本影片片段來自《非洲》
The sun not only bakes the land,
烈日不僅炙烤著大地
it warps its appearance.
也肆意地扭曲著地貌
The superheated air, rising upward from the desert surface,
過熱的空氣從沙漠的地面上升起
distorts the distant scene.
扭曲了遠處的景象
A reflection of the sky shimmers on the sands,
天邊的映像在沙漠中閃爍
a mirage.
呈現出海市蜃樓
The sun is an illusionist.
太陽就是一位迷幻大師
To thirsty travellers,
對饑渴的旅者來說
a mirage can resemble a lake
海市蜃樓呈現出湖的幻像
which agonisingly recedes as it's approached.
每將接近它時 它卻后退 令人苦悶
And swaying camels coming to the rescue
而搖搖擺擺前來救援的駱駝
transform into dry, spiny acacia trees.
卻變成了干枯多刺的刺槐
To cross this confused, shimmering landscape,
要穿越這個迷惑閃爍的沙漠
many swallows will need to find real water amongst the mirages.
家燕需要在海市蜃樓間尋找真正的水源
