[00:03.80]3 The Polar Bear's Dinner	北极熊的晚餐
[00:07.00](By Chris Rose)	（译 / 康那）
[00:09.40]I'm a polar bear. 我是一只北极熊。
[00:12.24]Where do I live? 我住在哪儿？
[00:13.83]On an iceberg of course, not that far from the North Pole. 当然是在冰山上啦，离北极不是很远。
[00:18.94]We never go too near the North Pole though; it's much too cold up there. 但是我们从不去离北极很近的地方，因为那儿太冷了。
[00:24.91]We prefer to live in places like Greenland.	我们更喜欢待在格陵兰岛这种地方。
[00:28.33]So, I'm sitting on my favorite iceberg, a great place for sitting around, hanging out, chatting to a few friends every now and then, catching fish and whatever else I can find.现在，我正坐在最喜欢的冰山上。这是个很不错的地方，可以随便坐坐，四处逛逛，时不时跟朋友聊聊天，抓点儿鱼或者其他我能发现的东西。 
[00:40.80]And I notice something strange. 我注意到一件奇怪的事儿：
[00:43.77]My favorite iceberg is getting smaller. 我最喜欢的冰山正在变小。
[00:47.20]Well, either my iceberg is getting smaller, or perhaps I'm getting bigger. 唔，要么是冰山在变小，要么可能是我变大了。
[00:53.11]If I'm getting bigger it means I'm getting fat. 如果是我变大了，那就意味着我长胖了。
[00:56.67]But I can't be getting fat, because I've also noticed that recently I haven't been eating very much at all; 但是我不可能长胖啊，因为我发现最近吃的根本都不多。
[01:04.37]there are far fewer fish around now than there were a few years ago.	如今这儿的鱼比几年前少多了。
[01:09.91]Let me tell you a few things about polar bears. 给你说说北极熊的事儿吧。
[01:12.66]We only live at the North Pole, not the South one. 我们只住在北极，而不是南极。
[01:16.50]And I've never met a penguin. 我也从来没见过一只企鹅，
[01:19.33]Because penguins only live in the South Pole. 因为它们只住在南极。
[01:22.48]It's a long way from one pole to the other, so we rarely meet. 从一极到另一极相隔很远，所以我们极少见面。
[01:26.79]There was a cousin of mine though, who ended up in a zoo, and they put him in the enclosure next to the penguins. 我有一个堂兄死在动物园里了，它生前曾被关在紧挨企鹅的围栏里。
[01:34.28]He said the penguins were pretty noisy.	它说企鹅吵得要命。
[01:37.17]Let me tell you something else about polar bears: we get cold. 再告诉你一件关于北极熊的事儿：我们会感冒。
[01:42.53]I bet you thought we'd have layers of fur and fat to keep us warm from the arctic cold. 我敢打赌，你肯定以为我们长了好几层皮毛和脂肪就能抵御北极的寒冷。
[01:48.78]Well, we do, but it's never quite enough.是的，我们的确有皮毛和脂肪，但这些远远不够。 
[01:52.40]We still get cold. 我们还是会感冒。
[01:54.05]I do anyway, and so do most of the other polar bears I talk to (and, believe me, I talk to a lot of polar bears.)	反正我会， 跟我聊过天的其他许多北极熊也会(相信我，我跟很多北极熊聊过天呢)。
[02:03.40]So, where was I? 那么我在哪儿呢？
[02:05.04]Sorry, yes, I was telling you that I was sitting on my iceberg, noticing that the iceberg was getting smaller and the fish were getting fewer, when this walrus arrives. 哦，对不起，我告诉过你我正坐在冰山上，发现冰山在变小，鱼也在变少，现在又过来了一只海象。
[02:17.00]I hate walruses. 我讨厌海象。
[02:18.70]They're awful. 它们太恶心了。
[02:20.40]Loud and smelly and stupid. 大嗓门，臭烘烘的，又愚蠢，
[02:23.67]Always bothering us. 还经常骚扰我们。
[02:25.29]I tried to catch him, but he was too quick for me. 我试图抓住它，可它溜得太快了。
[02:28.38]He just splashed around in the water making that terrible noise and shouting at me.	它就在水里哗啦哗啦游来游去，制造那种烦人的噪音，还冲我直嚷嚷。
[02:34.95]Hey stupid! He shouted. “嘿，傻瓜！”它叫道，
[02:37.06]"Yes you! Big stupid polar bear! What's the matter? Can't you catch me? Of course you can't! “对，就是你！又大又蠢的北极熊！怎么？抓不着我？你当然抓不着！
[02:45.00]You know why? Because your iceberg's disappearing! Ha! Ha! Ha!"	你知道为什么吗？因为你的冰山正在消失！哈！哈！哈！”
[02:49.97]I know that, ugly. “我知道它在消失，丑八怪。”
[02:51.81]I shouted to him. 我也冲它喊，
[02:53.50]"If you can tell me why it's happening then perhaps I won't have you for my dinner!"	“如果你告诉我这是为什么，也许我会考虑不把你当晚餐！”
[02:58.20]You're as stupid as all polar bears! replied this extremely cheeky walrus. “你们所有的北极熊都这么蠢！”这只无耻至极的海象答道，
[03:04.19]"Global warming! Never heard of it, have you? “全球变暖！没听说过，是吧？
[03:07.86]Bye now!" 拜拜！”
[03:09.19]And then the walrus dived back under the water and splashed away. 然后它就潜回水里，游走了。
[03:13.44]I did have to admit that I had never heard of global warming, so when a few of the other bears were around, I asked them if they'd heard anything about it.	不得不承认，我的确没听说过全球变暖，所以当我见到其他熊的时候， 我就问它们有没有听说过。
[03:23.45]Oh yeah, they said. “哦，是的，”他们说，
[03:25.32]"It means the sea is getting warmer, so the ice is melting."	“全球变暖就是海洋越来越暖，所以冰开始融化。”
[03:29.20]What's causing it? I asked.	“这是什么引起的呢？”我问。
[03:32.21]Humans, of course, they replied. “当然是人类了，”他们回答，
[03:35.16]"It's always humans. “一直以来都是人类造成的。
[03:36.70]That's why there aren't as many fish now as well. 连鱼也比以前少了，
[03:39.39]The humans are eating them all."	都被人类吃光了。”
[03:41.86]This really was bad news. “这可真是个坏消息。
[03:44.65]No iceberg; no fish. 冰山没了，鱼没了，
[03:48.00]No dinner for me.	我的晚餐也没了。”
[03:49.68]The problem is, continued my friend, "there's very little we can do about it. “问题是，”我的朋友继续说，“我们对此束手无策。
[03:54.49]I mean, how can we stop the humans?"	我是说，我们怎么才能阻止人类呢？”
[03:57.76]Look, I said, "If there are no fish, then that's bad news for the walruses too, isn't it? They eat fish too."	“看，”我说，“如果鱼没了，那对海象来说也是个坏消息，不是吗？它们也要吃鱼啊。”
[04:05.50]So, the next day, I'm sitting there on my favorite iceberg again, and along comes the same cheeky walrus.	于是，第二天当我又坐在自己最喜欢的冰山上时，昨天那只无耻的海象又来了。
[04:12.55]Caught anything yet? Ha! Ha! Ha!	“抓到什么了吗？哈！哈！哈！”
[04:15.87]Listen ugly, I replied to him. 	“听着，丑八怪，”我对它说，
[04:18.42]"You're right about global warming, but what you haven't realized is that the humans who are causing global warming are also eating all our fish. “你说的全球变暖没错，但有一件事你没有意识到：人类造成了全球变暖，同时也会吃掉我们所有的 鱼。
[04:27.01]The only way we can stop them is we work together ...polar bears and walruses and everyone else who lives here..."  能够阻止他们的唯一办法就是我们联合起来……北极熊、海象和这里所有的动物……”
[04:35.04]Work with you! No way! shouted the walrus, and off he went.	“跟你们合作！没门儿！”那只海象大吼，然后就游走了。
[04:41.70]So, I'm sitting here on my iceberg, and my iceberg's getting smaller everyday, and I'm getting hungrier every day. 现在，我正坐在我的冰山上。它每天都在变小。我每天也变得越来越饿。
[04:50.60]Some other polar bears, I hear, the ones who live closer to places where there are more humans are going to the humans' rubbish bins and eating everything they can find there. 我听说，那些住在人类聚集地附近的北极熊开始去人类的垃圾箱里找吃的，吃那里面能找到的一切东西。
[05:01.05]That's one solution, I guess, but I'd rather have some nice fresh fish - or big juicy piece of walrus - than humans' rubbish. 我猜这是个办法，但我更喜欢吃新鲜的鱼――或者大块多汁的海象肉――而不想吃人类的垃圾。
[05:10.87]I'd really like there to be a happy end to this story I'm telling you, but at the moment there isn't. 我真的很想给我正在讲述的这个故事一个美好的结局，但是目前还没有。
[05:16.07]What am I going to have for my dinner?	我的晚餐该吃什么呢？
