远古外星人第十三季

　　汉语简介
　　19世纪工业革命传到美国，美国经济迅速发展，同时美国获得了西部的大片领土，急需劳动力，南方奴隶制成为经济发展的障碍。 1860年主张废除奴隶制的林肯当选总统，南方奴隶主发动叛乱，南方蓄奴州纷纷独立，1861年2月组成邦联政府，戴维斯当选总统。同年4月南方邦联军先发制人攻占萨姆特要塞，内战爆发。
　　南军准备充分，势如破竹，很快占领了海军基地诺福克，5月6日占领铁路枢纽马纳萨斯，进逼华盛顿，北军仓促应战，24日进入福吉尼亚。7月21日，北军被击溃，逃回华盛顿，林肯紧急动员50万志愿军。1862年，北军发动进攻，西线由格兰特指挥，进展顺利，2月攻克亨利堡和多纳尔森堡，4月在夏洛战役中击败南军，5月攻克科林斯和孟菲斯，解放了肯塔基和田那西。东线北军则进展迟缓，7月被罗伯特.李指挥的南军击溃，李乘胜北进，8月在布尔河再次击败北军，兵临华盛顿，9月两军进行安提塔姆会战，李被击退。12月北军在弗雷德里斯克堡战役中再次被李击败。
　　1863 年元旦林肯颁布「解放宣言」宣布解放黑奴，允许黑人参加北方军队，之后又颁布「宅地法」，允许所有美国人得到西部的土地。同年5月，北军再次进攻里士满，在切斯罗维尔被李击退。6月李再次北进，7月1日两军在葛底斯堡展开决战，3日南军被击败。在李北进的同时，格兰特在西线包围了南军防守密西西比河的要塞维克斯堡，5月22日北军发动总攻，进行了长达47天的炮击，7月4日南军投降。7月8日北军占领哈得逊港，南军被分割成东西两部分。9月北军攻克查塔努加，11月击退南军的反击。
　　1864年北方发动全面进攻，5～6月格兰特率军同李进行一系列会战，李虽然每次都能取胜，但北军的援军不断到达，李军团陷于绝望。6月15日，北军进攻彼得斯堡，双方相持不下，拖住了南军主力达9个月。7月厄尔利率南军一部再次奔袭华盛顿，被北军谢里登部击退，谢里登在进军途中实施焦土战略，厄尔利军瓦解。5月谢尔曼在西线发起进攻，9月2日攻占亚特兰大，并破坏了该城。之后谢尔曼以宽正面向佐治亚海岸进军，沿途实施焦土战略破坏了一切南方可资利用的资源，12月21日谢尔曼攻占萨凡纳，将南方邦联东部分割成南北两半。1865年1月，谢尔曼北上，2月相继攻克哥伦比亚和查尔斯顿，3月和格兰特会师，4月3日攻占彼得斯堡，9日李率残部投降。4月14日，南方派人刺杀了林肯。26日南方投降，内战结束。
　　南北战争摧毁了奴隶制，为美国资本主义经济的发展扫清了道路。这次战争中工业革命带来了军事上的巨大进步，双方使用了金属弹壳和后装填步枪作战，使用铁路和蒸汽船实现快速的兵力机动和集结，使用蒸汽铁甲战舰进行海战，机械连发枪第一次投入实战，特别是北方发展了制造标准化零件组装武器的生产方式，大大提高了工业生产效率。

　　作为地球上数目最为庞大的体重超过100磅的顶级捕食者，长期以来，鲨鱼被种种传闻塑造成为海中恶霸，甚至有传言说它可以生吞下整个活人。然而人们并没有意识到4亿年以来，正是由于鲨鱼的存在，才使得整个海洋生态系统维持稳定，从而塑造了这个世界以及整个陆地的生命史。可是，这一存在于地球几亿年的古老的物种，如今却遭遇灭顶之灾。由于鱼翅交易所带来的暴利，大批鲨鱼被捕杀，由于对于鲨鱼缺乏科学的认识，捕杀鲨鱼的行为并未受到过多限制，鲨鱼正在以惊人的数目锐减。幸运的是，许多认识到这一点的人们开始行动起来，他们冒着被渔翅业黑手党杀害的危险，战斗在保护鲨鱼的最前线……

　　James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career; the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?

　　在这个世界上有各种各样的令人惊叹的动物，然而我们认为其中的一些非常特别。我们喜爱它们的大眼睛或者毛茸茸的脸庞；我们也为它们发出的声音以及他们挪动的方式而倾倒：有谁不喜欢摇摆前行的企鹅的？戈登·布坎南（Gordon Buchanan）一辈子都在拍摄野生动物；他试图揭开为何我们会对这些动物有着强烈的情感的原因。

　　女王邀请爱登堡老爵爷一同探讨如何使地球常青繁茂，王室成员和影星安吉丽娜·朱莉参与本片。

　　NOVA: Mysteries of Sleep Like virtually every other animal, humans need sleep to survive. But why? What do we gain from spending nearly a third of our lives in such a defenseless state? And what's at stake if we sleep poorly? The functions of sleep have long been something of a mystery. But now scientists are peering deep into the brain to see what happens while we snooze. One study reveals that well-timed bursts of pink noise can nudge a person's brain waves, extending periods of slow-wave, or deep, sleep. And toddlers learning new words show that taking even a short nap after learning something new can help the information stick. And when it comes to sleeping poorly, it may turn out that having interrupted sleep can be just as harmful as missing sleep altogether. As scientists come to understand the powerful role that sleep -- or lack of it -- plays in everything from memory to trauma to emotion regulation, one thing is clear: This biological function is as crucial as it is complex.

　　A veteran, Mr. Long’s life was full of legend. Yet, he lived his life in silence and never told others about his experience in the battlefield. There were many scars on his body and he got three shots only in the Songshan Battle. One of them went through between the bones and the scar had been apparently seen so far.
　　Mr. Long went to the battlefield in the year he got married, where he received a letter from his wife. It read,” I’m going to remarry, may I get your approval?” Later on, Jiang Kai Sing was defeated and asked them to go to Taiwan together. Mr. Long refused,” No, I haven’t seen my parents for years.” However, when he got back to his hometown, his parents passed away soon and his wife had got remarried for two years. After that, he never got married again and lived his whole life in loneliness.
　　Mr. Long was defined as a bad guy or solider riffraff during the Cultural Revolution period. Afterwards, when people asked him about his experience in the battlefield, he got scared as political investigation came to his mind immediately. “I’ve explained everything in those years, why you’ve come to ask me again? I’ve explained so many times.” To get rehabilitated, he kept visiting leaders of relevant institutions. All his family persuaded him not to do so, because “You’re the Kuomintang’s solider.”
　　He was getting worse and worse with severe stomach problems, no care from children and high medical fees. He said,” I can’t get cured. If I don’t die this year, I’ll die next year. There’s no point living for a few more years. I’d better die today and I don’t want to be human being next life. It’s too tough.”
　　Only until 2013, the national Ministry of Civil Affairs announced official documents to rehabilitate the anti-war soldiers. Meanwhile, the ministry promised that there were funds to deal with difficulties in their old ages. When Mr. Long heard this, he could not conceal his excitement with trembling all over. He kept asking,” Is it for real?” However, he had passed away before he received the pension. In Mr. Long’s funeral, a villager announced the memorial speech loudly, which drew us into deep thought……
