I'm a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was 我是一个地球物理学者，我还是一名学生的时候，
geology, vertical tectonics.
地质学定律，即地壳垂直运动构造理论。[02:03]
All the things we're going to walk through in our explorations and discoveries of the oceans were mostly discoveries made by accident.
We learned of Marshall Kay's geosynclinal cycle, which is a 我们学了马歇尔.凯的构造循环，那就是一派胡言
bunch of crap.
乱语。[02:00]

TED演讲者：Robert Ballard | 罗伯特.巴拉德
演讲标题：Exploring the ocean.s hidden worlds | 深海探险
内容概要：海洋探险家罗伯特.巴拉德将带领我们去海底世界进行一次令人震惊的旅行，在那儿，他和其他 研究者们正不断发现奇异的生命、资源，甚至新的山脉。他提出，对深海进行认真的探测和绘图具有充足 的理由。像谷歌海洋，还有谁? On more than 120 deep-sea expeditions, Robert Ballard has made many major natural discoveries, such as the deep-sea vents. Oh, and he found the Titanic.

I have a characterization.
我这儿有一个描绘。[02:31]
This is a characterization of what it would look like if you could remove the water.
如果你能去掉水，它看起来就是这个样子。[02:33]
question.
个问题的理由。[00:47]
If you compare NASA's annual budget to explore the heavens, 美国宇航局探测太空的年度预算 与国家海洋与大
that one year budget would fund NOAA's budget to explore 气管理局的预算比起来， 足够海洋勘探计划进行
而且我打算尝试，我希望解释以下几点。[01:33]
I'm going to make it right now in case I forget -- is everything 我打算现在就解释，以免忘了。 我将要呈现到你
I'm going to present to you was not in my textbooks when I 们面前的一切， 不在我念书时的教科书里。
多。这太令人吃惊了。[03:03]
All right. So we're going to immerse ourselves in the 72 percent of the planet because, you know, it's really naive to think that the Easter Bunny put all the resources on the continents.
海洋勘探由NOAA,也就是国家海洋与大气管理局 负责。[00:37]
And my question is this -- "Why are we ignoring the oceans?" 我的问题是：我们为什么忽视海洋？[00:41]
Here's the reason, or not the reason but here's why I ask that 理由是，或者不成其为理由，只是我为什么要问这
Most of the southern hemisphere is unexplored.
南半球大多数地方尚未勘探。[03:00]
We had more exploration ships down there during Captain 库克船长时代去那些海域探险的船只 比现在要
Cook's time than now. It's amazing.
16分钟的旅行，好了，请系好安全带。[01:23]
OK. And what we're going to do, is we're going to immerse 很好。下面我们将要做的， 就是要把我们自己沉
ourselves in my world.
浸在我的世界里。[01:29]
And what I'm going to try -- I hope I make the following points.
很好，现在我们要沉浸到 占地球表面积72%的地 方去了，你知道， 认为复活节兔子会把所有的资 源 都放到欧洲，这种想法实在是太天真了。 [03:09]
(Laughter) You know, it's just ludicrous.
（笑声） 你知道，这简直是荒谬的。[03:22]
I don't know," saying, "Is it a fracture zone? Is it a hot spot?" 不知道，”他们答道。 “这是一个断裂带吗？是
