The Monarch's Journey
帝王蝶的旅程
Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year.This annual movement is called migration.They migrate to find food, seek a partner, or in search of warmer weather. One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.
许多动物在一年中的某些时候会从一个地方迁移到另一个地方。这种年度迁移被称为迁徙。它们迁徙是为了寻找食物、寻找伴侣,或者是为了寻找更温暖的天气。在自然界中,最壮观的迁徙之一是北美帝王蝶的迁徙。
Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4,000 kilometres south and find their way to California or Mexico.However, until recently no one knew how they did this.
每年秋天,数百万只拥有精致的黑色和橙色翅膀的美丽昆虫开始一段漫长而艰难的旅程。不知怎的,它们设法向南旅行大约4000公里,并找到前往加利福尼亚或墨西哥的路。然而,直到最近,没有人知道它们是如何做到这一点的。
A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer.They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day.It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun.These two pieces of information-the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky-allow the butterfly to determine the way to go. Eventually,it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
由华盛顿大学的Eli Shlizerman教授领导的一组科学家现在已经找到了答案。他们发现,帝王蝶能够判断一天中的时间。它使用眼睛来测量太阳的位置。这两项信息——一天中的时间和太阳在天空中的位置——使蝴蝶能够确定前进的方向。最终,它设法到达它将度过冬天的地方。
The solution to the mystery of the monarch's amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.Its population has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment. They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.
解决帝王蝶惊人能力之谜的时机,正值其陷入严重困境之时。在过去几年中,其种群数量已经暴跌了高达90%。遗憾的是,人类活动是导致君主蝶数量下降的主要原因。在许多可以找到这种蝴蝶的地方,人们正在破坏自然环境。他们砍伐树木并使用化学物质,这些化学物质会杀死帝王蝶幼虫所食用的植物。
The research on the monarch's behaviour has however led to a greater awareness of this creature.People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on.If this works,there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again.The more we know about this lovely creature,the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.
关于帝王蝶行为的研究已经提高了人们对这种生物的认识。人们正在共同努力记录其迁徙,并确保有足够的植物供其食用。如果这能成功,可能会有那么一天,帝王蝶的数量再次增加。我们对这种可爱生物了解得越多,它在自然界中生存并保持其地位的机会就越大。

An Encounter with Nature
与自然的邂逅
As a nature photographer,I have to brave the elements.But despite the wind and the rain,I still enjoy working outside in the wild.One of the best things about this job is that you can observe animals in their natural environment.
作为一名自然摄影师,我必须勇敢面对自然的挑战。但即便有风有雨,我仍然享受在野外工作。这份工作最棒的事情之一就是能够在它们的自然环境中观察动物。
My favourite place to take photos is Yellowstone National Park.As the world's first national park,Yellowstone is famous for the variety of its wildlife,but it is probably best known for its bears.These huge,strong animals can live for 30 years. Despite a weight of up to 300 kilograms,they can run at a speed of around 64 kilometres per hour and are also excellent swimmers.
我最喜欢拍照的地方是黄石国家公园。作为世界上第一个国家公园,黄石因其野生动物种类繁多而闻名,但可能最著名的还是它的熊。这些巨大、强壮的动物可以活到30岁。尽管体重可达300公斤,它们的奔跑速度可以达到每小时大约64公里,并且还是出色的游泳者。
Last spring in Yellowstone,I followed a path that took me through a dark forest. When I finally stepped out of the trees,the view was breathtaking.An eagle flew over the snow-capped mountains,which were reflected in the still lake below.While I was concentrating on photographing this amazing scene,I suddenly had a feeling that I was being watched. Slowly, and with the camera still held to my eye,I turned..and froze.Only metres away from me was a bear.With water falling off its thick,brown hair,the bear stared back at me.Time stood still as the bear and I both waited to see who would move first.My legs started shaking.Somehow, I forced my finger to press the button.A second later,the bear turned and ran back into the forest. When I recovered from the shock,I looked at my camera.My most frightening but magical experience was now captured forever in a single image.
去年春天在黄石公园,我沿着一条小径穿过了一片幽暗的森林。当我最终走出树林时,眼前的景色令人屏息。一只鹰在被雪覆盖的山峰上空飞翔,山峰的倒影映在下面静止的湖面上。当我全神贯注地拍摄这惊人场景时,突然有种感觉,觉得自己正在被注视。我慢慢地,手里还拿着相机,转过身……然后僵住了。离我只有几米远的地方有一只熊。水珠从它浓密的棕色毛发上滴落,熊回望着我。时间仿佛静止了,熊和我都等待着看谁会先动。我的腿开始颤抖。不知怎的,我强迫自己的手指按下了快门。一秒钟后,熊转身跑回了森林。当我从震惊中恢复过来,我看了看我的相机。我最可怕但又神奇的经历现在被永远定格在了一张照片中。
From time to time I look at the photo as a reminder to show respect to all animals.It is after all we who are the visitors to their world.
时不时地,我会看这张照片,以此提醒自己要对所有动物表示尊重。毕竟,我们才是他们世界的访客。
