Pain is universal, but what shapes us is how we deal with it.

痛苦是共通的，但塑造我們的是我們如何應對它。

I am traveling to the Amazon rainforest to willingly expose myself to some cultural traditions that aren't for the faint of heart.

我要前往亞馬遜雨林，自願體驗一些不適合膽小者的傳統習俗。

I'll be guided by the Yukuna, an indigenous group that believes suffering can heal sickness and develop mental resilience.

我將由尤庫納人帶領，他們是一個相信痛苦能治癒疾病並培養心理韌性的原住民群體。

My challenge to withstand one of their most extreme rituals being stung by fiery bullet ants.

我的挑戰是要承受他們最極端的儀式之一，被火辣的子彈蟻螫咬。

Will the pain be my path to personal growth or simply all pain and no gain?

疼痛會是我成長的途徑，還是隻有痛苦沒有收穫？

I'm Eva Zubeck and this is super skilled.

我是 Eva Zubeck，這裡是 super skilled。

Today I'm making my way through Leticia, the southernmost city in Colombia and where all roads lead into the Amazon rainforest.

今天我要前往 Leticia，這是哥倫比亞最南端的城市，也是所有道路通往亞馬遜雨林的地方。

I am hoping to enjoy one last pleasure of city life.

我希望好好享受最後一點城市生活的樂趣。

Before I go off the grid and into the jungle.

在我進入叢林、與世隔絕之前。

Well, this is pretty much the last stretch of pavement before the Amazon begins.

嗯，這差不多是亞馬遜開始前的最後一段柏油路了。

And for the next few days, we're not gonna have much access to running water or power or cell signal.

接下來幾天，我們將很難用到自來水、電力或手機訊號。

事實上，沒有任何奢侈品或舒適可言。

Anyway, I better get going because I'm supposed to be meeting our producer somewhere where the road ends.

總之，我最好趕快走，因為我應該要在路的盡頭跟我們的製作人會合。

This was just the first leg of my journey into the Amazon.

這只是我進入亞馬遜雨林旅程的第一段。

I was heading north to the outskirts of Leticia to meet our producer, Dan.

我要往北前往 Leticia 的郊區，跟我們的製作人 Dan 會合。

Together we would trek deeper into the rainforest.

There would be no motorbikes from here on out.

We were off on a hike into the forest to meet members of the Yukuna indigenous community.

我們要徒步進入森林，去拜訪尤庫納原住民社群的成員。

The Yukuna have lived in the Colombian Amazon for centuries.

尤庫納人世世代代都居住在哥倫比亞的亞馬遜雨林。

But like so many other indigenous communities, booming industry pushed them from their ancestral lands.

但就像許多其他原住民社群一樣，蓬勃發展的工業將他們趕離了祖傳土地。

Some have been able to rebuild elsewhere in the Amazon and preserve their ancient cultural traditions and rituals.

有些人已經能夠在亞馬遜雨林的另一個地方重建家園，並保留他們古老的文化傳統和儀式。

My mission will be to experience some of the rituals that the Yakuna believe make you stronger and more resilient.

我的任務是體驗一些尤庫納人相信能讓你更強壯、更有韌性的儀式。

He's a Yukuna shaman and healer and a well respected elder in the community.

他是尤庫納的薩滿和治療師，也是社群裡備受尊敬的長老。

Cassava is a root vegetable also known as yuca, and it's a pretty staple food in the Amazon.

樹薯是一種根莖類蔬菜，也被稱為 yuca，它是亞馬遜地區相當重要的主食。

Here they've made it into a kind of flatbread with a dipping sauce made of fermented cassava juice called tucupi.

這裡把它做成一種扁麵包，搭配用發酵樹薯汁 tucupi 做成的沾醬。

After our welcome snack, Fermin explained that the structure we were standing in is called.

享用完我們的迎賓點心後，費爾明解釋說，我們站著的這個建築物叫做。

It was handmade by the community and serves as a spiritual gathering Space for dances and ceremonies.

這是社區手工製作的，作為跳舞和儀式的精神聚集空間。

I would be participating in several of those ceremonies.

Many of these rituals are also tied to the sensation of pain.

許多這些儀式也與疼痛的感覺有關。

And I'd be building up to one of the most painful the bullet ant ceremony.

而我將會經歷其中最疼痛的儀式之一：子彈蟻儀式。

But right now, it was time for the next step in my welcome.

但現在，是時候進行我的歡迎儀式的下一步了。

Alberto brought me outside to paint my face with a red dye made from the seeds of the achiote plant, which is native to the Amazon.

阿爾貝託帶我到外面，用一種來自胭脂樹種子的紅色染料來畫我的臉，這種樹原產於亞馬遜。

So this is the welcome that you get into the Amazon rainforest.

這就是你進入亞馬遜雨林的歡迎儀式。

I'm told that this is supposed to turn out to be a butterfly, so I'm really curious.

聽說這個應該會變成一隻蝴蝶，所以我很好奇。

The wings were meant to help me along on my travels, like a butterfly.

翅膀原本是要像蝴蝶一樣，幫助我旅行的。

Next, they drew an anaconda on my arm to help me adapt to the forest.

接著，他們在我手臂上畫了一條森蚺，幫助我適應森林。

And with that, my first ceremony was complete.

這樣，我的第一個儀式就完成了。

We'd now be moving on to a couple more advanced yukuna rituals with Fermin inside the maloka.

接著，我們要跟 Fermin 在 maloka 裡面進行幾個更進階的 yukuna 儀式。

The first involved the rape, which is tobacco roasted down into a fine powder.

第一個是使用 rape，也就是烘烤成細粉的菸草。

The tobacco dust is inhaled through the nose.

Fermin uses it during healing ceremonies to improve his own concentration.

Fermin 在治療儀式中會使用它來提升自己的專注力。

And according to him, it can cure a long list of ailments for his patients.

而且據他說，這能治癒他的病患的許多疾病。

That all sounds great, but remember when I said that pain is central to many yukuna rituals?

聽起來都很棒，但還記得我說過疼痛是許多 yukuna 儀式中的核心嗎？

Well, apparently I was about to get my first taste.

看來我馬上就要第一次體驗了。

So I've heard that if you've never taken rape before, if you've never tried it before, that can be quite intense and overpowering.

聽說如果從來沒吸過 rape，沒試過的話，可能會非常強烈、讓人招架不住。

Un poquito means a little bit in Spanish.

Un poquito 在西班牙語裡是「一點點」的意思。

And Fermin insisted I would only be trying un poquito of the rape.

Fermin 強調我只會試一點點的 rape。

But he also said that some people throw up and faint after one sniff.

但他也有說，有些人吸一口就會吐、會昏倒。

I was nervous, but the Yukuna believed that targeted pain can strengthen the body and the mind, and

我有點緊張，但 Yukuna 人相信有針對性的疼痛可以讓身心更強壯，而且

我來到這裡就是要相信他們的過程。

Fermin even demonstrated with Alberto just to put me at ease.

Fermin 甚至示範給 Alberto 看，讓我安心一點。

Oh, I can feel it dripping down my throat.

Well, you know, he says it's poquito, but

嗯，你知道，他說這是一點點，但是

even a little poquito is a little mucho for me right now.

即使是一點點對我來說也太多了。

我的鼻子都快被辣到流眼淚了。

There's this like bitter flavor running down my throat.

It was definitely a shock to the system, but my mind did feel sharper and more energized.

這絕對是給身體一個震撼，但我的思緒確實感覺更清晰、更有活力了。

Unfortunately, that only lasted about a minute.

可惜，那種感覺只持續了大約一分鐘。

Do you think that going through this fast ritual is going to help me get through some of the next rituals that we'll be experiencing over the next few days?

你覺得經歷這個快速的儀式，會幫助我度過接下來幾天我們要經歷的儀式嗎？
