歌词
The hot spring snake is unique to Tibet
这种温泉蛇 是西藏所特有的
And is believed to have survived the inhospitable conditions up on the plateau
人们坚信 它在高原艰苦环境存活下来的原因
principally thanks to this natural central heating.
主要归功于 这里的天然地热
These cold-blooded snakes hang out in streams and rivers
这些冷血的蛇 在由温泉形成的
which are fed by the hot springs
溪流中游弋
Where they enjoy a surprisingly productive lifestyle.
在温泉中 它们无忧无虑的生活着
Slipping into the warm water,they wait patiently
滑进温暖的水中 耐心地等待
Bobbing their heads on the look-out for fish.
脑袋在水面上下移动 静待鱼儿上钩
Thanks to its unlikely relationship
正由于它与
with the volcanic forces which built the Himalayas
形成喜马拉雅山的火山 有着不寻常关系
The hot spring snake is able to survive at altitudes up to 4,500 metres
温泉蛇才得以生存在 海拔4500米的地方
Making it the highest-living snake in the world.
这使它成为了世界上过着最奢侈的生活的蛇
The slow-motion crash between Asia and India
亚洲和印度板块之间的缓慢运动
has been going on for 30 million years.
已经持续了3千万年之久
The Himalayas are the crumple-zone created by these two colliding landmasses
喜马拉雅山脉 就是这两个大陆板块撞击后的结果
A bewildering maze of mountains and valleys, home to elusive wild creatures.
它是一个错综复杂的山峦和山谷 也是各种稀有野生动物的家园
In this rugged and unforgiving terrain
在这个多岩的恶劣环境中
Littered with fractured rock and ice cold rivers
散落着各种碎石和冰冷的河流
The slightest miscalculation may have fatal consequences.
极微小的失误也可能导致致命的后果
