17、它们来此的目的And thats why theyre here.南极洲一直在忙着为这些庞然大物准备饕餐盛宴Antarctica has been busy preparing a feast for these giants.随着夏天的到来无尽的阳光融化了冰川With summer, comes endless sunshine that melts the glaciers.淡水把营养物质冲进来把海洋变成了乳白色The freshwater flushes in nutrients and turns the ocean milky. 海藻在浮冰底部生长Algae grows on the

22、As the season wears on, the krill thins out,必须将它们赶拢and must be rounded up.就像在阿♥拉&hearts撕力口吃鳏鱼的座头鲸Like the humpbacks that eat herring in Alaska,这位鲸鱼妈妈也需要特殊技能this mother also has a special skill.它大声呼唤找到一位心甘情愿的队友She calls out, and finds a willing teammate.它的幼崽在后方等待Her baby waits behind.它们一起潜入磷虾群

27、ut the orcas pod is nearby,无法得知如果它们大批返回会是怎样的情形and no telling what will happen if they return in numbers.它不会留下来寻找答案He doesn*t stay to find out.座头鲸妈妈呼唤了The humpback mom calls.它的幼崽知道这种交流意味着什么Her baby knows what this communication means.马上回到妈妈身边Get back to Mom ASAP.它兀自游开妈妈不高兴了Shes not happy he swam off.

28、一旦它们离开这些觅食地幼崽就要断奶了Once they leave these feeding grounds, the calf will be weaned. 接下来八个月它不会再吃东西and he wont eat again for another eight months.但在它能够加入长辈们的盛宴前But before he can join his elders in the feast,必须掌握吹出完美P形气泡圈的技能he must master making the perfect P-shaped ring of bubbles.几乎总是顺时针方向Almost always
