脆弱天堂 03

原歌词

[00:00.300]	During big spring tides, seawater simply bubbles up through the ground.
[00:04.904]	In 2006, the islanders experienced their highest tides ever.
[00:10.546]	These islands could soon become uninhabitable.
[00:14.353]	The seawater is poisoning the soil and groundwater.
[00:17.475]	Eventually, the islands may have to be evacuated.
[00:20.041]	This would be an unprecedented move, an entire nation relocated.
[00:24.661]	So the ocean is threatening its islands, thanks to global warming.
[00:29.219]	And yet, the Pacific is playing a massive part in slowing down climate change.
[00:35.537]	The world's oceans have absorbed about half of all the carbon dioxide released so far into the atmosphere by industry,
[00:42.537]	significantly reducing the greenhouse effect.
[00:46.481]	But there's a catch.
[00:48.483]	For the fish, all that extra carbon dioxide in the water can have some，unwanted side effects.
[00:53.776]	All life in the Pacific is dependent on the tiniest of creatures, the plankton that floats freely in the currents.
[01:01.523]	One of the most plentiful is the sea butterfly, a tiny marine snail, which uses its enlarged foot to fly through，the water.

歌词翻译

[00:00.300]	春天的潮汐开涨时，海水会渗出地面往外冒。
[00:04.904]	2006年，岛上居民们经历了空前的大潮。
[00:10.546]	这些岛屿很快就不能居住了。
[00:14.353]	海水污染了土壤和地下水。
[00:17.475]	最终，岛民们势必要撤离。
[00:20.041]	这将是个前所未有的动作——举国大搬迁。
[00:24.661]	由于全球变暖，海洋威胁着岛屿（的生态/存亡）。
[00:29.219]	然而，太平洋在减缓气候变化方面又发挥着重要作用。
[00:35.537]	工业生产至今排入大气层的二氧化碳，世界各大海洋就吸收了近一半之多，
[00:42.537]	这大大减少了温室效应。
[00:46.481]	但是，有利必有弊。
[00:48.483]	对海里的鱼来说，水里面过多的二氧化碳会造成不利的影响。
[00:53.776]	太平洋中所有生物的生存都仰赖一种微小的生物，这就是随着，海流四处漂浮的浮游生物。
[01:01.523]	海蝶是为数较多的一种。这是一种小小的海蜗牛，它们会运用特大的足部在海中“翱翔”。
