程度副詞

Galapagos is definitely the best conserved tropical archipelago in the world.

情態副詞

Its mainly about Galapagos' unique functional ecosystem.

主要是因為加拉巴哥擁有著既獨特又具有功能性的生態系統

The Galapagos National Park and the Charles Darwin Foundation invited Google to the Galapagos Islands

加拉巴哥國家公園和達爾文基金會邀請Google前往加拉巴哥群島

to collect imagery for both scientific applications and management of the islands.

收集街景的影像，以便科學應用以及島嶼的管理工作

Surprisingly, the Galapagos have not been that well mapped in the past.

令人驚訝的是加拉巴哥從未有過完善的地圖影像

There has always been satellite imagery, of course. But, to now take that next step and work with Google

理所當然地，那邊當然有設置衛星影像。但是，我們與Google合作想要把這些影像更為準確化

to provide better mapping for Galapagos is something that's very very important for our work and much appreciated.

有一個較完整的加拉巴哥地圖是我們現在最重要的任務，也很榮幸地得到這樣的機會

First time, first trekking in Galapagos, so let's see how it goes.

這是我們第一次徒步來擷取加拉巴哥的街景，我們一起來看看成效如何！

We usually see this kind of tortoise here and actually these tortoises are born in captivity.

我們通常在這裡會看到這類的烏龜，而這種烏龜實際上是由人類培育

They are part of the reproduction program of the Galapagos National Park.

Doing research in Galapagos is a very very tough task. So if there is some way to capture as much information as possible and

在加拉巴哥群島做研究是個非常非常艱辛的任務。所以，如果我們有幾個方式可以盡量來捕捉足夠的資訊

then having this information collection available for research it's just great

而用這些獲得的資訊來做研究，就是非常好的事情

because you can minimize the cost of field work.

因為你們可以減少實地野外調查的花費

Invasive species have always been the biggest threat to the Galapagos Archipelago.

外來物種在加拉巴哥群島是最具有威脅性的

Invasive species are plants and animals that don't belong here, but once they are here,

外來物種是不屬於當地的。但是，一旦他們在加拉巴哥群島上

they often turn into a threat for the endemic and the native wildlife.

他們時常會威脅到當地的野生動植物生態體系

We are brushing off the remains of {humadonis admisita} on Isabela Island.

Google是我們完成這項任務的重要夥伴。要讓這樣的科學有意義的話，你們

do the engagement and get people aware of what's actually happening underwater.

就要有所付出以及給予人們意識到海底下的生活型態

We've seen a 50% droppping in coral coverage over the last 50 years. So, if we want to do something about what's going on in the oceans,

we really need to take people virtual diving.

我們就該讓人們擁有虛擬影像來了解海底下的情形

We counted probably around 50 sea lions. So there were...it was almost like a big ball of sea lions around it.

我們算了一下，大概有50隻海獅。所以，我們就被海獅們包圍著

It's probably about 6:30 in the morning and we are about to take the trekker out and attach it to the front of the boat and

This morning's dive will be a very interesting dive because Galapagos is famous for its currents and

really we don't know what to expect so you can get some really vicious currents coming around sea mounts etc. and over the top,

我們無法預期海流會從哪裡來，所以，你們可能會受到幾個來自海山水域或是海面上的強近海流
