Everything is interconnected.

所有嘢都係有關係嘅
作為一個辛納科克印度人
我從小就知道呢一點
我從小就知道呢一點
00:16
As a Shinnecock Indian, I was raised to know this.

我哋喺一個細嘅釣魚部落
00:19
We are a small fishing tribe

就近紐約南安普敦、長島嘅東南部
00:21
situated on the southeastern tip of Long Island

near the town of Southampton in New York.

When I was a little girl,
5
15910
2470
我細嘅時候
00:30
my grandfather took me to sit outside in the sun on a hot summer day.
6

我爺爺會喺夏天帶我坐喺太陽之下
00:35
There were no clouds in the sky.
7
23728
3554
天空完全冇雲
過咗一段時間，我開始流汗
00:39
And after a while I began to perspire.
8
27282
3171
00:42
And he pointed up to the sky, and he said,
9
30453
3526
我爺爺就向天指著話：
「你睇下，見唔見到嗰個啊？
00:45
"Look, do you see that?
10
33979
2848
00:48
That's part of you up there.
11
36827
2119
嗰個就係你嘅一部分。
00:50
That's your water that helps to make the cloud
12
38946
2915
嗰嚿就係由你汗水形成嘅雲，
00:53
that becomes the rain that feeds the plants
13
41861
4273
將來化成雨來灌溉植物，同養動物。」
00:58
that feeds the animals."
14
46134

01:01
In my continued exploration of subjects in nature
15

2992
之後我繼續探索大自然裏面
「生命互連」嘅事物
「生命互連」嘅事物
01:04
that have the ability to illustrate the interconnection of all life,
16

我個女同我講：
「媽媽，妳應該去追風」
「媽媽，妳應該去追風」
01:09
I started storm chasing in 2008
17
57328
2701
01:12
after my daughter said, "Mom, you should do that."
18
60029
3868
所以 2008 年，我就開始追風
01:15
And so three days later, driving very fast,
19
63897
6211
因此我三日之後，渣得好快
為嘅就係追一個叫「超大胞」嘅巨雲
01:22
I found myself stalking a single type of giant cloud called the super cell,
20
70108
7260
01:29
capable of producing grapefruit-size hail
21
77368
4451
呢種巨雲能夠製造柚咁大嘅冰雹
01:33
and spectacular tornadoes,
22
81819
1993
同壯觀嘅龍捲風
01:35
although only two percent actually do.
23
83812
6306
但其實只有 2% 「超大胞」
落到大冰雹
落到大冰雹
呢的雲可以闊成 50 英里
01:42
These clouds can grow so big, up to 50 miles wide
24
90118
5144
高度可以有 65,000 呎
01:47
and reach up to 65,000 feet into the atmosphere.
25
95262
4066
佢哋大到可以阻擋所有陽光
01:51
They can grow so big, blocking all daylight,
26
99328
2374
令到下面嘅事物好黑暗、好不祥
01:53
making it very dark and ominous standing under them.
27
101702
5124
追風係一個非常有質感嘅經驗
01:58
Storm chasing is a very tactile experience.
28
106826
2902
02:01
There's a warm, moist wind blowing at your back
29
109728
4267
溫暖同潮濕嘅風吹著你嘅背脊
02:05
and the smell of the earth, the wheat, the grass, the charged particles.
30
113995
6702
泥土、小麥、青草和帶電粒子帶住氣味
02:12
And then there are the colors in the clouds
31
120697
3397
雲層呈現唔同色彩
形成冰雹嘅雲層，有綠色、綠松藍
02:16
of hail forming, the greens and the turquoise blues.
32
124094
5190
我學識咗對閃電產生敬畏
02:21
I've learned to respect the lightning.
33
129284
3278
02:24
My hair used to be straight.
34
132562
2134
因為我嘅頭髮以前係直㗎
02:26
(Laughter)
35
134696
1424
（笑聲）
02:28
I'm just kidding.
36
136120
1624
講笑咋
02:29
(Laughter)
37
137744
2142
（笑聲）
02:31
What really excites me about these storms
38
139886
3176
真正令我興奮嘅係風暴嘅動態
02:35
is their movement, the way they swirl and spin and undulate,
39
143062
4217
即佢哋會同熔岩燈形狀嘅乳狀雲
02:39
with their lava lamp-like mammatus clouds.
40
147279
4018
一齊旋動、自轉同起伏
佢哋就好似可愛嘅怪獸一樣
02:43
They become lovely monsters.
41
151297
2732
02:46
When I'm photographing them,
42
154029
2533
當我影相嘅時候
我無啦啦記返我爺爺教過我嘅嘢
02:48
I cannot help but remember my grandfather's lesson.
43
156562
3733
02:52
As I stand under them,
44
160295
1992
當我企喺雲嘅下面
02:54
I see not just a cloud,
45
162287
2207
我唔單止見到一嚿雲
我仲明白到我有幸目睹嘅現象
02:56
but understand that what I have the privilege to witness
46
164494
2883
02:59
is the same forces, the same process in a small-scale version
47
167377
4450
係由製造我哋銀河、太陽系、太陽
03:03
that helped to create our galaxy, our solar system, our sun
48
171827
6318
甚至我哋地球嘅同一個力量所造成
雲團只係呢股力量嘅迷你版
03:10
and even this very planet.
49
178145
4558
03:14
All my relations. Thank you.
50
182703
2457
所以全部嘢都係有關嘅。多謝
03:17
(Applause)
