馆 那里的 "Bibliotheque"就是图书馆的意思
There's lots of libraries. Look, "Bibliothèque", that means library.
一共有三间 曾经有七百间
There's three of them, I think. There used to be what, 700?
所有的知识 我说得对吗 基本上... -是的
All of knowledge, I'm right, aren't I, pretty much, was stored here.
...全放在这 -所有的阿♥拉♥伯知识 没错
All of Arab knowledge, yes.
好的 我们一会儿见
Right, we'll see you in a minute.
我想四处看看这个历史遗址的原因
The reason why I wanted to look around this historical site
是因为很快 它就将不复存在
is because soon, it won't be here.
撒哈拉沙漠正在...吞噬这座小镇
The desert is... eating the town.
什么 -正在吞噬
What? -Is eating it.
天啊 快看这个
Bloody hell. Look at this.
他肯定不会再修剪草坪了 对吧
He's not gonna be mowing his lawn anymore, is he?
所以 深达好几十厘米 甚至是几米
So it's feet deep, metres deep.
沙漠为什么要吞噬一座小镇 -快看那个
Why is the desert eating the town? -Look at that!
是这样的 如今有件事叫作全球变暖
Well now, there's a thing called global warming.
听说过
Heard of that.
正因为全球变暖 撒哈拉沙漠正在以每年四米的速度
And because of it, the Sahara Desert is moving south
向南移♥动♥
at the rate of four metres a year.
所以 意思就是 风吹动沙子
So this is what, wind moving the sand?
就是...植被逐渐死亡 演变成为沙漠
Yes, it's just-Well, the vegetation is dying and becoming desert.
一百年后 这里将变成一片沙漠 -一切都将不复存在
Hundred years, all that's desert. -Gone.
那可能是房♥顶
That's probably the top of a house.
天啊...我太震惊了
Bloody-I'm staggered by this.
这么跟你说吧 哈蒙德 -说什么
Tell you what though, Hammond? -What?
我有了个想法
It has given me an idea.
什么想法
What?
你会很喜欢的
You're gonna like this.
与此同时 在其中一间图书馆里
Meanwhile, in one of the libraries,
我看到了一些难以置信的古代文字
I was being shown some incredible ancient texts.
这一小部分用的是真黄金
There's actual gold used in this bit,
这是黄金
this is gold.
是吗
Yeah.
这个是镀金的
It's gilded.
是的 就是这个 -这个也太叹为观止了
Yeah, this one. It is stunning, this one.
他说有一位美国游客拜访过图书馆的负责人
Said that an American tourist visited the guy in the library,
美国人想让他把书卖♥♥给自己
and he asked him to sell him the book.
然后美国人告诉他 如果他愿意卖♥♥掉 就给他一套佛罗里达的房♥子
Then he told him if he would sell it, he's gonna give him a house in Florida, and he said no.
他拒绝了 说这是他曾祖父母的遗产
It's the legacy of his great-grandparents.
我觉得你做得对
I think you did the right thing.
你肯定不想要佛罗里达的房♥子
You don't want a house in Florida.
那里又热又粘 而且到处都是持枪人士
It's all hot and sticky and full of people with guns.
我能摸一下 这本500岁的天文学书吗
Can I touch a 500-year-old astronomy book?
这讲的是相对运动 是月球和...
This is the relative motions of the Moon and...
...地球和太阳的相对运动
the Earth and the Sun.
所以 这是在哥白尼之前的时代
So that's pre-Copernicus, presumably,
所以这本书大概也是同一时期的
so it's about the same time,
当时在阿♥拉♥伯世界 他们还没有认识到
and in the Arab world I don't think they had yet recognised
太阳应该被视为宇宙的中心
that the Sun should be considered in the middle.
而且别忘了...
Bear in mind as well that
我们说的11世纪 只是我们当下眼中的11世纪
what we're talking about here, the 11th century, is our understanding of the 11th century...
把图书管♥理♥员♥讲得昏昏欲睡之后
Having sent the librarians into a deep sleep,
船长终于出现在阳光下
James finally emerged into the sunlight.
嘿 怎么样好玩吗
Hey, how are you doing? Was it good?
好玩 真的是棒极了
Yeah, it was bloody fantastic.
有很多书 但有一本古老的书
Lots of books but this ancient one
上边有关于先知生活的图解
with diagrams in about lives of the prophets,
每一个都有插图
and every one was an illustration, like a picture.
像画一样 -他马上就要变脸了
His mood is about to change.
你们干了什么好事
What have you done? What have you done?
你们干了什么好事 -我们一直在到处闲逛
Well we've been hanging around. We've walked about,
我们四处走走 看了看这座小镇
looked at the town, haven't we?
哦 你说这个啊 -你发现了 是啊
You've noticed. -Oh that?
不是我们干的 -没错
No.
这是... -我们刚参观完镇上的另一侧
We got back from looking round this other bit of the town...
回来后就看到了这个场景 -是的 没错
Yes. -...and found this.
你听说过尘魔
You've heard of dust devils,
有点像旋转的风 -是的
those little like spinning winds? -Yes.
你停车的位置 正处于这些街道的交叉口
Where you parked, at this intersection.
好的 -我认为由此可能增大了风力
I think it maybe amplified the effect of the wind
导致风把沙子卷起来 全都堆在了你的车里
