科学家发现太平洋海沟中的海洋生物蓬勃发展,对深海生态系统的看法提出了挑战。 Scientists find thriving marine life in Pacific trenches, challenging views on deep-sea ecosystems.

科学家在西北太平洋海沟最深处,深度超过31 000英尺(9.5公里),发现了一个由包括管虫和软体动物在内的海洋生物组成的蓬勃发展网络。 Scientists have discovered a thriving network of marine life, including tubeworms and mollusks, in the deepest parts of the northwest Pacific Ocean's trenches, at depths over 31,000 feet (9.5 kilometers). 这些生物在没有阳光和粮食匮乏的情况下生存下来,它们利用从海洋高处渗入的碳的化学反应而生存下来。 These creatures survive in the absence of sunlight and food scarcity by using chemical reactions from carbon trickling down from higher in the ocean. 这一发现挑战了以往关于生命在极端深度的潜力的假设,并为了解深海生态系统开辟了新的途径。 This discovery challenges previous assumptions about life's potential at extreme depths and opens new avenues for understanding deep-sea ecosystems.
