Yet the Trieste was not a submarine, but rather a bathyscaphe, specifically designed to withstand the tremendous pressure.

然而特号并不是潜艇，而是个深海潜水器，专门设计来承受巨大压力。

Bathysphere or bathyscaphes such as the Trieste are able to dive to much deeper depths than a submarine because they are spherical, as opposed to the cylinder design of a submarine.

特等探海球或潜水器能够比潜艇潜入更深海底，因为它们是球形，与潜艇圆柱体设计相反。

To pay homage to Piccard and Walsh, I'd taken this astonishing watch onboard my submersible: the Old Lady – the same prototype that these great pioneers had rigged on their bathyscaphe, the Trieste, in 1960.

为了向皮卡德与沃尔什致敬，我将这只惊人原型腕表，我称之为老，并带入我潜水器内。这是1960年伟大先驱，固定在深海潜艇”特号“上同只腕表。

While modern submersibles may even be able of reaching the depths of Challenger Deep, none have tried since the famous expedition of the Trieste bathyscaphe- yet today, surprisingly enough its NASA that is interested in very deep-diving submersibles.

虽然现代潜水器甚至可能能够到达挑战者深渊深处，但自从著名特深海潜水探险以来，没有人尝试过。然而今天，令人惊讶是，NASA对深潜潜水器开始感兴趣。
