Why Do Certain Clams Produce Pearls Only After a Grain of Sand Enters Their Shell?
为什么某些蚌类仅在沙粒进入壳内后才产珍珠?
精读先不看文字,完整听一遍。
-
Pearls form when an irritant like sand or a parasite slips between a clam’s mantle and its shell.当沙粒或寄生虫等异物进入蚌的外套膜与贝壳之间时,珍珠便由此形成。
-
The mollusk cannot remove the particle, so it coats it with layers of nacre over months or years.蚌无法排出异物,于是经数月乃至数年,层层分泌珍珠质将其包裹。
-
Nacre is the same iridescent material that lines the inner shell and gives pearls their soft glow.珍珠质是一种具有虹彩光泽的物质,也是贝壳内层的衬里,赋予珍珠柔和光泽。
-
Not all clams make pearls—only those with glands capable of secreting abundant, uniform nacre.并非所有蚌都能产珍珠——只有具备大量、均匀分泌珍珠质能力的腺体者才行。
-
Saltwater oysters and freshwater mussels are the most common pearl producers in nature.海水牡蛎和淡水贻贝是自然界中最常见的珍珠生产者。
-
The shape and color of a pearl depend on the irritant’s size, shape, and the mollusk’s health.珍珠的形状与颜色取决于异物的大小、形状以及蚌的健康状况。
-
Some pearls are round because the grain rotates slowly inside the mantle tissue.有些珍珠呈圆形,是因为微粒在外套膜组织内缓慢滚动。
-
Others stay baroque if the particle remains fixed or gets coated unevenly.若微粒固定不动或包裹不均,则形成不规则的巴洛克式珍珠。
-
Farmers now insert polished beads deliberately to control pearl shape and quality.如今养殖者会主动植入抛光珠核,以控制珍珠的形状与品质。
-
Still, natural pearls remain rare because the process requires perfect biological timing and environment.天然珍珠依然稀有,因其形成需完美的生物时机与环境条件。

课程开发中,敬请期待。成人和孩子都可以先自学听读、精读。
这边的讲解音轨还在做。想先跟着老师走完固定 30 课,可以去陈老师带读社(和自学通行不是同一份会员)。
