人造卫星

Since 1993, data from satellite altimeters, used to measure sea level, have shown that the worlds oceans have risen by 3.2 centimeters, or 1.26 inches, per decade (plus or minus 0.4 cm).Although 3.2 cm may appear to be only a slight increase, it is twice as large as sea level rise in the last century.

自从1993年以来，人造卫星测高计（常常被用来测量海平面高度）提供的数据就显示，每10年内，世界上各海洋都升高了大约3.2厘米或是1.26英寸（含正负0.4厘米）；虽然区区3.2厘米看起来只是轻微的升高，但这几乎是上个世纪海平面升高的两倍。

The idea was two decades ahead of its time, and helped to attach his name to the geostationary orbit above the equator. In 1962, at the chilliest part of the cold war and just after the launch of Sputnik had heralded the space age, he discussed in "Profiles of the Future" the implications of transatlantic satellite radio and television broadcasts, with information raining down on previously isolated parts of the world.

他在20年前就萌发了这个想法，也是这个想法让他把名字贴到了围绕赤道的地球同步轨道上。1962年，也就是爆发冷战最严重的那一年，继Sputnik 人造卫星的成功发送开启了太空世纪后不久，他在《未来的轮廓》一书中探讨了卫星广播和电视广播横渡大西洋的应用，他认为它们将使信息降落到原先与世隔绝的那些地方。

这一设想足足超前了20年，环赤道同步静止轨道也因此以他的名字命名。1962年，冷战正酣，苏联的人造卫星发射揭开了空间时代的序幕，克拉克写下了《未来掠影》一文，描述了他用越洋卫星广播甚至电视节目将全世界的各个角落连结成一体的设想。

这个想法领先于那个时代20年，环赤道同步静止轨道也因此以他的名字命名。1962年，冷战时期，苏联的人造卫星发射揭开了空间时代的序幕，他在上畅谈跨越大西洋卫星电视广播的想法，将信息撒播向早前那些各自孤立的世界。

"You can see airplane contrails, and occasionally at the end of an airplane contrail, you will see a glint of sunlight off the airplane," Lu says. And very occasionally, you do see other satellites go by.

&你可以看到飞机尾迹，偶尔在尾迹的一端你可以看到闪亮的飞机&LU说，更偶然的情况下，你可以看到飞经的其他人造卫星。

UPDATE: The European satellite GIOVE-A launched successfully from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 05:19 GMT on Wednesday 28 December.

更新消息：欧洲的人造卫星 GIOVE-一在十二月 28 日星期三在格林威治标准时间 05：19 从 Baikonur 人造宇宙站发射基地成功的发射。

Baikonur, Kazakhstan, May 25, 2009--Onlookers gather at the Baikonu Cosmodrome on Monday to see a Russian-built Soyuz rocket that would carry new crew members to join the four already aboard the orbiting International Space Station.

2009年5月25日，哈萨克斯坦，拜科努尔---星期一，旁观者聚集在拜科努尔人造卫星发射基地观看俄制&联盟&火箭，该火箭将把新的机组人员送入国际空间站加入应经在上面的四名宇航员中。

The Terra and Aqua satellites are flagships of a different fleet, this one in Earth orbit, designed to help us understand how our home world is changing.

这土和水人造卫星是不同船队的旗舰，这些在地球上的一条轨道，计划去帮助我们理解我们的家地球正如何在改变。

The Ground Track menu command can be used to view the ground track of any satellite.

人造卫星的轨道越高，它与地面轨迹之间的距离就越远。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
