冰床

南极约98%覆盖着厚厚的大陆冰床，2%为光秃的岩石。南部是南极洲的冰冻陆地。

There are about 98 % thick continental ice sheet and 2 % barren rock . The icy shores of Antarctica lie to the south .

冰床平均厚度是7200英尺，占地球总冰量90%、淡水70%。

The average thickness of the ice sheet is 7,200 feet ; this amounts to 90 % of all the ice and 70 % of all the fresh water in the world .

北极熊只能在海面的冰床上猎取食物。

Polar bears only hunt from ice platforms at sea .

当我跟我的因纽特主人交谈时，他的妻子把北极狼皮和北美驯鹿皮堆在冰床上。

I was talking with my Inuit host , his wife piled Arctic wolf and caribou skins on the ice bed .

其原因估计是由于地球温暖化的影响造成冰床融解，导致了对地表压重减少的缘故。

The reason is because estimates of the impact of global warming caused by melting ice sheets , leading to weight reduction for the sake of the surface pressure .

他们知道恐怖电影会吓到他们，冰床也不怎么舒服，培根冰淇淋也会吃起来怪怪的，但是概念消费会带来一种明显的收获。

They know the movie will frighten them , the icy bed will be uncomfortable and the bacon ice-cream will be weird , but there is a clear payoff in conceptual consumption .
