Ebony, 我們上網(wǎng)看到美國在幾年之后又要將人送上月球。關于這個你有什么想法?
Ebony:OK, about people on the moon, I think it's really cool! I say that as a natural reaction, but I know they've tried it before. I think it would be maybe a good idea economically, but then again not.
恩,關于人上月球,我認為那很酷啊!那是一種自然反應。但我知道美國人之前就已經(jīng)嘗試過了。從經(jīng)濟的角度來說那是個不錯的想法,然而又不是。
Todd:Sure.
當然。
Ebony:I mean, because first of all, how are we financially in the US? What are they doing? I think they are trying to pick up spirits or distract right now with all the other underlying issues!
我的意思是,首先,我們是如何在美國經(jīng)濟獨立的?他們在做什么?我想他們在試圖重拾斗志或分散所有其他潛在問題!
Todd:Yeah!
對的
Ebony:Honestly, when I heard that, I was like, is this some kind of propoganda, some kind of billboard distraction. In my opinion, I mean, it's an awesome idea though if you really think behind it, but I don't know if that's what we should be looking at right now.
老實說,當我聽到的時候,我就想,那是一種宣傳,是一種廣告牌分心效應。我認為,我是說,盡管你真的往遠了想,這還是一個很不錯的想法。但我不知道那是不是我們現(xiàn)在正看到的這樣。
Todd:Sure, so do you think it is a waste of money or do you think it helps science?
當然,那你認為它是在浪費錢還是在促進科學的發(fā)展?
Ebony:I think eventually it's a great thing, and it does help, and I think it's a wonderful thing to be paying attention to, but I don't know whether it's the right moment for it. But either way, they're doing it, so I think it would be really neat, I mean I've always wanted to say to my, you know, one day my kids, "Ok, let's go to vacation on the moon...I feel like going out to the suite hotel you know.Let's go look at the stars" you know a few meteors passing by, wouldn't that be neat..to say that and really be able to do that someday.
我想這最終是件好事,而且確實有所促進。我想那是一個值得關注的事,但我不知道現(xiàn)在是不是個合適的時機。但是無論如何,他們在做,所以我認為這確實了不起,我的意思是,你知道的,我一直都希望有一天我能對我的孩子說,“好,我們?nèi)ピ虑蚵眯邪?hellip;…你知道我喜歡去酒店套房。那我們就去看星星。”你知道的,當有一些流星經(jīng)過的時候,說某天真的可以這么做將是再好不過的了。
Todd:Gosh, it must be really, really beautiful on the moon. Well, actually, you are very young. I think 20! 20 years old?
天啊,月球上一定,一定很美。恩,事實上,你太年輕了,我想才20歲!20歲?
Ebony:Yes.
是的。
Todd:So, do you think that is going to be possible, that...
那么,你覺得那個會有可能嗎?
Ebony:Yeah! Yeah!
會,會的!
Todd:Really?
真的嗎?
Ebony:Since I was 10. Since I was 10 years old my father would always say to me, you know, he's about 62 right now, and so, he said, I've seen everybody go from cars to everything and all the advances in technology is so fast, he said, 'I can't imagine when your are my age what's it's going to be like for you at the rate technology is advancing.
自打我10歲。自打我10歲,我父親,你知道的,他現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)62歲了??偸菍ξ艺f,“我眼看著人們所用的交通工具在改變,從小汽車到其他的一切而且技術上的提高是很快的。”我真是想象不到,以這個速度發(fā)展,當你到我這個歲數(shù)的時候會變成什么樣。
Todd:Yeah!
是啊!
Ebony:So I thought, "Wow, that's really cool!" I'll be able to do that and I always did. I always thought that and so, in a way too I'm saying, "What took you so long guys?"
所以我想,“哇,這太酷了!“我能做,我總是那樣。我一直在考慮并以一種我總說的方式在考慮“各位,是什么讓你們花了這么長時間?”
Todd:Wow, so that's amazing. You could actually be going for vacation to the moon in forty years.
哇,所以說那很神奇。事實上,40年后你是能夠去月球度假的。
Ebony:Wouldn't that not be cool!
沒有比那更酷的了!
Todd:Yeah!
是的!
Ebony:Just sit there.
就坐那兒吧。
Todd:Or Mars.
或者去火星。
Ebony:Mars.
火星。
Todd:Yeah! Lots of rocks.
對!有很多巖石。
Ebony:The red planet. I don't know about mars. I think the moon sounds kind of cooler not as far.
紅色的星球。我太不清楚火星。我覺得月球聽起來有些酷還沒有那么遠。
Todd:Yeah!
對!
Ebony:It depends on what they do with travel.
那取決于旅游有什么用。
Todd:Yeah. You definitely would need around-trip ticket.
對啊。你一定會需要往返車票。
Ebony:OK, thanks a lot Ebony
好的,非常感謝。
either way 無論如何
