Question

求翻译高手翻译以下一段文字。

他长期观察日月和行星的运行规律，知道月亮本身不发光，月光只是月球反射了太阳光。他还正确地解释了“冬天日短夜长，夏天日长夜短”的道理。张衡在他写的书中，提出了“空间和时间都是无限的”的理论。他画出了中国第一张完备的星图，记录了2500颗恒星，还记录了它们的亮度和出没时间。他的观测，与我们今天在同一个地点看到的星空相近。
公元117年，张衡创造了一台浑天仪。这是一个大铜球，靠水力来转动。铜球转动的速度恰好和地球自转的速度相等。看着浑天仪，就知道哪颗星正在升起，哪颗星正在落下。这是世界上第一台用水力转动的天文仪器。
张衡还创造了世界上第一台观测气象的仪器—候风仪。他还制作了已经失传的指南车。这种车不管怎样转弯、行驶，车上的木制小人总是把手臂指向南方。
张衡最著名的发明创造是制作了世界上第一台地动仪。地动仪上有八条龙，对着八个方向。龙嘴是活的，每条龙的嘴都有一颗铜球。有一天，正对西方的龙嘴突然张开，铜球落了下来。张衡判断洛阳的西面发生了地震。几天以后，果然得到报告，那一天那里发生了地震。
张衡在公元139年逝世。

手工翻译，谬误难免。
题主给的分太少了，这样大家不会感兴趣的。虽然我感兴趣。
Zhanghengobserved the moving law of the sun, the moon, and such other planets, through which he found that instead of shining by itself the moon just reflected the light of
the sun. He also illuminated the reason that “the day is longer than the night
in winter, the night is longer than the day in summer”. In his book, Zhangheng
brought the theory that “time and space are infinite”. He drew the first
complete star chart, which recorded two thousand and five hundred stars and
their degrees of illumination and the time they rose and fell. His observation
is similar with the celestial space we watch today in the same place.

In BC117, Zhangheng built a armillary. It was a big ball made of copper, which
depended on the water to spin. The spinning speed was equal to the speed of axial
rotation of earth. We can know which star is rising or falling through the
observation of the armillary. This is the first astronomical water-motion-dependent
instrument in the world。

Still, Zhangheng created the first
instrument to observe the climate in the world—Wind-sensitive. He also built
the vehicle pointing to the south which had been long lost in the history. The vehicle
owned a wooden human-shaped puppet whose arm would point to the south
invariably with the vehicle turning and going in any directions.
The most famous creation of Zhangheng is the first seismograph in the world. There are
eight dragons which points to eight directions. The mouths of the dragons is
flexible, in each mouth a copper ball is put. Some day, the mouth pointing to
the south opened up suddenly, the copper ball fell down. Judging from that
Zhangheng reasoned an earthquake erupted in the western part of Luoyang. Some days later
the earthquake was reported from there.

Zhanghengpassed away in BC139.

我自己也翻译好了。请允许我提出你翻译中的不足。第一，公元??年，应该是A.D.，公元前才是B.C.。第二，候风仪不是Wind-sensitive，事实上有专门的术语：anemograph. 除了这两点小错误，文章整体翻译得还是不错的，谢谢你的回答。

嗯，错误都指出的很对。A.D.那个纯粹是脑子抽了；候风仪是我没有查到，按自己理解翻译的，也显然不对。也谢谢你。

He long-term observation sun and moon and planets moving law, knowing that the moon has no light of its own, the moon is the moon reflects the sun's light. He explained the " winter days are short and the nights are long, the summer day short night ". Zhang Heng in the book he wrote, put forward " time and space is infinite " theory. He made China's first complete star chart, records of 2500 stars, they also recorded the brightness and setting time. His observation, and today we in the same place to see the sky near. In the year 117, Zhang Heng created an armillary sphere. This is a big ball, by a head of water to turn. Copper ball rotation speed is equal to the rate and the rotation of the earth. At the armillary sphere, to know which star is rising, which star is falling. This is the first in the world of hydraulic rotating astronomical instruments. Zhang Heng also created the world's first observations of meteorological instruments - the wind instrument. He also produced has lost car guide. This kind of car anyway turning, driving, car wooden villain always put his arm pointing to the south. Zhang Heng's most famous creation is to create the world's first seismograph. Seismograph with eight dragons, facing the eight directions. The mouth is alive, each dragon mouth has a copper ball. One day, on the west mouth opened suddenly, copper ball fell. Zhang Heng judged that there was an earthquake west of Luoyang. A few days later, it was reported, that day there were earthquakes. Zhang Heng died in 139 a.d..

For a long time he observed the laws of the movement of the moon and the sun.He knew that the moon doesn't in itself shine but only reflects the sun.He explained the phenomenon "longer nights and shorter days in the winter,longer days and shorter nights in the summer."In his works,Zhang Heng advanced the theory that "space and time are both limitless."he made China's first complete star chart which recorded 2,500fixed stars,their brightness and their time of appearance and disappearance.His observations were quite similar to the observations made today at the same place.
In A.D.117Zhang Heng created an armillary sphere which was a rotating copper ball driven by water power.The rotation speed was the same as the earth's.By watching the armillary sphere,one could find out which star was rising and which star was falling.This was the first water-powered astronomical instrument in the world.
Zhang Heng also created the world's first meteorological instrument--anemograph.He made a pointing-south cart with a wooden figure always pointing southward no matter what direction the cart was moving in.The cart has since been lost.
The most famous creation of Zhang Heng is the first seismograph in the world.This was made of eight dragons pointing in eight directions.Whose mouths opened and closed and carried a copper ball.One day the mouth of the dragon facing due west suddenly opened and the copper ball fell out.Zhang Heng assessed that there was an earthquake west of Luoyang.A few days later,it was reported that Luoyang had had an earthquake that day.
Zhang Heng died in A.D.139.
