The Dead Sea , also called the Salt Sea, is a salt lake bordering Jordan to the east, and Palestine and Israel to the west. Its surface and shores are 427 metres (1,401 ft) below sea level,[3] Earth's lowest elevation on land. The Dead Sea is 306 m (1,004 ft) deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. With 34.2% salinity (in 2011), it is also one of the world's saltiest bodies of water, though Lake Vanda in Antarctica (35%), Lake Assal (Djibouti) (34.8%), Lagoon Garabogazköl in the Caspian Sea (up to 35%) and some hypersaline ponds and lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica (such as Don Juan Pond (44%)) have reported higher salinities. It is 9.6 times as salty as the ocean.[5] This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea is 50 kilometres long and 15 kilometres wide at its widest point.[1] It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.
死海，也叫盐海，是一个东靠约旦，西邻巴勒斯坦和以色列的盐水湖。它的表面和海岸低于海平线427米（1401英尺），海拔是地球陆地上最低的。死海有306米（1004英尺）深，是世界上最深的高盐度的湖，在2011年，盐分达到34.2%。它也是世界盐分最高的水体之一，其中有南极洲的万达湖（35%），吉布提的阿塞尔湖（34.8%），里海的Garabogazköl 环礁湖（可达35%）。位于南极洲的一些干谷里的麦克默多站里，也有一些高盐度的池塘或者湖，例如一个名叫唐璜的池塘有着44%的盐度。死海的盐度是海洋的9.6倍。这样的盐度使得死海成为一个十分恶劣，动物无法繁衍的地方，就像它的名字说的那样。死海有50公里长，15公里宽，位于约旦的大裂谷中。它的主要支流是约旦河。

The Dead Sea (Hebrew: יָם הַמֶּלַח, Yām HaMélaḥ, "Sea of Salt", also Hebrew: יָם הַמָּוֶת, Yām HaMā́weṯ, "The Sea of Death"; Arabic: البحر الميت al-Baḥr al-Mayyit (help·info),[4]), also called the Salt Sea, is a salt lakebordering Jordan to the east, and Palestine and Israel to the west.
