And that's what digital bioacoustics is doing with audio for the study of animal communication.

这正是数字生物声学结合音频，对动物交流研究产生的影响。

So bioacoustics is a big piece of it, as well as the resonance of the forest-how things reflect.

所以生物声学是其中的一个重要部分，同样重要的还有森林的共振——事物如何反射。

Bioacoustics decenters humanity within the tree of life.

而生物声学颠覆了人类在生命之树上的位置。

In the emerging field of bioacoustics, scientists are looking at how to protect and conserve our planet by listening to it.

在新兴的生物声学领域，科学家们正在研究如何通过聆听来保护我们的星球。

So, he turned to bioacoustics, which uses sound to learn more about animal life and the environments in which they live.

因此，他转向生物声学，利用声音来了解更多关于动物生活及其生活环境的知识。

Her book explores how researchers are leveraging new tech to understand animal communication even in the burgeoning field of digital bioacoustics.

她的书探讨了研究人员如何利用新技术来了解动物的交流——甚至在数字生物声学这个新兴领域。

But such " bioacoustic analysis" is still time-consuming, and it requires an expert pair of ears.

但这样的“生物声学分析”仍然很耗时，而且需要一双专业的耳朵。

So bioacoustics is a big piece of it, as well as the resonance of the forest—how things reflect.

所以生物声学是其中的重要组成部分，还有森林的共振——事物如何反映。

So what if we were to use bioacoustics for something of immediate practical value, like doing something about our massive biodiversity crisis?

如果我们将生物声学用于立竿见影的实际用途上，如解决我们大规模的生物多样性危机，会如何？

I'd love to end on one quote from her. She said, The invention of digital bioacoustics is analogous to the invention of the microscope.

我想引用她的话来结尾。她说: “数字生物声学的发明与显微镜的发明类似。

But if we can address the massive epidemic of noise pollution that is harming and killing marine creatures, we could use bioacoustics to restore some biodiversity.

但如果我们可以解决伤害、杀害海洋生物的大规模噪音污染，我们就可以利用生物声学恢复些许生物多样性。

Digital bioacoustics. Huh. So what does that actually look like? Are we trying to make animals talk like humans using translation collars like in the movie Up?

数字生物声学。嗯。那它到底是什么样的呢? 难道我们要像电影《飞屋环游记》那样，使用翻译项圈让动物像人类一样说话吗?

And maybe one day in a speculative future, instead of a human here on stage, maybe bioacoustics would enable an orca to give a TED talk.

也许有朝一日，在想象的未来中，不再是人类站在台上，也许生物声学能让虎鲸带来一场 TED 演讲。

That's Marc Holderied of the University of Bristol in the U.K. He specializes in bioacoustics: how animals produce sound and communicate with the sounds they make.

那是英国布里斯托尔大学的 Marc Holderied。 他专攻生物声学：动物如何发出声音并通过它们发出的声音进行交流。

Now today we're using bioacoustics to protect species and decode their communication, but tomorrow, I believe, we'll be using bioacoustics combined with machine intelligence to explore the frontiers of biological intelligence.

今天，我们用生物声学保护物种，解密它们的交流，但明天，我相信我们会用生物声学，结合上机器智能，探索生物智能的前沿。
