地球的力量 第3集 冰川(18):洪水肆虐

First thing, you'd see dust and wind.

一开始你会看到扬尘和大风

and you'd feel rumbling.

周围隆隆巨响

An enormous flood quickly followed.

紧接而来的就是湍急的洪水

Lake Missoula s water had begun a fast and furious journey across the American continent.

密苏拉湖水滚滚而来 以及快的速度肆虐过美国的陆地

It would be moving very fast.

速度一定非常快

We're driving at just about the same speed as the water.

我们现在的车速和洪水速度差不多

It would have torn through the landscape

洪水肆虐过陆地

with the energy equivalent of 60 Amazon Rivers.

那能量相当于六十条亚马逊河的能量

It would have ripped up everything in its path.

洪水将冲走面前的一切

You can imagine water a hundred metres above your head,

你可以想象下高你百米的洪水

all dark, filled with sediment and all kinds of debris, large rocks,

天昏地暗，带着沉淀物，各种碎片，大石块

trees, woolly mammoths, anything.

树木，猛犸象般的巨物，等等

I think it would be absolutely terrifying.

那绝对太可怕了

The water cut into the land up to 650 feet deep,

洪水冲过陆地，冲刷出二百米深的大沟

excavating billions of tons of solid rock.

挖出了几十亿吨的岩石

It would probably be described as a kind of giant monster.

说是巨大的怪兽也毫不过分
