00:00:06.794 --> 00:00:09.487
I'm standing here, right in front of Angkor Wat.
我站在這裡，就在吳哥窟正前方。

2
00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:15.841
This is the great Khmer masterpiece, great architecture built by the Khmer king.
這是高棉人的經典鉅作，建築宏偉，由高棉國王建造。

3
00:00:16.630 --> 00:00:22.489
The largest temple complex of the whole temple of Angkor, it's Angkor Wat.
吳哥廟宇當中最大的廟宇群，就是吳哥窟。

4
00:00:26.997 --> 00:00:31.750
This is probably the most sacred shrine in Angkor Wat today.
這大概是吳哥窟當今最神聖的祠廟。

5
00:00:32.534 --> 00:00:40.321
Because of this statue... it's thought that it was the original statue of Vishnu from the central towers
因為這座雕像……一般認為這原本是中央塔林裡的毗濕奴雕像，

6
00:00:40.846 --> 00:00:45.914
that had been removed when the Buddhists came, probably, 16th, 17th century.
可能在十六、十七世紀佛教徒來到這裡的時候被移走，

7
00:00:46.515 --> 00:00:48.877
Then the statue has been here.
後來這座雕像就一直放在這裡。

8
00:00:50.055 --> 00:00:58.888
The people believe that this was a spirit of protectors of the temples and also for their village and everything.
民眾認為這個是廟宇守護神的神靈，也守護他們的村莊以及一切。

9
00:01:01.727 --> 00:01:10.334
This is one of my favorite spots of the Angkor Wat, because you could view the central top of Angkor Wat,
這裡是吳哥窟我最喜歡的地點之一，因為在這裡可以觀賞吳哥窟中央的頂端，

10
00:01:10.794 --> 00:01:18.647
where you could see these four towers, basically, the one in the middle and then another one in the back.
基本上你可以看見這四座塔，一座在中央，後面還有另一座。

11
00:01:19.103 --> 00:01:24.242
You know, there's no other place in the world that has this kind of great monument.
世界上沒有其他地方擁有這種偉大的歷史遺跡。

12
00:01:28.299 --> 00:01:37.198
This monument, it's standing as a great foundation of the nation. It's throughout all the history of Cambodia.
這座歷史遺跡是這個國家的重要基礎，橫亙柬埔寨的整個歷史。

13
00:01:37.642 --> 00:01:45.110
Angkor Wat, it's still standing as a place now for tourists to come and see this heritage site.
吳哥窟至今仍然屹立於此，讓遊客前來欣賞這個遺址。

14
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:52.522
So, Bayon, it's also one of my favorite temples so far.
巴戎廟也是我至今為止最喜歡的廟宇之一。

15
00:01:53.034 --> 00:02:02.160
And it has the distinctive architectural design to represent the god and earth and all the elements.
這裡有特殊的建築設計，代表天神與大地及所有的元素。

16
00:02:03.157 --> 00:02:13.285
The towers shaped with the face of the Buddha, and likeness of the king, and the lotus blossom on the top represent the heaven.
這些高塔雕有佛陀的面孔，描摹國王的容貌，還有頂端的蓮花，都是代表天界。

17
00:02:13.738 --> 00:02:17.391
So, the heavens, the Buddha, all the elements.
所以說，天堂、佛陀、所有的元素。

18
00:02:17.412 --> 00:02:25.850
And this is a, you know, a beautiful place, even though one would imagine that these whole towers would have been painted in gold in the heyday.
這裡是個美麗的地方，儘管我們可以想像這所有高塔在全盛時期本來都被漆成金色。

19
00:02:26.242 --> 00:02:30.018
And they must have been so spectacular, so beautiful.
那時想必極為壯觀，極為美麗。

20
00:02:31.568 --> 00:02:36.489
This is the Temple of Ta Prohm, which is a contemporary name.
這是塔普倫廟，這個名字是當代取的，

21
00:02:37.038 --> 00:02:46.662
The old name, it's called Rajavihara, which is... means the royal monastery. It's built by the most famous king of Angkor, Jayavarman VII.
古名為拉加維哈拉，意為王室僧院，由最著名的吳哥國王闍耶跋摩七世建造。

22
00:02:46.796 --> 00:02:51.301
And as the place he dedicated to his mother, so now it's the "mother temple."
由於他把這座廟宇獻給他的母親，所以現在也稱為「母廟」。

23
00:02:51.735 --> 00:02:56.272
Today, most tourists and most people who come here refer to it as the "jungle temple,"
如今，大多數遊客和大多數來到這裡的人稱之為「叢林寺」，

24
00:02:56.335 --> 00:03:00.956
because of the evidence of the jungle here -- giant trees overgrown on top of the building.
原因是這裡的叢林很顯著，巨大的樹木蔓生於建築物之上。

25
00:03:01.203 --> 00:03:08.183
So, this is one of the great examples of the tree, the spung tree, or the Tetrameles nudiflora.
好的，這是這種空心樹的最佳範例之一，屬於四樹木。

26
00:03:08.459 --> 00:03:17.620
This kind of giant trees started from the top and the roots came all the way down to the ground, and the whole thing went "bvrrp" for, like, 600 years.
這種巨型樹木從上方開始生長，樹根一路向下延伸至地面，於是這整片樹林就這樣蔓生了約六百年。

27
00:03:18.409 --> 00:03:24.280
And the tree is probably about 300 or something years old. But this was under the jungle for almost 600 years.
這棵樹大概有三百歲左右，但這座廟宇在叢林底下卻已經有將近六百年了。

28
00:03:24.594 --> 00:03:35.979
And this is how many people recognize that this was a jungle temple because they saw that this giant tree is here, you know, growing on the top of the roof of the building like that.
許多人就是因此認為這是座叢林寺，因為他們看見這棵巨大的樹在這裡，像那樣在建築物的屋頂上生長。

29
00:03:36.047 --> 00:03:43.308
So, it's part of the French idea to preserve this as the... as a temple of the ruin[s], the way they found it.
法國人想要把這座寺廟遺跡保存下來，依照他們發現這座廟宇的原樣保存下來。

30
00:03:43.326 --> 00:03:50.068
So, it's kind of romantic of the French. You know, they even named the tree. It's a fromage. It means "cheese."
法國人頗為浪漫。他們甚至還為這種樹取了名字，叫做 fromage，意思是乳酪。

31
00:03:50.455 --> 00:03:54.346
It's like a cheese melting down from the buildings, so the fromage.
這樹生長的樣子就像乳酪在建築物上融化流下來一樣，所以叫做 fromage。

32
00:03:54.654 --> 00:04:00.411
It's like a ripened brieor something, the illusion of the French in those days. So, it's really something.
那時候的法國人就想像覺得這種樹看起來像熟成的布利乾酪一類的。所以，真的很有意思。
