海洋里生活着无数的野生动物 大小各异
Oceans are filled with so much wildlife: creatures big and small,
又美丽至极 风情各异
the exotic and beautiful to the wonderfully weird.
嗨 我是萨姆
Hey, it’s me Sam,
如果你会变色的话 不是很帅么
Wouldn’t it be so cool if you could change colors?
有一种鱼 不仅像变色龙一样
Well, there’s a fish in there that can not only change its colors,
会变色 还能钻进沙子里
but acts just like a chameleon and can blend right into the sand.
看到了嘛？
See?
诶 刚刚它还在这的！
Wait! He was just there a minute ago.
现在不见了！
Now he’s gone.
让我们去看看能不能找到它们吧
We’ve got to go see if we can find them.
来吧 穿上潜水服
Come on! Let’s go get suited up
潜入水去学习更多黑带软棘鱼的知识吧
and dive down to learn more cool facts about the sand tilefish.
《萨姆视野》
WHAT SAM SEES
我现在在国家水族馆
I’m here at the National Aquarium
正和高级安全潜水指导员杰基·库珀在一起
with senior dive Safety Officer Jackie Cooper.
我们将下潜到大西洋珊瑚礁展区
We’re diving in the Atlantic coral reef tank
去寻找黑带软棘鱼
to check out the sand tilefish.
准备好了么？出发！
Ready? Set, Go!
看这些热带鱼
Look at all the tropical fish.
[歌声]
[Sing]
杰基说这个水族箱里有一千条黑带软棘鱼
Jackie says there’re nearly one thousand of them in this tank.
可以说是很多了
That’s a lot of fish.
在这些生物里找一条
Now, this is going to be a challenge
喜欢埋在沙子的鱼
to find a fish that likes to blend in the sand
真是一个挑战
among all these creatures.
[音乐声]
[Music]
如果我游得离水底再近些的话
Maybe if I swim closer to the buttom,
兴许能在沙子里找到它们
I might find them in the sand.
哇！
Wow!
那条鱼刚才搬动了那块石头诶！震惊！
That fish just moved that rock, that’s amazing!
那就是软棘鱼了
It’s got to be the sand tilefish.
它身形瘦长 看到它是怎么钻近沙子然后消失的么
It’s long and thin, see how it blends and can disappear.
它们开始就在那儿 现在不见了
First, it’s there then it’s not.
真是一条非常狡猾的鱼
That’s a pretty tricky fish.
现在让我们浮出水面
Let’s go up and find out
了解更多有关软棘鱼的神奇的事情吧
what other cool things the sand tilefish can do.
—看到那条鱼了嘛？—太震撼了！
– Do you see the fish?- That’s the coolest thing ever.
那就是黑带软棘鱼
That was a sand tilefish,
它们会掘沙穴 所以才把它们叫做黑带软棘鱼
it burrows in the sand, that’s why they’re called the sand tilefish.
好棒啊 为什么它们喜欢挖洞呢？
That’s so cool, why do they like to burrow?
那是它们建造安全住所的一种方式
It’s a way of building a safe place to live.
它们挖洞的时候会用到岩石么？
Do they use the rocks when they burrowed?
注意到了么 它们会把石块
If you notice that it moves the rock
搬到洞穴的顶端
to the top of the burrow,
然后在洞穴出口周围
so that eventually it will build a little ring of rocks
用石头搭一个环形带
around the entrance to its burrow.
当一天结束后它们钻进洞穴后
And when it goes in its burrow at the end of the day,
它会用其中一块石头将洞穴出口关闭
it’ll close the burrow behind it with one of those rocks.
那像是它自己的一扇拒绝不速之客的小门
It’s like its own little door to keep out unwanted guests.
软棘鱼的解剖结构有什么奇特之处么？
What is different about this sand tile anatomy?
你可以看到它身形很长
You notice that it was a long fish,
而且有一个很长的背鳍
and it had a really long extended dorsal fin.
背鳍能帮它掘沙和搬动运送石块
That let it dig the sand and lift heavy rocks,
就像一根长杠杆一样
and move them around like a longer lever.
一条成年软棘鱼可长达27英寸
And an adult sand tilefish can grow up to 27 inches
大概有两把尺子那么长
about the size of two rulers,
因此它们非常强壮 而且是优秀的掘沙者
so they’re strong and great diggers.
软棘鱼是像女王鲀那样变色么？
Do sand tiles change colors like queen triggerfish do?
它们不会像女王鲀那样会变成紫色
So they don’t turn purple like a queen trigger,
但它们也会变色
but they can change color.
以繁殖期的变色最为典型
And typically when they’re showing breeding colors,
其身体顶部的颜色会变深
on the top of the body will be dark,
身体的下半部颜色会变浅
and the bottom half of the body will be light,
所以大概就是顶部颜色深
so it’ll almost be like darker in the top
底部浅
and lighter on the bottom.
[音乐]
[Music]
你注意到它们的脸上有一个闪光蓝色标志么？
Did you notice on their face that they have iridescent blue markings?
嗯 而且就在眼睛那儿
Yes, I notice that they are right on the eyes.
是的 那个非常好看
Yeah, it was really really pretty.
这种鱼太让人印象深刻了
These fish are quite impressive.
感谢杰基指导我们的潜水之旅
Thanks Jackie for taking us along for the dive.
[音乐]
[Music]
今天真是太有意思了！
Today was so fun!
我们学到哪些好玩的软棘鱼的知识呢？
What are some cool facts we learned about the sand tilefish?
它们会用嘴巴搬动石块
They move rocks with their mouths.
在用嘴搬完石头后
After they move the rock with their mouth,
它们把石头当成洞穴的门
they use it as a door in their burrow,
然后把门关上 像“禁止入内”一样
and then close it like “do not enter”.
一条可以变色
A fish that can change colors
还能在捕食者面前隐身的鱼
and make itself invisible to predators.
可以说是非常聪明了！
That’s one super smart fish.
