I start suiting up in anticipation
我提前做好准备，穿上潜水服
the waters 45 degrees but my dry suit will keep me one
海水温度达45度，但我的干式潜水服能让我保持体温
now I'm ready well uh
现在我准备好了
ready to die the cold Pacific Northwest
准备在太平洋西北部寒冷的海水中死去
my cold water dive gear is salty and cumbersome but I'm used to it
我的冷水潜水装备含盐且笨重，但我已经习惯了
let's go check it out
我们去看看吧
descending through the kelp I find a world as rich in marine life as east pork driven by similar tidal action and nutrients
沿着巨藻下潜，我找到像东港一样有着万千海洋生物的海洋世界，也有着类似的潮汐和营养物
I swim over the edge of the wall to search for a specific wool field
我游到墙边寻找特定的狼鳗场地。
there making just his head out from its den
狼鳗从洞里探出头来
a fully grown male wolf eel stares at my camera
成年的公狼鳗盯着我的相机
nearby a younger one with darker coloration also curious what I'm up to
附近的一个颜色较深年幼点的狼鳗也很好奇我在做什么
but not about to come out
但它不准备出来
both have prominent teeth just like the Atlantic wolffish
它们的牙齿都很突出，和大西洋的狼鱼很像
but they appear just as docile
但它们看起来都很温顺
soon I turned back to observe the big male and he starts coming right at me
不久，我回过头去观察那只雄性狼鳗，它开始向我扑来
he's coming out of his den
它从洞里出来了
he's a lot longer than the Atlantic wolffish
比大西洋的狼鱼长很多
I'm not sure what he's up to
我不知道它要干什么
he comes up too closely investigate my lens
它凑近我的镜头
maybe he sees his reflection
也许它看到了自己的倒影
he lets me hold him in my hand
它让我抱着它
they told me the Pacific ones were friendly but this is incredible
他们告诉我太平洋的鱼很友好，但有些不可思议
I'm beginning to think maybe this fish has been fed quite a bit and he's looking for a handout
我开始想也许它已经吃了不少了，正在向我要吃食
but I didn't bring him any food
但是我没有给它带任何食物
he tried my arm to see how it tastes but dry suits apparently aren't very good eating
它试了试我的胳膊看看味道如何，但显然潜水服不好吃
before long he gets the idea that I haven't got anything to eat
不久它就觉得我没有东西可以给它
so he goes over to see my dive buddy Tim who just happens to a brought a snack
所以去看我的潜水伙伴蒂姆，碰巧他带了点心
now I would bet that there's no way a wolfeel would eat a sausage
我敢打赌，狼鳗是不会吃香肠的
but as it turns out they love sausages who'd have fun
但事实证明，它们喜欢吃美味的香肠
after he gets his snack the wolf eel heads back to again and then I can see why they call them wolf feels
吃完后，狼鳗再次回过头，然后我就明白为什么人们称呼它们为狼鳗了
this fish has a body six feet long and it's more alike than fish like
狼鱼有6英尺长，模样很像鱼
so why do we call the Atlantic one fish and the Pacific ones eels
那么，我们为什么称大西洋的为狼鱼，而称太平洋的为狼鳗呢
good question but they're both fish and probably one of the most interesting fish to interact with in the entire world
问得好，它们都是鱼，而且可能是世界上最有趣的鱼类之一
no matter what you call them they're cool
不管怎么称呼，它们都很酷
