对云南南部的农民而言 冬末是个繁忙的季节

云南的梯田是中国最古老人类耕作痕迹中

正如千百年来的习俗一样

源自云南河谷的家养水牛承担了耕作的重任

54
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,900
这片人力开拓的土地是工业化前中国最惊奇宏伟的壮景
This man-made landscape is one of the most amazing engineering feats of preindustrial China
55
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,800
似乎这里的每一寸土地
It seems as if every square inch of land
56
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,400
都被打上了农耕的痕迹
has been pressed into cultivation
57
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,800
当薄暮降临
As evening approaches
58
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:26,300
另一场古老的仪式上演
an age-old ritual unfolds
59
00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:29,600
现在是交配的季节
It's the mating season
60
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000
雄禾田蛙们为了吸引异性而卖力高鸣
and male paddy frogs are competing for the attention of females
61
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,400
但这并非总能为你吸引来关注的目光
But it dosen't always pay to draw too much attention to youself
62
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,600
中国池鹭是个饕餮掠食者
The Chinese Pond Heron is a crapulous predator
63
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:01,100
就算在耕作过的稻田中央
Even in the middle of a ploughed paddy field
64
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,300
也会上演喙与爪的血腥剧目
<i>nature is red in beak and claw
65
00:07:15,550 --> 00:07:17,300
或许这看上去像一场屠杀
This may look like a slaughter
66
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,900
但每只池鹭一次只能吞噬一只蛙
but as each heron can swallow only one frog at a time
67
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,500
此时剩余的多数派得以逃生并获得了明日再度高歌的机会
the vast majority will escape to croak another day
68
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:35,000
元阳县这样广泛种植水稻的
Terrace paddies like those of YunYang county are found across much of southern China
69
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:40,500
梯田横贯中国南部
This whole vast landscape is dominated by rice cultivation
70
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:51,000
苗族人在炎热的贵州发展了高度发达的水稻种植
In heated Guizhou province the Miao minority have developed a remarkable rice culture
71
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:57,200
苗族人把木屋建立在陡峭低产的山壁上
With every inch of fertile land given over to rice cultivation
72
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:03,400
用其余每寸丰饶的土地来种植水稻
the Miao build their wooden houses on the steepest and least productive hillsides
73
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:09,200
所有东西在中国农村都自有其用处
In Chinese rural life everything has a use
74
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,500
牛棚里的肥料在太阳下晒干用作煮饭的燃料
dried in the sun manure from the cowsheds would be used as cooking fuel
75
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,990
中午时分 宋家人正饱餐以米和蔬菜为主的中饭
It's midday and the Song family are
tucking into a lunch of rice and vegetables
76
00:08:37,999 --> 00:08:40,400
老祖父宋古永置身于天伦之乐外
Oblivious to the domestic chitchat
77
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,600
寻思着重要的事情
granddad Guyong Song has serious maters on his mind
78
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,600
春季是稻禾生长的伊始时节
Spring is a start of the rice growing season
79
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:53,000
庄稼的长势决定了来年宋家人的生计
the success of the crop will determin how well the family will eat next year
80
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,100
因而选择合适的时机进行耕作是至关重要的
so planting at the right time is critical
81
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,300
时机的选择取决于当年的天气情况
The ideal date depends on what the weather will do this year
82
00:09:00,990 --> 00:09:02,400
而这些却是永难估料的
never easy to predict
83
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,700
但是身边就存在着贴心小帮手
But there is some surprising help at hand
84
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,200
宋家厅堂房梁上的是一对刚从冬季迁徙中归来的金腰燕
On the cielling of the Song's living room
a pair of red-rumped swallow newly arrive from their winter migration
85
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,600
他们正在为装潢新一年度的宅邸而忙碌
is busy fixing up last year's nest
86
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:26,300
在中国 动物们被赋予独特的象征意义并被细心呵护
In China animals are valued does much for their symbolic meaning as for many good they may do
87
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,700
苗族人笃信成双燕终身相伴不离不弃
Miao people believe that swallow pairs remain faithful for life
88
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,800
因此他们的存在被视为
so their presence is a favor and a blessing
89
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:41,000
幸福生活与美满婚姻的象征
bringing happiness to a marriage and good luck to a home
90
00:09:42,890 --> 00:09:47,600
如大多数苗人一样 宋家起居室的窗子可以眺望见成片的梯田
Like most Miao dwellings, the Song's living room windows look out over the paddy fields
91
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:54,000
从早春起 一扇窗子便为了方便燕子往返穿飞而敞开
From early spring, one of these windows is always left open to let the swallows come and go freely
92
00:09:57,700 --> 00:10:02,400
古老爹知晓每年燕子归来的确切时间
Each year granddad Gu knows the exact day the swallows return
93
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,400
苗族人坚信这些鸟儿的归来预示着春季的来临
Miao people believe the birds arrival predicts the timing of a season ahead
94
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,500
然而今年 他们姗姗来迟
This year, they were late
95
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:18,900
因而古老爹和其他族中长老一致认为今年的插秧应当推迟
so Gu and the other community elders have agreed that rice planting should be delayed accordingly
96
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:31,400
当苗族人为了插秧而整备田地时
As the Miao prepare their fields for planting
97
00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:34,900
燕子们或搜集修整巢穴用的泥巴
the swallows collect mud to repair their nests
98
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:38,400
或穿越新耕的稻田追逐昆虫
and chase after insects across the newly ploughed paddies
99
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:12,300
最终 经过了几周的准备
Finally, after weeks of preparation
100
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:15,400
这个预定种植的时刻来临了
the ordained time for planting has arrived
101
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,600
首先 秧苗必须从苗床上连根拔起
but first the seedlings must be uproot from the nursery beds
102
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:23,400
扎成捆移植到高处山地
and bundled up ready to be transported to their new paddy
103
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:24,900
那崭新的苗床上
higher up the hillside
104
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,400
宋家邻里乡亲全员出动帮助移植
All the Song's neighbors have turned out to help with the transplanting
105
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,200
这是一直来他们的集体协作方式
It's how the community has always worked
106
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,600
当然一旦时刻来临 宋家人也会做出相同行为来报恩
when the time comes, the Songs will return the favor
107
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,000
当农户们忙碌在田埂间时
While the farmers are busy in the fields
108
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,700
飞燕们则衔着修整巢穴的材料来来往往
the swallows fly back and forth with material for their nest
109
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:11,400
人多力量大
Many hands make light work
110
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:15,300
插秧的整个过程只持续了仅一个多小时
planting the new paddy takes a little more than an hour
111
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,000
当工作完成 农户们得以休息
Job done, the villagers can relax
112
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,600
至少在明天来临之前
at least until tomorrow
113
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,300
然而对这些筑巢的飞鸟而言 修筑家园的宏大工程
But for the nesting swallows, the work of raising a family
114
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,500
才刚刚开始
has only just begun
115
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,000
新耕种的田地里
In the newly planted fields
116
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,400
白鹭在寻找食物
little egrets hunt for foods
117
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:04,800
稻田成了虫 鱼 蝌蚪的乐园
The rice paddy harbor tadpoles fish and insects
118
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,400
而白鹭正好以此哺育幼鸟
and egrets have chicks to feed
119
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:13,600
重庆自然保护区建立于1996年
This colony in Chongqing province is established in 1996
120
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:19,000
当成群的鸟儿安家在阳光村后方的小竹林
when a few dozen birds build nests in the
bamboo grove behind YanGuang village
121
00:13:20,990 --> 00:13:22,400
当地人将其视为幸运的使者
Believing they were assigned of luck
122
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:27,100
他们最初小心保护这些白鹭和他们的栖息地
local people initially protected the egrets and the colony grove
123
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,500
但当村长病重后他们的态度发生了转变
But their attitude change when the head of the village fell ill
124
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:38,300
当政府开始介入保护鸟群时
They blame the birds and were all set to destroy their nests
125
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,000
他们开始敌视鸟群并着手摧毁巢穴
when the local government stepped in to protect them
126
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:55,000
易弯曲的竹子或许并非安家的最佳场所
Bendy bamboo may not be the safest nesting place
127
00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:59,400
但至少这些小家伙们不会成为捕食者的腹中餐
but at least these youngsters won't end up at someone's dinner
128
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:15,000
这些小家伙刚从母亲嘴里分得美食
These chicks have just had a meal delivered by their mom
129
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:17,700
对新生的小嘴着实是一大挑战
quite a challenge for litter beaks
130
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
介于他们的栖息地是受保护的
Providing their colonies are protected
131
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:38,400
像白鹭这样的候鸟是少数直接从发达的水稻种植中获益的鸟类
wading birds like egrets are among the few wild creatures which benefit directly from intensive rice cultivation
132
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
水稻生长需要大量的水
Growing rice needs lots of water
133
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:50,400
但即便是在多雨的南方 有些土地也面临缺水的危机
but even in the rainy south, there are landscapes where water is surprisingly scarce
134
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:58,000
相当于法国和西班牙国土加起来那么大
This vast area of southwest China
135
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,600
的中国西南的广阔土地
the size of France and Spain combined
136
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:03,500
因为宛如被干燥中空的谷地隔离开来的巨大蛋盒般
is famous for its clusters of conical hills
137
00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:10,000
连绵的锥形山脉而闻名于世
like giant upturned egg carton
seperated by dry empty valleys
138
00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:15,400
这就是喀斯特地貌
This is the karst
139
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,400
石灰石地貌俨然成为南部中国的标志性特征
a limestone terrain which has become the defining image of southern China
140
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,000
