In201, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau.

The paragraph provides some background information on the Bajau, including where they live and how they traditionally make a living.

该段提供了有瑶族的一些背景信息，包括他们居住的地方以及他们传统上的谋方式。

Bajau divers may spend as much as 60 percent of their workday under the surface, spearing fish and harvesting sea cucumbers.

瑶族潜水员每天可能将多达 60% 的工作时间花在水下，用鱼叉捕鱼和收获海参。

The Bajau people --also known as " Sea Nomads" -- have spent thousands of years diving deep underwater without tanks or snorkels.

瑶族人——也被称为“海上游牧民族”——已经花了数千年的时间在没有坦克或通气管的情况下深入水下。

But Bajau people in Southeast Asia can hold it up to 12 minutes which comes in handy when they free dive over 230 feet for food.

但东南亚的瑶族人最长可以憋气12分钟。当他们自由潜水至230英尺深的海水中觅食的时候，这种能力就派上了用场。

The paragraph emphasizes the significance of the Bajau's adaptation to the ocean, which is a new kind of adaptation that has not been reported before.

该段强调了瑶族适应海洋的重要性，这是一种以前没有报道过的新的适应方式。

The Bajau are a people from Malaysia and Indonesia who make their living diving to depths of 65 feet to collect pearls, clams, and other goodies off the sea bed.

瑶族是来自马来西亚和印度尼西亚的一个民族，他们以潜入 65 英尺的深度从海床上收集珍珠、蛤蜊和其他好东西为。

Well, if you're not a professional freediver, and you don't belong to the Bajau people, who can stay underwater for up to 13 minutes, then you can probably only hold your breath around 2 minutes.

如果你不是专业的自由潜水员，你也不是能在水下停留 13 分钟的瑶族人，那么你大概只能憋气 2 分钟左右。

The paragraph also includes a quote from a researcher who studies the Bajau, describing them as " a stranger to the land." The third paragraph provides more information on the Bajau and their abilities as divers.

该段还引用了一位研究瑶族的研究人员的话，将他们描述为“这片土地上的陌人”。第三段提供了更多于瑶人及其潜水能力的信息。
