Hello, my name is Tom Hiddleston, and I'm here to introduce you to my new series for National Geographic. We all think we know the story of Pompeii, right? The volcano of Mount Vesuvius erupts, buries the city, and it's entombed in ash for eternity.
大家好，我是汤姆・希德勒斯顿。今天为大家介绍我携手国家地理打造的全新纪录片。我们总以为自己熟知庞贝的往事：维苏威火山喷发，整座城市被火山灰掩埋，永久封存于地下。
I didn't know that people survived. That was the light bulb for me. That's why I wanted to make this series.
我从前竟不知道，当时还有人活了下来。这个发现让我豁然开朗，也成了我制作这部纪录片的初衷。
There are two timelines. The past and the present. And they connect. And I become almost a time detective.
本片交织着两条时间线——往昔与当下，二者环环相扣。而我，就像一名穿梭时空的探员。
Let's try that again, shall we? Hour by hour, minute by minute, I trace and track real people who were really there.
让我们一同回溯。我以时分、时辰为轴，追寻那些真实生活在庞贝的普通人。
I try to understand the choices they made. I'm experiencing that pressure and hoping that there's still time for them to make it out.
我试着去理解他们当时的抉择，切身感受那份绝境中的煎熬，由衷期盼他们能逃出生天。
（Tom is digging into the past to find these remarkable stories of survival. Check this out! Makes the past feel so close. It's about people just like us. It's a one-of-a-kind project. ）
（汤姆深入历史，挖掘一个个惊心动魄的求生故事。请看这里！历史仿佛近在眼前。故事的主角，都是和你我一样的普通人。这是一部独一无二的作品。）
It's all part of an incredibly propulsive new way of playing the story. And I'll never think about Pompeii in the same way ever again. I know what the ending is. Or do I?
整部影片用全新的叙事节奏层层推进。而我对庞贝的看法，也彻底被改写。我以为自己知晓结局，可真相当真如此吗？
