Shortly before this flatness we saw sargasso weed floating by.

After Schmidt's death in 1933, some scientists cast doubt on his Sargasso proposition.

1933年，施密特去世后，一些科学家对他的马尾藻命题发出了质疑。

The Sargasso sea was a large floating mass of seaweed that no one had ever seen the like of.

那片“藻海”是一个巨大的浮动海藻群，没有人曾目睹过这样的东西。

Everyone knew the stakes. This wasn't a scan of the Sargasso Sea or a study of salinity samples.

每个船员都知道这次搜寻工作的重大意义，这绝不是像对马尾藻海域的扫描或是对海水样本盐度的研究一样简单。
