Raw Text (Chinese / Pinyin / English)
Chinese

地球上大约71%的地方是蓝色的海洋,在美丽的海底世界里,生活着各种各样的植物和动物。 我们小时候都听过美人鱼的故事,其实真正的海底世界比故事里写的更美。 科学研究发现,海洋底部看上去非常安静,然而却不是一点儿声音也没有,海底的动物们一直在“说话”,只不过人的耳朵是听不到的。 另外,就算在几公里深的海底也仍然能看到东西,许多鱼会发出各种颜色的亮光,像一个个排列起来的灯,美极了,就像在梦里一样。

English

About 71% of the Earth is the blue ocean. In the beautiful underwater world, all kinds of plants and animals live. When we were little, we all heard stories about mermaids. In fact, the real undersea world is even more beautiful than the stories describe. Scientific research has found that the ocean floor looks very quiet; however, it is not completely silent. The animals on the seabed are constantly "talking"; it's just that human ears cannot hear it. In addition, even on the seabed several kilometers deep, you can still see things. Many fish emit lights of various colors, like lamps lined up one by one. It is extremely beautiful, just like in a dream.
