- Yet some have managed it,
但有些动物却能在此生存 - like the remiped, one of the most ancient of all living crustaceans.
例如桨足虫——一种最古老的甲壳动物 - The Maya understood the importance of the cenotes,
玛雅人知道沼穴的重要性 - but they could never have known that these flooded passageways were actually the beginning of subterranean rivers,
但他们从不知道这些水下通道 其实是地下河的入口 - all of which eventually flow out to the sea.
它们最终都流向大海 - Salt water, unlike fresh water, does not erode limestone,
咸水与淡水不同 不会溶解石灰岩 - so most sea caves are created by the mechanical pounding of the waves.
所以大部分海洋洞窟 是在海浪的机械冲击下形成的
