Now, many visitors to Japan, they might dream about climbing its highest peak, Mount Fuji.
很多造訪日本的遊客都夢想攀登該國的最高峰富士山。

2
00:00:05.091 --> 00:00:07.961
But, it is a tough trek and not everyone can make it to the top.
不過，這是趟艱辛的路程，而且並不是每個人都能攻頂。

3
00:00:08.448 --> 00:00:12.019
And for those who can't, Google Street View has a solution.
谷歌的街景替那些力有未逮的人提供了解決之道。

4
00:00:12.605 --> 00:00:13.435
Here's Diana Magnay.

00:00:15.001 --> 00:00:18.490
A lucky snapshot of Mount Fuji from an early morning flight.
這是在清晨班機上幸運拍到的富士山快拍照片。

6
00:00:19.447 --> 00:00:25.482
A few months later, with the snow almost gone, we're climbing it with a team from Google Street View.
幾個月後，雪幾乎融光了，我們和一組來自谷歌街景服務小組的人馬一起登上這座山。

7
00:00:26.337 --> 00:00:31.450
That's really quite heavy. And how many cameras have I got on top of this thing?
那真的很重，這玩意上頭有多少架照相機？

8
00:00:31.841 --> 00:00:32.341
Fifteen.
十五架。

9
00:00:32.550 --> 00:00:34.574
Fifteen. Wow.
十五架，哇！

10
00:00:35.768 --> 00:00:41.295
The load bearer, Jiro Dohi, goes on ahead so our camera doesn't get in the way of his.
背包客土肥次郎走在前頭，這樣我們的攝影機才不會擋住他。

11
00:00:41.698 --> 00:00:44.626
Google's David Marx explains the concept.
谷歌的大衛．馬克思解釋了這個概念。

12
00:00:44.725 --> 00:00:51.933
This year in particular with the mountain becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there's gonna be a lot of climbers.
尤其是因為今年這座山成了世界文化遺產，肯定會出現大批登山客。

13
00:00:52.788 --> 00:00:58.869
And it'd be great if they are able to kind of see the trail before they got here and were able to prepare for it,
如果他們能在來到此地前先看一下山路，這樣挺好的，這樣就能有所準備，

14
00:00:59.313 --> 00:01:02.287
whether mentally or physically, or whatever.
不管是心理或身體等等。

15
00:01:03.446 --> 00:01:11.407
So far, Google's Street View has trekked the Grand Canyon, parts of Antarctica, and even a stretch of the Great Barrier Reef.
目前為止，谷歌街景服務的足跡已踏過大峽谷、部分南極洲，甚至還有大堡礁的一個支脈。

16
00:01:11.658 --> 00:01:16.707
And anyone on their way somewhere interesting can apply to take the Trekker backpack with them.
任何即將前往有趣地點的人，都可以申請攜帶街景背包。

17
00:01:17.033 --> 00:01:21.880
The technology is set up to be so simple that you can train someone in about half an hour, and then they can just go.
這項科技設計得很簡單，半小時就可以訓練好一個人，然後他們就能上路了。

18
00:01:22.327 --> 00:01:24.286
Or that's the theory at least.
至少理論上是這樣的。

19
00:01:24.548 --> 00:01:32.906
So we're at station seven. But unfortunately, the Google Street View Trekker camera is at station six and it's being rebooted.
好的，我們在七號站，但很不幸地，谷歌街景背包的照相機還在六號站，正在重新開機。

20
00:01:33.490 --> 00:01:39.764
But as dusk falls and Fuji casts a long shadow, Google catches up.
但等到黃昏降臨，富士山投下一抹長長的影子時，谷歌小組趕上來了。

21
00:01:42.655 --> 00:01:45.835
We had a lot of trouble along the way, which made it pretty tough.
我們一路上遭遇很多麻煩，使得這項任務相當艱辛。

22
00:01:46.424 --> 00:01:51.293
We wanted to keep going, because of this great weather, but it was pretty tough, so I'm pretty tired.
我們原本希望繼續前進，因為天氣真的很好，但真的很辛苦，我也因此累壞了。

23
00:01:54.595 --> 00:02:03.462
What you won't get from Google Street View is Fuji's nighttime congestion, when the volcano is at its busiest as climbers head to the top to [for] sunrise.
谷歌街景你看不到富士山晚上人潮壅塞的狀況，這個時候火山的活動頻繁，而登山客也要趕往山頂看日出。

24
00:02:04.584 --> 00:02:09.885
But it is the moment which makes it all worth it, even if the climb is a tough one.
但這個時刻讓一切都值得了，儘管爬山過程如此艱辛。

25
00:02:10.610 --> 00:02:14.480
I thought it was gonna be a bit of laugh, but it wasn't. It was actually a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be.
我原本以為這是趟歡樂之旅，但其實不然，比我想像的辛苦多了。

26
00:02:14.540 --> 00:02:18.502
And, yeah, you know, it is fun. I quite enjoyed it in places.
不過還是很有趣，很多地方都讓我相當樂在其中。

27
00:02:18.812 --> 00:02:23.022
And for those who can't face the climb, Street View does the hard work for you.
對於那些沒辦法登山的人，谷歌街景幫你把困難的地方做好了。

28
00:02:24.048 --> 00:02:27.563
You can scale Japan's highest peak from your desktop.
你可以用桌機登上日本最高峰。

29
00:02:27.994 --> 00:02:30.497
This may be one of the highest places it's ever gone before.
這可能是谷歌街景有史以來到過最高的地方之一，

30
00:02:30.523 --> 00:02:35.323
And so if it can get up 3,776 meters here, it can do it anywhere.
如果它能在這兒爬上三千七百七十六英尺高的地方，那要去哪裡都不成問題了。

31
00:02:36.483 --> 00:02:41.414
So, if you're feeling inspired, maybe you can take the Trekker with you on your next adventure.
如果你覺得受到鼓舞，也許你可以帶著街景背包和你一起前往下一趟探險之旅。
