There are two kinds of hydrothermal vent: black smokers and white smokers.

黑烟囱和白烟囱。

But scientists now believe that black smokers were too hot for LUCA— so now the top candidates for the cradle of life are white smokers.

但科学家现在认为，黑烟口的温度对LUCA来说太高了——所以现在白烟口成为了生命摇篮的热门候选人。

Among the white smokers, a field of hydrothermal vents on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge called Lost City has become the most favored candidate for the cradle of life.

在白烟囱中，大西洋中脊地区的一个名为“失落之城”的热液喷口已经成为生命起源中最受欢迎的理想之处。
