原文及翻译

Going to dive to the deep sea, and anyone that's had that lovely opportunity knows that for about two and a half hours on the way down, it's a perfectly positively pitch black world, and a place where we thought no life at all. We find more life, we think, in diversity and density than the tropical rainforest, which tells us that we don't know much about this planet at all. 

潜入深海，任何有幸潜入深海的人都知道，在大约两个半小时的潜行过程中，世界一片漆黑，我们认为那里根本没有生命。我们认为，在多样性和密度上，我们发现的生命比热带雨林更多，这说明我们对这个星球知之甚少。

And when we used to see the most mysterious animals out the window that you couldn't describe, these blinking lights, a world of bioluminescence like fireflies. Dr. Edith Witter, who's now at the Ocean Research and Conservation Association, was able to come up with a camera that could capture some of these incredible animals, and that's what you're seeing here on the screen. But I want to jump up into shallow water now and look at some creatures that are positively amazing, just fascinating how cephalopods can with their eyes, incredible eyes, sense their surroundings, look at the light, and look at patterns. 

我们过去常常从窗外看到最神秘的动物，这些闪烁的灯光，像萤火虫一样的生物发光世界。现在在海洋研究和保护协会工作的 Edith Witter 博士发明了一种相机，可以捕捉到一些令人难以置信的动物，这就是你在屏幕上看到的。但我现在想跳到浅水中，看看一些非常神奇的生物，头足类动物如何用它们的眼睛，令人难以置信的眼睛，感知周围的环境，观察光线，观察图案，真是令人着迷。

There's an octopus moving across the reef, finds a spot to settle down, curls up, and then disappears into the background. This is a giant Australian cuttlefish and there he is, his droopy little eyes up here, but they could do pretty amazing things too. 

有一只章鱼在珊瑚礁中游动，找到一个地方安顿下来，蜷缩起来，然后消失在背景中。这是一只巨大的澳大利亚乌贼，它就在那里，眼睛下垂，但它们也能做出非常神奇的事情。

Here we're going to see one backing into a crevice and watching its tentacles. He just pulls them in, makes them look just like algae, and disappears right into the background. There's some algae in the foreground and an octopus. Isn't that amazing? So here it is in reverse. Watch the skin color, just an amazing animal can change color and texture to match the surroundings. Watch them blend right into this algae.

在这里，我们将看到一只章鱼躲进缝隙中，看着它的触手。它只是把它们拉回来，让它们看起来就像藻类一样，然后消失在背景中。前景中有一些藻类和一只章鱼。这难道不神奇吗？所以这是反过来的。看看皮肤的颜色，一种神奇的动物可以改变颜色和纹理来适应周围环境。看着它们融入这些藻类中。
