野生动物宝宝（2022）

得放手让孩子自己去走
is letting your loved ones go.
在哥斯达黎加这个温暖而晴朗的夜晚
It's a warm, clear night in Costa Rica.
新生命正在萌动
And new life is stirring.
在黑夜掩护下
Under cover of darkness,
小丽龟从地下巢穴中爬出来
tiny olive ridley turtles crawl from their buried nests.
每只幼龟都是受本能驱使
Each of these baby hatchlings is driven by instinct,
跟随最明亮的地平线到海里去
following the brightest horizon to reach the sea.
它们只要穿过21米的沙滩
There's just 70 feet of sand to cross.
但对于不到五厘米的幼龟来说
But if you're less than two inches long,
这就是马拉松
that's a marathon.
随着成千上万的幼龟爬出来…
As thousands begin to emerge…
同步孵化的规模显现出来
the synchrony of the hatching becomes clear.
这次午夜孵出的幼龟 已经被其他动物知晓
This midnight flight has been widely anticipated.
捕食者跑来享受这场盛宴
Predators have turned up to take advantage of a feast.
甚至连一位宿敌都回来了
Even an old enemy is back.
一个接一个的吃
Picked off one by one,
数千只幼龟没能幸免
thousands won't make it.
但对于这些暴露在危险之下的幼龟
But of those who run the gauntlet,
有一些会幸免于难 进入海中的安全地带
some will get through to reach the safety of the sea.
在潮汐线触及不到的地方
Up beyond the tide line,
最后一批幼龟出来了
the last to emerge.
这些幼龟爬到已故母亲产蛋地的表面
The hatchlings have reached the surface of their late mother's nest.
这个雌性宝宝
For this baby female,
是第一次看到黎明
a first view of dawn.
但现在光天化日 是最不适合爬行的时段
But now, in the clear light of day, it's the very worst time to run.
没有任何前辈指引它
With no one to guide her,
这只勇敢的幼龟开始行动了
the plucky hatchling makes her move.
对于小幼龟来说 盘根错节的树根
Tangled tree roots must seem like a mountain range
看起来一定像是山脉
to a tiny turtle.
它的兄弟姐妹找到了一条穿过去的路
Her siblings find a way through.
因为摔了一跤
While with one tumble,
它成了一个活靶子
she's a sitting target.
但它命不该绝
But she's not done yet.
前方要进行笔直的冲刺
It's a straight sprint ahead.
但在开阔的野外
But out in the open,
根本无处可躲
there's nowhere to hide.
黑美洲鹫在沙滩上漫步
Black vultures stalk the sands.
在天上
And up above,
军舰鸟发动了无情的攻击
frigate birds mount relentless attack.
在这片沙滩上
On this beach…
看起来有100种死法
…it seems there are a hundred ways to die.
它几乎到了海浪波及的范围
She's almost within striking distance of the surf.
现在
Now,
只能看它的运气了
it's all down to luck.
在它母亲的旅程终结的地方…
Where her mother's journey ended…
会是它旅程的开始吗
could hers be just beginning?
到了海中后
In reaching the ocean,
这只幼龟将在海中 度过接下来的15年
this baby turtle will spend the next 15 years at sea,
然后它会想办法回来
before finding her way back
在同一片沙滩上产下自己的蛋
to this same beach to lay her own eggs
继承它妈妈的遗志
and continue her mother's legacy.
非洲南部的新一天的黎明 让动物们很兴奋
With a new dawn in Southern Africa, comes excitement.
它们的妈妈为卡娅和它的兄弟们 准备了美味的大餐
Their mother has a tasty treat for Kaya and her brothers.
在夜间它和妹妹终于完成击杀
During the night, she and her sister finally made a kill.
现在它有机会 让孩子们初尝肉的滋味
Now she has the chance to give the cubs their first taste of meat.
但为了到达猎物所在的地方 它们必须穿过沙河
But to get there, they have to cross the Sand River.
和大多数猫科动物一样
Like most cats…
卡雅怕水
…Kaya's afraid of water.
水中昏暗
It's the darkness of it.
奇怪的生物潜伏在深处
The strange creatures lurking in the depths.
对小卡雅来说游泳不安全
It's not safe for little Kaya to attempt to swim.
而它的两个哥哥必须自己照顾自己
Whereas her big brothers must fend for themselves.
幼狮的小姨一直守着猎物
The cub's aunt has been guarding the kill,
等待着它们到来
waiting for their arrival.
两位哥哥首先靠近
The brothers are the first to approach.
它们从来没吃过固体食物
They've never had solids before.
它们很快就大吃起来
They soon tuck in,
卡雅跟往常一样谨慎
while Kaya is typically wary.
但猎物的气味让它难以抗拒
But there's something about that smell that's irresistible.
新鲜的肉 富含蛋白质
This fresh meat, full of protein,
是对母乳的营养补充
will be a nutritious supplement to mom's milk.
但它们有了访客
But they've got visitors.
冠鹫
Hooded vultures.
食腐动物 永远在寻找它们的下一餐
Scavengers, forever on the lookout for their next meal.
成年狮子知道这是个非常坏的消息
The adults know this is very bad news.
因为有一只冠鹫…
Because where there's one vulture…
很快就会来几十只
soon, there will be dozens.
对于任何捕食者来说 盘旋的秃鹫表明此地有猎物
To any predator, circling vultures advertise a kill.
马拉马拉狮群
And the MalaMala pride
恰好在附近巡逻
happen to be on patrol close by.
妈妈不确定它们对自己的孩子 会是什么反应
Mom's unsure how they'll react to her cubs.
但它们只对猎物尸体感兴趣
But they're only interested in the carcass.
狮群冲了过来
As the pride rush in,
对于幼崽和家人的第一次见面
these are the very worst circumstances
这是非常糟糕的情况
for the cubs' first meeting with their family.
夹在狮子和食物中间 对于幼崽来说是致命的
Getting between a lion and food can be fatal for a vulnerable youngster.
在一片混乱中…
In all the commotion…
它们的妈妈失去了辛苦打来的猎物
…their mom loses her hard-won kill.
但最糟糕的是
But worst of all,
它们跑走找掩护的过程中
as they run for cover,
妈妈找不到自己的幼崽了
she loses sight of her cubs.
