11、awaiting us in the oceans twilight zone | 在海洋过渡带中，等待着我们的 新发现 内容概要：What will we find in the twilight zone: the vast, mysterious, virtually unexplored realm hundreds of meters below the oceans surface? Heidi M. Sosik of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution wants to find out. In this wonder-filled talk
12、, she shares her plan to investigate these uncharted waters, which may hold a million new species and 90 percent of the worlds fish biomass, using submersible technology. What we discover there wont just astound us, Sosik says - it will help us be better stewards of the worlds oceans. (This ambitiou
13、s plan is one of the first ideas of The Audacious Project, TEDs new initiative to inspire global change.) 我们会在过渡带这一海面下数百米、广阔神秘却又未曾被探索的水体中发现什么呢？来自伍兹霍尔海洋研究 所的海蒂 M索西克希望给出答案。在这场精彩的演讲中，她分享了利用潜水技术探索蕴含着百万种新生 物，以及世界上90%的鱼类生物的未知水域的计划。索西克说道，探索发现不仅会令我们感到吃惊，还会帮 助我们更好的管理海洋。（这一有野心的计划是“创新项目”最早的几个想法之一，由TED开启，致力于激 发
14、全球性的改变。） missed: photosynthetic cells smaller than anyone thought possible. We now know those tiny cells are the most abundant photosynthetic organisms on earth. 现在我们知道这些 微小的细胞,是地球上 最丰富的 光合生物体。02:09 This amazing discovery happened because we used new technology to see life in the ocean in a new way.
15、 正因为我们采用了新的技术, 用新的方式来观察海 洋中的生命, 我们才得以有这一惊人的发现。 02:15 I am convinced that the discoveries awaiting us in the twilight zone will be just as breathtaking. 我深信,在那片过渡带中 等待我们发现的未知事物, 会同样令人激动。02:24 We know so little about the twilight zone because its difficult to study. 我们对过渡带知道的太少了, 因为它很难研究。 02:31 Its ex
