Hey, guys. Charlie here.
观众们,大家好,我是查理。
Let's talk a little Weird But True behind the scenes for the tree episode.
接下来我们来聊一聊世界真奇妙节目中攀爬巨大的红杉树一集的幕后故事。
He strikes.
他出击了。
The storyline starts with Kirby watching amazing nature documentary.
故事一开始,柯比正在观看《神奇自然》的纪录片。
This show is amazing.
这节目太棒了。
Being really excited about it,
她对这个真的很感兴趣,
and then looking in her backyard
然后她看了看自己的后院
and feeling that by comparison, everything looks super lame.
相比之下,一切都很糟糕。
Why would I want to go into a boring backyard when I can watch a jaguar take out a crocodile in the Amazon?
当我可以观看在亚马逊的美洲虎杀死鳄鱼的时候,我为什么还要去一个无聊的后院呢?
We have two twigs in front of us.
我们面前有两根树枝。
So, the way that I decided to prove Kirby wrong is by showing her that something as seemingly simple as trees could be really fascinating.
所以,我决定证明柯比的错的,我的方法就是让她明白,像树木这样看似简单的东西其实也很迷人。
So I take her to the coolest tree experience that you can possibly imagine.
所以我带她去体验你能想象到的最酷的树。
Climbing the largest trees in the entire world, giant sequoias.
攀爬世界上最大的树,巨杉树。
In one day, we had to take a television show and shoot it in a tree 300 feet in the air, which was absolutely insane.
一天之内,我们得拍摄一个电视节目,还是要在300英尺高的树上进行拍摄,这简直是疯了。
Our camera guy, Gabe, had never climbed a tree before in his entire life.
我们的摄像师,盖布,这辈子从来没有爬过树。
This is his first try.
这是他的第一次尝试。
He has climbed...
他爬了……
Precisely zero sequoias.
准确说是红杉树。
Precisely zero sequoias, and he learned how to climb trees today.
准确说是红杉树,他今天还学会了爬树。
First, our guides get up to the top.
首先,我们的向导到达顶部。
Then, our cameraman.
然后是我们的摄影师。
We lug all of the equipment up and then Kirby and I climb up.
我们把所有的设备都吊起来,然后我和柯比爬上去。
I made it, into the canopy.
我成功了,爬到了树冠。
Stopping every once in a while and filming segments directed towards the camera.
每隔一段时间停下来,对着摄像机拍摄片段。
You can't really tell how high you are until you look out and then just see this huge amazing view.
你不知道自己爬到了多高,直到你向外看,然后看到这幅令人惊叹的美景。
Everything was going swimmingly,
一切都进行得很顺利,
but then there was one segment,
但有一个片段,
where I was sitting at the end of a branch and talking about cones,
我坐在树枝的末端,谈论着球果,
and our cameraman apparently for him it was the one moment where you can really kind of realize you're like 350 feet off the ground.
显然对我们的摄影师来说,那一刻真的可以意识到自己离地面有350英尺。
He'd say like, ready, set, go.
他会说,准备,出发,开始。
And then he'd like hold his breath, and point out the camera towards me
然后他会屏住呼吸,把相机指向我,
until he ran out of breath, and then he had to like, baah!
直到他上气不接下气,然后他不得不大口呼气!
Look away and sort of like breathing kind of heavily and settle himself down.
他把目光移开,喘着粗气,让自己平静下来。
He had to just take a moment to search within himself to find the strength to keep going.
他需要花一点时间寻找身体里蕴藏的让他继续前进的力量。
But, he charged through, he did his job, and it turned out absolutely amazing.
但是,他坚持到底,完成了自己的工作,结果非常惊人。
