Rio《里約大冒險(xiǎn)》精講之四  

影片對(duì)白：

Nigel: I know I'm not a pretty birdie...but I used to be quite a looker. A star. Lights, camera, action. I was striking, suave, ambitious. Feet to beak...so birdie-licious. Now I'm vile, I am villainous, and vicious. Oh, and malicious. I had it all. A TV show, women, too. I was tall. Over one-foot-two. Then they got a pretty parakeet to fill my shoes. That's why I am so evil, why I do what I do.

Chorus: He was a super star.

Nigel: So young and vital.

Chorus: He's nasty.

Nigel: A South American Idol.

Chorus: He's a suspicious bird.

Nigel: Who said that about me?

Chorus: A very vicious bird.

Nigel: I'll have you rotisseried. I'm a feathery freak. With a beak. A bird murderer. You think you're badder than me? I never heard of ya. I'm evil, I'll fill your cheese balls with weevils. I poop on people and I blame it on seagulls. It was him.

Chorus: He's a nasty bird.

Nigel: I'm invincible.

Chorus: He's ghastly.

Nigel: I'm un-mince-able. I'm unwashable, unrinseable. Like an abandoned school I have no principle. All of you Brazilian birds, all 18 million birds, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to make you...

(Birds vocalizing)

Nigel: Shut up, now. Shut up!

(Silence)

Nigel: It's just me. I will make you ugly...too.

Blu: Hey!

Nigel: Sweet nightmares. (Laughing maniacally)

Blu: Not cool, man! Scary, but not cool! Hey, are you okay?

Jewel: No, I am definitely not okay!

Blu: Wait. What are you doing?

Jewel: Getting out of here. Are you going to help me or what?

Blu: Actually, all the survival guides say to sit and wait, and help will come.

Jewel: No one is coming! We are on our own and if we just sit here, we're going to die!

(Metal clanking)

Tipa & Armando: Yes! Yes! Yes! No!!

Armando: Nigel! Get out of the way! Hold on!

Blu: Stop! Stop! Why don't you just open the door?

Jewel: Are you kidding me?

Blu: What? It's just a standard flip slide bolt.

Jewel: Come on! Let's fly! What are you doing?

Blu: I can't.

Jewel: What? You can't what?

(Blu gasps)

Blu: I can't fly!

(Jewel screaming)

Jewel: You couldn't tell me this before now?

Blu: It didn't matter before now!

Jewel: I hate you.

(Screaming)

Jewel: Is there anything else I need to know?

Blu: Yes, I can't fly, I pick my beak, and once in a while I pee in the bird-bath. Happy?

Armando: There they are!

Jewel: We got to get out of here! Just move! Move!

Blu: Wait, wait. Listen to me. Flying may not be my thing, but walking is. Follow my lead. Inside leg, outside leg.

Jewel: Yeah, okay, I got it.

Blu: Inside, outside, inside, outside!

Crowds: Yes! Yes! Yes!

Tipa: Yes. Yes!

Armando: Come on!

(Mimicking dog)

(Cat screeching)

Blu: See? I'm bilingual, too!

(Nigel squawking harshly)

Jewel: This is great! I'm chained to the only bird in the world who can't fly!

Blu: Actually, there are about 40 species of flightless birds.

Jewel: Duck!

Blu: No, ducks can fly.

Jewel: No! Duck!

(Both exclaiming)

Jewel: Yay!

(Both screaming)

Kid: Yes!

(Commentator speaking Portuguese)

People watching games: Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Blu: Hold on!

Nigel: No!

(The whole city black out)

People watching games: No! No! ...

(Clucking)

Nigel: (Groaning) Get out of here, you putrid poultry!

(Exclaiming)

(Chain clinking)

(Twig snapping)

Blu: What was that?

Jewel: A stick.

Blu: And that?

Jewel: It's just a rock.

Blu: Right. Yeah. (Shuddering) Is that a spider on my back?

Jewel: Will you quit it? It's just a leaf. Turn around. Leaf. Told you. Now, just come on, we need to find a safe place to spend the night.

Blu: Safe? Safe? We are in the jungle. You know when people say, "It's a jungle out there"? Well, I'm pretty sure they don't mean it as a good thing.

Jewel: Look, I hate to break it to you, but this is where our kind naturally lives.

Blu: Hey, hey, don't talk to me about nature. I watch Animal Planet. I know all about the food chain. You see? You see? Out here, I'm just an hors d'oeuvre. Nothing more than a featheryspring roll.

Jewel: That is why we stay in the trees and not on the ground. After you.

Blu: Oh no, I don't think so. Nuh-uh. No. I would feel much more comfortable in something man-made. Hey, how about up there?

Jewel: I can't believe I have to drag your clumsy butt up there.

Blu: Drag me? (Scoffs) Watch and learn.

Jewel: Oh! Blu! Just wait one... Blu?

Blu: Who's dragging whose butt now? Huh?

Jewel: Ha ha. Very funny. (Laughing)

Blu: You see? Who needs flying?

Jewel: Birds. Birds need flying. Flying is... It's freedom and not having to rely on anyone. Don't you want that?

Blu: I don't know. It sounds a little lonely.

Jewel: Let's get some sleep.

Blu: I'm probably going to be up for a little while. Because I'm still on Minnesota time.

Jewel: Good night.

Blu: Good night, Jewel. Good night, Linda.

鳳頭鸚鵡

鳳頭鸚鵡是一種頭頂長(zhǎng)有冠羽的鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)，它們主要生活在澳大利亞，長(zhǎng)有一個(gè)半月形的喙，蠕蟲(chóng)狀的舌頭。大多數(shù)種類(lèi)的鳳頭鸚鵡是白色的。鳳頭鸚鵡的嘴是鐮刀形的，而且很堅(jiān)實(shí)，可以啄碎硬的果殼，還能挖出樹(shù)根。

鳳頭鸚鵡和其他的鸚鵡有的共同特征：都有鉤曲的喙和對(duì)趾足。它們與鸚鵡科其他種類(lèi)的不同點(diǎn)，主要表現(xiàn)在以下幾個(gè)解剖學(xué)特征：包括能夠收展的頭冠，以及羽毛中缺少令其他鸚鵡羽毛呈現(xiàn)出虹彩的結(jié)構(gòu)。鳳頭鸚鵡平均要比其他的鸚鵡體型大。但雞尾鸚鵡卻是一種很小的鳳頭鸚鵡。

鳳頭鸚鵡是唯一具有頭冠的鸚鵡。頭冠可以用來(lái)展現(xiàn)他們的思考跟與他們同伴的溝通。健康的鳳頭鸚鵡的皮膚應(yīng)有粉末，是一種類(lèi)似白色滑石粉的粉末，主要由鈣組成，所以常會(huì)黏在地上或主人的衣服上。這種粉塵有時(shí)會(huì)引起人類(lèi)的過(guò)敏。鳳頭鸚鵡咬人據(jù)說(shuō)是最痛的。因?yàn)樗麄兊南骂€有兩個(gè)尖起的部份，再加上上嘴喙的一個(gè)鉤，如果真的被咬到，會(huì)造成三個(gè)點(diǎn)的傷口。

鳳頭鸚鵡的叫聲是非常大的，要確定你的家人能夠容忍平均一天兩次的大叫聲，因?yàn)檫@種長(zhǎng)距離且刺耳的叫聲很容易吵到鄰居，所以他們并不被認(rèn)為是適合養(yǎng)在公寓的鳥(niǎo)兒。如果一只鳳頭鸚鵡愿意和你一起笑或唱歌是再好不過(guò)的，因?yàn)榧幢隳悴辉诘臅r(shí)候，他們也會(huì)這樣做。當(dāng)他們?cè)谡宫F(xiàn)他們的快樂(lè)時(shí)，聲音是非常大的。

鳳頭鸚鵡是不會(huì)非常順從人的命令的。“不行”對(duì)他們而言就表示“等下再試試”。鳳頭鸚鵡是很聰明的。他們會(huì)想出最好的方法，讓你同意他們?nèi)プ鏊麄兿胱龅哪臣隆ｘP頭鸚鵡的性情是無(wú)法預(yù)期的。他們可能前一分鐘保持沉默，后一分鐘馬上就會(huì)快樂(lè)地大叫。他們的心情常會(huì)快速的改變。

因?yàn)轼P頭鸚鵡將東西咬壞的案例不勝枚舉，他們往往是被視為很有破壞性的鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)。他們會(huì)持續(xù)地需要新的木頭，將這些木頭咬成細(xì)絲。絕對(duì)不要間斷提供這些木頭，否則他們會(huì)自己找東西來(lái)咬，譬如你最珍愛(ài)的中國(guó)櫥箱。鳳頭比任何其他的鸚鵡更具有機(jī)械方面的天份。他們也會(huì)將許多的東西如玩具、搖控器、甚至是他們的籠子給解體，他們幾乎能將各種型態(tài)的鎖解開(kāi)并順利脫逃，等你發(fā)現(xiàn)他時(shí)，他可能已經(jīng)將家里的不少東西弄壞了。

鳳頭鸚鵡在整個(gè)鸚鵡種類(lèi)中不算是最會(huì)說(shuō)話(huà)的一種，很多的鳳頭鸚鵡只會(huì)講很少的字詞，或者是當(dāng)他們?cè)谥v話(huà)的時(shí)候發(fā)音并不清晰。但是他們被認(rèn)為是最會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)技巧的鸚鵡。你常?？梢钥吹揭恢圾P頭鸚鵡表演各式各樣的花招。這似乎是與生俱來(lái)的特性。絕對(duì)不要虐待一只鳳頭鸚鵡，因?yàn)樗麄儗?huì)永遠(yuǎn)記得。當(dāng)他們心情不好的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)鬧別扭或者是變得很有侵略性。鳳頭鸚鵡很需要?jiǎng)e人的關(guān)懷。他們?nèi)绻麤](méi)有得到一個(gè)擁抱的話(huà)還會(huì)要求喔！

鳳頭是鸚鵡相當(dāng)好動(dòng)的一種鸚鵡，總是不停地喧鬧，且跳起舞來(lái)或唱起歌來(lái)都節(jié)奏感十足，而且還會(huì)左右搖晃地打拍子。他們具有好奇心且喜愛(ài)冒險(xiǎn)。

當(dāng)脫離雛鳥(niǎo)的階段后，鳳頭鸚鵡被視為會(huì)最快展現(xiàn)侵略性的鳥(niǎo)兒，且不會(huì)如南美洲的鳥(niǎo)兒有預(yù)先警告的行為。鳳頭鸚鵡很愛(ài)他們的主人，并且樂(lè)意為了主人付出的愛(ài)去回饋，所以在他們接受一些基本訓(xùn)練時(shí)并不需要給與太多物質(zhì)上的獎(jiǎng)賞，只要主人對(duì)他們付出愛(ài)心，他們都會(huì)愿意去做的。基于這種人鳥(niǎo)之間的愛(ài)，他們往往會(huì)在主人回家時(shí)馬上跟主人打招呼或叫喊，就算你只是去對(duì)面的雜貨店幾分鐘也一樣。

繁殖特征

1. 孵育 　　

鳳頭鸚鵡是雌雄輪流孵卵和養(yǎng)育后代的。 　　

2. 筑巢 　　

鳳頭鸚鵡通常在中空的樹(shù)干做窩，它們的窩一般離地約一米高。許多種類(lèi)的鳳頭鸚鵡在地面上養(yǎng)育后代。蜥蜴是鳥(niǎo)卵和幼鳥(niǎo)的害敵，所以成年鳳頭鸚鵡必須時(shí)刻提防蜥蜴的偷襲。剛出生的幼鳥(niǎo)的喙是肉紅色的，不像它們的父母，喙是黑色的。 　　

3. 繁殖

米切氏鳳頭鸚鵡繁殖期因地方而不同，一窩通常1顆卵，偶爾2顆，孵化期約28天，只由雌鳥(niǎo)孵蛋，如果2顆蛋皆孵出，較晚孵出的幼鳥(niǎo)常被親鳥(niǎo)忽略而死亡。幼鳥(niǎo)孵出后，母鳥(niǎo)會(huì)待在巢中3個(gè)星期，雄鳥(niǎo)一天會(huì)喂食母鳥(niǎo)2次，雛鳥(niǎo)約3個(gè)月后羽毛長(zhǎng)成。 　　

有些鳳頭鸚鵡繁殖難度較大，如米切氏鳳頭鸚鵡配對(duì)較不易，公鳥(niǎo)在繁殖期間侵略性很強(qiáng)，對(duì)任何人都可能有攻擊性，通常一窩產(chǎn)2-3顆蛋，很少有4顆，公鳥(niǎo)母鳥(niǎo)輪流孵雛，孵化期約需28天，幼鳥(niǎo)在7至8星期時(shí)羽毛長(zhǎng)成， 他們約3、4歲時(shí)有繁殖能力，但通常5、6歲時(shí)才會(huì)繁殖，繁殖壽命長(zhǎng)，可持續(xù)育雛超過(guò)37年。

生活習(xí)性

鳳頭鸚鵡在森林地區(qū)時(shí)只在樹(shù)上覓食，喝水時(shí)才會(huì)到地面上，在開(kāi)闊地區(qū)或農(nóng)作物區(qū)域，則經(jīng)常在地面上覓食，棲息與筑巢都愛(ài)在靠近水源地的樹(shù)林中，尤其是尤佳利樹(shù)林。在傍晚入夜時(shí)分常大叫，特別是在有月光的夜晚。有時(shí)鳳頭鸚鵡一起在農(nóng)作物園區(qū)內(nèi)覓食，造成嚴(yán)重的農(nóng)業(yè)損失，尤其是花生田與玉米田，當(dāng)?shù)卣邢拗频卦试S農(nóng)民射殺或是捕捉販賣(mài)。（來(lái)源：百度百科）

2. 人們都痛恨惡毒的告密者。

3. 只要工人團(tuán)結(jié)一致，他們就是不可戰(zhàn)勝的。
