Yet there is one basic difficulty to living in water --- the fact that it's incompressible.

And since you’re dealing with an incompressible fluid, the density is going to be the same for every point in the pipe anyway.

而且由于您正处理可压缩的流体， 因此无论如何管道中每个点的密度都是相同的。

Loosely packed dry soils tend to compress under stress, but with incompressible water unable to escape the gaps between grains, the soil can't compress and the water takes the load.

Because we are made largely of water ourselves, and water is virtually incompressible, in the words of Frances Ashcroft of Oxford University, the body remains at the same pressure as the surrounding water, and is not crushed at depth.

由于很大程度上我们本身也是由组成的，而——用牛津大学弗朗西斯·阿什克罗夫特的话来说——“实际上是压扁的”，因此人体仍会与周围一样的压力，会被压死。
