Part 2 台词学习

-Romilly: We started detecting gravitational anomalies almost 50 years ago. Mostly small distortions to our instruments in the upper atmosphere. In fact, I believe you encountered one yourself.

大约在50年前,我们开始探测到重力异常现象。大多是我们置于大气层上层的仪器出现了微小的畸变。事实上,我相信你自己也曾遇到过。

distortion /dɪs'tɔrʃən/ n. 扭曲

-Cooper: Yeah, over the Straights. My crash. Something tripped my fly-by-wire.

是的,在直道上。我的那次事故,什么东西干扰了我的自动驾驶系统。

-Romilly: Exactly. But of all these anomalies, the most significant is this: Out near Saturn... a disturbance of space-time.

正是。但在所有的异常现象中,最值得注意的是这个,在土星附近,出现了时空畸变。

disturbance /dɪ'stɝbəns/ n. 扰乱

-Cooper: Is that a Wormhole?

那是个虫洞吗?

-Romilly: It appeared 48 years ago.

它在48年前出现的。

-Cooper: And it leads where?

它通向哪里?

-Professor Brand: Another galaxy.

另一个星系。

galaxy /'ɡæləksi/ n. 星系

-Cooper: A wormhole's not a naturally occurring phenomenon.

虫洞不是自然发生的现象。

phenomenon /fə'nɑmɪnən/ n. 现象

-Brand: Someone placed it there.

是有人把它放在那里的。

-Cooper: "They"?

是“他们”吗?

-Brand: Mm. And whoever they are, they appear to be looking out for us. That Wormhole lets us travel to other stars. It came along right as we needed it.

嗯。不管他们是谁,很显然他们是在帮助我们。这个虫洞能通向其他星系,出现得太及时了。(虫洞:宇宙中可能存在的连接两个不同时空的狭窄隧道。)

appear to be 看起来是

look out for 照顾

wormhole /'wɝmhol/ n. 虫洞

come along 出现

-Doyle: They've put potentially habitable worlds right within our reach. Twelve, in fact, from our initial probes.

他们把潜在的宜居世界,置于我们触手可及的地方。事实上有十二个,这是我们初步探测的结果。

habitable /'hæbɪtəbl/ adj. 适合居住的

-Cooper: You sent probes into that?  

你们派了探测器进去?

probe /prob/ n. 探测器

-Doyle: Mm-hm.

嗯。

-Professor Brand: We sent people into it. Ten years ago.

我们派了人进去,在十年前。

-Cooper: The Lazarus missions.

拉撒路行动。

-Professor Brand: Twelve possible worlds... twelve Ranger launches carrying... the bravest humans ever to live... led by the remarkable Dr. Mann.

十二个可能的世界,十二艘“漫游者”飞船载着最勇敢的人类,由了不起的Mann博士带队。

-Doyle: Each person's landing pod had enough life support for two years. But they could use hibernation to stretch that... making observations on organics over a decade or more. Their mission was to assess their world, and if it showed potential... then they could send out a signal, bed down for the long nap, wait to be rescued.

每个人的陆舱里只有两年的补给,但他们可以利用休眠来延长时间,从而对有机生命进行长达十年的观察,甚至更久。他们的任务是,对抵达的世界进行评估,如果存在可能性,他们就可以发出信号,然后进行长期休眠,等待救援到来。

landing pod 着陆舱

hibernation /haɪbɚˈneʃən/ n. 休眠

observation /ɑbzɚ'veʃən/ n. 观察

organic /ɔr'gænɪk/ n. 有机物

assess /ə'sɛs/ n. 评估

-Cooper: And what if the world didn't show promise?

要是抵达的世界没有希望呢?

-Doyle: Hence the bravery.

所以要勇敢。

-Cooper: You don't have the resources to visit all 12.

你们现有的资源不足以探查所有地方。

-Doyle: No. Data transmission back through the Wormhole is rudimentary. Simple binary pings on an annual basis give us some clue as to which worlds have potential. And one system shows promise.

对。通过虫洞回传数据的技术还不成熟。每年用简单的二进制方式,给我们一些线索,指出哪些地方存在可能性。有一个行星系显示出希望。

transmission /træns'mɪʃən/ n. 传送

rudimentary /rudɪ'mɛntri/ adj. 初步的

-Cooper: Only one. That's a bit of a long shot, isn't it?

只有一个。希望有点渺茫,不是吗?

-Brand: One system with three potential worlds? No long shot.

一个行星系里有三个可能的世界?并不渺茫。

-Cooper: Okay. So if we find a home... then what?

好吧。假设我们找到一个新家,然后呢?  

-Professor Brand: That's the long shot. There's a Plan A and a Plan B. Did you notice anything strange about the launch chamber?

那时候,才是大赌。有A计划,还有B计划。你注意到发射室有什么奇怪的地方吗?

-Cooper: Well, this entire facility's a centrifuge. Some kind of vehicle, or... a space station?

整幢建筑就是个大型离心机。是某种运输工具吗?还是宇宙空间站?

centrifuge /'sɛntrɪfjudʒ/ n. 离心机

-Professor Brand: Both. Plan A.

都对。这是A计划。

-Cooper: How do you get it off the ground?

你要怎么让它离开地面呢?

-Professor Brand: The first gravitational anomalies changed everything. Suddenly we knew that harnessing gravity was real. So I started working on a theory and we started building this station.

第一次重力异常颠覆了一切。我们突然意识到,控制和利用引力是可行的。所以我开始研究一项理论,同时建造这个空间站。

-Cooper: But you haven't solved it yet.

但你还没能验证它。

-Brand: That's why there's Plan B. The problem is gravity. How to get a viable amount of human life off the planet. This is one way. Plan B, a population bomb. Over 5,000 fertilized eggs weighing in at just under 900 kilos.

所以才有B计划。问题在于地心引力,如何才能把一定数量、可延续生存的人类离开这个星球,这是一种办法。B计划:人口炸弹。五千多枚受精卵,重量不超过九百公斤。

-Cooper: And how would you raise them?

你要怎么养育它们?

-Brand: With equipment on board, we incubate the first 10. After that, with surrogacy, the growth becomes exponential. Within 30 years, we could have a colony of hundreds. The real difficulty with colonization is genetic diversity. This takes care of that.

利用飞船上的设备,我们先孵化十个受精卵。在那之后,利用代孕技术让人口指数增长。30年内,我们就能有上百人的殖民地了。殖民的真正困难在于基因多样性,这东西能解决那个问题。

incubate /'ɪŋkjubet/ v. 孵化

surrogacy /'sɝrəɡəsi/ n. 代孕

exponential /ɛkspə'nɛnʃəl/ adj. 指数的

colony /'kɑləni/ n. 殖民地

-Cooper: But what about the people here? You just... you give up on them? My kids?

但这里的人怎么办?你们就这样放弃他们了?我的孩子呢?

-Professor Brand: That's why Plan A is a lot more fun.

所以A计划可能更好一些。

-Cooper: How far have you got?

你研究得怎么样了?

-Professor Brand: Almost there.

差不多了。

-Cooper: You're asking me to hang everything... on an almost.

你要我把一切都赌在一个“差不多”上。

-Professor Brand: I'm asking you to trust me. Find us a new home. And by the time you return... I will have solved the problem of gravity. I give you my word.

我是要你相信我。给我们找一个新家,等你归来之时,我将解决这个引力难题,我向你保证。
