三宅 正誉志46-A

Good evening, I’m Scott Pelleyy.

Welcome to 60 minutes Presents.

During this past year, we have some greate st adventures into the wild.Aand tonight we’re going to bring you along on some ofour(?)favorite trips.

We begin with the great migration.

If you could go just one place, anywhere on the planet, to see the most spectacular wild life, you’d wanna head east to catch a sight that comes around every year, but for only a short time --millions of animals on anthe endless march of life and death, and rebirth.

We’ll save most of the supportive superlatives for the pictures because you might agree this is one of the greatest shows on earth and we thought you should see it again now, because there is no guarantee (that) it’ll be around forever.

(ti,ti,ti,ti….The story will continue an(?)in a moment….)

There was a time when epic migrations were common, millions of buffalo in North America, for example.

But today, to see what that must have been like, you have to travel to East Africa.

Here in late summer, more than a million *wildebeest cross the volcanic plain of the Maasai Mara in Kenya, pushing through one of the most *awe-inspiring wildlife habitats on earth.

*wildebeest: ヌー(南アフリカ産のウシ科の動物)

*awe-inspiring: 荘厳な

Nearly everything Africa has to offer all in one place.

The dry season is moving the *herds, concentrating them where there is still grass and water.

*herd:ウシやゾウ、シカなどの群れ

It’s a march of 350 miles, up from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya and back again.

(女の人が何かを言っている)

Wildebeest cows, when they are born, …

American scientist Robin リード(人名)Reed was hooked the very first time she saw it (thought?)as a student.

She is on the faculty at Colorado State University and has spent decades studying the animals and the Maasai people who share the land with the Mara migration.

“We don’t have migrations anymore this large.”

“So, this is the only one that stands by itself that is this large.”

“Now, if you’re talking about bButterflies, you’re talking about birds, you’re talking about, you know, smaller animals absolutely.”

“You easily get up into these kinds of numbers. But as far as big animals, you know, that are walking a long distance, this is the one. ”

”This is the last one on Earth?” (by Scott Pelly)

(lastと聞こえるが、文脈的にはlargestのほうが正しいような気が…(´・ω・`))

“Yes, the last one that is this large.”
