1.liquid water 液態水
For example, scientists have found evidence that there could be liquid water—which is necessary for life on Earth—at many places on the Mars.
他說,比如,科學家曾經在火星上的很多地方發現曾有液態水存在的證據,而這是生物生存的必要條件 。
Although the temperature estimate is not yet definitive, the hotter the surface temperature makes for a hotter interior, strengthening the chances of pools of liquid water inside the moon.
現在對溫度的測量還不盡準確,越熱的表面溫度預示著越熱的內部溫度,這增加了土衛二內蘊含著大量液態水的可能性 。
2.thanks to 由于,幸虧
He preceded his speech with a vote of thanks to the committee.
他發表講話前先提議向全體委員表示感謝 。
To be sure, war, violence and poverty are still with us and we as mankind are probably more aware of these problems worldwide than ever before thanks to advances in technology and communication.
毫無疑問,戰爭、暴力以及貧窮仍然伴隨著我們,并且,作為人類,由于技術與通信的進步,我們可能比以往任何時候都更深切地意識到了這些問題 。
