TRAVELING IN GALACTIC STYLE WITH PROFESSOR VEXINGTON VILEBRAIN

和维克斯顿·维布林教授一起以银河的方式旅行

ARE YOU SITTING DOWN? I'M ABOUT TO BLOW YOUR MIND. ARE YOU READY? HERE GOES... SPACE IS BIG. WAIT, THAT DIDN'T DO IT? Maybe you didn't hear me properly.

你坐下了吗？我要让你大吃一惊。 你准备好了吗？这里是…… 太空很大。等等，那没用吗？ 也许你没听清楚。

SPACE. IS. BIIIIG. Okay, this is clearly not doing it. The problem is our tiny human brains just can't understand how stupidly big space really is. We get bored walking to school, for goodness' sake. THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO EXPLAIN HOW BIG SPACE REALLY IS: to fly across the Galaxy in a spaceship. What's that? Okay, I'm being told the spaceship that? repairs. Let's go with the SECOND-best way, shall we? We'll make a scale drawing of our Solar System and go from there.

空间。是多少。BIIIIG。好吧，这显然不合适。 问题是我们小小的人类大脑无法理解太空到底有多大。 看在上帝的份上，我们走路上学都觉得无聊。 只有一种方法可以解释宇宙到底有多大：乘坐宇宙飞船穿越银河系。 那是什么?好吧，我是被飞船告知的？ 维修。我们采用第二种方法，好吗？ 我们将绘制太阳系的比例图，然后从这里开始。

MERCURY! VENUS! EARTH! MARS! JUPITER! SATURN!

水银!金星!地球!火星!木星!土星!

URANUS (TEE HEE!) NEPTUNE!

天王星（嘻嘻！）海王星!
