海底惊现巨大水母对人类的启示

Nothing underscores the otherworldliness of the sea quite like the jellyfish. Balletic in its strange clench-and-flex propulsion through water, a jellyfish's alien parachute appears impervious to the laws of motion as it flits and glides. One can only imagine how dislocating it must have been for a pair of divers off the coast of Cornwall in the UK this week to turn suddenly from examining slippery fronds of kelp to find themselves floating face-to-face with a ginormous tentacled sea medusa.

没有什么比水母更能体现海洋的奇幻和魔力。水母在海水中的推进奇特而怪异，一张一合，仿佛在跳着芭蕾舞，诡奇的伞状体似乎不受制于力学定律，在水中轻盈地飞掠和滑动。最近，英国康沃尔海岸的两名潜水员在滑溜溜的海带中穿行时，突然在漂浮中发现自己正与这样一只张牙舞爪的海中美杜莎撞个正着。

The two divers, Dan Abbott and Lizzie Daly, were filming a series of aquatic experiences for a social-media fundraising project, Wild Ocean Week, when the unexpected encounter occurred. A photo (taken by Abbott) of Daly swimming alongside the outsized jellyfish quickly went viral. What's so striking about the image isn't only the scale of the sea creature, but the collision of worlds that the photo poignantly captures. The clash of textures between the fully wet-suited and snorkel-sucking Daly, rubber masked and artificially finned, and the fragile beauty and effortless grace of the diaphanous sea beast, accentuates how near yet distant our existence is from those with whom we share our world.
