Its surface, new measurements reveal, is as black as the blackest material known-the result of an abyssal arms race.

最新测量数据表明其表面和最黑暗的已知物质一样黑—这是深军备竞赛的结果。

From the atmosphere to the abyssal zone, we are polluted.

从大气层深区， 我都被污染了。

The abyssal zone technically are depths between 3,000 and 6,000 meters.

深渊带的技术定义是深度30006000米之间的区域。

Sea cucumbers are found everywhere from shallow shores to abyssal trenches 6,000 meters below sea level.

从浅滩面以下 6000 米的深沟，参随处可见。

But after that, it's all bets are off because you're going down into the abyssal zone.

但此之后，一切就都难以预料了，因为你将深入深区。

The abyssal zones account for about 70 percent of the planet.

深渊带约占地球面积的70%。

And not " the abyss" like they say on TV.The abyssal zone technically are depths between 3,000 and 6,000 meters.

而不是他视上所说的“深渊”。从技术上讲，深渊区的深度 3,000 6,000 米之间。

The hand-holder slowed as we got closer, and I was overwhelmed by that abyssal aloneness I thought I'd lost forever.

当我走近时， 握手的人放慢了脚步，我被那种深不可测的孤独感所淹没， 我曾以为这种感觉已经永远离我而去。

Who are the people that have the equipment that can excavate down into the abyssal regions to draw up core samples?

哪些人拥有能够深入深渊区域挖掘岩芯样本的设备？

The dark, high pressure abyssal reaches of the ocean produce probably the most alien  looking lifeforms out of any found on our world.

深的黑暗、高压区域孕育了可能看起来最不像地球生物的生命形态。

But the Mediterranean and  Caribbean Seas are really oceans, in the sense that they fall away to deep  abyssal plains where no light can reach.

但是地中和加勒比实际上是洋，因为它延伸深不可测的深渊原， 阳光无法达那里。

So these animals are essentially gardening because if they didn't do that, these big, vast abyssal plains of the planet would become big, stagnant, horrible cesspits.

所以这些动物本质上是园艺，因为如果它不这样做，地球上这些广阔无垠的深原将变成巨大、停滞、 可怕的污水坑。

So light-skinned humans are from latitudes that are further away from abyssal landscapes that are further away from the equator than darker-skinned humans who are more equatorial regions.

所以，肤色较浅的人类来自离赤道更远的纬度，这些地区比肤色较深的人类所的更靠近赤道的地区离深渊景观更远。

This effect is most pronounced in  the tropics, while at the poles, the temperature of seawater is more or less the same from  the surface down into the abyssal depths.

这种效应热带地区最为明显，而极地， 水从表面深的温度则大致相同。

The depth of the open ocean varies considerably  but the majority of it falls from the continental shelf down to depths of between 3,000 and 6000  meters, in what are known as abyssal plains.

公的深度差异很大， 但大部分从大陆架延伸 3,000 至 6,000 米深的地区，即所谓的深原。

Barron, who has invested millions of dollars in preliminary environmentalimpact assessments, describes the abyssal plain where the nodules are located as a " lifeless desert" where the impact of mining is likely to be minimal, if felt at all.

巴伦初步环境影响评估中投入了数百万美元，他将结核所的深原描述为一个 “无生命的沙漠”，采矿的影响可能是极其微小的。

But these continents, in terms of a strict geological definition  actually extend outward some way into the sea, in the form of shallow continental shelves, before  suddenly dropping down into the abyssal plains of the deep oceans.

但这些大陆，从严格的地质定义来看，实际上通过浅大陆架向外延伸了一段距离，然后突然下降深的底原。
