【BBC南太平洋】漂流者 16
【本集内容简介】在南太平洋并没有荒岛这一回事。它们也许是地球上最偏僻，但2万余个岛屿个个都被开拓了，从新几内亚，天堂鸟的家园，部落野蛮的成人仪式将年轻的战士变成鳄鱼人，到斐济，法属玻利尼西和夏威夷。
这是最后漂流者的故事，从咸水鳄和巨鳗到冠鬣蜥和怪蛙，为了成功不顾一切到达数千哩远的岛屿。这些旅程是很好的功绩。据估计每6万年才有一个物种到达夏威夷。难以相信，这么多的开拓者到达这些受到大自然像龙卷风和海啸接二连三粗暴打击的岛屿。
南太平洋首次人类，玻利尼西亚人的航行，难以忘怀。这些旅程的确是最伟大的探索行动，甚至可以断言，他们永远地改变了南太平洋的大自然。

By day, these nocturnal fruit bats roost communally in the safety of the tallest trees. From the few bats that made it here, there are now 18 different species. They have become the most widespread native mammal in the South Pacific. East of the Solomons, the distance between islands increases dramatically. It's now 1,000 miles of open ocean before the next island groups - Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. Of all these island clusters, Fiji is the largest. Made up of over 300 volcanic islands, formed some 40 million years ago, Fiji is around 2/3 the size of the Solomons, so remained a reasonable target for would-be colonisers. Despite its isolation, it is still home to nearly half the number of plant species found in the Solomons. But animal colonisers were not so successful.胃里携带着来自新几内亚未消化的种子，它们不经意地为所罗门雨林贡献了种子。白天这些夜间活动的果蝠集体栖息在最高大树木的安全处。从最初的几只到达这里，如今这里已生活着18个不同种类的蝙蝠，它们成为南太平洋分布最广的原生哺乳动物。所罗门群岛以东，岛屿之间的距离急剧增加。从这里到下一个岛群——斐济、萨摩亚和汤加——中间是1000英里的开阔海洋。这些岛群中最大的当属斐济，它由300多座火山岛组成，形成于约4千万年前。斐济大约是所罗门的2/3大小，因此依旧很可能是许多开拓者的目的地。尽管与世隔绝，这里依然生长着所罗门群岛上近一半的植物品种。然而，动物开拓者们则未能如此成功。
