Tiger sharks
虎鲨
A dozen sharks
一群鲨鱼
Each over three metres long
每个都有三米长
Have crossed hundreds of miles of ocean to attend this annual feast
远涉重洋,共赴盛宴
Uncannily these fearsome predators often arrive
令人吃惊的是这些可怕的捕食者经常会来找我
On the same day as the first chicks take to the air
就在雏鸟初飞的那天
Nothing could have prepared these chicks
这些小鸡毫无防备
For such an encounter
面对意外挑战
Yet despite looking like sitting ducks
尽管看似易受攻击
Inexperienced sharks find them hard to sink their teeth into
稚鲨难以下口
In an ocean where food is so hard to come by
在这资源稀缺的海洋
The sharks can't afford to keep missing
鲨鱼不能再继续失手了
They must quickly perfect their technique
它们必须迅速提升猎捕技术
For these albatross chicks
为了这些信天翁姑娘
Running the gauntlet of sharks may seem an impossible challenge
穿越鲨鱼群的重重考验,看似不可能
But the vast majority make it to a life in the open ocean
但绝大多数都能在开阔海域存活
