in science fiction,space is often described as a silent,empty place but things are different.In reality,all of the equipment used to keep a space station functioning can be so noisy that the astronauts working there cannot communicate with one another easily so they have to shout.the high levels of sound may affect their work,and can sometimes even mean that they are unable to sleep.in addition,they must face other problems in space.which threatens astronauts in space is that plenty of rubbish left by former astronauts still remains in orbit around the earth.most of them are smallr than a tennis ball,but they still threaten the safety of exploring in space.even a small piece of metal could cause a terrible disaster if it hit a manned spacecraft.although generally astronauts do make an effort to bring mosr of their rubbish home,they donot always manage it.and they donot just leave their rubbish floating in space either.there is even a broken camera among the litter left behind on the moon
在科幻小说中，空间通常被描述为一个沉默而空虚的地方，但事物却是不同的。实际上，用于保持空间站运转的所有设备都非常嘈杂，以至于在那里工作的宇航员不能轻易地相互沟通，所以他们不得不大声疾呼。高水平的声音可能会影响他们的工作，甚至有时甚至意味着他们无法入睡。此外，他们还必须面对太空中的其他问题。这对太空宇航员造成威胁的原因是前者留下的大量垃圾宇航员仍然留在地球轨道上，他们中的大多数人都比网球小，但他们仍然威胁到在太空探索的安全。即使一小块金属撞击载人飞船，也会造成可怕的灾难。宇航员的确努力把他们的垃圾带回家，他们并不总是处理垃圾，他们也不愿意把垃圾留在太空中漂浮在太空中。上

Answer 2

翻译如下：
在科幻小说中，太空通常被描述成一个静谧的、空旷的地方，但是事实并非如此。实际上，维持太空飞船运转的设备会发出巨大的噪音，在太空工作的宇航员们彼此之间的沟通并不容易，他们不得不大叫着说话。高水平的声音将影响宇航员的工作，有时宇航员们甚至无法入睡。此外，宇航员也要面对其他的太空问题。以前的宇航员在绕地球的轨道上遗留了大量垃圾，这会对现任宇航员造成威胁。大部分的太空垃圾比网球还要小，但是仍然会威胁着探索太空的安全。即使一小片金属撞击了载人飞船，也将造成巨大的灾难。尽管大部分的宇航员会尽力将垃圾带回，但是通常无法做到。并且他们不仅把留在太空中漂浮，在月球上留下的垃圾中甚至还有一个破相机。

追问

哇你自己翻译的吗

追答

是的呢，你可以在翻译的时候先把每句话的意思弄明白，然后再尽量翻译的通顺生动。

追问

那这里有一个语法点我不懂

里面那个used to，为什么要用used呢

老师要我们做解释

如果翻译成“过去常”，这样又不对

如果说是被动语态，又没有be动词

追答

这里的used可以理解成动词的过去分词做后置定语，用来修饰前面的equipment
通常的表现形式：名词+ v-ed，动词的过去分词做后置定语一般表示被动或者已将发生的工作，这里就表示的是被动——被用来维持空间站运转的设备
例子：A girl called lily 一个被叫做lily的女孩 （表示被动）
A machine invented by the scientists 被科学家发明的一个机器（表示被动）
