Shang Ke and Waves, who is the small dolphin, would undergo examinations by the medical personnel every few days. That was understandable, since the dolphins were eliminated by a plague once upon a time, it was hard to say if perhaps they still carried that kind of fatal bacteria on them.
幸运的是，到目前为止，他和小海豚的健康状况都十分良好。基地人员仔细查阅了前人留下的研究资料和记录，得知海豚是一种感情丰富的生物，过度的限制和刺激，会让他们心情抑郁，甚至出现自杀行为，而且人工饲养的海豚，平均寿命一般比野生海豚少710年，死亡率比自然环境下高出了5%左右。
Fortunately, up till present time, he and the small dolphin’s state of health was great. The staff of the base carefully studied the research material and notes their predecessor left behind, and learned that the dolphins were animals that were full of emotions. Upsetting them and too many restrictions on their freedom would make them depressed, and may even commit suicide. Further, the life expectancy of a human raised dolphin was shorter by 7 to 10 years compared to wild ones, their mortality rate was higher as well compared to their wild counterparts by about 5%.
TL Note: The raws wrote 710 years but dolphins don’t live that long… so I’m just going to split the number into two and assume it’s probably a typo
海豚的大脑体积仅次于人类，比猩猩还大，能够进行问题解决、自我感知及情绪处理的高级神经认知过程。也就是说，如果海豚的大脑开发到人类的程度，它们也能拥有不低于人类的智慧、创造力和社会意识。
The brain volume of a dolphin is only second to humans, even larger than an orangutan. They were capable of making questions and answering them, have self-awareness and deal with their emotions, these kinds of high-level mental cognition processes. In other words, if the brain of a dolphin was developed to the point of humans, they would have wisdom, ingenuity and social awareness not below of humans.
因此，基地人员对尚可和海浪特别呵护，即使需要检查和研究，也尽量采取温和的手段，循序渐进。
As such, the staff was very gentle with Shang Ke and Waves. Even when they needed to examine and research them, they tried to do it with the gentlest way possible and make steady progress.
比起尚可曾经生活的世界，人们对海豚的重视可谓天差地别，简直就是当幼儿一般伺候着。一旦发现两只海豚有哪里不开心了，众人立刻会进入紧张备战状态。
Compared to the world Shang Ke once lived in, the people here treated dolphins with such importance that the difference couldn’t be any larger; they were taken care of like their own children. The moment they notice that the two dolphins were unhappy about something, everyone would immediately tense up and fall into prepared to fight mode.
可喜的是，两只海豚都非常乖巧，不但没有给基地人员带来任何负担，反而时常逗得他们哈哈大笑。不过半个月时间，它们便赢得了所有人的喜爱。
What was gratifying was that the two dolphins were very clever and obedient, not only did they not burden the staff, they made everyone very happy. In just half a month, they had won over everyone’s hearts.
基地的外水域是与大海连通的，水下世界与自然海域没有多少区别，生活着各种水生物，每隔半个月会开一次水闸，不过因为两只海豚的到来，水闸开启前会先关上内网，避免海豚跑回大海。
The outer pool of the base was connected to the sea, the world below the water was not that much different to the wild as all sorts of aquatic organisms lived there. Every half a month, they would open the watergates, but with the arrival of the two dolphins, they would now first place a net blocking the entrance before opening the gates to prevent the dolphins from swimming back to the sea.
