It's held in such high regard that its fur is even used to decorate the sacred prayer flag poles, and yak butter is used as an offering to the gods.
牦牛如此受器重以至于人們用它的皮來(lái)裝飾神圣的經(jīng)幡番桿，它的脂肪也被用作敬奉神的貢品。
The yak has even led the Tibetans to buried treasure. In summer, people can be seen scouring the grassland, bent over in deep concentration.
牦牛甚至還幫助藏民找到了地上的寶藏。夏季可以看見有的人貼在草地上，全神貫注地四處搜索。
This is the world's weirdest harvest. Tibetans first investigated this strange root-like organism, known locally as "yartsa gunbu", when their yaks appeared to have more energy after grazing on it. Rumours of its amazing properties gradually spread.
這是世界上最奇特的收割方式了。藏民們首先發(fā)現(xiàn)了這種被稱為“牙扎梗布(藏語(yǔ):冬蟲夏草)”的奇怪的根狀生物體。原因就在于看到了牦牛們?cè)诔酝晁缶Τ渑妫P(guān)于它的神奇的特性的傳言逐漸傳播開來(lái)。
And today the yartsa gunbu is a passport into a shady, underground world.
到了今天，冬蟲夏草已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了地下黑市。
It's possible to dig up 40 of them in a day, the proceeds from which may provide half the collector's annual income.
有時(shí)一天一人就可以挖掘40個(gè)左右，而這些收入則可能占采集者年收入的一半。
