We got up before sunrise and went hunting fireflies. Мы встали до восхода и пошли охотиться на светлячков.

The trees, mangrove trees, are filled with fireflies communicating with light. Мангровые деревья все наполнены светлячками, взаимодействующими с помощью света.

Now, usually if people are familiar with bioluminescence at all, it's these guys; it's fireflies. Обычно, если люди имеют понятие о биолюминесценции, обычно они знают о светлячках.

This bacterium has the special property that it makes light, so it makes bioluminescence, like fireflies make light. У этой бактерии есть особенное свойство: она производит свечение, биолюминесценцию, похоже на то, как светятся светлячки.

There is one case that we have begun to understand better, and it's the case of fireflies. Есть один пример, который мы начали понимать лучше, и это пример со светлячками.

If you see fireflies in North America, like so many North American sorts of things, they tend to be independent operators. Если вы видите светлячков в Северной Америке, то, как и многие вещи в Северной Америке, они стремятся действовать независимо.

But in Southeast Asia - places like Thailand or Malaysia or Borneo - there's a beautiful cooperative behavior that occurs among male fireflies. Но в Юго-Восточной Азии, в таких местах как Таиланд, Малайзия или Борнео, можно наблюдать очень красивое согласованное поведение среди мужских особей светлячков.

Specifically, it's male fireflies who are all flashing in perfect time together, in perfect synchrony, to reinforce a message to the females. Заметьте, это именно мужские особи светлячков, которые вспыхивают в определенное время вместе, абсолютно синхронно, чтобы донести свое сообщение до женских особей.

And we used to see the most mysterious animals out the window that you couldn't describe: these blinking lights - a world of bioluminescence, like fireflies. И мы увидели в иллюминаторе самые что ни на есть таинственные существа, которых нельзя описать. Эти мигающие огоньки: мир биолюминисценции, как светлячки.

And it really struck me as the years went by, in a very negative way, when I would go to some stream that I'd loved, and was used to walking through this field that was once filled with fireflies, and now had a strip mall or a bunch of condos on it. Каким же ударом, каким же сильной ударом оказалось, что с годами ручеек моего детства, и поле, однажды полное светлячков, во время моей прогулки превратились в торговый центр и кучку кондоминиумов.

In a second I'm going to show you a slow motion of a single firefly so that you can get a sense. Через секунду я покажу вам замедленную съемку отдельного светлячка, так, чтобы вы получили представление.

What is translation in context on PROMT.One

The “Contexts” section on PROMT.One is your translation-in-context tool that helps you find real examples of how words and phrases are used. Just enter a word and the service will show its translation in context — sentences from bilingual sources where this word is used together with its translation into the target language. This helps you understand subtle shades of meaning and correct usage in speech, whether it is a rare term or a common everyday phrase.

Millions of usage examples from real texts

Millions of translation examples are collected automatically from already translated texts: documents, websites, books, movie dialogues and more. Thanks to this, you can see a word in different situations — from formal business style to everyday colloquial speech. For convenience, the results can be filtered by a specific translation or topic, and you can also search within the examples found to quickly focus on the context you need.

How translation in context helps you learn a language

By using the “Contexts” section, you can effectively expand your vocabulary. The service clearly shows how idioms, phrasal verbs and polysemantic words are translated in different contexts. This makes language learning easier: you remember new words together with their real usage and immediately see correct translations in authentic, living language. Take advantage of context-based translation on PROMT.One — learning a language becomes easier and more engaging!
