And I'd like to share today, with all of you here, on the TED stage, for the first time, some of these discoveries

今天，我愿意在TED的舞台，与你们一起，第一次分享我的一些发现。

Well, first off, it's not a legend Surprise！

好吧，首先，它不是一个传说。意想不到吧！

When I first started the research , the satellite imagery was too low - resolution to be meaningful There were just no good maps

当我第一次开始研究，卫星图像像素很低，决心很有意义。那时就没有好的地图。

Thanks to the support of Google Earth team, I now have this

多亏了谷歌地图团队的支持，现在，我有了这个（屏幕上展示着清晰的地图）

No only that, the indigenous（本地的 当地的） name of the river, Shanay - timpishka(秘鲁的一条神秘河流名) , boiled with the heat of the sun

不仅仅是这张，当地名叫 Shanay - timpishka的河流，太阳的热量煮开的河水，

indicating that I'm not the first to wonder why the river boils, and showing the humanity has always sought to（试图） explain the world around us

说明我并不是第一个好奇为什么河水沸腾，也说明了人类总是试图去解释我们周遭的世界。

So why does the river boil

所以为什么河水沸腾？

It actually took me three years to get that footage(连续镜头 片段)

它真真花费了我三年时间才拿到这个片段。

Fault-fed(地质断层) hot springs

地质断层热温泉。

As we have hot blood running through our veins and arteries(动脉 干线) , so, too, the earth has hot water running through its cracks and faults(故障 断层 犯规 缺点)

正如我流淌在我们动脉、静脉里的滚烫的热血一样，地球的岩石和断层中也流淌着热气腾腾的水流。

Where these arteries come to the surface, these earth arteries, we'll get geothermal   manifestations(显示 表明 显现), fumaroles（喷气孔）, hot springs and in our case, the boiling river

What's truly incredible, though, is the scale of this place

真正难以置信的事这条河流的规模。

Next time you cross the road, think about this

下一次你穿越马路的时候，不妨想想这个。

The river flows wider than a two-lane(双车道) road along most of its path

这条河的大部分流经地宽度都宽于双车道马路。

It flows hot for 624 kilometers  Truly impressive 

它流经的长度达624千米。着实叹为观止！

There are thermal pools larger than this TED stage and that waterfall you see there is six meters tall, and all with near boiling water

有些温泉池比TED的舞台还要大，你看到的这个瀑布足有6米高，全部都是接近沸点的河水。

1 What cause the whiteout

The difference in temperature between the rain and the water

2 How does Ruzo help invade the river size to the audience

He campares the river with a two-lane road

3 If an image is low-resolutions(地清晰度 低分辨率), it isblurry

4 排序

1）I've been back every year since that first visit in 2011。

2）And the  field work（田野工作）  has been  exhilarating

3）One story was even featured in the Nations Geography magazine

4）I was trapped on a small rock about the size of sheer of paper in sandals and  board shorts

We mapped the temperatures along the river, and this was by far the most demanding part of the fieldwork

And the results were just awesome Sorry

The geoscientist in me coming out And it showed this amazing trend

You see the river starts off cold It then heats up, cools back down, heats up, cools back down, heats up again, and then has this beautiful decay curve until it smashes in to this cold river

Now I understand not all of you are geothermal scientists, so to put it in more everyday terms

Everyone loves coffee Yes Good

Your regular cup of coffee, 54 degree C,  an extra- hot one, well, 60

So, put it in coffee shop terms, the boiling river plots like this

There you have your hot coffee 

Here you have your extra-hot coffee, and you can see that there's a bit point there where the river is still  hotter than even the extra-hot coffee

And these are average water temperatures We took these in the dry season to ensure the purest geothermal temperatures

But there's a magic number here that's not being shown, and that number is 47 degree C

because that's where things start to hurt, and I know this from very personal experience

Above that temperature, you don't want to get in that water You need to be careful

It can be deadly

I‘ve seen all sorts of animals  fall in, and what's shocking to me, is the process is pretty much the same

So they fall in and the first thing to go is the eyes

Eyes, apparently, cook very quickly They turns this milky-white color

The stream is carrying them They're trying to swim out, but their meat is  cooking on the bone, because it's so hot

So they're losing power, losing power, losing power and

until  finally they get to a pint where hot water goes into their mouth and they cook from the inside out

1 What happens when water reaches over 47 degree

It becomes hot enough to kill

2 Why did Ruzo mapped the temperatures during the dry season

To ensure the validate temperature

3 By saying " sorry, the geoscientist in me coming out", Ryzo suggests

he's passionate about what the dat shows

4 听 复述

When I first started the research , the satellite imagery was too low - resolution to be meaningful 

5  An indigenous language is a language that is spoken by the native people

6 it indicates that humanity has always sought to explain the world around them

I started learning about the world-record holder

His name is Tom Sietas

And this guy is perfectly built for holding his breath

He's six foot four

他六英尺四。

He's 160 pounds

他160英镑重。

And his totally lung capacity is twice the size of an average person

I'm six foot one and fat

我六英尺一，有点胖。

It's we will say big-boned

这既是我们说的大骨架。

I had to drop 50 pounds in three months

我需要在三个月内减重50磅。

So,  everything that I put into my mouth I considered as medicine

Every bit of food was exactly what it was for its nutritional value

I ate really small control portions throughout the day

And I started to really adapt my body

The thinner I was, the longer I was able to hold my breath

我越瘦，就能够越长时间的屏住呼吸。

And by eating so well and training so hard, my resting heart rate dropped to 38 beats per minutes Which is lower than most Olympic athletes

In four months of training  I was able to hold my breath for over 7 minutes

I wanted to try holding my breath everywhere  I wanted to try in the most extremely situation to see if I could slow my heart rate down Under duress

I decided that I was going to break the world record Live on prime-time television

The world record was eight minutes and 58 seconds, held by Tome Sietas, that guy with the whale lungs I told you about

I assumed that I could put a water tank at Lincoln center

and if I stayed there a week not eating, I will get comfortable that situation

And I would slow my metabolism (新陈代谢), which I was  sure will help me hold my breath longer than I have been able to do it

I was completely wrong

I entered the sphere a week before the schedule air date

 And I thought everything seemed to be on track

Two days before my big breath hold attempt, for the record, the producers of my television special thought that

just watching somebody holding their breath, and almost drowling, is too boring for television

So I had to add handcuffs(手铐)

While holding my breath, to escape from

This was a critical mistake

Because of the movement, I was wasting oxygen

And by 7 minutes i have gone into these awful convulsions(痉挛 抽搐)

By 7:08 I started to black out(昏厥 暂时昏迷)

And by 7 minutes and 30 seconds, they had to pull my body and bring me back

I have failed on every level

1 What might happen had Brain not need to escape from handcuffs

he would have been more likely to break the breath holding record

2 When something si on track, it is progressing in the expected way

完形填空

3  The thinner I was, the longer I was able to hold my breath Andy by eating so well and training so hard my resting heart-rate dropped to 38 beats per minute

So, naturally, the only way out of the slum(锐减 骤减) that I could think of was I decided to call Oprah

所以，自然地，能想到的唯一可以摆脱消沉的最好方式就是我决定打电话给奥普拉。

I told her that I wanted to up the ante(赌注) and hold my breath longer than any human being ever had

我告诉她，我要提高赌注，我要屏息比任何人都长。

This was a different record This is a pure O2 static（静止的 静态的） apnea(呼吸暂停 窒息) record that Guinness(吉尼斯)   had set the world at 13 minutes

这是个不同的记录，这次是纯氧静态窒息记录，吉尼斯世界记录是13分钟。

So basically, you breath pure O2 first, oxygenating（输氧 供养） your body, flushing out(冲洗 冲出) CO2 and you're able to hold much longer

所以，大体上，你先吸入纯氧，给你的身体输送氧气，排出二氧化碳，然后你就能够屏息更久。

I realized that my real competition was the beaver(河狸)

我意识到我真正的对手是河狸。

In January of  08, Oprah gave me four months to prepare and train

在一月8日，奥普拉给我四个月去准备和训练。

So, I was sleep in a hypoxic(含氧量低的) tent every night

A hypoxic tent is a tent that simulates altitude at 15 000 feet It's like base camp Everest

What that does is you start building up the red blood cell count in your body, which helps you carry oxygen better

Every morning, again, after getting out of that tent your brain is completely wiped out

My  first attempt on pure O2, I was able to go up to 15 minutes

So, it was a pretty big success

 The neurosurgeon pulled me out of the water, because in his mind that 15 minutes, your brain is don, you're burned it

So you pulled up, and I was fine

There was one person there that was definitely not in surprise

It was my ex-girlfriend

While I was breaking the record underwater for the first time, she was sifting through my Blackberry, checking all my messages

My Brother has a picture of it, it is really

I then announced that I was going to go for Sietas's record, publicly

And what he did in response is he when on Regis and Kelly, and broke his old record

Then his main competitor went out and broke his record

So, he suddenly pushed the record up to 16 minutes and 32 seconds

which was 3 minutes longer than I have prepared, you know, it was longer than the record

I wanted to get the Science Times to document this I wanted to get them to do piece on it

So, I did what any person seriously pursing scientific advancement would do,

I walked into the New York Times offices and did card trick to everybody

So I don't know if it was the magic or the lore of the  Cayman is island, but John Tierney flew down and did a piece on the seriousness of breath holding

While he was there, I tried to impress him, of course

And I did a  dive down to a 160 feet which is like, you know, basically the height of 16 story building,

and as I was coming up, I blacked underwater which is really dangerous; that's how you drown

Luckily, Kirk had seen me,  and he swam over and pulled me up

1 What does Blain stroke about competing with Bever Sietas

his desire to push the limits of human capability

2 What delivers Oxygen in the human body

Red blood cell

完形填空

3 I did a dive down to 160 feet,  which is basically the height of a 16 story building, and as I was coming up , I blacked out underwater , which is really dangerous; that's how you drown

听 复述

4 I thought everything seemed to be on track

5 By 17 minutes, I had gone into these awful convulsions  

6 Every morning after getting out of that tent your brain is completely wiped out
