旧金山绿色奇迹：加州科学院四层活体热带雨林与世界最深珊瑚礁
坐落于旧金山金门公园的加州科学院（California Academy of Sciences）是全球建筑史上最具野心的“绿色生态博物馆”。在一座高达四层的巨型透明玻璃球体穹顶内，工程师与生物学家联手再造了一片活体热带雨林。
游客沿着螺旋盘旋的缓坡栈道向上攀登，穿行于参天巨树与茂密树冠之间，感受高温高湿的真实热带呼吸；步入地下隧道，眼前则是引入太平洋真实海水、全球水深最大的活体珊瑚礁蓄水池，海龟迭戈（Diego）与4000余尾珍奇海洋生物在此繁衍生息。这场人造生态的极致探索，以沉浸式的视听震撼展现了人类工程智慧与大自然敬畏之心的完美融合。

Home to thousands of living animals and about 20 million specimens, the California Academy of Sciences is the largest green museum in the world.
加州科学院拥有数以千计的活体动植物以及约两千万件珍贵标本，是当今全球规模最大的绿色生态博物馆。
00:12 - 00:27
Without a doubt, creating a living rainforest inside a building in San Francisco is a challenge.
毫无疑问，在旧金山的现代化建筑内凭空打造一片生机盎然的活体热带雨林，是一项不可思议的工程奇迹与极限挑战。
00:27 - 00:38
The rainforest exhibit is like nothing else in the world. Guests can walk up a spiral ramp inside the glass dome, all the way up through the trees to the canopy.
雨林展馆堪称举世无双。游客可沿着巨型玻璃球形穹顶内的螺旋缓坡步道盘旋而上，一路穿过密林直抵树冠层。
00:38 - 00:53
They can also ride a glass elevator all the way down to a tunnel under the forest. A lot of work was put into bringing the rainforest to life.
亦可搭乘观光透明电梯直降林底地下隧道。为唤醒并维持这座雨林的勃勃生机，科研人员付出了巨大心血。
00:53 - 01:05
Under the dome is a towering rainforest that's rich with life. Chris Andrews was one of the many people involved in creating this rainforest.
在穹顶之下矗立着一片生命纷呈的参天热带雨林。克里斯·安德鲁斯正是亲身参与塑造这片雨林的众多核心专家之一。
01:05 - 01:15
We're standing here with this great view halfway up the rainforest. You're seeing the birth of a rainforest. We've got our major trees in here now.
我们伫立在雨林半空步道上，视野极为壮观。各位正亲眼见证一座雨林的诞生。核心参天乔木现已悉数移栽到位。
01:15 - 01:27
There are about seven of those, and those rocks are going to grow in over time and reach the top of the dome. So it's hot, it's humid, it'll feel like a rainforest, it'll smell like a rainforest.
这里有大约七棵参天主木，植被将随岁月滋长爬满假山直达穹顶。馆内高温湿润，不仅触感像热带雨林，连空气中都弥漫着纯正雨林的气息。
01:27 - 01:44
The goal really is to have people get kind of an essence of rainforest. You can never ever replace nature with these kinds of exhibits.
展馆的核心宗旨是让人们真切领略热带雨林的灵魂精髓。当然，任何人工展馆都永远无法彻底取代大自然的鬼斧神工。
01:44 - 01:57
Beneath the rainforest, the new aquarium has the deepest tank for a coral reef in the world.
在热带雨林的深处下方，新建的水族馆拥有全球水深最大的室内活体珊瑚礁蓄水池。
01:57 - 02:14
You could fill 5,000 bathtubs with all the water in the tank. Where does all that water come from? Straight from the Pacific Ocean, so the fish and corals are all living in real ocean water.
水池的蓄水量足以注满5,000个浴缸！如此庞大的水体究竟源自何处？直接引自浩瀚的太平洋！因此所有的鱼类和珊瑚都生活在百分之百真实鲜活的海水中。
02:14 - 02:33
Water is let in through valves, and it takes several hours to fill the coral reef tank. Chris Andrews describes bringing in the animals to their new home.
海水通过大型管道阀门注入，蓄满整个珊瑚礁巨池需要耗费数小时。克里斯·安德鲁斯随后描述了迎接珍禽异兽入住新家的情景。
02:33 - 02:48
It is like a modern-day Noah's Ark in a way, except the animals aren't coming in two by two, they're coming in dozens or hundreds or sometimes only in ones, and it's the ones that are in ones that are extremely precious.
这在某种意义上就像现代版的诺亚方舟，不同的是动物并非成双成对入内，有时成十上百，有时仅有一只孤品，而往往正是那些独一无二的生灵尤为珍罕至极。
02:48 - 03:05
And one of those precious animals is Diego, a turtle, who was carefully transported to his new home. He's doing good. He's very relaxed inside the tub here.
其中一只备受珍视的贵客便是海龟迭戈（Diego），它被小心翼翼地护送至新家。它状态极佳，在水盆中神态安详放松。
03:05 - 03:37
Diego is only one of the many types of animals living in this artificial coral reef. There are now many other species such as stingrays and sharks, as well as 4,000 other fish at the California Academy of Sciences.
迭戈只是定居在这片人工珊瑚礁中的众多动物之一。加州科学院如今还栖息着鳐鱼、鲨鱼等众多海洋物种以及逾4000条各色绚丽的热带鱼类。
