在中国北方的扎龙自然保护区InnorthernChina'

sZhalongNatureReserve,

一对丹顶鹤正守望着它们的产卵领土

在一个商业管理的芦苇床残株里inthestubbleofacommerciallymanagedreedbed.

数百年来Forcenturies,craneshavebeenreveredinChina

鹤被中国人视为长寿的象征而备受尊崇assymbolsoflongevity.

它们的雕像被放在皇帝的宝座旁TheirstatueswereplacednexttotheEmperor'

鹤因此而受到赞扬Thecraneshavecausetocelebrate.

幼鹤在困难时刻就象征着希望Thischickisasignofhopeindifficulttimes.

丹顶鹤是世界上最濒临灭绝边缘的物种之一

在过去的一个世纪Overthelastcentury,

中国失去了近一半的沿海湿地Chinahaslostnearlyhalfofitscoastalwetlands

并且大多数改造地是为了造福人类而非野生动物

从现在起的数个月Afewmonthsfromnow,

幼鹤和它的家人将面临一场往南方的大迁徙

来躲避北方的严冬toescapetheharshnorthernwinter.

它们将沿着海岸向前Theirroutewilltakethemalongacoast

然而这些海岸已经受到人类活动的巨大影响

在它们的征途上Alongtheirjourney,thecraneswillbejoined

将有成千上万其他鸟类加入迁徙大军bymanythousandsofothermigratingbirds.

它们迁徙的方向横跨南渤海湾AllheadingsouthacrosstheBohaiGulf

七千年前Seventhousandyearsago,

少昊部落的成员雕刻下的神奇符号

这种岩石雕刻显示出

因为常年目睹群鸟迁徙的奇观Familiarwiththespectacleofyearlybirdmigrations,

少昊人选择一只鸟的符号作为他们的图腾

锦屏山位于半岛附近MountJinpingliesneartheShandongpeninsula,

烟墩礁YandunJiaovillage,

在早春料峭的清晨Onachillymorninginearlyspring,

屈夫妇在破晓时刻出来碰运气MrandMrsQuventureoutatfirstlight

带着海民的传统工具——桶和小铲

当屈家人朝着港湾前进AstheQusheaddownintotheharbour,

一群被当地人aflockofwhooperswans,

亲切称为“冬日天使”的大天鹅knownaffectionatelyhereas"

当老屈站在启程船只的甲板上Astheboatssetout,withMrQuonboard,

天鹅并肩掠过theswanssetaparallelcourse.

整个海湾是一个巨型海藻农场Thewholeofthebayisagiganticseaweedfarm.

人们整天忙于清理和照料海藻叶Themenworkalldaycleaningandtendingthekelpfronds

海藻长在巨大浮标舰队互相连接的绳子上

天鹅只吃长在绳子表面的本地海藻Theswanseatnativeseaweedsgrowingonthesurfaceropes

而非更有价值的产物ratherthanthevaluablecropofkelp,

所以它们无损经济作物的生长sotheydonoharmtothecommercialoperation.

在中国拥挤的海岸线很难看到如此和谐的人地关系

当夜晚降临Aseveningdrawson,

烟墩礁的村民和“冬日天使”间的

在渤海湾天鹅村的最东北处OutintheBohaiGulf,northeastoftheswanvillage,

一座小小的岩岛为迁徙的鸟儿提供了安静的歇脚地

但是蛇岛亦潜伏着危险ButShedaoIslandhashiddendangers.

由于海平面上升蝮蛇已被困在这座岛上6000余年

岛上没有任何食物thereisnothingsubstantialtoeatontheisland,

因此爬行类动物保持静止以保存体力

鸟群鸣叫（BIRDSCAWING）

这些蛇便爬进灌木树丛thesnakesclimbupintothebushesandtrees.

海也有季节变化Thesea,too,hasitsseasons,

沿岸的渔民都知道这个变化

在初望港InChuwangharbour,

但是对于船主老来说ButforboatownerMrZhao,

老希望通过祭祀海神

同时鼓声爆竹反映了古人的信念

古人认为嘈杂巨响能驱赶海怪和坏运气

台子中间的那个是海龙的象征

只有海蜇Onlyjellyfish.
