For this video, I travel to the absolutely gorgeous Monterey, California to find out why so many people say it has the best aquarium in America.

在這段視頻中，我來到了絕對美麗的加利福尼亞州蒙特雷，看看為什麼這麼多人說這裡有全美最好的水族館。

The world famous Monterey Bay Aquarium has been revolutionizing marine husbandry, research and expanding conservation efforts since 1984, like campaigning to ban the shark fin trade in California, organizing a strong commitment to sustainable seafood, successfully caring for and releasing great white sharks, and so much more that you'll learn along the way.

自 1984 年以來，世界聞名的蒙特雷灣水族館一直在革新海洋飼養、研究和擴大保護工作，如在加利福尼亞州發起禁止魚翅貿易的運動、組織對可持續海產品的堅定承諾、成功照顧和放生大白鯊，以及您將在途中瞭解到的更多內容。

關係子句

For our three-part tour, you'll see the best of their 770 plants and animals from the waters that are right outside the window, the open ocean, and a world unlike any other.

在我們由三部分組成的遊覽中，您將從窗外的水域、開闊的海洋和與眾不同的世界中看到 770 種動植物的精華。

Before we get started, I would really appreciate it if you pressed those like and subscribe buttons to officially join our zoo crew.

在我們開始之前，如果您能按下 "喜歡 "和 "訂閱 "按鈕，正式加入我們的動物園團隊，我會非常感激。

If you haven't already, then I would like all of you to share one reason why everyone should visit your local aquarium.

如果您還沒有這樣做，那麼我想請您和大家分享一個為什麼每個人都應該參觀當地水族館的理由。

I did not have the pleasure of staying in the city, but to get here, I drove two hours from San Francisco.

我無緣在這座城市逗留，但為了來到這裡，我從舊金山驅車兩個小時。

Like a lot of aquariums, they don't have their own parking, so I settled for the Cannery Row Public Parking Garage that's just a seven-minute walk away.

和許多水族館一樣，它們沒有自己的停車場，所以我選擇了步行七分鐘就能到達的 Cannery Row 公共停車場。

Aquariums are also known for being a bit on the pricey side, and Monterey is no exception.

水族館也以價格偏高而聞名，蒙特雷也不例外。

But believe me, no matter what you spend, it is worth it.

但請相信我，無論您花多少錢，都是值得的。

We'll be taking a left into the ocean's edge and the coastal habitat of Monterey Bay.

我們將左轉進入海洋邊緣和蒙特雷灣的海岸棲息地。

The first main hallway starts you off kind of small.

It's made up of four different zones, Deep Reef, Sandy Floor, Shell Reef, and The Wharf, displaying mostly overlooked species that can be found just outside the aquarium.

它由四個不同的區域組成：深礁、沙地、貝殼礁和碼頭，展示的大多是在水族館外就能找到的被忽視的物種。

Even though a lot of what you'll find is so small that some of them need to be magnified, This hallway makes up the largest collection in the entire aquarium with nearly 100 species.

儘管你能找到的很多東西都非常小，有些甚至需要放大才能看到，但這個走廊是整個水族館最大的收藏品，有近 100 個品種。

The entire way, you're able to follow along a 90-foot-long, 312,000-gallon, hourglass-shaped tank.

沿途您可以看到一個長 90 英尺、容量為 31.2 萬加侖的沙漏形水箱。

This shape gives the sharks room to glide and turn, which helps them get rid of metabolic waste and muscle tissue.

這種形狀為鯊魚提供了滑行和轉彎的空間，有助於它們排出代謝廢物和肌肉組織。

You'll find striped sea bass, leopard sharks, white sturgeons, giant sea bass, a top predator that can weigh 550 pounds.

您會發現條紋海鱸、豹紋鯊、白鱘、巨型海鱸（一種重達 550 磅的頂級掠食者）。

But what you want to look out for, though, is something found in very few aquariums.

不過，你要注意的是，在極少數水族箱中都能發現的東西。

The Broadnose Sevengill Shark, one of two sharks with seven gills on either side of their body.

寬吻七鰓鯊（Broadnose Sevengill Shark）是身體兩側有七個鰓的兩種鯊魚之一。

Most have five, and they only have one dorsal fin, while most sharks have two.

大多數鯊魚有五個背鰭，而且它們只有一個背鰭，而大多數鯊魚有兩個背鰭。

Its upper teeth are jagged, its lower teeth are comb-shaped, perfect for tearing flesh off of an octopus, dead animals, and they've even been observed hunting seals in packs.

它們的上牙呈鋸齒狀，下牙呈梳狀，非常適合撕咬章魚和動物屍體上的肉，甚至有人觀察到它們成群結隊地獵殺海豹。

The very end of this gallery is where I learned how much this aquarium values education and conservation.

在展廳的最後，我瞭解到這個水族館對教育和保護的重視程度。

To further promote the importance of sustainable seafood, they installed the Real Cost Cafe, a fake but still interactive diner.

為了進一步宣傳可持續海鮮的重要性，他們安裝了 "真實成本咖啡館"（Real Cost Cafe），這是一家假冒的但仍然可以互動的餐廳。

Just click on one of the fish listed on the menu, and three virtual chefs and your check will give reasons as to whether or not it's okay to order certain seafood because it may or may not be ethically farmed or caught.

只需點擊菜單上的一種魚，三位虛擬廚師和您的支票就會給出理由，說明是否可以點某些海鮮，因為這些海鮮可能是或可能不是道德養殖或捕撈的。

But we'll learn more about this in part two.

不過，我們將在第二部分中進一步瞭解。

The second gallery in Ocean's Edge is the Rocky Shore, opening up with hermit crabs, pipefish, and another virtual expert talking about the importance of wetlands.

海洋邊緣 "的第二個展廳是 "岩石海岸"，以寄居蟹、琵琶魚和另一位虛擬專家講述溼地的重要性開場。

But everyone flocks to this walkthrough aviary.

但每個人都會蜂擁而至這個穿行鳥舍。

When you think birds in an aquarium, you might think penguins and puffins.

說到水族館裡的鳥類，您可能會想到企鵝和海雀。

Monterey has those, but also gives Sanctuary to overlooked and underappreciated shore birds from the beaches and dunes, and you can get really close to them.

蒙特雷不僅有這些鳥類，還為海灘和沙丘上被忽視和低估的海岸鳥類提供了聖地，您可以與它們近距離接觸。

This corner blends life from the land and the sea, mixing oyster catchers with rays and sharks.

這個角落融合了來自陸地和海洋的生命，將牡蠣捕手與鰩魚和鯊魚混合在一起。

順便說一句，這不是一個觸摸式坦克。

Also, if you don't feel like crouching down to see underwater, you can move and pinpoint this periscope.

此外，如果你不想蹲下來看水下，也可以移動和精確定位這個潛望鏡。

In recent years, you'd find ten different kinds of shorebirds in the main exhibit.

近年來，你會在主展區發現十種不同的岸鳥。

Almost all of them came from other wildlife rescue stations across the country after being injured or abandoned before they even hatched, and some are rehabilitated and released into the wild.

它們幾乎都是在孵化前受傷或被遺棄後從全國各地的其他野生動物救助站來的，有些經過康復後被放歸野外。

To keep the birds busy, keepers hide insects in the sand so they can hunt just like they would in the wild, and some days the staff will open the windows so you can all feel the breeze.

為了讓鳥兒們忙碌起來，飼養員會把昆蟲藏在沙子裡，這樣它們就能像在野外一樣捕食了，有時工作人員還會打開窗戶，讓大家都能感受到微風。

And to look like an actual shoreline, it's supposed to blend with the bay in the background, but on the inside, the dune slopes into a saltwater shallow.

為了讓沙丘看起來像真正的海岸線，沙丘應該與背景中的海灣融為一體，但在沙丘的內側，沙丘傾斜成一片海水淺灘。

The birds on this side don't live with sharks, but they're still definitely not alone.

這邊的鳥兒雖然沒有和鯊魚生活在一起，但也絕對不孤單。

The rest of the rocky shore is the most hands-on part of the aquarium, a batray touch tank that looks like it connects to the oyster catchers, which by the way, are much easier to see outside of the aviary.

岩石海岸的其餘部分是水族館中最容易動手的部分，這是一個蝙蝠式觸摸水槽，看起來好像與牡蠣捕捉器相連，順便說一下，在鳥舍外面更容易看到牡蠣捕捉器。

There's a touch pool filled with kelp and smaller creatures, a wheel feature where if you spin it, barnacles will come out to feed.

這裡有一個觸摸池，裡面長滿了海帶和小生物，還有一個轉盤，只要你轉動它，藤壺就會出來覓食。

But you're going to want to get a good spot in this walkthrough tunnel, where timing is everything.

不過，在這條穿行隧道里，你要找一個好位置，因為時間就是一切。

The Wave Crash Gallery drops 600 gallons of water every minute into an all-outdoor display.

海浪衝擊館每分鐘向室外展示區投放 600 加侖的水。

Not only is this a thrilling feature, but it was made to teach visitors about high and low tides, which perfectly matches the theme of the Great Tide Pool.

這不僅是一項驚險刺激的功能，而且是為了向遊客傳授有關漲潮和退潮的知識而製作的，這與大潮池的主題完美契合。

The water that circulates from the bay that goes into the aquarium is then emptied into this partially man-made reservoir.

從海灣流入水族館的循環水隨後被排入這個部分人工建造的水庫。

Not only is wildlife welcome to use it, but the aquarium has used it to rehabilitate pelicans, seals, and two fictional humpback whales in Star Trek IV.

水族館不僅歡迎野生動物使用它，還利用它來康復鵜鶘、海豹和《星際迷航 4》中虛構的兩頭座頭鯨。

But even you can swim in it if you sign up for the Underwater Explorer's Scuba Experience.

不過，如果您報名參加水下探險家潛水體驗活動，您也可以在其中游泳。

When you're out here, you can really get a better look and see how Pixar was inspired when they were designing the Marine Life Institute and Finding Dory.

當你來到這裡，你就能真正瞭解皮克斯在設計海洋生物研究所和《海底總動員》時是如何獲得靈感的。

Speaking of humpback whales, it may look like a whole bunch of nothing in the bay, but depending on the season, you might see glimpses of common and Rizzo's dolphins, several kinds of whales, and even orcas.

說到座頭鯨，海灣裡可能看起來什麼都沒有，但根據季節的不同，您可能會看到普通海豚和裡佐海豚、幾種鯨魚，甚至虎鯨。

If you think you don't see anything, you might need the binoculars, but you should always be able to see pinnipeds and a large raft of sea otters.

如果你覺得什麼都沒看到，你可能需要望遠鏡，但你應該總能看到鳳頭海象和一大群海獺。

The majority of them will stay way out there and float on the surface in a group, but a few stragglers might come even closer to the aquarium, like the one I spotted just outside the window when I was eating lunch.

它們中的大多數都會呆在遠處，成群結隊地浮在水面上，但也有一些落單的可能會靠近水族館，就像我吃午飯時在窗外發現的那隻一樣。

The viewing deck also has a second outdoor tank, this time filled with loads and loads of trout, turtles, and living plants.

觀景臺上還有第二個室外水箱，裡面裝滿了鱒魚、烏龜和活生生的植物。

And if you were to follow it, it'll take you back inside and lead you to the aquarium's crown jewel.

如果你沿著這條路走，就會回到水族館內，看到水族館的鎮館之寶。

This is the famous kelp forest, 343,000 gallons, 65 feet wide, 28 feet tall, making it one of the tallest aquarium exhibits in the world.

這是著名的海藻森林，容量為 343,000 加侖，寬 65 英尺，高 28 英尺，是世界上最高的水族館展品之一。

Kelp forests are very important to the California coast's ecosystem.

海藻林對加利福尼亞海岸的生態系統非常重要。

They're like tropical rainforests in terms of its biodiversity and how they provide shelter for hundreds of animals.

就生物多樣性而言，它們就像熱帶雨林，為數以百計的動物提供棲息地。

Before becoming an opening day attraction, no aquarium was able to maintain a living kelp forest in an artificial setting.

在成為開放日景點之前，還沒有一家水族館能夠在人工環境中維持活體海藻林。

They allow the forest to grow in direct sunlight. 2,000 gallons of water from the bay is pumped into the tank every minute, and every six seconds, a surge machine replicates the currents of California's waters.

它們讓森林在陽光直射下生長。每分鐘從海灣抽取 2000 加侖的水注入水箱，每隔 6 秒鐘就會有一臺浪湧機模擬加利福尼亞水域的水流。

This process helps the kelp grow an average of four inches a day and gives this display its iconic look.

這個過程讓海藻平均每天生長四英寸，也讓這個展示臺看起來更有標誌性。

Including the kelp, about 20 species call this home, but the most popular creature that you find in this area doesn't live in the tank.

包括海藻在內，約有 20 種生物在這裡安家，但在這一區域發現的最受歡迎的生物並不住在魚缸裡。

In fact, they don't even live underwater at all.

事實上，它們根本就不是生活在水下。

On select days around 1.30, the keepers will bring out Makana, a Laysan albatross.

在特定的日子裡，大約 1:30 左右，飼養員會把信天翁 Makana 帶出來。

Laysans are on the smaller side, but in general, albatrosses are the world's largest seabirds.

信天翁體型偏小，但總的來說，信天翁是世界上體型最大的海鳥。

In the wild, they are known for traveling thousands and thousands of miles without even touching land.

在野外，它們甚至不接觸陸地就能旅行數千英里。

It would only take them around two months to fly around the world.

他們只需要兩個月左右的時間就能飛遍全世界。

Makana, though, is here because she sustained an injury to her wing, therefore wouldn't be able to survive in the wild.

馬卡娜之所以在這裡，是因為它的翅膀受了傷，是以無法在野外生存。

The Monterey Bay Aquarium claims to be the only institution in North America that cares for an albatross, so this encounter might be your only opportunity of ever seeing one.

蒙特雷灣水族館自稱是北美唯一一家照顧信天翁的機構，是以這次邂逅可能是您見到信天翁的唯一機會。

And based on the crowd, it was nice to see that people apparently got that message.

從現場的情況來看，人們顯然已經領會了這一資訊。

The kelp forest can be admired from three different stories, including one that's above deck.

您可以從三個不同的樓層欣賞海藻林，其中一個樓層位於甲板之上。

The second story continues this kelp mania in the enchanted kelp forest.

第二個故事將在迷人的海藻森林中繼續海藻狂熱。

There's kelp growing in a cylindrical tank, another kelp touch pool, seaweed gardens, and you've heard of shark tunnels, but you've probably never seen a tunnel filled with, you guessed it, more kelp.

在一個圓柱形水箱中生長著海帶，還有另一個海帶觸摸池、海藻花園，你聽說過鯊魚隧道，但你可能從未見過一個裝滿海帶的隧道，你猜對了，就是更多的海帶。

The Splash Zone is essentially a children's zoo.

嬉水區本質上是一個兒童動物園。

The Coral Kingdom draws in both adults and children with vibrant displays.

珊瑚王國以生動的展示吸引著大人和孩子。

There's a playground and interactive water features, leaping blennies, but everyone knows extra fun is by and from the penguins.

這裡有遊樂場、互動水景、跳躍的小企鵝，但每個人都知道，更多的樂趣來自企鵝。

Though they don't have an outdoor display, the aquarium says the cold currents of their native South Africa are similar to Monterey Bay's.

雖然它們沒有室外展示，但水族館表示，它們的故鄉南非的寒流與蒙特雷灣的寒流相似。

To stay warm, African penguins have a double layer of insulation with densely packed feathers.

為了保暖，非洲企鵝用密密麻麻的羽毛進行雙層保溫。

They face the opposite problem on land and try to avoid overheating.

它們在陸地上面臨的問題恰恰相反，要儘量避免過熱。

They'll resort to panting and pump blood to certain parts of the body that are less insulated.

它們會採取喘氣的方式，將血液泵到身體某些隔熱性較差的部位。

I read this exhibit was meant to be temporary, and there are talks of either an expansion or plans to improve this habitat.

我瞭解到，這個展覽只是臨時性的，有傳言說要擴建或計劃改善這個棲息地。

Next to that is an above-surface view of the Sevengill Shark Tank and close encounters with California morays, and we are off to the last gallery of the day.

接下來是七鰓鰻鯊魚池的水面景觀，以及與加利福尼亞海鰻的親密接觸，我們將前往今天的最後一個展廳。

Compared to other world-famous American aquariums, Monterey's collection lacks mammals.

與其他世界著名的美國水族館相比，蒙特雷的水族館缺少哺乳動物。

Since none of the exhibits were designed to house larger mammals like whales and dolphins, they sort of use that kind of wildlife that you can find outside as a quote-unquote exhibit.

由於所有展品都不是為飼養鯨魚和海豚等大型哺乳動物而設計的，所以他們就把在室外能找到的那種野生動物作為展品。

They do have one furry friend, and it's possibly the best marine mammal you can ask to see.

它們確實有一個毛茸茸的朋友，這可能是你能見到的最好的海洋哺乳動物了。

Ladies and gents, the Southern Sea Otter.

女士們，先生們，這就是南方海獺。

The first floor windows give an underwater view of their acrobatics in 55,000 gallons.

從一樓的窗戶可以看到它們在 55000 加侖水下的雜技表演。

The second floor, you can watch them at the surface.

在二樓，你可以在海面上看到它們。

Just like every sea otter habitat we've come across so far, but all of those other ones are really bare and uninspiring.

就像我們迄今為止遇到的所有海獺棲息地一樣，但所有其他棲息地都是光禿禿的，毫無生氣。

The kelp might not be real, I think, but there's growth on the rockwork.

我想，海藻可能不是真的，但岩石上長出了海藻。

If I never saw this and you told me Garibaldi's were mixed with otters, I don't think I'd believe you.

如果我從沒見過這個，而你告訴我加里波第人和水獺混在一起，我想我不會相信你。

On top of that, after looking around, I feel like I'm an expert on sea otters now.

此外，在四處參觀之後，我覺得自己現在已經是海獺專家了。

Everything you need to learn about them is right here.

About their diet, why they don't need fresh water, why they're threatened in the wild, how a mom cares for her pup, how the aquarium cares for pups, and you can even compare and contrast the thickness and texture of their fur to a muskrat's and synthetic fur.

關於它們的飲食、為什麼它們不需要淡水、為什麼它們在野外受到威脅、媽媽如何照顧幼崽、水族館如何照顧幼崽，您甚至還可以將它們的皮毛厚度和質地與麝鼠皮毛和合成皮毛進行對比。

Since year 1 in 1984, Monterey has been rehabbing and releasing injured and orphaned sea otters.

從 1984 年的第一年起，蒙特雷就開始對受傷的海獺和海獺孤兒進行康復和放歸。

I found one source that claims back then, staff would swim with rescued otter pups in the Great Tide Pool, teaching them to swim and hunt.

我找到一份資料稱，當時，工作人員會在大潮池中與獲救的水獺幼崽一起游泳，教它們游泳和捕食。

In 2001, they became the first place to use sea otter surrogates.

2001 年，他們成為第一個使用海獺代用品的地方。

A few of those females that are deemed unreleasable will act as surrogate mothers to rescued pups so they can show them what it takes to survive in the wild.

其中一些被認為無法放歸的雌性動物將充當獲救幼崽的代孕母親，向它們展示在野外生存的艱辛。

From 2002 to 2016, 37 surrogate-reared pups graduated from this program and were released into the Monterey Bay.

從 2002 年到 2016 年，共有 37 只代養幼崽從該計劃畢業並被放歸蒙特雷灣。

And that is where we will leave off for now because I need a breather.

我們現在就到此為止，因為我需要喘口氣。

While most of the left side of the aquarium focuses a lot on conservation and really gets you to appreciate the wildlife in the bay, the right side that's coming up is conservation-focused too, but also compared to the left side, it will blow your mind.

水族館左側的大部分區域都非常注重保護，讓你真正欣賞到海灣中的野生動物，而即將開放的右側區域也非常注重保護，但與左側相比，它也會讓你大開眼界。

So as always, please stay tuned, stay wild everyone, and thank you for watching my first presentation of the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

是以，請大家一如既往地保持關注，保持狂野，並感謝大家收看我對蒙特雷灣水族館的首次介紹。
