家园是承载着童年美好回忆的地方,但我童年的家园正在变化,我们依赖的冰川正在消融,我和孩子处境堪虞,前途未卜。
Home. It's the place where childhood and memory live together. But the home of my childhood is changing. The ice we depend on is melting away. My cub and I are in uncharted waters.
除了璀璨的极光滑过夜空,半年的时间都是一片漆黑,我以为太阳永远消失了,直到它再次出现的那一天,我和弟弟都很喜欢阳光,可以再次探索新世界。
Other than the lights that danced in the sky, it was total darkness for half of the year. I thought the sun had gone forever. I remember the day it finally reappeared. My brother and I loved the sunshine. We could go and explore again.
夏天的太阳几乎有大半年总不落山,永无止境的白昼,为新生命的诞生带来高潮,所有动物都迫不及待地沐浴在和煦的阳光下。
In summer, the sun never sets for half the year. The unending daylight brings a great wave of new life. Everyone rushes to raise their families in the warm summer sun.
冰与火的较量,这次是骄阳获胜,甚至脚下的冰盖也开始逐渐消融,昔日回家的路线也变得无法通行,这不是我所知道的夏天,是另一个陌生的季节。
Fire and ice have always been enemies. But now, fire is winning. Even the land is beginning to melt beneath our feet. The old routes through our home are becoming impassable. This is not the summer I knew. This is some other season.
世界从未如此空茫和孤独,没有她我不知道能不能活下来,在接下来的三年里,我独自徘徊,但是那段日子里再也没有遇到另一只冰熊,不过,我并不孤单,妈妈在我心里,每一次经历都和她息息相关,每一个决定,每一段旅程,她是我生命中的一部分,她的知识帮助我度过了三个漫长而艰苦的冬天。
The world had never seemed so vast and lonely. I didn't know if I could survive without her. I wandered alone for the next three years. I did not encounter another ice bear in all that time. I wasn't really alone, though. She was with me. She was a part of every experience, every decision, every journey. A part of the bear that I had become. Her knowledge is what got me through those three long, grueling winters.
我们冰熊是伟大的幸存者,即使世界变化无常,我们始终能从容应对,我们通过世代相传的知识来应对恶劣的环境,哪里能找到冰,如何找到食物,如何适应不断变化的环境,但我对这个世界的认知正在接近极限,这些新变化在我看来几乎是不可逾越的难题,我的女儿将学习如何成为,一只出色的冰熊。她会忍耐,但对她而言,何以为家呢?
We ice bears are great survivors. We have always mastered the changes we have faced. We have done so by carrying the knowledge of those who've gone before. Where to find ice. How to find food. How to adapt to an evolving landscape. But I am reaching the limits of what I know about this world. These new changes seem to me almost insurmountable. My daughter will learn what it takes to be a great ice bear. She will endure. But what kind of world will she call home?
