During the breeding season,
在繁殖季節(jié)，
the flamingos perform these peculiar courtship dances even through the hottest time of the day.
即便在一天中最熱的時(shí)刻，火烈鳥也在不停表演著奇異的求愛舞蹈。
They are so eager, they don't even pause to feed.
他們求愛心切，甚至沒時(shí)間停下來(lái)進(jìn)食。
The rules are something of a mystery, but, after a month of dancing,
盡管求愛規(guī)則讓人摸不著頭腦，但在跳了一個(gè)月之后，
all the birds will have paired off and will be getting ready to mate.
所有的鳥兒都配對(duì)成功并準(zhǔn)備開始交配。
Up here, there are few other creatures to bother the flamingos,
高山之上，鮮少有其他動(dòng)物來(lái)打擾火烈鳥，
but then, few other creatures could even tolerate these conditions.

So for animals that have the endurance, mountains can be sanctuaries.
對(duì)于耐力極佳的動(dòng)物而言，深山堪稱生存的圣殿。
But rocky peaks which to us, perhaps, seem a symbol of permanence, are more fragile than they appear.
那些在我們看來(lái)似乎象征著永恒的巖石山峰，其實(shí)要脆弱得多。
Today in the Alps, human encroachment is changing even the highest summits.
