在这个信息爆炸的期间，咱们每天齐被无数碎屑化内容包围。关联词，当你信得过想千里下心来，感受全国的颠簸、人命的古迹和东说念主类的伟大时，BBC记载片无疑是最好弃取。它们不仅以极致的画面带来视觉颠簸，更以深奥的念念考激发心灵共识。图片

0 从繁密的草原到幽邃的海底，从极地的冰原到繁密的天地，BBC用镜头记录下了全国上最确切、最颠簸的一刹。图片
《地球脉动》 是BBC当然记载片的巅峰之作，它仿佛为咱们大开了一扇窗，让东说念主仿佛踏进于原始森林、萧索高原，以至是有数东说念主至的深海之中。每一帧画面齐如统一幅艺术品，展现着地球上最极致的好意思。而最令东说念主齰舌的，是那些在极点环境中抗拒求生的动物——不论是猎豹一刹爆发的速率，照旧企鹅在寒风中极重看守幼崽的身影，齐让东说念主感受到人命的果决与伟大。图片
《蓝色星球》 则将见识投向了海洋。在这部记载片中，你会发现，海洋不单是是咱们熟谙的碧波晃动，更是一个充满未知与歌唱的机要全国。深海中，那些满身能干着荧光的奇特生物，仿佛来自科幻电影；而雄伟的鲸鱼、灵动的海豚、敏捷的章鱼，则共同演绎着一场对于糊口与贤惠的精彩大戏。除了当然题材，BBC还擅长以深度和雅致的笔触，汇报东说念主类的探索与追寻。《天地》 指挥不雅众穿越时空，探索星辰大海的私密；《东说念主类星球》 则汇报了不同闲雅、不同民族如安在极点环境中与当然调解共生。它不仅展现了东说念主类的贤惠与韧性，更让咱们念念考：东说念主类与当然的关系，究竟该如何均衡？图片
当你看完这些记载片，简略会对全国产生新的敬畏；简略会从新念念考我方的生活；又简略，只是静静地感触一句：“原本咱们的全国，竟是如斯好意思艳。”如若你厌倦了快节律的琐碎内容，不妨静下心来，大开一部BBC记载片。它会带你穿越山川湖海，走遍全国边际，感受到每一寸地盘、每一滴海水、每一个人命齐在诉说着一个共同的真谛——这个全国，值得咱们为之齰舌。图片

had，47200:35:24，960 --> 00:35:29，560but the key thing is that it mountsthis 75mm cannon here.47300:35:29，560 --> 00:35:32，960This， for the first time， allowedthe British tank crews to knock47400:35:32，960 --> 00:35:38，240out not just Panzers， but anti-tankguns using high explosive shells.47500:35:38，240 --> 00:35:42，160It also has machine guns in the hulland on the turret.47600:35:42，160 --> 00:35:45，960One British commanderdescribed its arrival in the desert47700:35:45，960 --> 00:35:48，840as being like the shiftfrom sail to steel.47800:35:53，920 --> 00:35:57，920Men were moving on， too -Arthur Crickmay was sent to Burma47900:35:57，920 --> 00:36:01，640and Gerry Solomon， the former grocerand one-time rookie，48000:36:01，640 --> 00:36:04，080was now a corporalcommanding a tank.48100:36:07，720 --> 00:36:12，600Jake Wardrop， despite his longerservice， was still just a driver.48200:36:14，960 --> 00:36:18，320The Allied front was settled on theGazala line.48300:36:19，560 --> 00:36:23，360It stretched from Gazalaon the coast to the old48400:36:23，360--> 00:36:27，000Turkish fortress of Bir Hacheim，40-odd miles to the south.48500:36:27，920 --> 00:36:30，320But this was a risky position.48600:36:30，320 --> 00:36:36，760The Gazala line didn't extend allthe way to the impassablesands of the Sahara.48700:36:36，760 --> 00:36:38，720This open flank had been left48800:36:38，720 --> 00:36:40，840to allow the British to resume48900:36:40，840 --> 00:36:46，120their advance， unless the Germanswent inland and used it first.49000:36:49，880 --> 00:36:56，160On the afternoon of 26 May， 1942，Rommel attacked the Gazala line.49100:36:56，160 --> 00:37:00，600His artillery pinned the Alliedtroops close to the sea， while his49200:37:00，600 --> 00:37:04，680armoured divisions were sent southof the Gazala line to attack theirflank.49300:37:10，120 --> 00:37:16，400On the morning of 27 May， 5 RTRwere told to pack up and get ready.49400:37:18，640 --> 00:37:23，680"The Bosch were not far away now，and we had to keep an eye on them.49500:37:23，680 --> 00:37:28，360"I got up， had a wash，shave， cleaned my teethand slicked my hair up.49600:37:28，360--> 00:37:32，240"In fact， it used to be quite aritual with us to get queened up，49700:37:32，240 --> 00:37:36，160"as though we were going to the Plazawhen we had a date with Erwin."49800:37:41，160 --> 00:37:45，280Throughout the small hours，reports had been flying around that49900:37:45，280 --> 00:37:49，640something very sizeable was goingon to the south of the Gazala line.50000:37:51，120 --> 00:37:55，360At 7.30pm， the order came throughto move to battle positions.50100:37:57，800 --> 00:38:01，680Five minutes later， the Honeysand the new Grants lurched forward.50200:38:15，080 --> 00:38:18，720In the confusion of a desert battle，your enemy could be two miles away，50300:38:18，720 --> 00:38:23，000and you have to scan the horizonwith the utmost attention.50400:38:23，000 --> 00:38:25，840A kick of dust was a gun firing.50500:38:26，880 --> 00:38:30，840A second or two later，a sound like ripping paper announced50600:38:30，840 --> 00:38:34，160a high-velocity roundflashing past you or overhead.50700:38:36，600 --> 00:38:40，840If the light burning in its tailwas red， it was British fire.50800:38:40，840 --> 00:38:44，120If it was green or yellow，it was enemy.50900:38:44，120 --> 00:38:46，320Registering those fleeting sights51000:38:46，320 --> 00:38:50，240and sounds could make all thedifference between life and death.51100:39:03，680 --> 00:39:07，240The hot， dry wind， which wasso unpleasant that the Arabs51200:39:07，240 --> 00:39:11，400claimed it was enough to excusemurder， started to blow as well.51300:39:14，400 --> 00:39:17，920British commanders had beencaught by surprise.51400:39:17，920 --> 00:39:22，880In the unfolding mayhem of confusedclose-range fights， the generals'51500:39:22，880 --> 00:39:27，400habit of keeping ordinary tank crewsin the dark cost them dear.51600:39:32，080 --> 00:39:35，960It was very confusing， you could notget any definite information.51700:39:35，960 --> 00:39:38，760They didn't want you to haveinformation， in case51800:39:38，760 --> 00:39:42，240you got capturedand you gave it away.51900:39:42，240 --> 00:39:44，400They kept information from you.52000:39:45，520 --> 00:39:48，120They only told you whatthey wanted you to know.52100:39:54，240 --> 00:39:58，080On the 2nd June， the 5th Tankssuffered their worst day of the war.52200:39:58，080 --> 00:40:02，680Only eight Honeysand one Grant returned from battle.52300:40:02，680 --> 00:40:07，200Some 51 officers and men of tankcrews were dead or missing.52400:40:10，800 --> 00:40:15，520The surviving officers decided tofortify their men by a method52500:40:15，520 --> 00:40:18，400used since antiquity， a rum ration.52600:40:22，880 --> 00:40:25，680Alcohol might have numbed themtemporarily，52700:40:25，680 --> 00:40:28，960but the grim realitygot clearer by the day.52800:40:28，960 --> 00:40:32，200The Gazala line had collapsed.52900:40:35，800 --> 00:40:42，560On 21 June， 1942， Tobruk's garrisonof 30，000 surrendered.53000:40:42，560 --> 00:40:48，240After trying to take the city fortwo years， Rommel was triumphant.53100:40:53，400 --> 00:40:56，120The British Armywas now in full retreat，53200:40:56，120 --> 00:40:59，600having been out-gunned，out-manoeuvred， and out-generalled.53300:41:00，680 --> 00:41:04，680Those in charge called ita strategic withdrawal，53400:41:04，680 --> 00:41:07，680but this was a disasterby any other name.53500:41:08，960 --> 00:41:12，240Just a few weeks before，the British had built up a huge53600:41:12，240 --> 00:41:15，880superiority in weapons，and were poised to mount their own53700:41:15，880 --> 00:41:19，640offensive， yet nowthey were in headlong retreat.53800:41:19，640 --> 00:41:25，880How had it happened? Many soldiershad a one-word explanation， Rommel.53900:41:25，880 --> 00:41:29，960It's true the conductof his campaign had been brilliant.54000:41:29，960 --> 00:41:33，160In my view，the only one in the desert war where54100:41:33，160 --> 00:41:36，440he really deservedhis stellar reputation.54200:41:36，440 --> 00:41:40，120But the real failure was thatof British military leadership.54300:41:43，920 --> 00:41:47，640While Rommel basked in glory，Churchill was desperate.54400:41:49，160 --> 00:41:53，440He wrote， "Defeat is one thing，disgrace is another."54500:41:57，440 --> 00:42:00，7605 RTR had to be rebuilt -and quickly.54600:42:00，760 --> 00:42:04，600Dozens of new recruits arrived，like Bill Chorley54700:42:04，600 --> 00:42:09，200and fellow conscript Bob Lay，both in their early 20s.54800:42:10，480 --> 00:42:13，000Bill and I were in the same tank.54900:42:13，000 --> 00:42:16，600I was the operatorand Bill was a gunner55000:42:16，600 --> 00:42:20，800and because of the loneliness55100:42:20，800 --> 00:42:23，720of the desert， your social life was55200:42:23，720 --> 00:42:27，360limited to your crew every day.55300:42:27，360--> 00:42:28，800You knew everything，55400:42:28，800 --> 00:42:31，840everything there wasto know about each other.55500:42:33，760 --> 00:42:37，720And you had a very，very good bond with them.55600:42:41，200 --> 00:42:44，040"Bob Lay has been with mesince I joined up.55700:42:44，040 --> 00:42:45，760"We spent six weeks at base.55800:42:45，760 --> 00:42:48，080"Most of the time was taken up55900:42:48，080 --> 00:42:50，560"on wireless and driving courses.56000:42:50，560 --> 00:42:55，000"This was our introduction to thedesert. It was a rough do， there."56100:43:01，280 --> 00:43:06，280By 30th June 1942，the British had fallen back to56200:43:06，280 --> 00:43:11，240the only defensible line betweenthe frontier and the Nile Delta，56300:43:11，240 --> 00:43:14，760a railway halt just 60 milesfrom Alexandria，56400:43:14，760 --> 00:43:16，320El Alamein.56500:43:18，920 --> 00:43:22，840The geography of the North Africancoast offers very few places56600:43:22，840 --> 00:43:25，240where you can make a stand.56700:43:25，240 --> 00:43:28，920If you put in a blocking positionon the coastal strip，56800:43:28，920 --> 00:43:33，400people can simply go roundon the inland side and bypass it56900:43:33，400 --> 00:43:35，800and that's what Rommel didtime and again.57000:43:35，800 --> 00:43:39，880This is one of the few placesthat's different， Alamein.57100:43:39，880 --> 00:43:41，320Inland， there's the57200:43:41，320 --> 00:43:43，760Qattara Depression， an impassable57300:43:43，760 --> 00:43:45，880area of sand dunes that Rommel57400:43:45，880 --> 00:43:48，120simply couldn't get through.57500:43:48，120 --> 00:43:50，880This is where the Britishchose to fight.57600:43:54，720 --> 00:43:58，760And Churchill decided that forthis battle the Desert Army needed57700:43:58，760 --> 00:44:01，200a clean sweep at the top.57800:44:01，200 --> 00:44:05，560His senior generals had presidedover woeful failure.57900:44:05，560 --> 00:44:08，480They hadn't deliveredthe victory he so craved58000:44:08，480 --> 00:44:10，040and that Britain so needed.58100:44:11，280 --> 00:44:14，680On 20th August， he madea personal appearance in the desert.58200:44:16，600 --> 00:44:19，280'We felt very proud and honouredwhen Churchill came58300:44:19，280 --> 00:44:22，040'and he was all praise for us.'58400:44:22，040 --> 00:44:25，800We knew very wellthe job wasn't done.58500:44:25，800 --> 00:44:28，400We had to go and make sure58600:44:28，400 --> 00:44:30，080the enemy was out of the desert.58700:44:32，480 --> 00:44:34，160Churchill was joined by58800:44:34，160 --> 00:44:37，400Lieutenant GeneralBernard Montgomery.58900:44:37，400 --> 00:44:39，800The Times newspaper reported that，59000:44:39，800 --> 00:44:42，320"It may well be that historians will59100:44:42，320 --> 00:44:46，400"point to this date as decisive indetermining the course of the war."59200:44:52，160 --> 00:44:54，760The one great thingthat Montgomery did59300:44:54，760 --> 00:44:57，080was to ensure that59400:44:57，080 --> 00:45:01，320everybody knew whatthe opposition was，59500:45:01，320 --> 00:45:04，000what the objectives were，59600:45:04，000 --> 00:45:08，040so we had a concept of whatwas expected of us.59700:45:08，040 --> 00:45:11，880He was the type of man who wouldsay， "You want me to beat the59800:45:11，880 --> 00:45:14，560"Germans in the desert，59900:45:14，560 --> 00:45:19，440"you must give me enough tanksand men to do it.60000:45:19，440 --> 00:45:22，040"And they are not going todo it until you do."60100:45:22，040 --> 00:45:23，560That was his attitude.60200:45:23，560 --> 00:45:25，720And so it was.60300:45:25，720 --> 00:45:28，640We couldn't believe the amountof stuff that was coming up there.60400:45:33，560 --> 00:45:36，680Monty also had a realflair for publicity.60500:45:36，680 --> 00:45:41，080He took to wearing a black RTR beretwith the regimental tank badge60600:45:41，080 --> 00:45:43，280next to his general's one，60700:45:43，280 --> 00:45:48，920as a sort of sign of respect for menlike Gerry Solomon and Bob Lay.60800:45:48，920 --> 00:45:53，600As to what they made of him，that was a more complex issue.60900:45:53，600 --> 00:45:57，200Many relished the change inatmosphere that his arrival brought，61000:45:57，200 --> 00:46:00，880but equally， they couldn't forgetthat he might send them61100:46:00，880 --> 00:46:04，600to their deaths and he didn'treally understand tank warfare.61200:46:08，360--> 00:46:11，520But what Montgomery did understandwas that Rommel could be61300:46:11，520 --> 00:46:13，880relied upon to try the tactics61400:46:13，880 --> 00:46:16，560he'd used so effectively before.61500:46:16，560 --> 00:46:18，520And Monty had a plan.61600:46:18，520 --> 00:46:23，000He would secure his inland flanksouth of Alamein at a ridge61700:46:23，000 --> 00:46:24，600called Alam Halfa.61800:46:30，320 --> 00:46:33，160During the early hours of31st August，61900:46:33，160 --> 00:46:35，760the Germans were sightedmoving north.62000:46:35，760 --> 00:46:38，840British intelligencehad pinpointed the time62100:46:38，840 --> 00:46:41，320and place of this thrustwith precision.62200:46:43，080 --> 00:46:45，040Alam Halfa arose62300:46:45，040 --> 00:46:49，800because Rommel liked to makesurprise attacks in force62400:46:49，800 --> 00:46:53，440and at speed.62500:46:53，440 --> 00:46:56，200We had Enigma then62600:46:56，200 --> 00:46:58，920and we prepared for it.62700:47:02，480 --> 00:47:05，560Rommel assumed that he hada clear desert ahead62800:47:05，560 --> 00:47:08，600and that he could repeathis Gazala success，62900:47:08，600 --> 00:47:13，560hardly imagining that it was nowhis turn to waltz into an ambush.63000:47:20，800 --> 00:47:24，880Waiting for him were，among others， 5 RTR.63100:47:28，000 --> 00:47:30，040And we waited63200:47:30，040 --> 00:47:32，880and he appeared.63300:47:32，880 --> 00:47:37，120We let him come on and when he was63400:47:37，120 --> 00:47:38，960in range， we let him have it.63500:47:45，440 --> 00:47:47，320It was at Alam Halfa that the63600:47:47，320 --> 00:47:50，960desert war reachedits real turning point.63700:47:50，960 --> 00:47:54，400The British brigade had beendeployed along this ridge，63800:47:54，400 --> 00:47:57，360slap bang in the path ofa German Panzer division，63900:47:57，360--> 00:47:59，280advancing from the south.64000:48:06，400 --> 00:48:09，920In a couple of hours， its integrateddefence of artillery，64100:48:09，920 --> 00:48:12，480anti-tank guns andthe Grants of 5th Tanks，64200:48:12，480 --> 00:48:14，400took apart the Panzer division.64300:48:18，360--> 00:48:21，000Rommel had tried his old trick，64400:48:21，000 --> 00:48:24，440out-flanking fromthe inland side， and failed.64500:48:24，440 --> 00:48:26，320He'd been beaten at his own game.64600:48:28，960 --> 00:48:33，000One endeavoured to get as closeto the enemy as possible，64700:48:33，000 --> 00:48:35，200so that your gun was in range64800:48:35，200 --> 00:48:38，480and could knock him out.64900:48:46，000 --> 00:48:49，440The Battle Of Alam Halfalasted just over a week.65000:48:50，880 --> 00:48:54，120Alam Halfa was a significant battle65100:48:54，120 --> 00:48:57，400for the 5th RTR， because we'd65200:48:57，400 --> 00:48:59，920adopted new tactics65300:48:59，920 --> 00:49:04，280and we'd given the Panzer divisiona good hiding.65400:49:09，040 --> 00:49:11，880With his supply situation precarious65500:49:11，880 --> 00:49:14，320and superior Allied firepower，65600:49:14，320 --> 00:49:16，480Rommel fell back to regroup.65700:49:26，960 --> 00:49:29，600While the Afrika Korpslicked its wounds，65800:49:29，600 --> 00:49:33，960British forces rehearsed everydetail for the battle ahead.65900:49:33，960 --> 00:49:38，3605th Tanks， exhausted aftertwo years of fighting，66000:49:38，360--> 00:49:40，840were asked whetherthey were still up for it.66100:49:42，040 --> 00:49:43，320"A parade was called66200:49:43，320 --> 00:49:45，960"and we were given the choiceof going to Cairo66300:49:45，960 --> 00:49:47，600"and missing the push，66400:49:47，600 --> 00:49:50，160"or staying on the blueand taking part in it.66500:49:51，560 --> 00:49:54，840"At the end of his speech，we were asked to step forward66600:49:54，840 --> 00:49:56，080"if we wanted to stay...66700:49:57，520 --> 00:49:59，920"..and
