纪录片《我们的地球》 第197期 季节森林(11)（在线收听）

As winter approaches in Chile spring is arriving in the northern hemisphere.

冬季逼近智利，北半球的春天却来了。

These are the deciduous forests of Homme.

这是我家乡的落叶林。

Dormant throughout the winter,

从冬天苏醒后，

they now undergo one of the most magical transformations in the natural world.

它们开始了自然界最神奇的转变。

By late spring the landscape is wrapped in a vibrant fresh green.

到了晚春，大地一片翠绿，风景如画。

Here, instead of conifers, there are broad leaved trees,

阔叶林代替针叶林，

and that makes the character of this forest entirely different.

同时也展现了完全不同的世界。

Being broad, these leaves trap much more light than needles,

不仅叶子能比针叶吸收更多阳光，

but they're also thin, soft and edible.

而且叶子更薄、更软、更好吃。

And others can eat the leaf eaters.

螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后。
