I'm Marco, and we're the Vagabrothers, brothers, vagabonds, and your go-to guides for travel tips, inspiration, and vlogs on YouTube.

我是馬可，我們是 Vagabrothers（流浪兄弟），是兄弟，是流浪者，也是您在 YouTube 上獲取旅行貼士、靈感和視頻的首選指南。

In this series, we're discovering the best of Sri Lanka, ancient cities, stunning nature, rich culture, and delicious food.

在本系列中，我們將探索斯里蘭卡最美的風景、古老的城市、迷人的自然風光、豐富的文化和美味的食物。

In episode two, we're heading to one of Sri Lanka's many national parks to get up close to the country's most treasured animals, wild elephants.

在第二集中，我們將前往斯里蘭卡眾多國家公園之一，近距離接觸該國最珍貴的動物--野生大象。

We are in the Cultural Triangle, and we have a pretty awesome day lined up.

我們在 "文化三角區"，今天的行程非常精彩。

We have left the city, and we're about to go on a safari to meet some of Sri Lanka's most magical, mythical animals, the elephants.

我們已經離開了這座城市，即將踏上野生動物園的旅程，去邂逅斯里蘭卡最神奇、最神祕的動物--大象。

Before we do that, we're going to check out what life is like here in rural Sri Lanka.

在此之前，我們先來看看斯里蘭卡農村的生活情況。

We're going to do a little village tour and get some food, and then it's safari time.

我們要去村子裡轉轉，吃點東西，然後就到野生動物園了。

Driving here in Sri Lanka is pretty insane, but it all seems to work out.

斯里蘭卡的駕駛非常瘋狂，但一切似乎都很順利。

We just hopped in a bunch of tuk-tuks and forded a river to get to this village, and now we're going to sample some local Sri Lankan cuisine with a local family.

我們剛剛跳上一輛嘟嘟車，趟過一條河，來到這個村莊，現在我們要和當地一戶人家一起品嚐斯里蘭卡當地美食。

Traditionally, people would live in situations like this where they would have the family room and the cooking area right here in the kitchen where you would spend most of your time.

傳統上，人們在這樣的環境中生活，會把家庭活動室和烹飪區都設在廚房裡，大部分時間都在這裡度過。

But at night, people would stay up in these tree houses.

但到了晚上，人們就會呆在這些樹屋裡。

The reason they would stay in these elevated tree houses is because Sri Lanka is home to thousands and thousands of wild elephants.

它們之所以會住在這些高架樹屋裡，是因為斯里蘭卡是成千上萬頭野生大象的家園。

In the past, there were even more elephants than there are now.

過去，大象的數量甚至比現在還多。

They would live in the house during the day, and then at night, they'd spend their evenings up here out in the elephant's reach, which would be safer than getting trampled because no one wants to get trampled by an elephant.

他們白天住在房子裡，晚上就在大象夠不著的地方過夜，這樣比被踩死更安全，因為沒人想被大象踩死。

She's just finished splitting a coconut on essentially a spike that they've placed in the ground.

她剛用一根插在地裡的釘子劈完一個椰子。

She's using a manni, which is like a little miniature local version of a machete.

她用的是一把曼尼刀，就像一把微型的在地版大砍刀。

We have a nice coconut full of meat, which will be used to make sambal, which is kind of like they sprinkle it on top of food, add peppers and spices and stuff, and it becomes this really delicious addition to any meal.

我們有一個裝滿肉的大椰子，可以用來製作 "三巴"（sambal），也就是把它撒在食物上，再加上胡椒和香料之類的東西，就成了一道非常美味的菜餚。

Earlier on the way here, we had a king coconut, which they use for drinking water.

早些時候，在來這裡的路上，我們吃到了一個大王椰子，他們用它來做飲用水。

And the meat, if there is any, is almost more like a gel.

即使有肉，也幾乎像凝膠一樣。

But this is very, very meaty and delicious.

This is actually a replica of how people used to live in earlier times.

這實際上是早期人們生活方式的翻版。

It's got a thatched roof made of coconut palm fronds.

它有一個用椰子樹葉做成的茅草屋頂。

They just literally took the clay and kind of grafted it onto the house.

他們只是從字面上把粘土嫁接到房子上。

Banana leaf.  Well, that was an excellent meal, but now it's time for the main course of the day.

香蕉葉  好了，這頓飯吃得不錯，現在該上今天的主菜了。

We're going on an elephant safari, but first, we've got to get there.

我們要去大象野生動物園，但首先，我們得到達那裡。

It's really hot, but luckily we have these amazing hats.

天氣真的很熱，幸好我們有這些神奇的帽子。

They're definitely saving us from the majority of the heat and the sunburns.

它們肯定能讓我們免受大部分高溫和晒傷。

We've definitely seen a bunch of clowns, a.k.a. all of us.

我們肯定見過一群小丑，也就是我們所有人。

After many hours driving, we have arrived at Taudela National Park.

經過幾個小時的車程，我們來到了陶德拉國家公園。

We're in central Sri Lanka, and we're here to see The Gathering, which is one of Asia's largest wildlife spectacles.

我們現在在斯里蘭卡中部，是來觀看亞洲最大的野生動物盛會之一 "大聚會 "的。

We're going to pile into this big old Mahindra Jeep, and we are going to go on safari.

我們要擠進這輛老式馬辛德拉吉普車，去野生動物園。

This is one of the first times that we've been on safari in a very long time, and I can't wait.

這是我們很長時間以來第一次參加野生動物園活動，我已經迫不及待了。

I've heard that going on safari in Sri Lanka is in many ways superior to doing it in East Africa.

我聽說斯里蘭卡的野生動物園在很多方面都比東非的要好。

They go around water, which makes it really easy for us to know where they're going to be, when they're going to be, so you can be very efficient.

它們繞著水走，這讓我們很容易知道它們會在哪裡、什麼時候出現，是以可以非常高效。

I've never been up close to an Asian elephant.

Actually, I've never been up close to an Asian elephant in the wild.

事實上，我從未在野外近距離接觸過亞洲象。

Words don't even describe how excited I am to see elephants right now.

我現在看到大象有多興奮，都無法用語言來形容。

All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived.

好了，女士們先生們，我們到了。

We're at this lake in the middle of the park, and we are surrounded by hundreds of elephants.

我們在公園中央的湖邊，周圍有數百頭大象。

This is the largest convergence of Asian elephants in the world.

這是世界上最大的亞洲象聚集地。

It's one of Asia's largest wildlife convergences, especially of mammals of this size.

這是亞洲最大的野生動物聚集地之一，尤其是這種體型的哺乳動物。

It's just so cool to be surrounded by so many beautiful elephants, and they're actually really close to you, as well.

被這麼多美麗的大象包圍著，感覺實在太酷了，而且它們實際上也離你很近。

We are incredibly close to these elephants, and there are just hundreds of them.

我們與這些大象的距離近得令人難以置信，而它們只有幾百頭。

I think this is a lot closer than you can get in a lot of parts of the world, notably Africa, where the elephants are actually a lot larger.

我認為這比世界上很多地方的大象都要大得多，尤其是非洲。

Elephants have been super important in Sri Lankan culture.

大象在斯里蘭卡文化中一直佔據著極其重要的地位。

I think during the time of the Sinhalese kings, it was prohibited for any citizen to hurt or kill or enslave these animals.

我認為，在僧伽羅國王時代，禁止任何公民傷害、殺害或奴役這些動物。

They were used by the government for transportation, and even for executing prisoners.

它們被政府用於運輸，甚至處決囚犯。

But then during the British time, the British saw them as a pest, and so they put a bounty on the head of elephants.

但到了英國時期，英國人認為大象是害蟲，是以懸賞大象的頭顱。

And there was one guy who killed thousands of elephants himself.

還有一個人親手殺死了幾千頭大象。

Unfortunately, these days, because the population has expanded and cities have grown, humans and elephants are coming increasingly into conflict, and 150 elephants die every single year when they accidentally wander into a human's farm and trample their crops.

不幸的是，如今由於人口膨脹和城市發展，人類與大象之間的衝突越來越多，每年都有 150 頭大象因為不小心闖入人類的農場踐踏農作物而死亡。

There's been a number of efforts to try to rehabilitate the animals that have been suffering as a result, but right now it's just beautiful to see this many elephants wandering through the wild.

我們已經做了很多努力，試圖讓那些是以而受苦的動物恢復正常生活，但現在看到這麼多大象在野外遊蕩，實在是太美了。

I feel like my heart is full right now because I've never seen elephants out in the wild like this.

我覺得我的心現在滿滿的，因為我從來沒有在野外這樣看過大象。

Grazing a herd of them this large, it's really cool.

放牧這麼大的牛群，真的很酷。

And watching them interact with each other is really fascinating, and there's babies everywhere, which is so adorable.

看著他們互相交流真的很吸引人，而且到處都是嬰兒，太可愛了。
