Sounds crazy. But this goes back to that theme about, you know, your imagination creating a reality. Because we actually created a reality where six months later I find myself in a Russian submersible two and a half miles down in the north Atlantic, looking at the real Titanic through a view port, not a movie, not a HD, for real!
听起来很疯狂，但是这又回到了主题上，你知道，想象创造现实。因为我们确实创造了现实，六个月之后，我在北大西洋2.5英里深的水下的一艘俄罗斯潜艇里，透过舷窗看着真正的泰坦尼克号，不是在电影里，也不是高画质的，是真的。
Now, that blew my mind. And you know, it took a lot of preparation, we had to build cameras and lights and all kinds of things. But, it struck me how much this dive, these deep dives was like a space mission. You know, where it was highly technical, and it required enormous planning. You get in this capsule, you go down to this dark hostile environment where there is no hope of rescue if you can't get back by yourself. And you know, I thought like, "Wow. I am like living in a science fiction movie. This is really cool."
这让我非常惊讶。你知道，要做很多准备工作，我们得搭建摄影机，设计灯光和所有其他东西。但是令我震惊的是，这次深海拍摄多么像是一次太空任务。你知道，技术高端，准备工作繁杂。你进入潜水舱，你下到黑暗危险的环境中。如果你自己回不去，就没有获救的希望。你知道，我想，“噢，我好像生活在科幻电影里，这太酷了。”
And so, I really got bitten by the bug of deep ocean exploration. Of course, the curiosity, the science component of it. It was everything. It was adventure. It was curiosity. It was imagination. And it was an experience that Hollywood couldn't give me. Because, you know, I could imagine a creature and we could create a visual effect for it. But I couldn't imagine what I was seeing out of that window. As we did some of our subsequent expeditions I was seeing creatures at hydrothermal vents and sometimes things that I had never seen before, sometimes things that no one had seen before, that actually were not described by science at the time that we saw them and imaged them. So, I was completely smitten by this, and had to do more.
在深海探险的时候，我真的对深海生物很好奇，当然，好奇是科学研究的一部分。这就是全部，这就是冒险，这就是好奇心，这就是想象力。这是我在好莱坞体会不到的。因为我可以想象一种生物并且为之创造一种视觉效果。但是我想象不到我在窗外看到的那些东西。在我们随后做的那些考察时，我看到了一些深海温泉区的生物。我从来没见过这些生物，没有人见过。事实上，我们看到它们，想到它们的时候，并不能用科学描述出来。我完全被迷住了，所以我要做得更多。
