月亮

It was an old and ragged moon.

它是一个古老而凹凸不平的月亮。

Looking at the moon like a huge galactic disc hanging on the sky and being bathe in soft and subtle moonlight, l was reminded of a verse "raise glass to invite moon" then a spell of heroic spirit welled up in my heart .

望着挂在天空那犹如一颗巨大银盘的月亮，沐浴在那股淡而柔和的月光下，让我想起了"举杯邀明月"这首诗句，于是一股豪迈之情油然而生，它漫漫滋生，漫漫生长，漫漫曼延，最终充斥了我全身。

Now is the pleasant time, The cool, the silent, save where silence yields To the night-warbling Bird, that now awake [ 40 ] Tunes sweetest his love-labor'd song; now reignes Full Orb'd the Moon, and with more pleasing light Shadowie sets off the face of things; in vain, If none regard; Heav'n wakes with all his eyes, Whom to behold but thee, Natures desire, [ 45 ] In whose sight all things joy, with ravishment Attracted by thy beauty still to gaze.

现在月亮正圆，领导着群伦，用更加欢欣的幽光点缀着万物的脸，要是没有人去欣赏，就辜负了这番美景。整个天体清醒着，睁开所有的眼睛。一切有情的都在看你，你的美迷住了他们，他们永远用羡慕的眼光盯着你。' 我像是听了你的召唤，就起身了，但没有看见你，便迈步出去找你；我似乎单独走过几条道路，忽然走到了被禁食的知识树旁边。

Partly it has great practical value – you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you – daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

一方面是由于它有着非常实际的使用价值——当你跳跃着穿越Jaglan Beta的冰冷的月亮中间时，可以把毛巾裹在身上用来取暖；在Santraginus V的灿烂的大理石沙子的海滩，你也可以躺在毛巾上，呼吸浓烈醉人的海洋蒸汽；也可以在Kakrafoon的沙漠世界里，在红色的恒星照耀下，盖着毛巾睡觉；用它做帆，在缓慢宽阔的Moth河上泛舟；在近身搏斗中打湿了做武器；包住脑袋来防止毒气侵袭或者避开Traal的贪婪虫鸣兽的喋喋不休（一种发自内心的愚蠢的动物，它总是认为如果你看不到它，它也就看不到你——蠢得像灌木，却很贪婪）；可以在紧急情况下挥动毛巾表示求救信号；当然，也可以用来擦干身体——如果它看起来还是足够干净的话。

Coincidentally that is exactly where this Lotus is going on something called the Moon Regan Trans Antarctic Expedition.

巧合的是正是这荷花是对一些所谓的月亮里根横贯南极考察。

Planners are using the rocks to study the pernicious effects of regolith on machinery and astronaut health.

规划者正在用这些岩石研究月亮土对机器和宇航员健康的有害影响。

Chang'e-I is expected to fulfil four scientific objectives, including a three-dimensional survey of the Moon's surface, analysis of the abundance and distribution of elements on lunar surface, an investigation of the characteristics of lunar regolith and the powdery soil layer on the surface, and an exploration of the circumstance between the earth and the moon.

嫦娥预计完成四大科学目标，其中包括一个三维的调查研究月球的表面，并分析了丰度和元素分布对月球表面进行，调查结果的特点，月球regolith和粉状土壤层对地表，并探索的情况下，与地球和月亮。

That's because Regulus routinely pairs up with the moon and planets on the dome of night.

这是因为它经常和月亮以及夜晚苍穹上的其它行星结成一对。

In the past couple of years, Regulus has served as a fixed reference for watching the motions of the moon and Saturn.

在过去的几年里，它经常被作为观察月亮和土星运动的固定参考。

Ex. 2. Direct Mars in conjunction with Regulus, the Moon in conjunction with Cupido, Sun in 1st house

例二：推进火星与雷古拉斯合相，月亮与丘比特合相，太阳落在第一宫

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
