【BBC南太平洋】漂流者 18
【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。

They're one of the toughest and most saltwater-tolerant lizards around. In the breeding season, males, nearly a metre long, battle it out for a mate. They begin with a gentle bout of competitive head-bobbing. If no-one backs down, things become more animated. The loser scrambles for cover. So where did these large lizards come from? Some speculate Asia, 4,000 miles to the west, others, the Americas, 5,000 miles to the east. But how did they end up here in Fiji? One answer is that the iguanas, the frogs and the millipedes were all carried here by powerful oceanic forces. Every day, large waves beat down on tiny islands across the Pacific. Imposing as they may be, these have little impact on island life. But every year, much larger waves rise out of the ocean.仅于30年前被发现的斐济最大的幸存爬行动物被困在少数的外围岛屿上。斐济冠鬣蜥。它们是所有晰蜴中最坚韧并最耐盐水的。在繁殖季节中，身长近一米的雄性会为了配偶决一胜负。它们以一阵温和的、竞争性的头部上下摇动作为开始。若没有一方打退堂鼓，角逐就会变得更加激烈。失败者迅速爬到树上寻找掩护。这些大蜥蜴来自何方？有些人猜测它们来自四千英里以西的亚洲，有些人则认为它们来自五千英里以东的美洲大陆。但它们为何最终来到了斐济？一种答案认为鬣蜥、蛙和千足虫都是被强大的海洋力量带到这里的。每天太平洋上都有巨大的海浪冲击着小型的岛屿。尽管十分壮观，这些巨大的海浪对岛上生命却无甚影响。但每年还有更加巨大的海浪从海洋上卷起。
