1
00:00:03,131 --> 00:00:06,691
西藏高原的陆地面积约占中国领土的四分之一
The Tibetan plateau is a quarter of China.
2
00:00:09,307 --> 00:00:13,267
其中的大部分极度偏远荒无人烟
Much of it is extremely remote and inhospitable.
3
00:00:14,603 --> 00:00:19,123
南部边界贯穿了世界上最高的山脉
Its southern border runs through the world's highest mountain range,
4
00:00:19,219 --> 00:00:22,009
望而生畏的喜马拉雅山
the formidable Himalayas.
5
00:00:26,067 --> 00:00:29,031
中部是暴露在风中的寒冷荒地
Its central part is a windswept and freezing
6
00:00:29,031 --> 00:00:32,705
其面积与西欧相似
wilderness the size of Western Europe.
7
00:00:35,629 --> 00:00:39,659
难以置信,这个具有挑战性的地方竟然是野生动物的家园
But this challenging place is home to incredible wildlife.
8
00:00:40,682 --> 00:00:45,042
这里的大型生物比中国其它任何地方还要多
There are more large creatures here than anywhere else in China.
9
00:00:55,406 --> 00:00:59,236
西藏加入到新中国这个大家庭五十多年来
Tibet has been a province of China for more than 50 years,
10
00:00:59,709 --> 00:01:01,979
有着1000多年悠久历史的的藏传佛教
yet it has a unique character,
11
00:01:02,291 --> 00:01:05,531
依旧保持着她独特的风貌
shaped by over 1,000 years of Tibetan Buddhism.
12
00:01:10,657 --> 00:01:14,172
这个鲜为人知的散发着古老气息的宗教
This obscure and archaic-looking religion
13
00:01:14,355 --> 00:01:18,795
孕育了这个世界上最开明的文化
has produced one of the most enlightened cultures on Earth.
14
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:22,788
在这里,人们与自然界
Here,people have a long tradition of co-existing peacefully
15
00:01:22,788 --> 00:01:24,894
和谐相处的悠久传统
with the creatures and landscape around them,
16
00:01:26,662 --> 00:01:31,942
促进了对脆弱自然环境的有利保护
a relationship which has helped to protect their fragile environment.
17
00:01:35,826 --> 00:01:39,946
在这个节目中我们将展示这块承载着古老文化的厚重土地
In this programme we will discover why this harsh land with its ancient
18
00:01:40,212 --> 00:01:45,209
对我们的地球来说是多么的重要
culture is vitally important for much of our planet.

22
00:02:24,847 --> 00:02:27,055
初冬
It's the beginning of winter,
23
00:02:27,989 --> 00:02:30,509
高高的青藏高原之上
high up on the Tibetan plateau.
24
00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:38,870
气温会骤降到零下40摄氏度
The temperature will soon drop to minus 40 Celsius.
25
00:02:52,715 --> 00:02:59,081
在这里,生命中只剩下唯一的念头--求存
Out here,life is reduced to a single imperative - survival.
26
00:03:08,875 --> 00:03:12,785
对于这只盘羊,世界上最大的羊,而言
For the argali,the world's largest sheep,
27
00:03:12,821 --> 00:03:16,541
这就意味着寻找几簇草丛
it means searching for a few tufts of grass.
28
00:03:32,359 --> 00:03:35,829
从山顶到更低一些的地方
Descending from the hilltops to lower altitudes,
29
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:38,209
盘羊为了安全而团结在一起
the argali band together for safety.
30
00:03:41,328 --> 00:03:45,438
如果顺利的话,在这里能找到足够的食物
Hopefully, down here,they'll be able to find enough food
31
00:03:45,438 --> 00:03:47,386
以帮助它们熬过残冬
to last them through the rest of the winter.
32
00:04:01,685 --> 00:04:05,315
尽管冬的大地是如此的贫瘠与荒凉
Although this winter landscape looks barren and forbidden,
33
00:04:05,316 --> 00:04:10,189
西藏偏远的草地却养活着,种类多的令人吃惊的生物
Tibet's remote grasslands support a surprising variety of creatures.
34
00:04:11,046 --> 00:04:15,246
尽管每年的这个时候,难以寻觅它们的踪迹
Though at this time of year, they can be hard to track down.
35
00:04:39,657 --> 00:04:44,817
相比之下,西藏的首府拉萨却熙攘异常
By comparison,Tibet's capital,Lhasa,is a hive of activity.
36
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:52,243
拉萨是众多朝圣者的聚集地
Lhasa is a focus for large numbers of pilgrims
37
00:04:52,318 --> 00:04:54,711
他们每天在市内的庙宇相聚
who congregate at the city's temples each day.
38
00:05:00,278 --> 00:05:03,720
西藏供养着超过250万的人口
Tibet is home to over 2.5 million people,
39
00:05:04,764 --> 00:05:07,043
其中大部分都是虔诚的信徒
most of whom are deeply religious.
40
00:05:15,862 --> 00:05:20,732
尽管西藏的佛教徒倾心于精致复杂的庙宇,雕塑以及画像
Though Tibetan Buddhist worship centres on elaborate temples,statues and images,
41
00:05:21,203 --> 00:05:26,113
他们的信仰却和西藏的野生环境密切地交织在一起
its beliefs are intimately linked with the wild landscapes of Tibet.
42
00:05:44,850 --> 00:05:49,044
这种关系起源于
The starting point for that relationship is the mountain range
43
00:05:49,045 --> 00:05:51,882
蜿蜒在西藏南部边界的山脉
that runs along Tibet's southern border.
44
00:06:03,626 --> 00:06:06,656
喜马拉雅山脉的长度超过了3000千米
Over 3,000 kilometres long,
45
00:06:06,657 --> 00:06:10,441
是中国真正意义上的长城
the Himalayas are China's real Great Wall.
46
00:06:16,034 --> 00:06:20,954
有上百个山峰的海拔超过了7000米,其中十三个的海拔超过了8000米
With hundreds of peaks over 7,000 metres and 13 peaks
47
00:06:20,956 --> 00:06:25,555
是地球上最高的山峰
higher than 8,000 metres,they are the highest mountains on Earth.
48
00:06:39,542 --> 00:06:43,954
西藏地区有3万5千个以上的冰川
The Tibetan region contains over 35,000 glaciers
49
00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:47,857
覆盖了超过10万平方千米的土地
that cover over 100,000 square kilometres.
50
00:06:51,451 --> 00:06:55,808
组成了仅次于极地之外的最大的冰区
They comprise the largest area of ice outside the polar regions,
51
00:06:55,809 --> 00:06:59,123
其面积接近全球冰区总面积的六分之一
and nearly a sixth of the world's total.
52
00:07:04,083 --> 00:07:08,011
冰川是这个地区大部分水流的源头
These glaciers are the source of most of the water in the region.
53
00:07:11,721 --> 00:07:15,660
青藏高原上镶嵌着众多冰川湖
And the Tibetan plateau is studded with glacial lakes.
54
00:07:16,047 --> 00:07:20,488
坐落在西藏遥远西部海拔4500米处的玛旁雍错湖
At over 4,500 metres up,Lake Manasarovar
55
00:07:20,635 --> 00:07:25,859
是世界上海拔最高的淡水湖
in the far west of Tibet,is the highest freshwater lake in the world.
56
00:07:29,056 --> 00:07:33,246
晚春时节,寒冷的湖水吸引了很多繁衍的鸟儿
In late spring,the chilly lake waters are a magnet for breeding birds.
57
00:07:42,581 --> 00:07:46,581
这只冠毛给它同伴衔来了杂草,以此示爱
The crested grebe woos his mate with offerings of weed for her nest.
58
00:08:07,349 --> 00:08:11,229
最终,爱巢为它们的蜜月做好了准备
Finally the honeymoon suite is ready for action.
59
00:08:31,688 --> 00:08:35,445
除了，这里还有世界上飞的最高的鸟
The grebes are joined by the highest flying birds in the world.
60
00:08:36,021 --> 00:08:38,885
斑头鹤在喜马拉雅山的南面过冬
Having spent the winter south of the Himalayas,
61
00:08:39,010 --> 00:08:42,869
每年春天都要冒险飞越巅峰
bar-headed geese make the hazardous mountain crossing each spring
62
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:44,909
到高原的湖泊繁衍生息
to breed on the plateau's lakes.
63
00:09:07,802 --> 00:09:10,073
为了安全它们在一起筑巢
The geese nest together for safety.
64
00:09:10,289 --> 00:09:16,336
但如此多的小鸟同时孵出也就意味着，找到亲生父母是一个很棘手的问题
But so many chicks hatching at the same time means that it can be tricky finding your parents.
65
00:09:26,331 --> 00:09:28,669
幸运的是一旦到了水里
Fortunately,once down at the water's edge,
66
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:32,200
就能够找到足够的食物
there's enough food for all of them.
67
00:09:38,166 --> 00:09:40,142
凭借着高山冰川
Fed by the mountain glaciers,
68
00:09:40,216 --> 00:09:43,636
青藏高原甚至形成了自己的内陆湖
the Tibetan plateau even has its own inland sea.
69
00:09:52,014 --> 00:09:54,947
青海湖
This is Qinghai Lake,
70
00:09:55,445 --> 00:09:57,095
中国最大的内陆湖
China's largest.
71
00:10:04,118 --> 00:10:08,868
经过百万年的蒸发，矿物质浓缩了在湖中
Millions of years of evaporation have concentrated the minerals in the lake,
72
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:12,849
使水变得咸了
turning the water salty.
73
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,600
湖中丰富的鱼资源吸引了成千上万的鸬鹚
Rich in fish,its waters attract thousands of cormorants.
74
00:10:39,513 --> 00:10:43,333
西藏的湖泊不仅是野生动物的家园
But it's not just wildlife that values Tibet's lakes and seas.
75
00:10:44,391 --> 00:10:47,791
其间的水也使得人类的生命得以延续
Their life-giving waters are also important to people.
76
00:10:51,444 --> 00:10:55,560
西藏的宗教是佛教以及曾经在此地广为流传的
Tibetan religion is a unique mix of Buddhism and much older
77
00:10:55,561 --> 00:10:59,804
古老萨满教的独特的混合体
Shamanic beliefs that were once widespread throughout the region.
78
00:11:00,765 --> 00:11:06,146
这种混合信仰构成了，他们与自然独特关系的基础
This hybrid religion forms the basis of an extraordinary relationship with nature.
79
00:11:09,918 --> 00:11:14,404
在萨满教义中，这片土地被赋予了魔力
In Shamanic belief,the land is imbued with magical properties
80
00:11:14,405 --> 00:11:17,187
使之能够帮助与精神世界进行交流
which aid communication with the spirit world.
81
00:11:23,303 --> 00:11:28,744
在这里动物的头骨被装饰起来
岩石也刻上了神圣的曼特拉(传统的颂歌)
Here animal skulls are decorated,and rocks are carved with sacred mantras,
82
00:11:29,263 --> 00:11:33,343
人们认为那些音节拥有精神的力量
groups of syllables that are considered to have spiritual power.
83
00:11:36,850 --> 00:11:40,491
也相信诵读这些曼特拉能够产生魔音
The reciting of the mantras is believed to create a magical sound
84
00:11:40,553 --> 00:11:43,163
在宇宙中回响
that reverberates through the universe.
85
00:11:46,271 --> 00:11:49,421
大地被分别代表了金木水火土五种元素的
The landscape is decorated with multi-coloured flags which
86
00:11:49,671 --> 00:11:56,456
多彩的经幡装饰着
represent the five elements - fire,wood,earth,water and iron.
87
00:11:57,851 --> 00:12:02,737
经幡上印着祷文用以净化空气，安抚神灵
The flags are printed with prayers to purify the air and pacify the gods,
88
00:12:03,314 --> 00:12:06,834
而风会把这些祈祷带向天堂。
and the wind blows the prayers to heaven.
89
00:12:12,488 --> 00:12:17,688
番杆经常会被换上新的经幡
The poles on which the prayer flags are mounted are regularly replenished with fresh flags.
90
00:12:17,992 --> 00:12:22,982
那些最接近番杆顶部的旧经幡很是珍贵
The old flags are treasured. Those nearest the top of the pole
91
00:12:23,136 --> 00:12:28,461
经幡更是象征着吉祥如意，所以经幡的争夺可能会很激烈
are the most auspicious,so competition for these can get fierce!
92
00:12:46,531 --> 00:12:49,973
固定在番杆顶部的金顶
The golden dome,which is mounted right at the top of the prayer pole,
93
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,640
是所有物体当中最神圣的
is the most sacred object of all.
94
00:12:55,250 --> 00:12:58,330
至少一旦它被降下来之后是这样
Or it will be,once it's retrieved.
95
00:13:10,003 --> 00:13:15,289
古老的萨满教把魔力归功于这片土地
The old Shamanic beliefs of Tibet ascribed magical powers to the landscape.
96
00:13:17,855 --> 00:13:20,910
但这里还有更多可以被感知的力量源泉
But there's a far more tangible source of power here
97
00:13:21,291 --> 00:13:24,325
却和魔法没有一点关系
which owes nothing at all to magic.
98
00:13:27,660 --> 00:13:31,180
散布于高原上的是滚烫的温泉
Strewn across the plateau are boiling thermal springs,
99
00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:35,310
作为浑厚的自然力量存在的证据
the evidence of mighty natural forces
100
00:13:35,311 --> 00:13:38,268
活跃于此已有数百万年的历史
which have been at work over millions of years.
101
00:13:39,932 --> 00:13:42,644
在地底深处
Deep below the surface,the vast continental plates
102
00:13:42,645 --> 00:13:45,725
巨大的亚洲板块和印度板块互相撞击
of Asia and India are crashing into each other.
103
00:13:47,395 --> 00:13:51,355
地下的混乱状态使大量含硫的蒸汽喷薄而出
The turmoil below erupts in clouds of sulphurous steam.
104
00:13:55,999 --> 00:14:00,376
由滚烫的矿物泉来孕育生命，听起来并不太可能
It seems unlikely that scalding mineral springs should support life.
105
00:14:01,331 --> 00:14:05,240
但确实有种不寻常的生物因之而繁衍兴旺
But one unlikely creature thrives here precisely because of them.
106
00:14:15,650 --> 00:14:18,573
这种温泉蛇是西藏所特有的
The hot spring snake is unique to Tibet
107
00:14:19,179 --> 00:14:21,748
人们把它在高原艰苦环境存活下来的原因
and is believed to have survived the inhospitable conditions up
108
00:14:22,038 --> 00:14:26,571
主要归功于这里的天然地热
on the plateau principally thanks to this natural central heating.
109
00:14:30,088 --> 00:14:34,336
这些冷血的蛇在由温泉形成的溪流中游弋
These cold-blooded snakes hang out in streams and rivers which are fed
110
00:14:34,337 --> 00:14:39,269
在温泉中它们无忧无虑的生活着
by the hot springs,where they enjoy a surprisingly productive lifestyle.
111
00:14:47,391 --> 00:14:53,991
滑进温暖的水中耐心地等待，脑袋在水面上下疾动，静等鱼儿上钩
Slipping into the warm water,they wait patiently,bobbing their heads on the look-out for fish.
112
00:15:13,968 --> 00:15:18,612
多亏了与形成喜马拉雅山火山的不寻常关系
Thanks to its unlikely relationship with the volcanic forces which built the Himalayas,
113
00:15:18,613 --> 00:15:21,263
温泉蛇才得以生存在
the hot spring snake is able to survive.
114
00:15:21,264 --> 00:15:24,616
海拔4500米的地方
at altitudes up to 4,500 metres,
115
00:15:25,307 --> 00:15:28,787
这使它成为了世界上生存于最高海拔地区的蛇
making it the highest-living snake in the world.
116
00:15:37,139 --> 00:15:40,545
亚洲和印度板块之间的缓慢冲撞
The slow-motion crash between Asia and India
117
00:15:40,719 --> 00:15:43,679
已经持续了3千万年之久
has been going on for 30 million years.
118
00:15:46,524 --> 00:15:51,749
喜马拉雅山脉就是这两个大陆板块撞击后的结果
The Himalayas are the crumple-zone created by these two colliding landmasses,
119
00:15:52,085 --> 00:15:55,165
由山脉与河谷组建而成的迷宫
a bewildering maze of mountains and valleys,
120
00:15:55,216 --> 00:15:57,346
供养着各种难以捉摸的野生动物
home to elusive wild creatures.
121
00:16:03,305 --> 00:16:05,959
在这个多岩的恶劣环境中
In this rugged and unforgiving terrain,
122
00:16:06,381 --> 00:16:09,501
散落着各种碎石和冰冷的河流
littered with fractured rock and ice cold rivers,
123
00:16:09,502 --> 00:16:13,823
极微小的失误也可能导致致命的后果
the slightest miscalculation may have fatal consequences.
124
00:16:18,372 --> 00:16:22,572
雪豹是世界上生存于最高海拔地区的猫科动物
The snow leopard is the world's highest-living big cat.
125
00:16:24,635 --> 00:16:27,719
但这里还有一种更小的食肉动物，它居住在海拔更高的地方
But there's another,smaller predator that ranges even higher,
126
00:16:28,593 --> 00:16:31,273
几乎是在世界之巅
almost to the roof of the world.
127
00:16:39,761 --> 00:16:44,169
在令人目眩的海拔8848米的高度看
At a mind-numbing 8,848 metres high,
128
00:16:44,611 --> 00:16:49,571
珠穆朗玛峰是地球上最危险的地方之一
Everest is one of the most hostile places for life on Earth.
129
00:16:50,490 --> 00:16:53,770
数百人在试图征服它的尝试中死于非命
Hundreds of people have died trying to conquer it.
130
00:16:55,473 --> 00:16:58,641
但当攀登者们第一次完成登山之路的四分之三时
But when climbers first reached the ice fields three quarters of the way
131
00:16:58,642 --> 00:17:02,735
一种生物早已在这方面打败了他们
up the mountain,something had already beaten them to it.
132
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:10,919
这种跳蜘蛛是地球上海拔最高地区的永久居住民
This jumping spider is the highest permanent resident on the planet.
133
00:17:10,940 --> 00:17:14,260
在珠穆朗玛峰的冰川之中
Totally at home amongst the glaciers of Everest,
134
00:17:14,392 --> 00:17:18,342
它在斜坡上四处搜索靠风飞行的猎物，比如弹尾虫
it scours the slopes for wind-borne prey such as springtails.
135
00:17:18,820 --> 00:17:23,249
中国人把这种小而凶猛的猎食者称为“飞虎”
