jellyfish 专八

You can get a nasty sting from a jellyfish.

你可能会被水母狠狠地蜇一下。

In scyphozoan jellyfish, the free-swimming medusa form is the dominant stage, with the sessile polyp form found only during larval development.

自由游泳水母见于各海洋，包括常见沿海岸线漂流盘形动物(如甲壳动物)。

In the adult, or medusa stage of a jellyfish, they can reproduce sexually by releasing sperm and eggs into the water, forming a planula.

在海蜇成体或水母体阶段，它们通过将精子和卵于释放到水中形成浮浪幼体而进行有性。

The top of the cloud rises into a jellyfish shape and long tentacles known as “trailing virga” form from rain drops that have evaporated.

实上，往往在暴风雨侵袭得最猛烈阶段过后，才能看到这种云层。
