This is Wood Buffalo National Park, in Northern Canada. And I love this land.
這里是加拿大北部的野牛國家公園(木野牛國家公園)。我愛上了這片土地。
While the rest of the modern world is changing so fast, this place still feels timeless and unspoiled to me.
當現代世界其牠地方都在日新月異變化的時候,這里仍然讓我感受到永恒和原始的自然。
Despite the weather, winter is the best time to begin following the wolf pack.
盡管氣候惡劣,冬季是開始追尋狼群的最好時機。
This is when a wolf pack is most visible and cohesive, travelling together.
這是最容易看到狼群們聚集到一起結伴而行的時節。
The big white guy looks to be the alpha male wolf.
這只白色的大家伙看起來像是狼群的頭號雄狼。
He's one of the biggest I've ever seen - a real force of nature. I'm going to call him Storm.
牠是我見過的最強壯的,真正的自然勇士。我要給牠取名"風暴"。
The smaller wolf Storm is sticking so close to must be his mate.
"風暴"緊跟著的,身材較小的狼應該是牠的配偶。
A wolf pack is, at its heart, a family.
狼群的核心就是家族。
The leaders of the pack, the alpha wolves, are the father and mother wolf, and most of the members of the pack are their offspring of various ages.
狼群的領導者,這對"阿爾法夫婦"分別是狼王和狼后,而族群的大多數其牠成員是牠們不同年齡段的后代。[狼的社會等級制度用希臘字母來表示]
The success or failure of a wolf pack depends on its leaders.
狼群的成敗在乎于牠們的領導者。
Just as in a human family, the mother and father wolf are the ones that provide food and security.
這和人類族群是一樣的,狼王狼后負責提供食物和保護。
But the long-term survival of this family's bloodline depends on Storm teaching his kids the family business.
但要使這個家族的血脈得以長久延續下去,得靠"暴風"教導牠的孩子看家本領。
And the family business is hunting buffalo.
這看家本領就是捕食野牛。
