Burford suspected that the squids could be combining different pigmentation patterns to create complex signals.

伯福德怀疑洪堡鱿鱼能将不同色素沉着图案结合起来，创造出复杂的信号。

Burford thinks Humboldt squid communicate in the dark ocean by using their own form of signaling.

伯福德认为，洪堡鱿鱼用自已的信号方式在黑暗的海洋中交流。

Burford eventually hopes to do underwater experiments in which the squid are shown playbacks of their visual signaling—virtual glowing squid, if you will.

Burford 最终希望进行水下实验，在实验中向乌贼展示它们视觉信号的回放——如果你愿意的话，可以是虚拟的发光乌贼。
