I'd like to introduce you to this comedy wildlife competition.

我想跟大家介紹這個搞笑野生動物攝影大賽。

Now, no one's day will ever be as chilled as that of a raccoon.

現在，沒有人的一天會比浣熊還要悠閒自在。

程度副詞

Indeed, life throws bad days at all of us, and sometimes things can get worse.

的確，生活總會遇到不順遂的日子，有時候事情還會變得更糟。

你可能會一早醒來就遇到頭髮亂七八糟的一天。

Now, the pictures you're seeing today are the result of a wildlife photography competition that.

現在，你們今天看到的這些照片，都是一個野生動物攝影大賽的成果。

That we created to recognize the positive values of wildlife and how it impacts all of us.

我們創辦這個比賽，是為了表彰野生動物的正面價值，以及它們對我們所有人的影響。

Now, as the competition developed, we started to receive thousands of photographs, more than we'd expected.

隨著比賽的進行，我們開始收到成千上萬的照片，比我們預期的還要多。

And these photographs began to communicate with us in many different ways, ways we might have expected and then these ways.

這些照片開始用各種不同的方式跟我們溝通，有些是我們預料得到的，有些則不然。

But we began to appreciate the qualities and charm of these animals, and

但我們開始欣賞這些動物的特質與魅力，

we began to put pictures together that told a story.

然後我們開始將照片組合成一個個故事。

And everyone knows that cheetahs are the fastest mammal on the land, but no one knows that.

大家都知道獵豹是陸地上最快的哺乳動物，但這點沒人知道。

They're terrified of being caught speeding.

While we're on the subject of speed, woodpeckers make a rather unexpected appearance because they believe they're the fastest birds.

說到速度，啄木鳥會出乎意料地出現，因為牠們認為自己是最快的鳥。

They're not, but as we know, in life, self belief is about 95% of the job.

牠們不是，但就像我們知道的，人生中，自信大概佔了工作的95%。

Away from the speed merchants, you've got the sportos, the sport jocks who maybe go out for a round of golf, or not, depending on the round.

離開那些追求速度的傢伙，你會遇到運動愛好者、運動健將，他們可能會去打一場高爾夫球，或不打，看情況。

Then you've got your left brains, the creatives, the ones that maybe focus more on their music, air guitar in the wild, and

然後你會遇到左腦型的人、創意人，那些可能更專注於他們的音樂、在野外彈空氣吉他的人，

then maybe, like, dancing, as if nobody was watching.

然後可能，像是，跳舞，好像沒人在看一樣。

Beyond that, you have the superheroes, the ones that influence the Marvel comics.

除此之外，你還有超級英雄，那些影響漫威漫畫的人。

The Jedi squirrel, most powerful Jedi in the world.

絕地武士松鼠，世界上最強的絕地武士。

And then, probably even more frighteningly, you have the animal that can become completely invisible in any habitat.

然後，可能更令人害怕的是，你會遇到那種在任何環境中都能完全隱形的動物。

So what you're finding funny about these pictures, hopefully, is a little bit different to your neighbor and to the neighbor next to them and so on and so forth.

所以，你覺得這些照片好笑的地方，希望會跟你鄰居、再下一個鄰居等等有點不一樣。

And the result is that it's unconditionally personal.

結果就是，這是無條件個人化的。

Your reaction, which makes these pictures very accessible to everyone, but

你的反應，讓這些照片對每個人來說都非常容易親近，但是

it also makes them cross border and multicultural, which is why this competition has succeeded.

它也讓這些照片跨越國界、跨越文化，這也是為什麼這個比賽如此成功。

This could be you and your best friend laughing till you cry, but

這可能是你和最好的朋友笑到流淚，但是

it could also just be a very casual, backhanded slap.

也可能只是一個很隨便、帶點諷刺的巴掌。

Well, this might be the morning after the night before exam time.

嗯，這可能是考完試後的隔天早上。

We started to see some more similarities as we looked at these pictures.

當我們看這些照片時，我們開始看到更多相似之處。

This is the same family row that we all have.

And within these families, you have partnerships of mature and intelligent adults who talk and understand each other.

而在這些家庭裡，有成熟聰明的成年人伴侶，他們會溝通、互相理解。

And those partnerships normally made up of A talker and maybe a listener.

而這些伴侶通常由一個健談者和一個傾聽者組成。

The children also seem to show similarities to us humans.

孩子們似乎也和我們人類有相似之處。

They share without being asked, which is lovely.

他們會主動分享，這點很可愛。

And fortunately, they never, ever squabble.

Well, the teenage years, they do the same thing.

嗯，青少年時期，他們也會做一樣的事。

They have the very, very common trait of the staying in bed all day, illness, and

他們有非常非常普遍的特質，就是整天賴床、生病，

then the even more common trait of too much screen time.

然後還有更常見的特質，就是過度使用螢幕。

And if they're not picking their nose on the screen or in bed, that's the cool kids.

如果他們不是在螢幕前挖鼻孔，或是在床上，那就是酷小孩了。

And they're out the back having a cigarette.

Someone said duck smoking, quack, which I love.

有人說鴨子抽菸，呱呱叫，我超喜歡這句話。

But if you put a camera on these guys, they react like to all of us, they love it.

但如果你拿相機對著這些傢伙，他們的反應跟我們所有人一樣，他們很喜歡。

And if they love it that much, they start doing photobombs, even when you don't expect it.

而且如果牠們這麼喜歡，牠們就會開始玩亂入照片，即使你沒預料到。

But at the end of the day, they stay friends and they come together for the most brutal of all things.

不過說到底，牠們還是朋友，而且會為了最殘酷的一件事聚在一起。

We came together because we wanted to use a positive force to influence human behavior.

我們聚在一起是因為我們想用正面的力量來影響人類的行為。

We wanted to use humour to address the serious topic of conservation and in so doing, encourage people to look up and appreciate what they get from wildlife.

我們想用幽默來處理嚴肅的保育議題，藉此鼓勵大家抬頭看看，欣賞從野生動物身上獲得的一切。

Too many messages are negative about conservation.

The heroes of this competition are the real photographs of wildlife doing funny things.

這次競賽的主角是捕捉到野生動物搞笑瞬間的真實照片。

The success of the competition is based on authenticity and the amount of AI talk is great because this means that we're slightly different to everyone else.

這個競賽的成功是建立在真實性上，而 AI 的討論量之所以這麼大，是因為這代表我們和其他人有點不一樣。

Well, actually, the success of the competition, the pictures have to be funny.

嗯，其實，競賽的成功，照片一定要好笑。

Fortunately, life is filled with these moments just waiting to be captured.

幸運的是，生活中充滿了等待被捕捉的這些瞬間。

This is our 10th year and each year we get tens of thousands more entries, unbelievably.

這是我們的第十年了，每年我們都會收到數萬件參賽作品，真是難以置信。

And they get better and better and harder and harder to judge.

而且它們越來越好，越來越難評選。

Henri Cartier-Bresson, French photographer, talks about the decisive moment, that moment when you see an image through your camera and you press, click.

法國攝影師卡提爾·佈列松談論「決定性瞬間」，也就是你透過鏡頭看到影像並按下快門的那一刻。

And you take that shot and you make it permanent.

然後你拍下那張照片，讓它永恆。

This young lion would discover what a decisive moment could also mean.

這隻年輕的獅子將會發現，決定性瞬間也可以有另一層意義。

But as I said at the beginning, life is not all good.

但就像我一開始說的，生活並非總是美好的。

But the bad days mean that life is also full of joy and wonderful.

但不順遂的日子也代表生活充滿了喜悅和美好。

And sometimes that joy and wonder converge onto the absolutely ludicrous.

有時候，那份喜悅和美好會交織成絕對的荒謬。

Our culture over the years has grown to create a divide between us and wildlife.

這些年來，我們的文化逐漸造成了我們與野生動物之間的隔閡。

The halcyon days of coexistence are now long gone.

和平共處的悠閒時光早已逝去。

But we believe we can change that balance.

但我們相信我們可以改變這種平衡。

Just by changing the narrative from negative to positive.

My 13 year old son, rather innocently and surprisingly sweetly, said he thought these pictures made the animals feel more human, more equal, in my mind, more relatable.

我 13 歲的兒子，很天真也很令人驚喜地溫柔地說，他覺得這些照片讓動物們感覺更有人性，更平等，在我看來，更貼近我們。

這些照片讓我們的精神為之一振。

That positive emotion leads to empathy, and it's empathy which leads to attitudinal and behavioral change.

那種正面的情緒會帶來同理心，而同理心又能帶來態度和行為上的改變。

The pictures I've shown you today, which are a tiny fraction of the thousands that we have, are a reminder to us that it's our job to be custodians of these tender moments, that we should accept coexistence rather than separation, complete separation from wildlife.

我今天給你們看的這些照片，只是我們成千上萬張照片中的一小部分，它們提醒我們，我們的責任是守護這些美好的時刻，我們應該接受共存，而不是與野生動物完全分離。

And finally, that diversity on the planet is a privilege that we should cherish.

最後，地球上的生物多樣性是我們應該珍惜的特權。

However, we may have to be honest with ourselves and accept that some species may already have had enough of us.

然而，我們可能必須誠實地面對自己，接受有些物種可能已經受夠我們了。
