Scientists in Australia found microbes known as Thiobacillus concretivorans that lived in, indeed, could not live without-concentrations of sulfuric acid strong enough to dissolve metal.

澳大利亚科学家，有一种名叫蚀固硫杆菌的细菌生活在浓度高得足以溶解金属的硫酸里，实际上，它们离开了浓硫酸就活不成。

Acidic gases and heat escaping from magma can corrode rock through a process called hydrothermal alteration, gradually turning hard stone into soft clay.

从岩浆中逸出的酸性气体和热量可以通过称为热液蚀变的过程腐蚀岩石，逐渐将坚硬的石头变成软粘土。

It had just taken longer than the anticipated 24 to 48 hours for salty seawater to gnaw through the wire, probably because chemistry happens at a slower pace in subfreezing Arctic seawater.

可能因为在冰点以下的北极海水里，化学反应生的速度比较慢，咸水蚀穿这条线的时间比预期的24到48小时还要久。
