Is there life on Earth
地球上有生命嗎？
There was great excitement on Venus this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to launch a satellite in orbit around the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.
本周金星上群情激動(dòng)。金星上的科學(xué)家首次把一顆衛(wèi)星成功地送上了地球，之后，衛(wèi)星便不斷地發(fā)回信號(hào)和照片。
The satellite was directed over an area known as Manhattan-named after the great Venusian astronomer Professor Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago. Because of excellent weather conditions and strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the possibility of landing a manned flying saucer on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.
衛(wèi)星對(duì)準(zhǔn)的是一片叫曼哈頓的地區(qū), 這個(gè)地區(qū)是以金星上偉大的天文學(xué)家曼哈頓教授的名字來命名的。兩萬光年前，曼哈頓教授用望遠(yuǎn)鏡首次發(fā)現(xiàn)了這個(gè)地區(qū)。由于天氣條件好，信號(hào)強(qiáng)，金星科學(xué)家們得以獲得了有關(guān)載人飛碟能否在地球上著陸的寶貴資料。于是，在金星理工學(xué)院舉行了一次記者招待會(huì)。
"We have come to the conclusion, based on the satellite findings," Professor Zog said. "There is no life on Earth."
“根據(jù)衛(wèi)星上的發(fā)現(xiàn)，我們已經(jīng)得出結(jié)論，”佐格教授說，“地球上沒有生命。”
"How do you know this?" the science reporter for the Venus Evening Star asked.
《金星晚報(bào)》的科學(xué)記者問：“你怎么知道的？”
"For one thing, Earth's surface is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive."
“首先，地球表面由堅(jiān)固的混凝土構(gòu)成，什么東西也無法在那里生長(zhǎng)。另外，大氣中充滿了一氧化碳和其他致命的氣體，任何人呼吸了這種空氣都不可能幸存下來。
