文字稿

Donovan Wright, Bison ranger
"Aww, man. She's like a ray of sunshine on a dark cloudy day."

多諾萬(wàn)·賴特       歐洲野牛棲息地管理員
“啊，太可愛(ài)了！它就像陰天里的一縷陽(yáng)光。”

This bison calf is the first to be born in UK woodland for thousands of years.

這只牛犢是數(shù)千年來(lái)第一頭在英國(guó)林地出生的歐洲野牛。

Donovan Wright, ranger
"She's a little ball of energy. And when we get a little bit of rain, she starts sprinting around, and it's [like] 'what's the stuff falling out of the sky?' She's fantastic. She's doing so, so well."

多諾萬(wàn)·賴特       歐洲野牛棲息地管理員
“這個(gè)小家伙精力旺盛。每當(dāng)下雨的時(shí)侯，它就會(huì)跑來(lái)跑去，像是在說(shuō)：‘天上掉下來(lái)的是什么東西呀？’ 它太棒了。它的狀態(tài)好極了。”

The calf's herd has been reintroduced to this woodland in southeast England as part of a rewilding project.

這只牛犢所在牛群被重新引入了英格蘭東南部的這片林地，這是一個(gè)幫助動(dòng)物重回棲息地項(xiàng)目的一部分。

But the animals have to live in a fenced-off area, at least for now because bison are classed as dangerous animals under UK law.

但這些歐洲野牛必須在有圍欄的區(qū)域內(nèi)生活，至少目前是這樣，因?yàn)楦鶕?jù)英國(guó)法律，歐洲野牛被列為危險(xiǎn)動(dòng)物。

Mark Habben, UK Woodland Trust
"In time, the greatest aspiration would be to drop the fences. Leave the fencing alone and let the bison move through a native English landscape as they were intended."

“我們最大的愿望就是有朝一日能拆除圍欄。不用圍欄，讓歐洲野牛順從習(xí)性，在英國(guó)本土的自然風(fēng)景中穿行。”

For the moment, this herd can roam within an enclosure.

目前，牛群可以在圍欄內(nèi)活動(dòng)。

The area spans 200 hectares and conservationists plan to expand it.

圍欄內(nèi)的區(qū)域占地200公頃，環(huán)境保護(hù)人員計(jì)劃擴(kuò)大這一區(qū)域。

The bison push their way through dense undergrowth creating light and space for other wildlife to thrive.

歐洲野牛在茂密的灌木叢中穿行，為其它野生動(dòng)植物的繁衍生息帶來(lái)陽(yáng)光和生存空間。

The hope is to stop managing the woodland with machinery and let the bison do the work.

人們希望能不再用機(jī)械設(shè)備管理林地，而是把這個(gè)活兒交給歐洲野牛干。
