Chapter 1: Diving into the Depths Hi! My name is Dr. Ick. And like my name hints, I love all things that might make other people say, "Ick!" Strange sea creatures are especially fascinating to me! This is my good friend Sam. He's not a big fan of icky, sticky, or strange things. But that's okay! Sea creatures live far away from us in the ocean.

第一章：潜入深海 嗨！ 我是伊克博士。 就像我的名字暗示的那样，我超爱所有会让别人直呼“咦，好恶心！”的东西。 稀奇古怪的海洋生物尤其让我着迷！ 这是我的好朋友萨姆。 他可不怎么喜欢黏糊糊、脏兮兮或者奇奇怪怪的东西。 不过没关系呀！ 海洋生物都住在离我们很远的大海里呢。

The ocean is a large body of salt water that is divided into five regions: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern Oceans. With tall mountains and deep trenches, the ocean has plenty of space for countless fascinating sea creatures!

海洋是一片广阔的咸水水域，一共分为五大洋：太平洋、大西洋、印度洋、北冰洋和南大洋。 海洋里有高耸的山脉，还有幽深的海沟，有足够的空间容纳数不清的神奇海洋生物！

Some sea animals live in shallow water. Others prefer the deep, dark parts of the ocean. The Japanese spider crab can be found as deep as 1,640 feet below sea level!

有些海洋动物生活在浅水区。 还有些更喜欢海洋深处黑漆漆的地方。 日本蜘蛛蟹最深能在海平面以下1640英尺的地方生存哦！

The deeper into the ocean we dive, the stranger the animals we see. These sea creatures must adapt, or change, to suit the deeper water. The ocean's depths are divided into five zones. Each zone has a distinct ecosystem, or network of living organisms and their environment. Like me in the comfort of my house!

我们往海洋里潜得越深，见到的动物就越奇特。 这些海洋生物必须适应，也就是做出改变，才能在更深的水域里生活。 海洋的深处一共被分成五个带。 每个带都有独特的生态系统，也就是由生物和它们的生存环境组成的网络。 就像我舒舒服服待在自己家里一样！
