与海怪同行（2007）

The female’s flipper is slowly healing
鲨鱼的牙逐渐被疤痕组织包围
the embedded tooth now surrounded scar tissue
小母龙捕食些富含蛋白质的乌贼
The young female is drawn away by a potential meal of squid
有一只逃到海百页的领地
One escapes among a colony of crinoids
他们是海星的古生亲戚
prehistoric relatives of sea stars-
随洋流从下方飘过
perhaps swept up from the bottom by currents
小母龙就怎么闯入海王龙的视线
The female has put herself directly in the sights of a giant
从已出土的骨骼中可看出
Taking the exposed parts of the skeleton together-
这个物种身长约二十九英尺
skull to tail- I make the specimen about a 29-footer
是的
Yeah
胃里有东西
There’s something in the stomach
他们找到了他的最后一餐
They had found the monster’s last meal
裹在他的肋骨里
entombed within its ribs
因为长喙龙游得很快
Because dollies are fast
海王龙只能寄望突然袭击
a tylosaur’s best bet is to catch one by surprise
小母龙逃过一劫
The female escapes
可她哥哥没有意识到危险正步步逼近
But her brother doesn’t see the danger coming
斯滕伯格先生发现已被时光风尘的
The Sternbergs had discovered a story locked in time
两只古生物的生命交集
of two ancient lives intersecting
可为什么
But why did the predator
猎食者在吃掉长喙龙后不久就死了呢
die so soon after eating the dolly?
海王龙很可能有很强的领地观念
Tylosaurs were likely territorial and aggressive even with each other
也许一只年长的海王龙突然出现
Perhaps an older tylosaur suddenly appeared
年轻的海王龙受到惊吓
The younger tylosaur is threatened and tiring
急忙咽下一整只长喙龙
slowed down by the large meal in his stomach
将小母龙抛诸脑后
The female dolly is forgotten
年轻海王龙受了致命伤
The younger tylosaur is mortally wounded
但他的故事还没结束
But his story isn’t over
他的最终命运被刻入岩石
His final fate was recorded in stone
一只鲨鱼牙齿在化石附近
A shark’s tooth lay near the fossil
来看这个
Look at this
小母龙回到群里
The female moves on with the others
残酷的杀戮即将上演
Soon the scavenging will begin
小母龙目睹母亲和哥哥的死去
The young dolly has seen the deaths of her mother and brother
活了下来
but she survived
每年 海兽会汇聚
Each year marine reptiles gather again
浅滩生儿育女
in the birthing grounds of the shallows
其中一只鳍上带伤
Among them is the dolly with the wounded flipper
她已经长大成熟
now fully grown
完成了漫长的旅途 她回到出生地
She’s completed her journey and returned to the waters of her birth
过了几季 她当上了妈妈
And after several seasons she becomes a mother
她的孩子会更大更壮
Her young will grow larger and stronger
有朝一日 他们也会展开自己的内海之旅
and one day set out on their own journey through the inland sea
日复一日 年复一年
Day by day month by month
生命延续
life plays out
她看着孩子们慢慢长大成熟
She sees several litters of her offspring mature
开始自己生活
and depart on lives of their own
终有一天
Eventually
这位母亲再也没有力气展开另一段旅程
a year comes when the mother can’t finish the migration
在一个平静的日子里
One quiet day
岁月已经耗尽她的精力
when old age has weakened her body
她的平静地走了
her life comes to a gentle end
数百万年的季节更替
Millions of years’ worth of days and nights and seasons pass
她始终留在这里
as she lies undisturbed
海平面起起伏伏
Sea levels rise and fall
陆地迁移
Around the world continents shift
火山活动不断塑造新的地形
and volcanic activity changes the face of the Earth
旧物种灭绝 新物种诞生
New species appear and old species vanish-
连海中霸王也渐渐绝迹
including the last of the sea monsters
在不断变幻的陆地之下
Beneath the shifting land
时光将海兽的骸骨化为岩石
the remains of the great ocean reptiles are turned by time into rock
巴迪
Buddy!
– 直到有天重见天日 -巴迪
– And lie hidden until exposed- Buddy!
是这场夏天的大雨
This time by a summer rain
这也许是完整标本
It might be a complete specimen
我怎么把他弄出来
How are we gonna take it out?
我们也许必须用石膏处理 封套取出
We may have to plaster the whole thing and take it out in a jacket
快来看
Hey Come check this out
有只鳍很不寻常
There was something unusual about one of the rear flippers-
一只鲨鱼的牙齿嵌在骨头中
a shark’s tooth embedded between the bones
八千二百万年后
After 82 million years
雌长喙龙回来讲述她的故事
the female Dolichorhynchops has returned to tell her story
地下还埋藏着无数的生物遗迹
There are countless other creatures still buried within the layers of the Earth-
等待我们发现
waiting for us to find them
等待我们倾听他们讲述那时的世界
waiting to tell us stories of our world when it was theirs
