中文故事

海底探险者社群（community）决定将他们新装修的厨房（galley）深沉入（submerge）海底。他们想看看花岗岩（granite）台面是否能承受大约（approximate）的海底压力。他们的总体（overall）目标是证明，即使是地球厚厚的地幔（mantle），也可以作为一个秘密海底小吃吧的合适场所。这真是个傻主意，但却是测试他们花岗岩（granite）装备的一次有趣实验。

英语故事

The community of underwater explorers decided to submerge their new galley, a fancy name for their kitchen, deep into the ocean. They wanted to see if the granite countertops could withstand the approximate pressure of the deep sea. Their overall goal was to prove that even the Earth's thick mantle could be a suitable place for a secret, underwater snack bar. It was a silly idea, but a fun experiment to test their granite gear.
