what's 2,000 pounds, bright white and lives in Connecticut?
康涅狄格州有什么东西能有2000磅重，还呈亮白色？
Give up?
你放弃了吗？
Yes, I'm talking about the Beluga whale, and while normally one would need to go all the way up to the arctic to see one,
没错，我说的就是白鲸，虽然正常情况下人们需要一路到北极才能看到一头白鲸，
today I'm going to be hanging out with some Belugas at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut.
今天我要到康涅狄格州的神秘水族馆与一些白鲸一起嬉戏。
The Mystic aquarium is known for a variety of beautiful underwater exhibits including their sharks and rays, coral, fish, invertebrates and even moray eels.
神秘水族馆以各种美丽的水下展品而闻名，包括鲨鱼、鳐鱼、珊瑚、鱼类、无脊椎动物，甚至还有海鳗。

Today, I'm joining the staff of Beluga trainers to learn what's involved in the care of the four Beluga whales that live here.
今天，我将与白鲸训练师一道，了解生活在这里的四头白鲸的护理工作。
That's a lot of fish.

I get the feeling this is going to take a while!
我觉得这得花点时间了！
My day starts with food prep.

I meet Kate McElroy, one of the Beluga Trainers who is going to show me how they prepare the daily meals for the whales.

Look at his little flat eyeball.

You can put that one right up here for me and I'm going to need four feeds for the day so this looks kind of complicated here but really all it is:
你可以帮我把那个放在这儿，我一天需要喂四份食物，所以这看起来有点复杂，但实际上就是很复杂：
each bucket that I weigh out for Juno is going to have 6.3 kilos in it.
我给朱诺称的每桶都重6.3公斤。
And for Kela, 2.6, Naku 5.3, Naluark 6.4.
珂兰是2.6公斤，纳古5.3公斤，那鲁阿克 6.4公斤。
I can do this!

After the fish have been washed and inspected to be sure they are free of any possible contamination, I weigh out a bucket of fish that will be breakfast for a beluga named Juno.
把鱼清洗好后检查一下，确保它们没有任何污染物。我称了一桶鱼，这是给白鲸朱诺的早餐。
I feel like I'm on Dirty Jobs...

It is kind of a dirty job isn't it?
是有点干脏活的意思，对吧？
Weighing out the food for all four whales takes about half an hour.
称出所有四头鲸鱼的食物大约需要半小时。
Like that's too much, already.
好像太多了。
That's so wrong.
错得有点离谱。
Once we finish the messy job of weighing out the fish, we can rinse off our gloves and head out to the exhibit for the next morning task.

Outside, the staff is already cleaning the exhibit, and I'm going to help.
外面的工作人员已经在打扫展区了，我要给他们帮忙。
My first order of business is cleaning the big windows to get all the handprints and dirt off so people can see the Belugas clearly.
我的第一个任务是清理大玻璃，清除所有的手印和灰尘，这样人们就能清楚地看到白鲸。

Okay, I'm slow at the squeegee but you have got to admit, that is clean!

Right?

你在那边干什么呢？
What the heck are you doing now?
你到底在干吗？
So we're going to move on to the next window, we still have to get a lot more cleaned.
