From time to time when maybe work or school gets extra stressful, we all fantasize about

just getting away from it all; going into some secluded cabin with a good book, hot cup of

tea and the desire to meticulously keep track of the weather.

茶，並希望能細緻地記錄天氣情況。

Okay, well maybe that's just the dream of the man featured in the short documentary

好吧，也許這只是紀錄片短片中那個男人的夢想。

"The Snow Guardian" who became an accidental scientific researcher by just living his life

只因生活而意外成為科研人員的 "雪衛士"

This is "The Snow Guardian", and remember to stick around after the film for a short Q&A

這裡是 "雪地守護者"，片子結束後記得堅持看完，有一個簡短的問答。

[NARRATOR] Have you ever wondered if you watch the snow long enough?

你有沒有想過你看雪的時間是否足夠長？

I spell it small b-i-l-l-y small b-a-r-r.

And you make a fire and you're sitting by the fire and you're reading with a cup of

你生了一堆火，坐在火堆旁 讀著書，喝著咖啡

它真的是一個人住在這個房子裡。

Here he grows his garden, has an impressive hat collection, loves cricket, and dreams of

他在這裡種植花園，收藏了許多令人印象深刻的帽子，喜歡板球，並夢想著有一天能成為世界上最優秀的球員。

Every couple of weeks, he skis back into the nearest town for supplies.

每隔幾周，他就會滑雪回最近的小鎮去補給。

He's been doing this for more than 40 winters.

But billy does a little more than just read and drink tea.

但billy做的事情不僅僅是讀書喝茶。

meticulous record of snow in his little part of the world.

在他的小天地裡，細緻地記錄著雪的情況。

[BILLY] Okay, said February 26, 1978...10 and a half inches of snow that day, January 20... minus

好的，1978年2月26日... 1月20日那天下了10.5英寸的雪... 負數

1980年4月28日11點半......我41歲。

A weasel was roaming around inside the shack.

[BILLY]I lived in an 8 by 10-foot old shack, no electricity, no water and I had nothing.

[BILLY]我住在一個8乘10英尺的老房子裡， 沒有電，沒有水，我什麼都沒有。

The main thing I interacted with was the weather and the animals.

So I started recording things just because there was something to do.

所以我開始錄東西，只是因為有事可做。

I had nothing to prove no goals, no anything, So it was actually a researcher to lab wanted to

我沒有什麼可證明的，沒有目標，沒有任何東西，所以它實際上是一個研究人員對實驗室想

And then once he started looking at it scientifically, then all of a sudden, like these decades

然後一旦他開始用科學的方法去看，然後突然間，像這幾十年來

worth of data are being used for more than my own curiosity.

價值的數據被用於超過我自己的好奇心。

[NARRATOR] He has done this every day, twice a day. All winter long.

他每天都這樣做，一天兩次。整個冬天。

[BILLY] I keep going until the snow is gone.

If it snowed, I record that no matter when.

如果下雪了，不管什麼時候，我都會記錄下來。

我看到的趨勢是以後會出現永久性積雪

We'll have years where there was a lot of snow on the ground.

我們會有很多年，地面上有很多雪。

And then we lost snow sooner than years that had a lot less snow just because it's a lot warmer now

然後，我們失去的雪比少雪的年份更快，只是因為現在天氣暖和多了。

[NARRATOR] In normal winter, you'd expect to have four to five record high temperatures.

在正常的冬天，你會期望有四到五個創紀錄的高溫。

[BILLY]不僅天氣暖和了很多，我們還收到了很多灰塵吹進來。

soon as you get little dust on the snow– it melts like that.

只要你在雪地上沾上一點灰塵，它就會像那樣融化。

You're talking about the snowpack, the water supply for most of the Southwest.

你說的是雪堆，是西南地區大部分地區的水源。

Just because I don't know how you reverse something like that.

只是因為我不知道你是怎麼逆轉這樣的事情的。

As we leave Colorado behind, billy imparts, one last bit of advice.

當我們離開科羅拉多州後， 比利傳授，最後一點建議。

No, I learned to ski to get around. I learned how to ski better so I wouldn't fall down

不，我學滑雪是為了到處走走。我學的是如何更好地滑雪，這樣我就不會摔倒了。

Over a period of time I kind of learned how to survive in this environment.

一段時間以來，我算是學會了如何在這種環境中生存。

Actually learning to fall is probably one of the most important thing.

其實學會摔跤可能是最重要的一件事。

You're gonna fall, sit. A lot easier falling on your butt than on your face.

你會摔倒的，坐著吧摔在屁股上比摔在臉上容易得多。

Now let's talk to the filmmakers about how they found this unique story and what they

現在讓我們來談談電影製作人是如何發現這個獨特的故事的，以及他們是如何

And I was the director on "The Snow Guardian",

I'm Neil Losin, I'm the co-owner of Day's Edge Productions and was also a producer on "The Snow Guardian."

And in the summers, it's a really busy vibrant place with, you know, 100 to 150, researchers

from all over the world doing science up in the mountains.

And in the winter, it dwindles down to more or less just billy.

And sometimes a couple of winter caretakers taking care of the facilities in town.

You'll see this in the film, but we don't describe like the mechanics of it.

But he has these platforms that are outside of his cabin.

And then from the platforms, there's, you know, this measuring stick sticking up.

然後從平臺上，有，你知道，這個測量棒伸出來。

And so in the morning, and in the evening, he goes out and he measures the snow accumulation

所以在早上和傍晚，他出去測量積雪的情況

And he will also take a same sized section, like a circumference of snow patch from that

platform, each time he measures and he will go and he'll weigh it, and he'll get, you

平臺，每次他都會去測量，他會去稱重，他會得到，你。

And he just does that every every day and twice a day.
