中&英

Most of the land sits in warm waters,

大部分岛屿座落在暖水海洋里

but travel south and the character of the islands change.

但遍阅南部岛屿的特色是不同的

New Zealand is not tropical but temperate.

新西兰气候温和而不炎热

The ocean currents which cool New Zealand's waters

偶尔带来的冰山的洋流

occasionally bring icebergs.

使得新西兰成为冷海域

Starting in the Antarctic,

从南极起

they've drifted for nearly eight months,

它们漂泊了近8个月

on the way, passing the most southerly outpost in the South Pacific.

途中经过南太平洋最南端的边远居民点

Where New Zealand's temperate seas

新西兰温和的大海

merge with the icy waters of the Southern Ocean,

融合了南大洋的寒冷海水

lies a solitary piece of land

有一块陆地单独座落在那

85 miles of wave-lashed coastline.

有着85英里的海岸线被海浪抽打着

It looks desolate, but it's not deserted.

看上去无人但并不荒芜

At certain times of year,

一年中某些时段

there's more life here than on any other island in the Pacific.

这里比太平洋其它任何岛屿都有更多的生命存在
