The fish had been living near an underwater hot spring, known as a hydrothermal vent, in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

那条鱼生活在中大西洋海脊的一个水下热泉附近，也就是所谓的深海热液喷口。

That mostly happens under water, at places like the Mid-Atlantic ridge, which is the longest mountain range on Earth.

这主要发生在水下，比如大西洋中部山脊，这是地球上最长的山脉。

For example, the crust beneath Iceland and the mid-Atlantic ridge is more dense than in the Indian Ocean, which means more mass, which means stronger gravity in the N. Atlantic.

例如，冰岛下的地壳和大西洋中洋脊就比印度洋密度更高，这代表它们具有更多质量，也就有更大重力。

The Mid--Atlantic Ridge, which winds its way between the Americas and Africa--Europe, is a prime example of this phenomenon.

蜿蜒在美洲和非洲-欧洲之间的大西洋中脊就是这种现象的一个典型例子。

Among the white smokers, a field of hydrothermal vents on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge called Lost City has become the most favored candidate for the cradle of life.

在白烟囱中，大西洋中脊地区的一个名为“失落之城”的热液喷口已经成为生命起源中最受欢迎的理想之处。

1000 years from now, since the ocean floor is spreading at a fast rate, 5 centimeters a year in the mid-Atlantic ridge, in a millennia, it will have spread a whopping 46 meters or 154 feet.

距今 1000 年之后，由于洋底正以每年 5 公分的速度在大西洋中部海脊快速扩张，到一千年后，它将扩展到惊人的 46 公尺或 154 英尺。
