海底两万里 第515期 第32章 海湾暖流(5)
Murky as well, and very rich in saline material, their pure indigo contrasts with the green waves surrounding them. Moreover, their line of demarcation is so clear that abreast of the Carolinas, the Nautilus's spur cut the waves of the Gulf Stream while its propeller was still churning those belonging to the ocean.
另外，它的水色偏暗而且含有丰富的盐，纯靛蓝色的水流和周围绿色的海水形成了鲜明的对比。当“鹦鹉螺号”船只行驶到卡洛林岛的同一纬度，它的冲角已经切进暖流的水波中，而推动器还在拍打着海洋的冷水时，海洋冷水流和暖水流之间的分界线就更加明显了。
This current swept along with it a whole host of moving creatures. Argonauts, so common in the Mediterranean, voyaged here in schools of large numbers. Among cartilaginous fish, the most remarkable were rays whose ultra slender tails made up nearly a third of the body, which was shaped like a huge diamond twenty-five feet long; then little one-meter sharks, the head large, the snout short and rounded, the teeth sharp and arranged in several rows, the body seemingly covered with scales.
