a kind of weak light that is created in the dark without noticeable heat

In mines and natural caves we find a species of fungus that emits an intense phosphorescence. 在矿井和天然洞穴中，我们发现有一种真菌会发出强烈的磷光。

It was dark enough for the phosphorescence in the waves to show as ghostly green lines rippling on the shore. 天色已经很暗了，海浪中的磷光犹如幽灵般的绿色线条在岸边荡漾。
