搬往火星

Some people believe that humans could live on the planeClpizcmtJ Mars by the year 2100.Our own planet,the Earth，is becoming more and more crowded and polluled because of the rapid incrcase in population.It is hoped that people could start ali cwe'r glain and build a better world on Mars．Here is what life there could be like.

一些人认为，到2100年止人类能够生活在火星上（planet：行星）。因为飞速增长的人口，我们自己的行星——地球正变得越来越拥挤，污染越来越严重。人们有望能够在火星上重新开始，建设一个更好的世界。这里描述的是火星上的生活可能是什么样子。

At present，our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passcngersto Mars-it would take months.With the development of technology,by the year 2100,thejourney might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft speed of. that travel at i_he speecl of light!However，the spacecraft would travel so fast that the journey to Mars might be quite Uncomtotable.Many people would feel il1．

目前，我们的宇宙飞船太慢了，无法运送大批的乘客去火星——因为要花几个月的时间。随着科技的发展，到2100年，乘坐以光速(at the一：以……的速度)飞行的宇宙飞招，行程或许只要大约20分钟！然而，宇宙飞船旅行如此之快，以至于火星的旅程可能相当不舒服。很多人会觉得不适。

Humans cannot survive without water，oxygen or food．So far，nobody knows whether there would be enough water or oxygen on Mars for people there.Moreover，scientists are not sure whether plants could grow on Mars.Food would most probably be in the form of pills and would not be so tasry.

没有水、氧气和食物，人类无法生存。到目前为止，没有人知道火星上是否会有足够的水或氧气供人们使用。此外，科学家还不确定植物是否能在火星上生长。食物很可能会以药片的形式存在，而且味道没那么可口（tasty：味道好的）。

Gravity could be another problem.The gravity on Mars is only about three-eighths—of that on the Earth. People would have to wear boots that are specialLy designed to prevent themselves fromfloating off into space.

重力可能是另一个问题。火星土的重力大约只有地球上的八分之三。人们将不得不穿着专门设计的靴子，以防止自己漂浮到太空中。

Compared,with life on the Earth，life on Mars would be better地some ways.People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also，robots would do most of their work so that they could have more time to relax.

与地球上的生活相比，火星上的生活在一些方面要好些。人们将会有更多的空间。他们可能住在具有宽敞舒服房间的房子里。同时，机器人做大部分的工作，这样他们可以有更多的时间来放松。

There would probably be no schools on Mars. Every student would have a computer at home connected to an interplanetary nerxvorik. They would study at online schools with “e-teachers".

欠星上可能没有学校。每个学生家里都有一台电脑与星际网络连接。他们可能通过“网络老师”在网上学校学习。

Life on Mars would be interestinlg as well as chal ienging．

火星上的生活，不仅有挑战性，还很有趣。
