纪录片《非洲》 第17期:萨瓦纳大草原（1）（在线收听）

Meltwater flows down from the glaciers.

冰雪融水从冰川滚滚而下

And on the lower slopes,

到了低缓的山坡

all this water supports thick jungle...

便会滋润茂密的丛林

..remnants of the dense, steamy forests

那曾经遍布整个东非的

that once dominated the whole of East Africa.

苍郁茂盛 氤氲淋漓的森林的残余部分

But driven by a drying climate beyond the mountains,

但是受山外干旱气候的影响

the forests began to wither away.

森林开始慢慢消亡

Today, only small pockets of upland jungle remain -

现在就只剩高山区的零星几片丛林了

home to animals who once roamed the ancient forests.

成为曾经在古森林中漫步的动物们最后的家园

The largest living primates on earth.

那是地球上现存的最大的灵长动物

Mountain gorillas.

山地大猩猩
