当树皮被刮开便流出了丰沛的粘液 When the tree bark is scored, it yields copious sticky sap,
没有任何动物能够以这种 又苦又粘的液体为食 so bitter and tacky that nothing can feed on it.

尽管云南独特的天然林 While Yunnan's unique natural forests
能够在延伸到北部的山坡上茁壮成长

可是一场严峻的霜冻就能毁灭这片娇弱的橡胶林
..just one severe frost will kill off these delicate rubber trees.
云南的地形为种植范围划定了天然界限
So Yunnan's terrain puts a limit on how far the plantations can spread,
阻碍了向北种植的计划 halting at least their northwards advance.
云南的丛林所面临的压力正逐渐加大 The jungles of Yunnan are increasingly under pressure.
汽车喇叭嘟嘟响 HORN BEEPS
新建的公路纵横交错在残存的树林间 New roads criss-cross the tiny remnant forests,
