Conseil observed and classified his zoophytes, articulates, mollusks, and fish.

康塞尔仍在观察，他把他的植虫类、节肢类、软体类、鱼类等搬出来加以分类。

Some zoophytes were dredged up by the chain of our trawl.

有些植虫类是由鱼网的链索拖拽上来。

Obviously, in the presence of these zoophyte and mollusk specimens, the fine lad was classifying his head off.

显然，这个守本分的人，要把眼前这些形形色色的植虫动物和软体动物分类，不停地分类。

But for a few minutes I kept accidentally confusing the two kingdoms, mistaking zoophytes for water plants, animals for vegetables.

不过，在几分钟内，我不知不觉地把动植物两类混淆起来，把植虫动物当做水产植物，把动物当做植物。

Sheer chance had placed me in the presence of the most valuable specimens of this zoophyte.

偶然的机会把这种植虫动物的一些最宝贵的品种摆在我面前。

Having nothing better to do, I decided to dredge these beautiful, clear waters, which exhibited a profusion of shells, zoophytes, and open-sea plants.

我因为目前没有什么可做的，就想到要在这些清澈的海水中去捞捞看，好像水里面有丰富的贝壳类、植虫类和海产植物。

Its fine-grained sand was followed by a genuine causeway of smooth crags covered by a carpet of mollusks and zoophytes.

细沙地之后，接着是突起的岩石路，路上铺着一层软体动物和植虫动物形成的地毯。

Certain compound animals, or zoophytes, as they have been termed, namely the Polyzoa, are provided with curious organs called avicularia.

某些复合动物， 或被称为植虫的动物， 即 Polyzoa， 具有称为鸟嘴体的奇特器官。

Its fine–grained sand was followed by a genuine causeway of smooth crags covered by a carpet of mollusks and zoophytes.

细粒沙后面是一条真正的堤道，由光滑的峭壁组成，上面覆盖着软体动物和动物植物的地毯。

The streak of sunlight had crept upward, edged away, and vanished; the zoophytes slept: a dusky gloom pervaded the room.

一道阳光爬上来， 逐渐消失，然后消失了。 植虫睡着了：房间里弥漫着昏暗的气氛。

Having nothing better to do, I decided to dredge these beautiful, clear waters, which exhibited a profusion of shells, zoophytes, and open–sea plants.

由于无事可做，我决定疏浚这些美丽清澈的水域，那里有大量的贝壳、动物植物和远海植物。

I wanted to preserve a few specimens of these delicate zoophytes, but they were merely clouds, shadows, illusions, melting and evaporating outside their native element.

我很想保留起这种精美植虫动物的一些品种，但它们不过是烟云、光影、空架，一离开原来的海水，就消敝得无影无踪。

I recognized the lower slopes of some magnificent rocks carpeted by the finest zoophyte specimens, and right off, I was struck by an effect unique to this medium.

我看出这是海底岩石前沿好看的一列，石上满铺着最美丽的形形色色的植虫动物；我首先就被这种特有的景色怔住。
