Todd:Ebony, we were looking at the internet and we saw that the U.S. is going to try to put people on the moon, again, in a few years. What do you think about that?
Ebony, 我们上网看到美国在几年之后又要将人送上月球。关于这个你有什么想法？
Ebony:OK, about people on the moon, I think it's really cool! I say that as a natural reaction, but I know they've tried it before. I think it would be maybe a good idea economically, but then again not.
恩，关于人上月球，我认为那很酷啊！那是一种自然反应。但我知道美国人之前就已经尝试过了。从经济的角度来说那是个不错的想法，然而又不是。
Todd:Sure.
当然。
Ebony:I mean, because first of all, how are we financially in the US? What are they doing? I think they are trying to pick up spirits or distract right now with all the other underlying issues!
我的意思是，首先，我们是如何在美国经济独立的？他们在做什么？我想他们在试图重拾斗志或分散所有其他潜在问题!
Todd:Yeah!
对的
Ebony:Honestly, when I heard that, I was like, is this some kind of propoganda, some kind of billboard distraction. In my opinion, I mean, it's an awesome idea though if you really think behind it, but I don't know if that's what we should be looking at right now.
老实说，当我听到的时候，我就想，那是一种宣传,是一种广告牌分心效应。我认为，我是说，尽管你真的往远了想，这还是一个很不错的想法。但我不知道那是不是我们现在正看到的这样。
Todd:Sure, so do you think it is a waste of money or do you think it helps science?
当然，那你认为它是在浪费钱还是在促进科学的发展？
Ebony:I think eventually it's a great thing, and it does help, and I think it's a wonderful thing to be paying attention to, but I don't know whether it's the right moment for it. But either way, they're doing it, so I think it would be really neat, I mean I've always wanted to say to my, you know, one day my kids, "Ok, let's go to vacation on the moon...I feel like going out to the suite hotel you know.Let's go look at the stars" you know a few meteors passing by, wouldn't that be neat..to say that and really be able to do that someday.
我想这最终是件好事，而且确实有所促进。我想那是一个值得关注的事，但我不知道现在是不是个合适的时机。但是无论如何，他们在做，所以我认为这确实了不起，我的意思是，你知道的，我一直都希望有一天我能对我的孩子说，“好，我们去月球旅行吧……你知道我喜欢去酒店套房。那我们就去看星星。”你知道的，当有一些流星经过的时候，说某天真的可以这么做将是再好不过的了。
Todd:Gosh, it must be really, really beautiful on the moon. Well, actually, you are very young. I think 20! 20 years old?
天啊，月球上一定，一定很美。恩，事实上，你太年轻了，我想才20岁！20岁？
Ebony:Yes.
是的。
Todd:So, do you think that is going to be possible, that...
那么，你觉得那个会有可能吗？
Ebony:Yeah! Yeah!
会，会的！
Todd:Really?
真的吗？
Ebony:Since I was 10. Since I was 10 years old my father would always say to me, you know, he's about 62 right now, and so, he said, I've seen everybody go from cars to everything and all the advances in technology is so fast, he said, 'I can't imagine when your are my age what's it's going to be like for you at the rate technology is advancing.
自打我10岁。自打我10岁，我父亲，你知道的，他现在已经62岁了。总是对我说，“我眼看着人们所用的交通工具在改变，从小汽车到其他的一切而且技术上的提高是很快的。”我真是想象不到，以这个速度发展，当你到我这个岁数的时候会变成什么样。
Todd:Yeah!
是啊！
Ebony:So I thought, "Wow, that's really cool!" I'll be able to do that and I always did. I always thought that and so, in a way too I'm saying, "What took you so long guys?"
所以我想,“哇,这太酷了!“我能做,我总是那样。我一直在考虑并以一种我总说的方式在考虑“各位，是什么让你们花了这么长时间?”
Todd:Wow, so that's amazing. You could actually be going for vacation to the moon in forty years.
哇，所以说那很神奇。事实上，40年后你是能够去月球度假的。
Ebony:Wouldn't that not be cool!
没有比那更酷的了！
Todd:Yeah!
是的！
Ebony:Just sit there.
就坐那儿吧。
Todd:Or Mars.
或者去火星。
Ebony:Mars.
火星。
Todd:Yeah! Lots of rocks.
对！有很多岩石。
Ebony:The red planet. I don't know about mars. I think the moon sounds kind of cooler not as far.
红色的星球。我太不清楚火星。我觉得月球听起来有些酷还没有那么远。
Todd:Yeah!
对！
Ebony:It depends on what they do with travel.
那取决于旅游有什么用。
Todd:Yeah. You definitely would need around-trip ticket.
对啊。你一定会需要往返车票。
Ebony:OK, thanks a lot Ebony
好的，非常感谢。
either way 无论如何
