纪录片《鸟瞰地球》第二集欧洲 解说词 字幕

《大国崛起》解说词（第二集）作者：CCTV出处：CCTV 发布时间：2006-11-21 5:04:56文字〖大中小〗自动滚屏（右键暂停）三百年前的荷兰，却是整个世界的经济中心和最富庶的地区第二集：小国大业（荷兰）【序】在欧洲西北部，有一个和英国隔海相望的国家，它的面积只相当于今天的两个半北京，它的名字叫做荷兰。

在八百年以前，这里是一片没有人烟，只有海潮出没的湿地和湖泊。

从12世纪到14世纪，才逐步形成了人类可以居住的土地。

直到今天，荷兰仍有三分之一的国土位于海平面以下。

如果没有一系列复杂的水利设施阻挡，荷兰人口最稠密的地区，每天将被潮汐淹没两次。

就是这样一个地方，在三百年前，也就是17世纪的时候，却是整个世界的经济中心和最富庶的地区。

一个仅有150万人口的荷兰，将自己的势力几乎延伸到地球的每一个角落，被马克思称为当时的“海上第一强国”。

荷兰人创造奇迹的故事，应该从什么地方开始叙述呢？大国崛起第二集小国大业大海总是在最平静的地方掀起波涛。

历史像大海，总是在最让人意想不到的地方创造奇迹。

荷兰人崛起的故事，是从银白色的鲱鱼开始的。

由于海流的变化，每到夏季，就有大批的鲱鱼洄游到荷兰北部的沿海区域。

荷兰人每年可以从北海中捕获超过1000万公斤的鲱鱼。

荷兰北方航海博物馆馆长维歇尔·克尔克迈尔：它对荷兰的经济太重要了，很多人以此为生来挣钱。

14世纪时，荷兰的人口不到100万。

当时约有20万人从事捕鱼业，小小的鲱鱼为五分之一的荷兰人提供了生计。

但是，鲱鱼是一种自然资源，造物主并没有给荷兰人独享的权利。

生活在北海边的其他民族，都组织了捕捞鲱鱼的船队。

为了争夺渔场，荷兰人和苏格兰人之间曾爆发过三次战争。

是什么力量使得荷兰在激烈的竞争中脱颖而出呢？1358年，在荷兰北部的一个小渔村中，一个名叫威廉姆·伯克尔斯宗的渔民发明了只需一刀就可以除去鱼肠子的方法。

荷兰莱顿大学历史系教授威廉·范德莫伦：把鲱鱼的肚子剖开，把内脏取出，把头去掉，然后把盐放在里面，这样可以保存一年多的时间，那时候没有冰箱，这种方法很独特，所以，那就是为什么荷兰的鲱鱼能够在全欧洲畅销，特别是英格兰。

专题片领航第二集解说词《专题片领航》第二集的解说词将围绕着以下主题展开，人类探索与发展的历程、科技创新与社会进步、环境保护与可持续发展。

以下是对这些主题的多角度全面回答。

首先，人类探索与发展的历程是人类文明进步的重要组成部分。

从古代的航海探险到现代的太空探索，人类一直在探索未知领域，寻找新的知识和资源。

这种探索精神推动了科学、技术和文化的发展，为人类社会带来了巨大的变革。

其次，科技创新与社会进步密不可分。

科技的不断进步推动了社会的发展和进步。

从工业革命到信息时代，科技创新为人们的生活带来了便利和改变。

例如，互联网的普及改变了人们的信息获取方式和社交方式，人工智能的发展改变了工业生产和服务行业。

科技创新不仅提高了生产力，也改善了人们的生活质量。

环境保护与可持续发展是当今社会面临的重要挑战。

随着工业化和城市化的快速发展，环境污染和资源消耗成为了全球性问题。

为了保护地球家园，人们开始关注可持续发展，即在满足当前需求的同时保护和维护自然资源。

这需要全球合作和创新的解决方案，包括减少碳排放、推广可再生能源、改善环境管理等。

此外，专题片还可以探讨人类的文化多样性和社会问题。

人类社会由不同的文化和价值观构成，这些文化的传承和交流对于人类的发展和和谐共处至关重要。

同时，社会问题如贫困、教育不公等也是我们需要关注和解决的重要议题。

综上所述，第二集的解说词将从人类探索与发展的历程、科技创新与社会进步、环境保护与可持续发展等多个角度全面展示人类社会的发展和面临的挑战。

这将为观众提供一个全面了解和思考的视角，促进人们对于未来的思考和行动。

[纪录⽚]鸟瞰中国——ChinafromAbove上周末我看了⼀部纪录⽚《鸟瞰中国》，觉得特别有意思，想要分享给你。

制作背景《鸟瞰中国》是由中国五洲传播中⼼与美国国家地理频道联合拍摄的纪录⽚，由KNNY PNG、KLAUS TOFT联合执导。

鸟瞰中国第一季第二集英文解说词As we continue our journey through China, we find ourselves in the captivating city of Chengdu. Situated in the heart of the Sichuan province, this city is known for its rich history, unique culture, and delicious cuisine.Chengdu is a city that has always been on the forefront of innovation and technology. In fact, it is home to China's first satellite launch center, the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. As we soar through the skies, we can see the breathtaking beauty of this launch center, which has launched many satellites into space since its establishment in 1970.Our journey now takes us to the magnificent Mount Emei. Standing at 3,099 meters, this mountain is not only a famous tourist attraction but also holds significant religious and cultural significance. As we ascend the mountain, we can see the beautiful scenery of the surrounding areas and appreciate the hard work and determination required to reach the summit.Our final stop on this journey is the captivating city of Guilin. Located in the Guangxi province, Guilin is known for its unique karst landscape and beautiful rivers. As we soar through the skies, we can see the stunning scenery of these mountains and rivers, which have been etched into the landscape over thousands of years.Throughout our journey, we have witnessed the beauty, diversity, and rich history of China. From the modern cities to the ancient mountains and rivers, this country is truly a land of contrasts and wonders. As we bid farewell to this beautiful country, we hope that you have fallen in love with China as much as we have.。

2. MountainsHuman beings venture into the highest parts of our planet at their peril. Some might think that by climbing a great mountain they have somehow conquered it, but we can only be visitors here. This is a frozen alienworld. This is the other extreme - one of the lowest hottest places onEarth. It's over a hundred metres below the level of the sea. But herea mountain is in gestation. Pools of sulphuric acid are indications that deep underground there are titanic stirrings. This is the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia, lying within a colossal rent of the earth'ssurface where giant land masses are pulling away from one another. Lavarises to the surface through this crack in the crust creating a chain ofyoung volcanoes. This one, Erta Ale, is today the longest continuallyerupting volcano on the planet, a lake of lava that has been molten forover a hundred years. These same v olcanic forces also created Ethiopia's highlands. 70 million years ago this land was just as flat and as deepas the Danakil Depression. Molten lava rising from the earth's core forced up a huge dome o f rock 500 miles wide, the roof of Africa. Over millennia, rain and ice carved the rock into a landscape of spires and canyons. These summits, nearly 3 miles up, are home t o some v ery remarkable mountaineers Gelada baboons. They are unique to the highlands of Ethiopia. The cliffs where they sleep are for expert climbers only, and Gelado certainly have the right equipment. the strongest fingers of any primate and an utterly fearless disposition. But you need more than a head for heights to survive up here. A day in a Gelado's life reveals how t hey've risen to the challenge. For all monkeys m orning is grooming time, a chance to catch up with friends. But, unlike other monkeys, Gelados chatter constantly while they do it.It's a great way to network while your hands are busy. But these socialscan't go on for too long. Gelados have a busy daily schedule and there'swork to be done. Most monkeys couldn't live up here. There's no food andfew insects to feed on. But Gelados are unique they're the only monkeysin the world that live almost entirely on grass. They live in the largest assemblies formed by any monkeys. Some groups are 800 strong and they crop the high meadows like herds of wildebeest. The Gelados graze alongsideWalia ibex, which are also unique to these highlands. These rare creatures are usually very shy but they drop their guard when t he Gelados are around. You might expect that grazers would avoid each other's patch but this isa special alliance from which both partners benefit. It's not so riskyto put your head down if others are on the lookout. Ethiopian wolves -they won't attempt an attack in broad daylight. But at dusk the plateaubecomes a more dangerous place. With the grazing largely over there's alast chance to socialise before returning to the sleeping cliffs. An early warning system puts everyone on the alert. Their day ends as it began,safe on the steep cliffs. The Ethiopian volcanoes are dormant, but elsewhere others still rage. Volcanoes form the backbone of the longestmountain chain on our planet - the Andes of South America. This vast range stretches 5,000 miles from the Equator down to the Antarctic. It formedas the floor of the Pacific Ocean s lid beneath the South American continent, buckling its edge. At the southern end stand the mountains of Patagonia. It's high summer, but the Andes have the most unstable mountain weatheron the planet and storms can erupt without warning. Temperatures plummet and guanacos and their newborn young must suddenly endure a blizzard.Truly, all seasons in one day... A puma - the lion of the Andes. Pumasare usually solitary and secretive. To see a group walking boldly in theopen is extremely rare. It's a family - a mother with four cubs. She hasjust one brief summer in which to teach them their mountain survivaltechniques. Rearing four cubs to this age is an exceptional feat, but she does have an excellent territory, rich in food and water. Although thecubs are now as large as their mother, they still rely on her for theirfood. It will be another year before the cubs can hunt for themselves.Without their mother's skill and experience they would never survive their first winter. Battered by hurricane force winds, these slopes are nowlifeless. Further north, they hold other dangers. Moving at 250 miles an hour, an avalanche destroys everything in its path. In the AmericanRockies a 100,000 avalanches devastate the slopes every winter. This huge mountain chain continues the great spine that runs from Patagonia toAlaska. The slopes of the Rockies, bleak though they are, provide a winter refuge for some animals. A mother grizzly emerges from her den after six months' dozing underground. Her two cubs follow her and take their first steps in the outside world. These steep slopes provide a sanctuary forthe cubs. A male bear would kill and eat them given the chance. But biganimals find it difficult to get about here. Males may be twice the sizeof a female and even she can have problems. Her cubs, however, make l ight of the snow and of life in general. But the mother faces a dilemma: it'ssix months since she last fed and her milk is starting to run dry. Shemust soon leave the safety of these nursery slopes and lead her cubs away from the mountain. If she delays, the whole family will risk starvation. Summer reveals the true nature of the Rockies. Stripped of snow, the peaks bear their sculpted forms. Only now can mountaineers reclaim the upper reaches. Two miles up the crumbling precipices seem devoid of life. Butthere are animals here - a grizzly bear. It seems to be an odd creatureto find on these high rocky slopes. It's hard to imagine what could haveattracted it here. At this time of the year bears should be fattening upfor the winter. Yet they gather in some n umbers on these apparently barren slopes. They're searching for a rather unusual food - moths. Millions have flown up here to escape the heat of the lowlands and they're now roosting among t he rocks. Moths may seem a meager meal for a bear, but their bodies are rich in fat and can make a ll the difference in a bear's annual struggle for survival. Another battle is being waged here but on a much longertimescale. These loose boulders are the mountain's crumbling bones. TheRockies are no longer rising but slowly disintegrating. All mountainseverywhere are being worn down b y frost, snow a nd ice. The Alps were raised some 15 million years ago as Africa, drifting northwards, collided withthe southern edge of Europe. These spires are the eroded remains of anancient seabed that once stretched between the two continents. But these are just the Alpine foothills. The range at its centre rises to 3 mileshigh and is crowned with permanent snows. The Matterhorn, its summit too steep to hold a snow f ield. Mont Blanc - the highest peak in Western Europe. The distinctive jagged shapes of the Alps were carved by those greatmountain sculptors - the glaciers. Immense rivers of moving ice, ladenwith rock, grind their way down the mountains, gouging out deep valleys. They're the most powerful erosive force on our planet. A moulin - a shaft in the ice opened by melt water as it plunges into the depths of the glacier. Like the water running through it, the ice itself is constantly moving,flowing down the valley with unstoppable force. Alpine glaciers may s eem immense, but they're dwarfed by those in the great ranges that divide the Indian subcontinent from Tibet. This is the boulder strewn snout of thegiant Baltoro glacier in the Karakoram mountains of Pakistan. It's thebiggest mountain glacier on Earth - 43 miles long and over 3 miles wide.This huge ice-filled valley is so large it's clearly visible from space. This is the greatest concentration of peaks over 5 miles high to be found anywhere on Earth. They're the most dangerous mountains of all. K2 andher sister peaks have claimed more lives than any others. The peaks here rise so precipitously, the glaciers are so steep and crevassed that fewexcept the most skilled mountaineers can penetrate these ranges. Markhor gather for their annual rut. Males must fight for the right to breed, but on these sheer cliffs any slip by either animal could be fatal. A snowleopard - the rarest of Himalayan animals. It's a female returning to her lair. These are the first intimate images of snow leopard ever filmed in the wild. She greets her one year old cub. Her den is well chosen. It has exceptional views of the surrounding cliffs. On t hese treacherous slopes no hunter other than the snow leopard would have a chance of catching such fragile prey. A female with young makes an easier target. Her large paws give an excellent grip and that long tail helps her balance. Silently she positions herself above her prey. She returns with nothing. Golden eagles patrol these cliffs in search of the weak or injured. With a 2 metre wing span this bird could easily take a young markhor. Eagles hunt by sightand the thickening veil of snow forces them to give up. For the leopardthe snow provides cover and creates an opportunity. The worsening weather dampens the sound of her approach allowing her to get within strikingdistance. It was an act of desperation to try and catch such a large animal. Wolves have made a kill giving other hunters a chance to scavenge. Theworst of the blizzard brings success for the snow leopard, but havingdescended so far to make the kill she has a grueling climb to get backto her lair. The cub must be patient. It'll be a year before it has thestrength and skill to kill for itself on these difficult slopes. The snow leopard is an almost mythical creature, an icon of the wilderness, ananimal few humans h ave ever glimpsed for its world is one we seldom visit. The Karakoram lie at the western end of a range that stretches across atenth of our planet - the Himalayas. These, the highest mountains of the world, like other great ranges, were created by the collision of continents. Some 50 million years ago India collided with Tibet thrusting up these immense p eaks, which are still rising. This vast barrier of rock and ice is so colossal it shapes the world's climate. Warm winds from India, full of moisture, are forced upwards by the Himalayas. As the air risesso it cools, causing clouds to form and the monsoon is born. At highaltitudes the monsoon rains fall as snow. Here, at the far eastern endof the range in China, one inhabitant endures the bitter winters out inthe open. Most other bears would be sleeping underground by now, but the giant panda can't fatten up enough to hibernate. Its food, bamboo, on which it totally relies has so little nutritional value that it can't build upa store of fat like other bears. Most of the creatures here move up ordown t he slopes with the seasons but the panda is held captive by its diet for the kind of bamboo it eats only grows at this altitude. But theseforests hold fewer challenges for the more mobile. The golden snap-nosed monkey, like the giant panda, lives only in China. Their thick fur allows them to survive at greater altitudes than any other monkey and when thecold bites they have these upper slopes to themselves. Even if you havea warm coat it apparently helps to surround yourself with as many layers as possible. But at least these monkeys have a choice - if they tire oftree bark and other survival food they can always descend to lower warmer altitudes and not return there till spring. As the snows retreat treescome into bloom. Cherry blossom. Rhododendrons - here in their naturalhome they form great forests and fill the landscape with the covers ofa new season. These forests are a host to a rich variety of springtimemigrants. Beneath the blooms - another display. It's the mating seasonfor oriental pheasants, Himalayan monal, tragopan and blood pheasant.Musk d eer make t he most of a short flash of spring foods. This male smells a potential mate. The red panda, rarely glimpsed in the wild. It was once considered a kind of raccoon, but is now believed to be a small mountainbear. By midsummer its larger, more famous relative, has retreated intoa cave. A giant panda nurses a tiny week old baby. Her tender cleaningwards off infection. She won't leave this cave for three weeks, not while her cub is so utterly helpless. Progress is slow for milk produced on adiet of bamboo is wretchedly poor. Four weeks old and the cub is stillblind. Its eyes do not fully open until three months after birth, but the chances of the cub reaching adulthood are slim. The struggle of a giantpanda mother to raise her cub is a touching symbol of the precariousnessof life in the mountains. On the highest summits of our planet nothingcan live permanently. The highest peak of all, Mount Everest, five anda half miles above sea level and still rising - the roof of our world.Of those humans w ho've tried to climb it one in ten have lost their lives. Those that succeed can stand for only a few moments on its summit. The Nepalese call it 'a mountain so high no bird can fly above it.' But eachyear over 50,000 demoiselle cranes set out on one of the most challenging migrations on Earth. To reach their overwintering grounds in India theymust cross the Himalayas. By late morning ferocious winds are roaring past the peaks. The cranes must gain height to avoid the building storm. They've hit serious turbulence. They must turn back or risk death. A new day anda new opportunity. The flock stay in close contact by calling one another. Weak from lack of food and water, they use thermals, rising columns ofwarm a ir, to gain height. For many t his is their first journey across the Himalayas. For some, it will be their last. The golden eagles have beenexpecting them. The eagles work in pairs to separate a young crane fromthe flock. It escapes the touches of one, and is caught by another. Buteven a young crane is a heavy prize and the eagle has to struggle to control it. The mother can wait no longer - this is a desperate race againstworsening weather. The rest of the flock battle on. In the ascent everywing beat becomes a n exhausting struggle. At last they are over the highest barrier that lies in their way. But like all who visit the world of thehigh mountains they dare not linger.。

[转载]《鸟瞰地球》解说词《鸟瞰地球》第一部（上）·法国以下文字是我一边看纪录片一边整理下来的，我想不是所有的人都能有幸看到这部片子，我能为他们提供一份文字信息，从而使人们从那些数字里获得更多的有关地球信息，以增强人们保护地球的意识。

地球不仅仅属于我们人类，每种生物都是鲜活的，并且是相互关联的，我们为什么要说这些呢？在过去的30年间，我们失去了地球上大约30%的物种，是我们需要做点什么的时候了。

在肯尼亚，大量的物种集居在那里，这是一个研究动、植物理想的地方，这里包含了我们这个星球上大大小小的物种，在这里我们将看到许多不理想的状态。

每天，我们给地球带来的有时是不可恢复的破坏。

猫科动物的自由迁徙来自坦桑尼亚的一百五十多万只角马的迁徙，淌过河流它们死伤数千，在成群的大象破坏种植园的时候，谈共存不是那么容易的事情；在刚果，三万头河马被屠杀，这正是人类的所做所为；在巴西，沼泽湿地具有威胁的地方，人们尽量最大努力保持生物的多样性；在澳大利亚南部的塔斯马尼亚，人们用凝固汽油来采伐森林，他们破坏的地方不想让游人看到；在中国，现代医学刚刚发现一种能治疗疟疾的新的物种。

我们忽视了自然界伟大的药物。

当人们自认为法力无边时，微小的事情可以引起混乱。

非洲的一个最大的湖泊——维多利亚湖就是被一种鱼所毁灭的，全球气候变暖的一个结果就是乞力马扎罗山的冰川开始融化。

冰川解冻改变了因纽特人的生活，也预示着冰川之王的北极熊的灭绝。

问题就如同地球本身一样复杂难解，现在，我们决定着地球的未来。

人类和自然是密不可分的，人类是自然的组成部分，我们都是一个整体的部分，必须要学会和周围的其他生物共存。

30年前，我在肯尼亚是一个热气球驾驶员，我和妻子一道去非洲研究狮子，我理解，图片能完成语言表达不出来的东西。

3年中，我每天都在拍摄一个家庭狮子的画面，我和它们连在了一起，我甚至担心它们的生活，是不是有病了……。

回到马赛玛拉的国家公园，又遇见了另一个研究狮子的研究员，我们在一起谈论这些狮子，谈论如何与它们共存，我们在交谈的时候，那些大大小小的狮子都在我们的眼前。
