it is a report about the new planet which holds possibility for life.
这是一篇关于发现了一颗有生命可能性的星球的报告。
it shows that european astronomers have discovered a new planet, they name it gliese 581 c.
说欧洲天文学家们发现了一颗新的星球，代号为“gliese 581c”。
it is about 20.5 light years from our earth. they estimated the planet's average temperature at between 0 and 40 degrees centigrade. it is orbiting the red dwarf star, gliese 581.
它距地球约20.5光年。他们估计它的平均温度约在0℃～40℃之间。它围绕着红矮星gliese 581运行。
most important of all, it’s an earth-like planet. there might be mountin, sea and liquid water.

最重要的是，这颗星球和地球非常相似，它可能有山峦，有海洋，还有液态水。
so the astronomers believe that it is potentially habitable.
所以科学家们相信它能支持生命的存在。
however, gliese 581 c might be "tidally locked" to it’s sun-the dwarf star the way our moon is to the earth.
然而，就像月球一样，它只会公转，不会自转。
it means that it must always show its same face to its sun, and that while one side would be too fiercely hot to support life, the other side would be too cold.
这就意味着它面对红矮星的一面会太热不适合生命体而背对红矮星的一面则会很寒冷。
this report makes me to realize that how valuable our earth is.
这使我认识到我们地球有多么珍贵!
everyday, we can see sunrise and sunset.
我们每天都可以看到日出日落。
the day and night keeps on exchanging. it’s not too hot in the daytime while not to cold at night.
一天早晚有变化，昼夜不停地交换使白天不过分热，夜晚不过分冷。
everyday, i go to school cheerfully in the morning and skip along at the way home as the sun set.
清爽的早晨，我可以背着小书包高高兴兴地去上学。夕阳西下，我又蹦又跳地回到家。

good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. the title of my speech today is "crossing the sea" . an english poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in this poem "we and they" :
all the people like us are we
and everyone else is they
we live over the sea
while they live over the way
we eat pork and beef with cow horn-handled knives
they who gobble their rice off a leaf
are horrified out of their lives.
when these lines first caught my eyes, i was shocked--how could two people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture. those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.
indeed, just take china as example; our modern life has been influenced by western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in apple jeans.
however, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today. what is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality. just look around.
how many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government?
how many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest. who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? and i'm quite certain that if confucius had lived to see today's china, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.
it is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient eastern civilization are already living under strong influence of the western culture. but it is not only in china that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.
take the united states as an example: during the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming competition from japan, many american companies such as the ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of eastern culture.
take the chinese acupuncture as another example: this traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the west and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body--an idea which would strike any westerner as incredible in the past!
