中国南方鸬鹚捕鱼传统的绝美景色 [英国媒体]

-------------译者：old_altar-审核者：龙腾翻译总管------------



In southern China's Guangxi province, fishermen are trying to keep alive the 1,000 year-old tradition of using cormorants for their fishing.

在中国南方的广西省，渔民们正用流传了一千年的传统生存——使用鸬鹚捕鱼。

These beautiful images capture the dying tradition kept by just a few men who sail peacefully across the River Li near Guilin.

这些美丽的照片捕捉到了在桂林附近的宁静漓江航行的极少数人保留的快要消失的传统。

The set of pictures, taken by China-based photographer Andy Beales, documents the life ofmodern cormorant masters in southern China who diligently keep to the fascinating ancient art of fishing. Also featured in this collection is Blackbeard, the youngest of the last fishermen in the village of Xingping.

这组由位于中国的摄影师安迪·比尔斯拍摄的照片记录了中国南方现代鸬鹚主人们的生活，他们勤勤恳恳地保留着古时流传下来的令人着迷的技巧。这组照片里出现了黑胡子，他是兴平镇里最年轻的渔民。

The practice involves sending trained cormorants into the water to catch fish and bring them back alive for the fisherman's net.  

这项传统包括把鸬鹚送进水中捉鱼并把它们活着带回渔民的网中。

To control the birds, the fishermen tie a snare near the base of the birds' throats, preventing them from swallowing larger fish from the river.

为了控制这些鸟，渔民将项圈系在鸟儿颈部的底部，防止它们吞下较大的鱼。

While the birds are able to eat smaller fish they catch, larger ones become stuck in their gullet and the method was first practiced in 960AD.

当这些鸟能够吃下它们抓住的小一点的鱼儿时，大一点的鱼会卡在它们的咽喉里，这个方法在公元960年第一次使用。

When they return to the boat - as they are trained to do - the fisherman makes them spit it up ready for selling the fish at the market.

当鸬鹚像训练的那样回到船上时，渔民们让它们吐出准备在市场上出售的鱼。

It is thought that the birds can keep a tally of the fish that they catch and if they aren't rewarded for their catch, they stop diving for fish.  
这些鸟儿据说可以记住它们捕到的鱼的数量而且如果它们没有因捕鱼而受到奖励，它们会停止潜水捕鱼。

Blackbeard, the youngest of the men started fishing when he was 13, learning the skill from his father. 

渔民中最年轻的黑胡子13岁就开始从他父亲那儿学习这项技巧了。

He took it on as a profession - which is also practiced in Japan, Greece and Macedonia - after finishing his studies at school. 

他把这件事当成职业——这项职业也存在于日本，希腊和马其顿——在他读完书之后。

I saw cormorant fishing like this in Iwakuni, Japan, over forty years ago. I wonder if it's still done?

 我见过像这样的鸬鹚捕鱼，在日本的岩国，四十多年前。不知道日本那边是否依然保留这样的传统？

Been there. Truly amazing landscape along the river - did the boat tour at a low water level with a lot of very intense metal scraping sounds of the ship's belly...

 去过那儿。那条河上的风光真是美，当时是水位很低的时候坐小船游玩，所以能听到船底和河床碰触的金属声。

Theres a big difference between these and wedding photos. Here, he has all the time in the world, and a failed or mistimed shot can be caught again at a later time. Theres also time to adjust settings for prevailing light and position himself for the optimal shot. With weddings, you have to think on your feet, be able to read the light and adjust in seconds, and if you miss a shot, you dont get another chance later. Very different indeed.

 这些照片和婚礼照片很不同啦。这里，他有很多时间，一次拍摄失败了或者错过了镜头很快就可以重拍。他也有足够的时间去设定曝光和自己选择拍摄的位置。而在婚礼上，你不得不踏踏实实的看现场的光线在很短的时间内调整，如果你错过了一个镜头，你没有补拍的机会。实际上，太不同了。

Visited this area a couple of years ago expecting to see this (remember the HSBC adverts?) This is now only done for the tourists, and the queues for the boats to go and view this are as long as the great wall of China.

数年前去过那个地方，期望见到这个场景（记得HSBC的广告吗），这仅仅是做给游客看的，排着等船的队伍，比长城还长！

Saw the Li River in 1986 and it was beautiful and almost tourist-free. There were 12 of us on that Lindblad tour and it was wonderful. Not sure I'd like to visit China today.

1986年去看过漓江，风景秀丽，几乎没有游客。我们一行12人参加了林得布拉德观光团，真是极好的旅行。我不知道现在还想不想去中国。

Hi Peter, your right, tourist get a really bad experience in Yangshuo or Guilin, I went myself to the night show in Guilin city. The only way to meet these real guys and get shots like this is local connections. In the end on my second trip back I hired this actual photographer and we had an awesome experience, just us two and three guys at 4-5 am on a remote part of the river, just one motor raft past during the 2 hours we photographed the fishermen at sunrise.
 
你好，皮特，你说得对，去阳朔和桂林旅游是一场糟糕的体验，我曾只身去过桂林的夜间表演秀。想要遇见这些人，拍到这样的照片，唯一的办法就是靠本地关系。在我第二次回到那里时，我雇了这个专业的摄影师，我们的经历万分精彩，我们俩，还有三个人，在凌晨4-5点，一处偏僻的河段，我们花了两个小时拍摄了日出时的渔民，期间只有一艘摩托艇经过。

Why? Do you have any knowledge of what really happens and the relationships. Nope - thought not.

The Cormorants actually enjoy this. Its a special bond thats formed between man and bird, man and nature, man and his environment. The Cormorants arent held prisoner and could leave if they wish. Instead, they hunt, they catch the fish and are rewarded and cared for.......its a two way thing.

鸬鹚实际上是在享受。这是人与鸟，人与自然，人和环境之间形成的一个特殊纽带。鸬鹚不是囚犯，如果他们希望离开就可以离开。相反，他们打猎，捉鱼，被奖励和照顾着……这是一种双向的事情。

It is truly amazing to watch them, and even more amazing to consider how this all evolved in the distant past...

看着他们真令人惊叹啊，更神奇的是考虑到这一切都是从遥远的过去演化出来的……
