影響你一生的電影：極地熊寶貝——同一個星球，同一個家

　　雪的純潔和冰的靈透造就了神秘而又美麗的北極，而北極熊和海象則是賦予這冰封國度無限生機的物種代表。在這片廣袤又不失俏皮的的冰雪世界里，可愛的小北極熊Nanu和小海象Seela正經(jīng)歷著青澀的成長故事。從"初出茅廬"邁出的第一步，到經(jīng)歷和親人的生離死別，Nanu和Seela正一步一步邁向成熟......

　　這是地探險家、夫妻檔電影人亞當·拉文奇（Adam Ravetch）和莎拉·羅伯遜（Sarah Robertson）創(chuàng)作的紀錄片《極地熊寶貝》（Arctic Tale）中講述的故事。該片是他們兩人歷時15年，在北極跟蹤及拍攝北極熊、海象以及其他在影像資料中極難捕捉到的北極生物而成。

　　片中的Nanu和Seela憨態(tài)可掬，全然不知即將面臨的難題：全球氣溫不斷升高，有預言稱北極的冰有可能在數(shù)十年內(nèi)就完全融化。不知道Nanu和Seela的將來的生活將受到怎樣的影響？

Nanu & Seela涉世之初

　　這是北極再普通不過的一天。寒風依舊夾卷著雪花，席卷著廣袤冰地。在一個不起眼的小冰洞口，主人公小北極熊寶貝Nanu探出了小腦袋，我們的故事也隨之開始了......

　　"Nanu," she might be called in the North, "a little polar bear." The world outside is a blanking white unfolding befor her. It's just a majestic (宏偉的) place unlike any other on Earth, a vast kingdom at the very top of our world, a kingdom of ice.

　　There is another youngster exploring for the first time. She sees the blue world of ice water. Seela is a walrus (海象) pup, only hours old, but like the young bear, eager to discover the world around her.

　　Like all newborns, they have much to learn. They're children of the Arctic. Their lives cradled (撫養(yǎng)) by the ice around them. But their world is changing. And they will face challenges never before countered by their species. Their adventures begin today.

　　這段旁白就是一首描寫北極的散文詩。"The world outside is a blanking white unfolding befor her. "一句運用比喻的修辭手法，簡單幾個詞，就將如雪毯一樣的北極世界展現(xiàn)在我們眼前。"She sees a blue world of ice water."這一句作者從小海象的角度出發(fā)，告訴我們北極冰面以下的世界是什么樣子的。純凈的藍白世界，是多么美??！但是，這個千百年來孕育了無數(shù)北極生命的世界卻在改變，這些小生命將面臨更多新的挑戰(zhàn)。

Nanu的生存課

　　北極短暫的夏天到來了，Nanu和弟弟一天天長大，媽媽開始教給他們獵食方法，更灌輸給他們千百年來北極熊賴以生存的堅定信念。

　　Across the ages Summer always shrunk the ice fields for a short time. But cold returns with Autumn and the ice quickly reclaims the coast, then grows slowly seaward (朝海的一邊). Ready to break Summer fast, Nanu and her family waited for their hunting grounds to reform out on the frozen ocean, practising for the seal hunts to come. The mother coachs them on technique and something else as well. Pressing Nanu, she tries to instill a kind of toughness, a determination not to give in. Nanu seems have what it takes. Her brother lacks focus.

　　Finally, a sign. Dark days herald (宣布) the return of Winter, and with it, the sea ice frozen solid enough to hunt on. Just in time, Nanu and her family are hungry. But something is different this year. The ice isn't hard at all. This is not like any Winter Mother bear has seen before.

　　熊媽媽用心良苦，慢慢地向Nanu和Namu的弟弟灌輸北極熊生存所需要的一切，Nanu的弟弟沒有專心學習，這為他后來被自然淘汰埋下了伏筆。

冰雪世界的溫暖親情

　　刺骨的寒風無法冰凍親人之間依偎取暖的體溫，洶涌的波濤無法割斷親人間無時無刻的掛念。難道是濃濃的親情延緩了北極秋冬的到來？

　　1. 不正常的氣候變化使北冰洋無法按時結上厚冰，Nanu一家無法按老法子獵食了。然而，遲來三個月的寒冷使得饑餓虛弱的Nanu一家面臨死神的挑釁。Nanu的弟弟在同死神奮力搏擊后，永遠地離我們而去了。大自然是殘酷的，但同時它也給我們上了一堂生動的生存課。

　　On land, the temperature drops at -40 degrees. The wind reaches 80 miles per hour. The storm is taking a toll. Brother bear is suffering. For the first time in Nanu's life, he's not right at her back. Their mother pleads with him to press on. He tries to obey, but hunger has made him too weak. Nanu and her mother snuggle with him, sharing their warmth. But as time passes, he drifts further away. And then, he's gone〔2〕. Nanu and her mother stay at his side. But finally, they must move on.

　　2. Seela 被大浪卷走，同海象群走散，獨自飄落在冰冷的北冰洋面上，隨時面臨著死亡的考驗。這時，親人和同伴們開始了大搜救，無奈洋面太廣，加之風急浪高，搜救工作困難重重。

　　At sea, mother and aunt are still looking for Seela. Beyond their range of vision, she (Seela) barely claims to life, she cannot last much longer, her strength fades〔3〕, along with the herds' hopes of finding her. But Mother and Aunty refuse to give up. Following a strong current, they go further than before, and manage to find Seela who seems lost forever. A youngster who held out, waiting for the two adults who always come for her.

　　影片結尾點出了全片的主旨：All across this special place, children of the Arctic make their way into the world, as they have for thousands of years. Their fates are forever tied to the shifting rhythms of the ice that defines them; their lives wrapped in the blanket of cold that keeps this kingdom theirs. What would their children do if it disappears? What about ours?

　　面對如此嚴峻的問題，如果人類仍然無動于衷，不采取任何措施的話，大自然將會"很生氣"，結果將會很嚴重--北冰洋將會在2040年變成"無冰洋"！

　　The Arctic's summer sea ice has shrunk by 20 percent in recent decades. If the current trend continues, the Arctic Ocean could be virtually ice-free in the summer of 2040.

　　那我們到底應該怎么辦呢？我們一定要改變我們的生活方式！--What we are doing with our homes affects theirs. We have to change the way we live.
