宇宙和雨水里 我们相遇的英文

我们相遇在那个雨季

we met in that rainy season

如果那场雨不是神给我们的天堂

if that rain is not the heaven given by God

那为什么我们彼此都学会了爱

why we learned how to love

当我们对宇宙的时候，我们不仅指地球，太阳，月亮和星星，而且所有的天体距离太远了，看到的。

在过去50年来，科学家已经能够“看到”越走越远天空。他们发现了许多“新”星。这些明星是不是新的反弹。他们已经有几百万年。

在所有的星星太阳到地球最近的。其他数百万颗，甚至更大，亮度比太阳。他们看起来小，只是因为他们是非常远。您无法看到他们在白天。但是如果你在晚上，你就可以看到成千上万。

地球是太阳系的行星之一，月球是我们的卫星。这是我们最近的空间邻居，有人到过它了。从来没有人走过比月球更远，但没有人坐飞船到达其他星球。

许多国家都派出了人造卫星绕地球旋转。由于他们的帮助，人们做了许多科学领域的研究。

我国有时使用人造地球卫星发送和接收电视节目。这已经帮助中国和其他国家的人民更好地相互理解。

"Universe"和"Cosmos"都是英语中表达宇宙的词汇，但它们在用法上有些许区别。

"Universe"是指包含所有物质、能量、时空和规律的总体，它是一个广泛的概念，包括我们所知道的一切物质、星系、太阳系、行星、恒星、黑洞、暗物质、暗能量等等。"Universe"这个词强调的是宇宙的整体性和包容性，是一个相对广泛的概念。

"Cosmos"在一些语境下与"Universe"基本相同，指的是整个宇宙的总体。但它通常更侧重于描述宇宙的美学和哲学特性，如宇宙的秩序、和谐和对人类的启示等。此外，"Cosmos"也可以指空间和时间的序列，包括宇宙的演化、起源和结构等方面。

因此，"Universe"和"Cosmos"在表达宇宙这个概念时略有不同的侧重点。"Universe"更强调的是宇宙的整体性和包容性，而"Cosmos"更侧重于描述宇宙的美学和哲学特性，以及宇宙的演化、起源和结构等方面。

1 In 1961, scientists set up gigantic, sensitive apparatus to collect radio waves from the far reaches of space, hoping to discover in them some mathematical pattern indicating that the waves were sent out by other intelligent beings The first attempt failed: but someday the experiment may succeed

What reason is there to think that we may actually detect intelligent life in outer space To begin with, modern theories of the development of stars suggest that almost every star has some sort of family of planets So any star like our wan sun (and there are billions of such stars in the universe) is likely to have a planet situated at such a distance that it would receive about the same amount of radiation as the earth

Furthermore, such a planet would probably have the same general composition as our own; so, allowing a billion years or two — or three — there would be a very good chance for life to develop, if current theories of the origin of life are correct

But intelligent life Life that has reached the stage of being able to sent radio waves out into space in a deliberate pattern Our own planet may have been in existence for five billion years and may have had life on it for two billion, but it is only in the last fifty years that intelligent life capable of sending radio waves into space has lived on earth From this it might seem that even if there were no technical problems involved, the chance of receiving signals from any particular earth-type planet would be extremely small

This does not mean that intelligent life at our level does not exist somewhere There is such an unimaginable number of stars that, even at such miserable odds, it seems certain that there are million of intelligent life forms scattered through space The only trouble is, none may be within hailing distance of us Perhaps none ever will be; perhaps the appalling distances that separate us from our fellow denizens of this universe will forever remain too great to be conquered And yet it is conceivable that someday we may come across one of them or, frighteningly, one of them may come across us What would they be like, these extraterrestrial creatures

2 Tiny Tonga Launches Space Tourism Plan

The tiny poverty-stricken South Pacific state f Tonga has always had serious problems raising money, and so it has always been entrepreneurial It his sold Tongan passports to Hong Kong businessmen; it sold possible satellite broadcasting locations in space; it even officially changed to a different time zone to be the first country to welcome the new millennium1

Now Tonga’s latest money-making venture is a plan to become the world center of space tourism The Tonga government has made an agreement with a US company to allow it to use on of its 170 islands to launch rockets that will take tourists on week-long trips into space at a cost of US$2 million each2

For this price, space tourists receive 60 days’ training in a “resort setting”, followed by the holiday of a lifetime orbiting the Earth3 Two astronaut pilots and four astronaut tourists will make the trip However, skeptics say that these budgets are inadequate Although they predict that space tourism will eventually bring an income of US$10-20 billion a year, they calculate that the budget of $8 million per trip will not be enough to pay for the required technology

Comparison with the current space tourism programme suggests this maths may be accurate To ride the Russian Soyuz (the only tourist ride currently available) costs more than US$20 million per person However, other people, including one important ex-cosmonaut4, criticize the Russian government for raising money in this way, even though it uses the money for the space quota of space missions without achieving anything He also believes that these inexperienced tourists would e a danger in a difficult or life-threatening crisis in space5

3 Astronomy (天文学) is the oldest science known to manThousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about the heavensBut man was limited (限制) by six planets that he could see with his eyes alone

The Greeks (希腊人) studied astronomy over 2,000 years agoThey could see the size, color, and brightness of a starThey could see its place in the skyThey watched the stars move as the seasons changedBut the Greeks had no tools to help themselves study the heavens

Each new tool added to the field of astronomy helped man reach out into space Until there were telescopes (望远镜), man knew a little about the moonHe did not know that the planet called Saturn (土星) had rings around itHis sight was so limited that he could not see all the planetsIn the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planetsPluto (冥王星), the last of nine planets to be discovered, was not seen until 1930

Before the spectroscope (分光镜), man did not know what kind of gases was in the sun or other starsWithout the radiotelescope (射电望远镜), we did not know that radio noises came from far in space

Today, astronomy is a growing scienceWe have learned more in the last fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy
