纪录片《非洲》 第33期:刚果雨林（5）（在线收听）

Dawn, and a new day reveals just how much control

黎明到来 新的一天向大家展示了

the jungle has over its own environment.

丛林对自己环境的控制力量

The forests of the Congo are the lungs of Africa.

刚果的森林被誉为"非洲之肺"

As they use the sunlight to build their tissues,

森林利用阳光变得茂密苍郁

so they release oxygen and water vapour into the air.

同时释放氧气和水蒸气

Each hectare of forest produces, as vapour,

每公顷森林每年可以以水蒸气的形式

almost 190,000 litres of water a year.

产生约19万公升的水

So much that it creates its own weather.

因此 森林可以主宰自己的天气

Clouds blanket the forest,

森林上空阴云密布

driving up the humidity and temperature.

使得湿度增强 气温上升

A storm is brewing.

一场暴风雨即将来临

The Congo might be the richest part of Africa,

刚果也许是非洲资源最丰富的地区

but it's also the most violent.

但也是最"暴力"的地区
