2 Danger incoming

Chapter Two DANGER INCOMING. With a cheerful beep, a sign lit up that said, "UNFASTEN SEAT BELTS NOW". Roshni and Ollie glanced at each other and quickly undid their buckles. "Might as well have a look around," Roshni suggested. "Whoa!" Ollie cried. "What's going on? I'm flying!"

第二章危险来临。 随着欢快的哔哔声,一个告示牌亮了起来,上面写着:“马上解开安全带”。 罗什尼和奥利互相看了一眼,迅速解开了扣环。 “还是四处看看吧,”Roshni建议道。 “哇!”奥利哭了。“发生了什么事?” 我飞起来了!”

Sure enough, he was gently drifting up into the air. His unfastened seat belt rippled below him like a flag in the wind. Roshni giggled. "You're not flying. You're floating!" She pushed down with her hands, and immediately rose upward. Her hair wafted out around her as if she were underwater. It felt pretty strange, but very fun, too. Ollie chuckled as he waved his arms and legs. "This is awesome!" "It's because there's hardly any gravity up here," Roshni explained. "Back on Earth, the gravity is strong and pulls everything down.

果然,他轻轻地飘向空中。 他没有系紧的安全带在他身下荡漾,就像风中飘扬的旗帜。 Roshni咯咯笑了。“你不是在飞。 你漂浮!”她用手往下推,又立刻站了起来。 她的头发飘散在她周围,仿佛她在水下。 感觉很奇怪,但也很有趣。 奥利一边笑一边挥舞着胳膊和腿。 “这太棒了!”“这是因为这里几乎没有重力,”罗什尼解释说。 “在地球上,引力很强,把所有东西都往下拉。

That's why we don't float away." "This is much more fun," said Ollie. "I'm going to do a cartwheel." He sent himself spinning across the cabin. Roshni went one better, and launched into a triple forward somersault. "Look out!" Ollie warned as Roshni tumbled past him. CRASH! She bumped into the side of the cabin and knocked a coil of electrical cable off the wall. But thanks to the special padding all around the inside of the Beagle, it didn't hurt at all. They could zoom around as much as they liked! They floated around for a while, getting used to the strange weightless feeling. The Beagle helpfully lit up some grab handles that they could hold on to.

这就是为什么我们不会漂走。” “这更有趣,”奥利说。 “我要做侧手翻。” 他让自己旋转着穿过小木屋。 罗什尼又向前翻了一个筋斗,向前翻了三个筋斗。 “当心!”当Roshni从他身边滚过时,Ollie警告道。 崩溃!她撞到了小屋的侧面,把墙上的一圈电缆碰掉了。 但多亏了小猎犬内部的特殊填充物,它一点也不疼。 他们可以随心所欲地放大!他们漂浮了一会儿,慢慢习惯了这种奇怪的失重感。 小猎犬帮着点亮了一些他们可以抓住的把手。

"So where are we?" Ollie wondered. "Space!" "Sure, but where in space? Mars? Venus? The moon?" "Let's find out." Roshni reached for a grab handle and pulled herself toward the window. She gasped. Looming up ahead was a gigantic planet with orange stripes and faint rings. "Jupiter!" she said.

“我们现在在哪儿?”奥利很好奇。 “空间!”“当然,但是在太空的什么地方?” 火星?金星吗?月亮?”“我们来看看。” Roshni伸手去抓把手,把自己拉向窗户。 她喘着气。前方隐约出现了一颗巨大的行星,上面有橙色的条纹和微弱的光环。 “朱庇特!”

When Roshni had seen the planet through her telescope, it had seemed no bigger than her thumbnail. Now it was so big she couldn't even see all of it. Ollie whistled. "Now that's a big planet. I bet you could fit Earth inside there at least ten times." "Try one thousand three hundred times," Roshni said in awe. "It's the biggest planet in the solar system." She grabbed Ollie's arm. "And look! There's the Great Red Spot!" From this close, Roshni could make out the enormous storm easily. This definitely makes up for not seeing it earlier, she thought. "Wow!" said Ollie. "It's all swirly, like a whirlpool."

当Roshni通过望远镜看到这颗行星时,它似乎没有她的拇指指甲大。 现在它是如此之大,她甚至不能看到它的全部。 奥利吹口哨。“这是一个很大的星球。 我敢打赌,你至少可以把地球装进去十次。” “试一千三百次,”罗什尼敬畏地说。 “它是太阳系中最大的行星。” 她抓住奥利的胳膊。“看!那就是大红斑!”从这么近的距离,罗什尼可以很容易地辨认出这场巨大的风暴。 这绝对弥补了没有早点看到它的遗憾,她想。 “哇!”奥利说。“到处都是漩涡,就像漩涡一样。”

There were smaller spots spinning across Jupiter, too. Roshni pointed them out to Ollie. "They're all storms on Jupiter's surface, like we have on Earth," she explained. "The Great Red Spot's a storm as well. It's been going on for hundreds of years." She pointed to a tiny shining object. "Jupiter's got moons like we have, too." Ollie's eyebrows shot up. "Moons? You mean, more than one?" Roshni grinned and showed him more little objects. "That's a moon. And so's that, and that." "Seriously?" Ollie asked. "How many moons does Jupiter have?" "Oh, more than seventy," Roshni said casually. Ollie stared at her. "Seventy?"

木星上也有一些较小的黑子在旋转。 Roshni指给Ollie看。 “它们都是木星表面的风暴,就像地球上的风暴一样,”她解释说。 “大红斑也是一场风暴。 这种情况已经持续了数百年。” 她指着一个闪闪发光的小东西。 “木星也有像我们一样的卫星。” 奥利的眉毛一下子竖了起来。“卫星? 你是说,不止一个?”Roshni咧嘴一笑,给他看了更多的小物件。 “那是月亮。这也是,这也是。” “严重吗?”奥利问道。“木星有多少颗卫星?”“哦,超过70个。”罗什尼漫不经心地说。 奥利盯着她。“七十年?”
