Emma: I have read a lot about the aboriginal culture. I am totally mesmerized with it.
埃瑪：我曾經讀過關于原住民文化的很多東西，我很癡迷于他們的文化。
Jay: Really? Could you make me some introduction?
杰伊：真的嗎？那你能給我講講嗎？
Emma: OK. The aborigines believe that they are the one with nature. That is to say, in their belief system, nature and landscape are comparable in importance to Bible in Christian culture.
埃瑪：可以。原住民相信他們是和大自然混為一體的。也就是說，在他們的信仰里，自然和風景就像基督教里的《圣經》一樣重要。
Jay: So everything in nature is meaningful to them?
杰伊：那么說自然里面很多東西都很重要了？
Emma: Yes. Prominent rocks, canyons, rivers, waterfalls, islands, beaches and other natural features—as well as sun, moon, visible stars and animals—have their own stories of creation and inter-connectedness. To the traditional aborigine they are all sacred.
埃瑪：是的。巨石、山谷、河流、瀑布、島嶼、海灘和其他自然事物，還有太陽、月亮和其他可見的星星和動物，都有存在意義和相互關聯性。對于原住民的傳統來說，這些東西都是神圣的。
Jay: Out of this deep reverence for nature aborigines learned to live in remarkable harmony with the land and its animals.
杰伊：出于對大自然的崇敬，原住民學會了如何與天地動物和諧相處。
Emma: It seems there's a lot our modern world can learn from these people.
埃瑪：或許這就是我們現代人應該從他們身上學到的很多東西。
