Muscle contraction expands the chromatophores and helps them change the skin color to match its surroundings.

通过肌肉收缩扩散色素细胞，章鱼以此改变自身肤色融入周围环境。

This talent is due to pigment cells called chromatophores in octopus skin.

这种天赋是章鱼皮肤上的一种色素细胞起到了关键作用。

" And they do this by moving pigments within specialized skin cells called chromatophores."

“它们通过转移特定皮肤内细胞内的色素来实现的。”

Reflecting cells beneath the chromatophores mirror the squid's surroundings, enabling it to blend in.

反映色素细胞下的细胞反映出乌贼的周围环境，使其融入其中。

There are the chromatophores opening and closing very quickly.

有色素细胞打开和关闭得非常快。

Chromatophores consist of tiny sacks filled with color dye.

色素细胞由装满彩色染料的小袋子组成。

" If our conclusions about the chromatophores are correct, this is a beautiful example of innovation in evolution, " she said.

" 如果我们关于色素细胞的结论是正确的，这就是进化创新的一个很好的例子。"

Reflecting cells beneath the chromatophores mirror the squid’s surroundings, enabling it to blend in.

色素细胞下方的反射细胞反映了乌贼的周围环境，使其能够融入其中。

Each of these chromatophores is under the individual control of the squid's nervous system, so while some expand, others remain contracted.

每种色素细胞都在鱿鱼神经系统的个体控制下，所以当一些扩张时，另一些仍然保持收缩。

The chromatophores are closed, and you see this magical iridescence just come out of the skin.

色素细胞关闭，您会看到这种神奇的虹彩刚刚从皮肤中散发出来。
