海底惊现巨大水母对人类的启示

这两名潜水员，阿博特(Dan Abbott)和戴利(Lizzie Daly)，当时正在为一个名为“野生海洋周”(Wild Ocean Week)的社交媒体众筹项目拍摄一系列照片，捕捉海洋里的浮光幻影，就在这时，意外的“邂逅”发生了。这张照片拍摄到了戴利和超大水母共游的瞬间，随即在网上走红而疯传。惊人之处不仅在于这只水母的巨型体格，还在于照片神奇地捕捉到了两个世界的碰撞。戴利身着全套潜水服，嘴里含着呼吸管，头戴橡胶面具，脚蹬人工鳍。水母则呈现出一种脆弱的美丽，通体透明，姿态轻松优雅。两个物种质地上的冲突彰显出人类与我们共享同一地球的生物是多么的接近，同时又是多么的疏远。

Still, even in the strangest of shapes and those furthest removed from our own experience, we are capable of glimpsing a semblance of ourselves. "A jellyfish, if you watch it long enough," the writer Ali Benjamin memorably opens her children's novel The Thing About Jellyfish, "begins to look like a heart beating... It's their pulse, the way they contract swiftly, then release. Like a ghost heart – a heart you can see right through, right into some other world where everything you ever lost has gone to hide." Ingenious shapeshifters (some are known to morph in order to fool predators), jellyfish are like living lava lamps or fluttering Rorschach tests; the way we perceive their almost amorphousness says more about who we are than what they are. They're the abstract art of the ocean.
