當我還是個小女孩
00:30
my grandfather took me to sit outside in the sun on a hot summer day.

爺爺帶我坐在夏季的炎熱太陽下
00:35
There were no clouds in the sky.

天空沒有半片雲彩

33979
2848
「你看到了嗎？
00:48
That's part of you up there.

你身體的水，幫助雲的產生，

I started storm chasing in 2008

2701
2008 年我開始追逐風暴
01:12
after my daughter said, "Mom, you should do that."

因為我女兒說：
「媽媽，你應該去做。」

三天後，我高速開車
01:22
I found myself stalking a single type of giant cloud called the super cell,
20

發現自己正接近一種巨大的雲
稱為「超級細胞」
稱為「超級細胞」
01:29
capable of producing grapefruit-size hail
21
77368
4451
它能產生葡萄柚大小的冰雹、
01:33
and spectacular tornadoes,
22
81819
1993
及壯觀的龍捲風
01:35
although only two percent actually do.
23
83812

雖然這只有百分之二的機會
01:42
These clouds can grow so big, up to 50 miles wide
24
90118

雲能大到寬達八十公里
01:47
and reach up to 65,000 feet into the atmosphere.

高度可達兩萬公尺
01:51
They can grow so big, blocking all daylight,

大到能遮蔽所有日光
01:53
making it very dark and ominous standing under them.

站在下方感到非常黑暗與不祥
01:58
Storm chasing is a very tactile experience.

2902
追風是個非常有感覺的經驗
02:01
There's a warm, moist wind blowing at your back
29
109728
4267
溫暖、潮濕的風吹著你的背
02:05
and the smell of the earth, the wheat, the grass, the charged particles.
30
113995
6702
聞到泥土、小麥、
青草、帶電粒子的氣味
青草、帶電粒子的氣味
02:12
And then there are the colors in the clouds
31
120697
3397
雲的顏色各不相同
02:16
of hail forming, the greens and the turquoise blues.
32
124094

02:28
I'm just kidding.

02:31
What really excites me about these storms
38
139886
3176
真正讓我興奮的，是這些風暴的
02:35
is their movement, the way they swirl and spin and undulate,
39
143062
4217
移動、漩渦、旋轉、起伏
02:39
with their lava lamp-like mammatus clouds.
40
147279
4018
以及像熔岩燈的—乳房狀積雨雲
02:43
They become lovely monsters.
41
151297
2732
它們是可愛的怪物
02:46
When I'm photographing them,
42
154029
2533
當我拍攝風暴時
02:48
I cannot help but remember my grandfather's lesson.
43
156562
3733
不禁想起爺爺的教訓
02:52
As I stand under them,
44
160295
1992
當我站在風暴下
02:54
I see not just a cloud,
45
162287
2207
我不只看到雲
02:56
but understand that what I have the privilege to witness
46
164494
2883
而是明白我有幸見證
02:59
is the same forces, the same process in a small-scale version
47
167377
4450
這個小規模的版本。
同樣的力量與過程
同樣的力量與過程
