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!
聽起來很瘋狂，但是這又回到了主題上，你知道，想象創造現實。因為我們確實創造了現實，六個月之后，我在北大西洋2.5英里深的水下的一艘俄羅斯潛艇里，透過舷窗看著真正的泰坦尼克號，不是在電影里，也不是高畫質的，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."
這讓我非常驚訝。你知道，要做很多準備工作，我們得搭建攝影機，設計燈光和所有其他東西。但是令我震驚的是，這次深海拍攝多么像是一次太空任務。你知道，技術高端，準備工作繁雜。你進入潛水艙，你下到黑暗危險的環境中。如果你自己回不去，就沒有獲救的希望。你知道，我想，“噢，我好像生活在科幻電影里，這太酷了。”
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.
在深海探險的時候，我真的對深海生物很好奇，當然，好奇是科學研究的一部分。這就是全部，這就是冒險，這就是好奇心，這就是想象力。這是我在好萊塢體會不到的。因為我可以想象一種生物并且為之創造一種視覺效果。但是我想象不到我在窗外看到的那些東西。在我們隨后做的那些考察時，我看到了一些深海溫泉區的生物。我從來沒見過這些生物，沒有人見過。事實上，我們看到它們，想到它們的時候，并不能用科學描述出來。我完全被迷住了，所以我要做得更多。
