【中英雙語(yǔ)閱讀】今日，中國(guó)科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)深水海兔。（關(guān)注本站，每天一篇英文簡(jiǎn)報(bào)，了解世界，增進(jìn)知識(shí)）

Discovery, a remote operated vehicle (ROV) aboard China's research vessel KEXUE (Science), captured two rare deep-water sea slugs in western Pacific Ocean in a recent dive.

中國(guó)科學(xué)號(hào)考察船上的發(fā)現(xiàn)號(hào)水下機(jī)器人最近在西太平洋發(fā)現(xiàn)了兩種罕見(jiàn)的深水海兔。

Sea slugs are hardly seen in deep-water (deeper than 200 meters), but Discovery gathered the two at the depth of 970 meters, according to Xu Kuidong, chief scientist aboard the vessel and a researcher of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

根據(jù)該船的首席科學(xué)家，中國(guó)科學(xué)院（CAS）的研究員徐奎東的說(shuō)法，在深水（深度超過(guò)200米）內(nèi)幾乎看不到海slu，但是發(fā)現(xiàn)者將這兩個(gè)海鷗聚集在970米深處

The two sea slugs, with white bodies and pairs of bronze tentacles on pink heads, are about 5 cm long and 2 cm wide in the ocean, but they curled up after being taken to the vessel.

兩個(gè)深水海兔，白色的身體和粉紅色的頭上有一對(duì)青銅觸手，長(zhǎng)約5厘米，寬約2厘米，但是在被帶到船上后它們蜷縮起來(lái)。

With varying levels of resemblance to terrestrial slugs, sea slugs actually belong to the family of snails, or marine gastropod mollusks, and have lost their shells over evolutionary time.

由于與陸地海兔不同，深水海兔實(shí)際上屬于蝸牛或海洋腹足類(lèi)軟體動(dòng)物的家族，并且在進(jìn)化時(shí)期已經(jīng)失去了它們的殼。

There are about 3,000 species of sea slugs in the world and most of them are found in shallow water of tropical zones.

世界上大約有3000種海兔，其中大部分是在熱帶地區(qū)的淺水中發(fā)現(xiàn)的。

Eight species were discovered in the deep-water of northeastern Pacific Ocean, and none has been reported in the deep-water of western Pacific Ocean before.

在東北太平洋深水區(qū)發(fā)現(xiàn)了8種，其次在西太平洋深水區(qū)沒(méi)有發(fā)現(xiàn)。
