Moving to Mars
移居到火星
Some people believe that humans could live on the planet Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted because of the rapid increase in population. It is hoped that people could start all over again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like.
有些人相信到2100年人類可以在火星上生活。我們自己的星球,地球,因為人口的快速增長正在變得越來越擁擠,污染越來越嚴重。人們有望能夠在火星上重新開始,建設一個更好的世界。這里描述的是火星上的生活可能是什么樣子。
At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers to Mars--it would take months. With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraftthat travel at the speed of light! However, the spacecraft would travel so fast that the journey to Mars mightbe quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill.
目前,我們的宇宙飛船太慢了,無法運送大批的乘客去火星——因為要花幾個月的時間。隨著技術的發展,到2100年,乘坐以光速飛行的宇宙飛船,行程或許只要大約20分鐘!但是,宇宙飛船的飛行速度如此之快,可能會導致到火星的行程相當不舒服。很多人會覺得不舒服。
