A bit like the Arctic, with all that ice, all those ridges and cracks311.It's Jupiter's moon, Europa.312.And maybe, like the Arctic, this ice is floating on water, liquid water 313.But we're half a billion miles from the Sun.314.Surely, Europa is frozen solid315.Unless, Jupiter's gravity is creating friction deep inside... 316....heating the ice into water, allowing life to develop in the water... 317....beneath its frozen crust.318.We might be feet away from aliens319.From a whole ecosystem of microbes, crustaceans, maybe even squid 320.The only thing between us and the possibility of alien life... 321....this layer of ice.322.But until we send a spacecraft to drill here...323....Europa's secrets will remain beyond reach324.It's captivated our imaginations, haunted our dreams325.And here it is, spinning before our eyes326.Saturn.d for the Roman god...328....who reigned over an golden age of peace and harmony329.This planet's a giant ball of gas, so light it would float on water330.Its spectacular rings would stretch almost from Earth to the Moon. 331.There's the Cassini orbiter332.It's picking up ghostly radio emissions333.Probably generated by auroras around Saturn's poles334.This is the real music of the spheres.335.Cassini's telling us where these rings came from.336.They're the remnants of a moon shattered by Saturn's gravitational pull 337.Incomparable beauty from total destruction338.Billions of shards of ice339.Some as small as ice cubes, others the size of houses.340.They collide, break apart, reassemble341.It's like a snapshot of our early solar system...342....as dust and gas orbited the newly born Sun343....and gravity worked this magic pulling the lumps together... 344....until from space trash like this, our home emerged345.We could stay here forever346.But there's so much further to go, so much more to see.347.Like this moon wrapped in thick clouds, Titan.348.There's an atmosphere down here349.There's wind, rain ,even seasons350.Rivers, lakes and oceans351.It looks so familiar, so similar to Earth.352.But that's not water, it's liquid natural gas353.Hundreds of times more natural gas than all the Earth's oil and gas reserves 354.Maybe, one day, we'll use this energy to fuel a colony.355.Assuming there isn't life here already356.The Huygens space probe is here to find out357.It's telling us there's organic material in the soil.358.But it's so cold, minus 300 degrees359.There's no way life could develop360.Unless Titan warms up.361.The Sun is supposed to get hotter362.When it does maybe life will spring up here...363....just like it did on Earth364.And as the Earth gets too hot for us, maybe we'll move to Titan.365.One day, we might call this distant land home366.Home.367.We're at least 700 million miles away now.368.After this we lose visual contact with Earth.369.We're standing on a cliff370.Looking out over a great chasm that stretches to the beginning of time. 371.Do we have the courage to jump?372.We're in the solar system's outer reaches.373.Unseen from Earth, unknown for most of history374.It's like diving into the depths of the ocean375.Those rings make it look like Uranus has been tilted off its axis 376....toppled over by a stray planet377.It's eerie out here.378.Already beginning to feel small, lonely379.Maybe this is how we'll feel at the edge of the universe380.But we've barely left the shore381.If the solar system was one mile wide, so far we've traveled about 3 inches 382.Out of the deep, another strange beast...383....the god of the sea, Neptune384.This world is covered in methane gas385.And a storm as big as Earth...386....whipped up by savage thousand mile-an-hour winds387.Back home, it's the Sun that drives the wind...388....But Neptune's far away.389.Something else must be creating these ferocious winds390.But what?391.We know very little about our own solar system.392.After all those balls of gas a solid moon393....Triton.394.Solid but not stable395.Just look at those geysers...396....cosmic smokestacks pumping out strange soot.397.And this moon is revolving around Neptune398....in the opposite direction of the planet's spin.399. A cosmic battle of wills...400....that this angry moon is destined to lose401.Neptune's massive gravity is pulling on Triton.402.Slowing it down, reeling it in403.One day, it will be ripped apart by Neptune404.And that's it405.No more moons, no more planets in our solar system.406.It's getting colder, we're getting further from the Sun...407....slipping from the grip of its gravitational tentacles.408.But this isn't a void409.It's teeming with frozen rocks.410.Like Pluto.411.Until recently, we thought Pluto was alone.412.Beyond it, nothing413.We were wrong414.More frozen worlds415.Discoveries so new nobody can agree what to call them416.Plutinos, ice dwarves, cubewanos417.Our solar system is far more chaotic and strange than we had imagined 418.Now we're 8 billion miles from home.The most distant thing ever seen that orbits the Sun......another small, icy world, Sedna, discovered in 2003Its orbit takes 10,000 years to complete.Hang on, there's something else out here.Ten billion miles from home the space probe, Voyager 1.This bundle of aluminum and antennae......gave us close up views of the giant planets......and discovered many of their strange moons.It's traveling 20 times faster than a bullet, sending messages home That gold plaque......its a kind of intergalactic message in a bottle.A greeting record in different languagesAnd a map showing how to find our home solar systemThe great physicist, Stephen Hawking......thinks it was a mistake to roll out the welcome mat.After all, if you're in the jungle, is it wise to call out?These comets look like the ones we saw earlier.There's a theory that the raw materials for life began out here... ...on a rock like this until something dislodged it......sending it hurting towards the EarthAnd seeding all this ice, maybe comets carried water to Earth too The water in the oceans, in your body......all from this distant celestial ice machine.We're 5 million, million, that's 5 trillion miles from home.But this is still only a baby step.Ahead, trillions of miles, billions of stars.Time to stop looking back and start looking ahead......to step out into the big, wide universeInterstellar space.Billions of stars like our own Sun......many with planets, many of those with moons.It's hard to know which way to goThere are infinite possibilities.We're going to need a serious burst of acceleration.Twenty-five trillion miles from home.A 150,000-year ride in the space shuttle.And we're only just reached the first solar system beyond...Alpha CentauriNot one but three stars.Spinning around each other locked in a celestial standoffEach star's gravity attracting the other......their blazing orbital speed keeping them apart.Get between them and we'd be vaporized......trillions of miles from home.So far that miles are becoming meaningless.Out here, we measure in light years.Light travels 6 trillion miles a year......so we are overfour light-years from home.Distances so vast they're mind-bogglingWho knows what strange forces lie ahead...what we'll discover when--If we reach the edge of the universeTen light years from Earth, the star Epsilon EridaniSpectacular rings of dust and iceAnd somewhere in there, planets forming out of debris......being born before our eyes.Asteroids and comets everywhereWe could almost be looking at our own solar system......billions of years ago.With comets delivering the building blocks of life......to these young planets.At the center of all the action, a star smaller than our sun......still in its infancy.Any life in this solar system would be primitive at bestThere must be more mature solar systems out here......But finding them is like looking for a needle in a cosmic haystack Twenty light years from Earth.Star Gliese 581It's about the same age as our sun.This planet is just the right distance from its sunAny closer and water would boil away, any further and it would freeze Ideal conditions for life to emergeAnd if a comet has struck, delivering water and organic materials... ...then life, complex beings like us, even civilizations like our own... ...could be down there right nowThey could be tuning into our TV signals......watching shows from 20 years ago.But until we devise a way of communicating......over these vast distances, all we can do is speculateUs and them, living parallel lives......unaware of each other's existence.Unless life has come and goneThat's the problem with comets.They're creators and destroyers......as the dinosaurs the hard wayThis is the needle in the cosmic haystack......the closest we've come to a habitable solar system like our own... ...but it's a chance encounter.There could be hundreds...lions more solar systems like this out there or none at all. Some of the atmosphere on this planet, Bellerophon......is being boiled away by its nearby star.From Earth, we can't see planets this far out.They're obscured by the brilliance of their neighboring stars.But the planets have a minute gravitational pull on those stars. Measure these tiny movements and we can prove they exitThat's how we tracked down Bellerophon in the 1990's......and hundreds of other distant planetsSixty-five light years from Earth......turn on your TV here and you'd pick up Hitler's Berlin Olympics The twin stars of Algol.Known to the ancients as the demon starFrom Earth, it appears to blink as one star passes across the other. Up close, it's even stranger.One star is being sucked towards the otherAlmost 100 light years from home......faint whispers from one of the first ever radio broadcastsFrom here on out, it's as if the Earth never existedFeels like a life time since we stood on that beach......looking up at the sky, wondering where and how we fit inWe've learned one thing for sureThe universe is too bizarre, too startling......for us to guess what lies aheadDeep inside our galaxy, the Milky WayPinpricks of light that have inspired a thousand and one tales The Seven Sisters, the daughters of the ancient Greek god, Atlas ...transformed into star to comfort their father......as he held the heavens on his shouldersAnd this giant, BetelgeuseThe brightest, biggest star we've seen so far.Six hundred times wider than our sunBut this, it's not a star......not a planet, not like anything we've seen.A ghostly specter, more than 1,300 light years from Earth... ...Orion's dark cloudDust and gas shrouding usThere, deep inside, a light, pulling the dust and gas towards it... ...heating up, merging into a ball of burning hot gas.Like a star, like our sun in miniature.Inside, it's millions of degreesSo hot, it's beginning to trigger nuclear reactions......the kind that keep our sun shining......making energy, radiation, lightA star is being born.Orion's dark cloud is a vast star factoryWe're witnessing the birth of the future universe.We've come to expect destruction......but this is one of the universe's greatest acts of creation.Star birth.This doesn't look rightJets of gas exploding out with tremendous force......blasting dust and gas out for millions of miles.It's unbelievably violent and creativeNebula......vast glowing clouds of gas hanging in space.With no wind out here, they'll take thousands of years to disperse They seem to be forming a vast stellar sculpture.Nature is more than a scientist, an engineer......it's an artist on the grandest of scalesAnd this is a masterpieceStars are born, grow up, and then, then what?Do they die?。

Unit 6 Travel Around the World课文翻译大学体验英语三

Unit 6 Travel Around the WorldPassage A The Woman Taxi Driver In CairoHer name is Nagat.I first saw her outside Cairo's airport terminal. A woman taxi driver - the only woman, for that matter, among a large crowd of her male counterparts.Do you know what it is like to arrive in a strange city in the middle of the night? Nobody, not even a ray of sunshine is here to greet you. When I walk out of the terminal, I am facing the crowd of taxi drivers milling about in front of every airport the world over. Here in Cairo, it is large and noisy. "Taxi!" "You want taxi?" I hear all round me.I feel a firm hand holding my left arm. "You want taxi, follow me," the woman says. She doesn't ask, she simply pulls me through the crowd. I follow her willingly. There is this moment when a tourist, particularly a woman, simply has to trust someone. We stop at a worn car. It has seen a better day, there are quite a few scrapes on its body, the tires are bald and there is a crack in the windshield. But it is a car for hire, and the woman will personally drive me. I breathe a sigh of relief when she puts my bag into the trunk, locks it and gets behind the wheel. "I will drive you, don't worry," she says.Nagat, as she now explains to me, works as a taxi driver several days and nights a week. She has another job, working in an office, but details of it remain vague. The little old car is not hers; it belongs to a boss from whom she in turn rents it whenever she can. She has been a driver ever since her husband died some ten years earlier and left her with two teenage kids and her parents to support.She knows every nook and cranny in and around Cairo - no easy feat. Cairo with its complex system of streets and lanes, its quarters and markets is like a labyrinth invented by ancient storytellers. Hundreds of mosques - many of which are masterpieces of Islamic architecture, old neighborhoods with houses boxed together, huge apartment buildings on the outskirts and the Nile calmly running through it; all are part of this overcrowded city.With a mild sense of humor around a deep core of understanding of human nature, Nagat takes control of my sightseeing schedule. Every morning punctually at nine o'clock, I can depend on seeing her short, solid frame outside the hotel lobby, her round face turning into a big smile as soon as she sees me coming down the stairs. Most every day, she wears an earth tone-colored Jellaba. Her movements are energetic and she doesn't waste any time. Her determined approach seems to have grown on a bed of economy, onthe necessity to get as much done as she possibly can.What becomes clear to me soon as she drives me from museum to pyramid, from one part of town to the opposite, is this: she is a true exception here. Wherever we stop, be it for a cup of tea during a break or upon arriving at a historical site where her male colleagues gather in the parking area - everywhere, she is being noticed. Men walk up to her in the car with questioning faces. As she tells me, they all have one question first of all: "Are you a taxi driver?" She then explains in a few short sentences, and I see the men's faces soften, smile and respectfully and kindly chat with her. This scene repeats itself over and over again. I get the sense that she invites goodwill from the people she meets.Nagat is proud and independent. One day, as I find her waiting outside a museum, she is just taking a spare tire out of the trunk of the taxi. One of the bald tires had finally gone flat, and she was going to change it herself. Several curious people gather around her and she receives offers of help - but no, she wants no part of that. In her efficient, deliberate manner, she changes the tire, and having done so, washes her hands with bottled water, gets in the taxi and asks "Where to now?"Should you find yourself at Cairo's airport, look for Nagat outside the international arrival hall. If you are lucky, you will have a chance to see Cairo through the eyes of a woman taxi driver.开罗的女出租车司机她叫娜格特。

Life is a journey, Do not care about the destination, care about, is the scenery along the way, and look at the scenery.
Life is a journey, travel in every person, every thing and every beautiful scenery, there may be a life scenery.
This is a traveler wrote to his son a letter:
We need to travel, if we don't offer ourselves to the unknown, our senses dull, our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes don't lift the horizon, our ears don't hear the sound around us, our experience is restricted as we pass our days in a routine that is both comforting and limiting. We wake one day and we find that we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days.
