To pay homage to Piccard and Walsh, I'd taken this astonishing watch onboard my submersible: the Old Lady – the same prototype that these great pioneers had rigged on their bathyscaphe, the Trieste, in 1960.

为了向皮卡德与沃尔什致敬，我将这惊人的原型，我称之为老太君，一并带入我的潜水器内。这是1960年的伟大先驱，固定在深海潜”斯特号“的同一。

Yet the Trieste was not a submarine, but rather a bathyscaphe, specifically designed to withstand the tremendous pressure.

然而的斯特号并不是潜，而是一个深海潜水器，专门设计来承受巨大的压力。

While modern submersibles may even be able of reaching the depths of Challenger Deep, none have tried since the famous expedition of the Trieste bathyscaphe- yet today, surprisingly enough its NASA that is interested in very deep-diving submersibles.

虽然现代潜水器甚至可能能够到达挑战者深渊的深处，但自从著名的的斯特深海潜水探险以来，没有人尝试过。然而今天，令人惊讶的是，NASA对深潜潜水器开始感兴趣。

Bathysphere or bathyscaphes such as the Trieste are able to dive to much deeper depths than a submarine because they are spherical, as opposed to the cylinder design of a submarine.

的斯特等探海球或潜水器能够比潜潜入更深的海底，因为它们是球形的，与潜的圆柱体设计相反。
