- But there was a time
但曾经有一个时期 - when winter never seemed to end.
冬天似乎永远不会结束 - Two and a half million years ago,
250万年前 - changes in the Earth's orbit, ocean currents, and carbon dioxide levels
地球轨道、洋流 和二氧化碳水平的变化 - led to an abrupt cooling of the planet.
导致地球温度骤降 - The great Ice Age had begun...
冰河时期开始 - ...and it started with the tiniest of things.
从最细微之处开始变化
