深潜新纪录&尴尬新发现

An American explorer has set a new deep diving record in the Mariana Trench, and in the process uncovered just how far human waste can travel.

一名美国探险家在马里亚纳海沟创造了一项新的深海潜水记录,在这个过程中,他也发现了人类废弃物可以传播多远。

Victor Vescovo has successfully completed a solo dive in the Pacific Ocean to Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, commonly known as the deepest point on planet Earth.

维克多·维斯科沃在太平洋成功完成了单人潜水,在马里亚纳海沟到达了挑战者深渊,而这里通常被称为地球上最深的地方。

“Personally being able to make the dive was just absolutely exhilarating,” Vescovo told us.

维斯科沃告诉我们:“就我个人而言,能够顺利完成潜水绝对是令人兴奋的。”

Vescovo went nearly seven miles deep or 35,853 feet, that’s 52 feet more than any person has ever gone. 

维斯科沃深潜达近7英里,即35,853英尺,比前人记录要深52英尺。

He also became the first human to make multiple solo dives to Challenger Deep.

他也成为第一个多次独自潜入挑战者深渊的人。

At the deepest point on the planet, Vescovo found what looked like plastic.

在地球最深的地方,维斯科沃发现了看起来像塑料的东西。

“It’s just an unfortunate consequence of multiple billions people on earth and all we consume,” he said.

他说:“这是地球上数十亿人以及我们所有人对地球的消耗带来的不幸结果。”

An estimated 8 million tons of plastic are thrown into the ocean annually.

据估计,每年有800万吨塑料被扔进大海。

It wasn’t all grim findings, Vescovo also discovered at least three new species of marine life, including a shrimp with extra long legs, and collected rocks from an area where humans have never been.

维斯科沃还发现了至少三种新的海洋生物,其中包括一种有着超长腿的虾,他还从人类从未到过的地方收集了岩石。

His submarine, 'Limiting Factor’ also made history.

他的潜艇“限制因素号”也创造了历史。

"We dove to the bottom of the Mariana Trench five times in 10 days, it had had two visits in 60 years before we went there," Vescovo said.

维斯科沃说:“我们在10天内下潜到马里亚纳海沟底部5次,在我们下潜之前的60年里它也曾有两次下潜。”

The 'Five Deeps' expedition has already successfully reached the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, Southern Ocean, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean.

“五大深渊”考察队已成功抵达大西洋、南大洋、印度洋和太平洋海底。

 Vescovo is planning to complete his historic expedition in late August when he dives the Molloy Deep in the Arctic Ocean.

维斯科沃计划在8月底完成他的历史性探险,届时他将潜入北冰洋的莫洛伊深海。

First, Vescovo will dive to the second deepest trench in the Pacific, the Tonga Trench, he says there is a slim chance it could actually be deeper than the Mariana Trench.

首先,维斯科沃将潜入太平洋第二深的海沟汤加海沟,他说,它实际上有很小的可能比马里亚纳海沟更深。

Diving isn’t Vescovo’s only passion-- he’s also a climber. Once he finishes his last dive in August, he will be the only person to ever summit the highest mountain on each continent and go to the lowest point of each ocean. 

潜水并不是维斯科沃唯一的爱好——他也是一名登山者。一旦他在8月完成最后一次潜水,他将是唯一一个登上各大洲最高峰同时也到达各大洋最低点的人。

He will have been to the "roof of the world," Mt. Everest, and its’ floor, the Mariana Trench.

他将成为去过“世界屋脊”珠穆朗玛峰,以及它的最低处,马里亚纳海沟的人。

"I always had the urge to explore, even as a little kid," Vescovo said.

维斯科沃说:“哪怕还是个小孩子的时候,我就总有去探索的冲动。”

问题:

有可能比马里亚纳海沟还要深的是什么海沟?
