VOA慢速英语:A Beautiful Planet in IMAX 3D(翻译)

Astronauts onboard the International Space Station have recorded a new IMAX 3D film, “A Beautiful Planet.” Just as the name says, it shows the great beauty of the planet we all live on – Earth.
驻扎在国际空间站的宇航员们录制了一部新的三维巨型屏幕电影《美丽星球》。正如片名所说的那样，该片展示了我们居住的这个星球——地球的美丽之处。

One of the most important things of all is being able to see from day to day what we downhere on the ground can’t see so clearly; what is happening to our Earth and how we are changing it.
“最重要的一点是，我们能够看到在地面上看不清的东西；能看到地球上发生了什么，以及我们是怎样改变它的。”

Director Toni Meyers trained the astronauts how to use the IMAX 3D cameras. She spoke to VOA. Meyers said, “They are wonderful to train because, of course they are the smartest people in the world. That’s why they’re astronauts. They are really good learners.”
导演托妮·梅耶斯训练宇航员们如何使用三维宽银幕摄影机。她接受了“美国之声”的采访。梅耶斯说，“训练他们的感受是非常好的，当然因为他们是世界上最聪明的人。所以他们才能成为宇航员。他们学起东西来很快的。”

Director Meyers also reported what she learned while working on the film. She said Earth is gentle and easy to damage.
梅耶斯导演也谈了她拍这部电影的心得。她说地球很脆弱，一不小心就会损坏。

In her words, “The thin line of the atmosphere that’s just above the earth is all there is between us and the cold, black, and harsh vacuum of space. And even though we’ve discovered other planets around the stars, they are too far away for our present technology to take us there. So, this planet is all we have and we need to take care of it.”
用她的话说，“薄薄的大气层是我们与冰冷、黑暗又严酷的宇宙真空之间的唯一屏障。就算我们已经发现了其他行星，以我们现在的技术，要去那些行星也太远了。所以，这颗星球是我们唯一拥有的家园了，我们要好好保护它。”

The film shows the effects of fossil fuel gas releases and other pollution, especially in industrialized nations. But there is good news. The film also shows a healthy Chesapeake Bay in North America. It was once extremely polluted. But an activist campaign came to the rescue. Toni Meyers says this proves the environment can get healthy when people work together and take action.
电影展示了化石燃料气体排放的后果以及其他污染，尤其是在工业化国家。但是也有好消息。电影也展示了干净的北美切萨皮克海湾。此地曾经被严重污染。但是活动家组织的活动拯救了这里。托妮·梅耶尔说这证明了如果人类团结一致采取行动的话，污染是可以治理的。

Almost 300 degrees on the sun side of the space station, you get in the shade, it’s -275 degrees. You feel that inside the suit.
“空间站向阳面足有大约300度，背阴面却有零下275度。你穿上制服感受一下。”
