When you talk about adventure and exploration and advances in science and technology, it does not get any better than the chance to try to go down to Challenger Deep.

当你谈论探索发现和科学技术发展进程时,远不如找个机会试着进入到挑战者深度里去。

The Challenger Deep is the deepest known point in the ocean. It`s located in the Mariana Trench. This is a deep, desolate scar in the Pacific. It`s located about 1,600 miles from where we are in Papua, New Guinea.

挑战者深度是迄今为止人类知道的最深的大海深度。地址位于马里亚纳海沟。这是太平洋里深渊孤立一道疤痕。这个沟壑距离我们所在的巴布亚(新几内亚)1600英里。

And when you talk about just how deep it is, think about it in this way, it`s 36,000 feet deep, approximately. That`s seven miles down. It`s deeper than Mt. Everest is tall, if that helps to give you some perspective.

当你讨论它到底有多深的时候,请这样想,它大约有36000英尺深,相当于7英里。甚至比世界最高峰,珠穆朗玛峰还要高。这样可以给你一些想象的空间。

You know, at those depths, there`s no sunlight. The water is extremely frigid. The pressure is so great it would instantly crush a human being. The trench is one of the most isolated and extreme places on earth. This is by anyone`s account.

当然,在那样的深度里是没有光的。水温极度寒冷,压力巨大的可以完全摧毁一个人的躯体。海沟是地球上最荒凉和极端的地方之一。任何人都会这样认为。

And James Cameron -- that`s right, the award-winning academy award winning director -- James Cameron, the very same man, the man who directed "Titanic" and "Avatar," many people don`t know that Cameron is also an accomplished deep sea explorer.

詹姆斯卡梅隆,没错,就是那个获得奥斯卡奖项的导演卡梅隆,就是他。他曾导演过泰坦尼克号和阿凡达,但是很多人都不知道卡梅隆还是一个深海探险者。

Back in 1995, he explored the wreckage of the Titanic. And in 2010, he was consulted on the Gulf oil spill. Well, over the past few years, Cameron has been pursuing his other passion, exploring Challenger Deep.

在1995年前他就探索过套坦尼克号残害,在2010年时,咨询了墨西哥漏油事故。在过去的几年里,卡梅隆在追求他的其他欲望,那就是探索挑战者深度。

He has designed and financed a high-tech sub to try and take him there. At minimum so much can be learned from this dive in terms of what can happen here, you know, the type of life that can exist at those types of depths. Whole new species could be revealed -- Jason Carroll, CNN, Papua New Guinea.
 
他自己设计并投资建成了一个高科技潜水艇想下海探索一番。至少可以从这次潜水中了解一些海沟怎样形成的知识,什么样的生命可以在那样的深度里存活。全新物种可以被探索开发出来。

When you talk about adventure and exploration and advances in science and technology, it does not get any better than the chance to try to go down to Challenger Deep.

The Challenger Deep is the deepest known point in the ocean. It`s located in the Mariana Trench. This is a deep, desolate scar in the Pacific. It`s located about 1,600 miles from where we are in Papua, New Guinea.

And when you talk about just how deep it is, think about it in this way, it`s 36,000 feet deep, approximately. That`s seven miles down. It`s deeper than Mt. Everest is tall, if that helps to give you some perspective.

You know, at those depths, there`s no sunlight. The water is extremely frigid. The pressure is so great it would instantly crush a human being. The trench is one of the most isolated and extreme places on earth. This is by anyone`s account.

And James Cameron -- that`s right, the award-winning academy award winning director -- James Cameron, the very same man, the man who directed "Titanic" and "Avatar," many people don`t know that Cameron is also an accomplished deep sea explorer.

Back in 1995, he explored the wreckage of the Titanic. And in 2010, he was consulted on the Gulf oil spill. Well, over the past few years, Cameron has been pursuing his other passion, exploring Challenger Deep.

He has designed and financed a high-tech sub to try and take him there. At minimum so much can be learned from this dive in terms of what can happen here, you know, the type of life that can exist at those types of depths. Whole new species could be revealed -- Jason Carroll, CNN, Papua New Guinea.
