With 80 days to go until landing,
距離著陸還剩80天時
the team are carrying out their toughest test.
團隊迎來了最嚴峻的考驗
A complete rehearsal of the Rover's landing,
即好奇號著陸過程的
in real time.
模擬演練
The spacecraft is now reporting,
航天器發來信號
radio has reached entry interface and things are nominal.
無線電信號已接受 一切正常
Although it's a simulation,
盡管這只是模擬演練
it feels just like the real thing.
卻與實戰相差無幾
This is the big day,
真是重要的一天
which is to say the big night.
確切地說是一晚
We've gone through essentially five days of approach,
五天來 飛船逐漸靠近火星
but now here,
現在
we have only a few hours left until landing
距離著陸只剩幾個小時
and so it's kind of... This is for the money!
感覺上 好戲要開場了
As they simulate the Rover's final approach to Mars,
當他們在模擬好奇號最后的著陸過程時
the atmosphere in the control room is good.
總控室的氣氛卻十分輕松
Even the scientists have arrived to watch the show.
甚至連科學家都來欣賞這場表演
It's going really well.
一切都很正常
We're just under 30 minutes
距離登錄火星表面
until we touch down on the surface of Mars.
只剩不到30分鐘
重點解釋：
1.carry out 施行；實現
例句：He hasn't the funds to carry out his design.他沒有資金來施行他的設計。
2.go through 經歷；檢查
例句：He thought it his duty to go through the papers.他認為自己有責任檢查這些文件。
3.touch down (飛機)著陸,落地
例句：At last he touched down on the mainland.最后他在大陸上著陸了。
