木星

The moons of Jupiter were produced by Galileo's spy-glass

把伽利略观察到的木星卫星说成是伽利略用他的小望远镜变出来的人们

"We can perhaps forgive those who said the moons of Jupiter were produced by Galileo's spy-glass if we recall that in his day, as for centuries before, curved glass was the popular contrivance for producing not truth but illusion, untruth; and if a single curved glass would distort nature, how much more would a pair of them?"

如果我们回忆一下，Galileo时代如同它的几个世纪以前一样，曲面镜不是用来产生真像而是产生幻影或假象的常用器械，那么，对于那些把木星的卫星说成是用Galileo小望远镜产生出来的人们，我们或许会予以原谅的，如果一面曲面镜会歪曲大自然，那么一对曲面镜将会造成多大的歪曲呢？

Four hundred years ago, Galileo raised his homemade spyglass to the sky and spotted four of Jupiter's moons, revealing that other planets could have their own lunar companions.

400年前，伽利略将他自制的小望远镜对准星空，发现了木星的四颗卫星，我们这才知道其他行星也有自己的卫星。

Point a telescope in that direction; a small one will do. Remember, even the cheapest department-store telescope is better than Galileo's 400 year-old spyglass.

将望远镜指向木星方向，一个小望远镜就行（记住，即使商场里销售的最廉价的望远镜也胜于400年前加利略用过的）。

如果我们回想一下伽利略之前几个世纪期间，曲面镜一直是一种用于产生幻影而不是产生真象的把戏装置，那么我们就会原谅那些当时把伽利略观察到的木星卫生说成是伽利

But a handful of theorists already had a better explanation at hand. The giant planets could have formed in a much more sensible location, like Jupiter did, and then migrated inward, establishing a stable orbit there.

但很多理论天文学家对这种现象已经有了更好的解释：巨大的行星可以在更合理的位置先形成，就像木星那样，然后再向内迁移，最后定位于一个稳定的轨道。

Considering the many bright stars, nebulae, and star clusters in the region more familiar to skygazers, HD 189733 may not seem to be remarkable, but it is known to have at least one hot, jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close, with an impressively short period of 2.2 days.

在这个区域内，天空观测者们更为熟悉许多明亮的恒星，星云和星团，而HD189733可能不是那么显著，但是至少它是一颗炽热，木星大小的行星，轨道非常小，一个周期只需要2.2天时间。

Polyphemis's size is as twice as Jupiter, whose name comes from the Cyclops in Greek mythology, because above it, is Great Red Spot made by storm cloud, just like an eye glaring at its satellite, Pandora.

Polyphemis的个头是木星的两倍，它的名字来自希腊神话里的独眼巨人，因为它上面也有一个风暴云构成的大红斑，就像一只眼睛怒视着它的卫星潘多拉一样。

The four moons will appear in the eyepiece as a line of dim stars straddling the giant planet.

在望远镜的目镜中，那4颗卫星看起来是排成一线的暗淡星星，分列在巨大的木星的两侧。

The labia have now been sutured together almost completely.The drains and the Foley catheter come out at the top.

此刻阴唇已经几乎完全的缝在一起了，排除多余淤血体液的管子和Foley导管从顶端冒出来。

To get the business done, I suggest we split the difference in price.

为了做成这笔生意，我建议我们在价格上大家各让一半。
