并在此布下天罗地网 and there are nets everywhere
第二天清早老耿和他的儿子回来收获他们猎物
The next morning, Geng returns with his son to collect his catch
乍看之下收获平平 At first sight, it looks disappointing
小鱼.虾米.和扭个不停的虫子 Tiny fishes, lots of shrimps, and some wriggling bugs
然而老耿看上去来并不那么消沉 Geng doesn't seem too down hearted
大鱼被保持存活 The larger fish are kept alive
这是唯一在酷暑下保鲜的办法 the only way they'll stay fresh in the heat
令人吃惊的是一些虫子也被专门挑捡出来
Surprisingly, some of the bugs are also singled out for special treatment
它们是蜻蜓的幼虫 They are the young stage of dragonflies
以蠕虫和蝌蚪为食的掠食者 predators that feed on worms and tadpoles
这里是世界上蜻蜓卵收获最丰的地方
Nowhere else in the world are dragonfly nymphs harvested like this
回到家后老耿把他的获物在屋顶上摊开晒干
Back home, Geng spreads his catch on the roof to dry
在中国，但凡能吃的东西都不会被浪费
It's being in China, nothing edible would be wasted
在遥远的南方有这样一种说法 There is a saying in the far south
“长腿的唯桌子不吃 "We will eat anything with legs, except a table;
长翅膀的独飞机不啃” and anything with wings, except a plane."
几个钟头后这些晒干了的昆虫便会被带到市场上卖掉
Within a few hours, the dried insects are ready to be backed up and taken to market
其中蜻蜓蛹能卖到最好的价格 Its the dragonfly nymphs that fetch the best price
幸运的是草海的蜻蜓资源非常丰富且高速再生
Fortunately, Caohai's dragonflies are abundant and fast breeding
所以老耿和其他的渔民远不会危及它们的数量
so Geng and his fellow fishermen have so far had little impact on their numbers
但绝非所有野生动物都这样生机勃勃 But not all wildlife is so resilient
这所上海附近的佛庙 This buddhist temple near Shanghai
有一段与之相关的传奇故事 has an extraordinary story attached to it

According to the monks, this turtle had been given to the temple during the Ming dynasty
至今已有400余年历史了 over 400 years ago
它被认为是地球上最老的动物 It was thought to be the oldest animal on Earth
软壳龟被很多从中国人视为神赐的馈赠
Soft shell turtles are considerd a god-made delicacy by many Chinese
在被记录下的时候 and when it was filmed
它已是中国仅存的三只斑龟之一 this was one of just three Swinhoe's Turtles left alive in China
他的同胞们 The rest of its kind
被当作食物剿杀殆尽 having been rounded up and eaten
悲痛人心的是在拍摄后的短短几周后 Sadly, just a few weeks after filming
这只远古的生物与世长辞了 this ancient creature died
