Jet skis for joyriding through the galaxy and beyond.
谁知道呢
Who knows?
也许有一天整个拉尼亚凯亚超星系团对我们来说只是个小池塘
Maybe the entire Laniakea supercluster could one day become our pond.
它包含了10万个星系
That's 100,000 galaxies.
Laniakea在夏威夷语中表示“无尽的天堂”
Laniakea, the phrase in Hawaiian for "immeasurable heaven."
先进版的阿库别瑞引擎
An advanced version of our Alcubierre Drive
一眨眼的功夫就能航行600万亿英里
could do 600 trillion miles in the blink of an eye.
不知不觉中你就进入了遥远恒星的行星系统
Before you know it, you're in the planetary system of a distant star.
让我们称之为“Hoku”星系
Let's call it, the "Hoku" system.
一颗由岩石行星和冰巨行星环绕的红矮星
A red dwarf star surrounded by a retinue of rocky and ice giant planets.
其中的某处就是我们前来寻找的家园
Somewhere among them is a world that we have come to call home.
我们的宇宙望远镜仔细观察了100光年内的所有恒星
Our cosmic telescope sifted through all the stars within
最终指向了这里
a radius of 100 light years and pointed the way to this one.
这里的七颗行星都聚集在恒星的周围
All seven of these planets, huddle closer to their star
其距离比水星与太阳的更近
than Mercury does to our sun.
Haumia就在Hoku星系宜居带的外♥围♥
Haumia is just on the outskirts of Hoku's habitable zone.
那温暖的绿色看起来十分诱人
Those warm green colors seem inviting,
但这不是因为我们在俯瞰森林
but we're not seeing the tops of forests.
那是甲烷和氨的绿色
That green comes from methane and ammonia.
即便仅相距2700万英里
Even at a distance of only 27 million miles,
恒星Hoku还是太弱难以让这个星球保持温暖
the star Hoku is too weak to keep this planet warm.
我们现在是在Hoku宜居带的最佳地点
We are now in the sweet spot of Hoku's habitable zone.
这是行星坦格罗亚
And this is the planet Tangaroa,
这里正在上演人类传奇的最新篇章
where the latest chapter of the saga of our species is playing out.
人类花了几百年的时间改造这个毫无生机的世界
It took a few hundred years for humans to terraform this lifeless world.
而现在连空气都和地球的一样甜美
But now, even the air tastes as sweet as home.
但这里仅仅是印度尼西亚
But this was only Indonesia.
人类在银河系漫游的早期站点之一
One of the earlier stops on our nomadic odyssey throughout the Milky Way.
前面仍然有很多驻留之地
There were still so many islands that lay ahead.
在我们梦幻般的未来中
And in this dream future of ours,
坐着超光速的飞船
with our faster than light craft
总有一天我们可以把宇宙望远镜放在离地球足够远的地方
There would come a time when we could place our cosmic telescope
亲眼看到
far enough away from our home planet to see first-hand,
那些在未知海域起航的无名祖先
those of our nameless ancestors who first set sail on unknown seas.
卡尔·萨根小时候画了这幅画
Carl Sagan made this drawing when he was a child.
想象着下一个探索的黄金时代的展开
Imagining the unfolding of the next Golden Age of Exploration.
作为一名科学家他在其中担任了重要的角色
As a scientist, he played a central role in it.
而现在他和我们谈起了过去
And now, he speaks to us out of the past.
谈起我们对未来的梦想
About our dreams of the future.
萨根：我们是要进入太空探险
SAGAN: Are we to venture out into space?
转移家园重新设计行星
Move worlds, re-engineer planets,
扩张到邻近的星系吗？
spread to neighboring star systems?
我们这些甚至不能让自己的星球家园井井有条的人
We, who cannot even put our own planetary home in order,
充满着敌意和仇恨
riven with rivalries and hatreds.
蹂躏自己的环境
Despoiling our environment, murdering one another through
借由恼怒和疏忽互相残杀
irritation and inattention.
除了那些致命的意图我们还是一个
As well as on deadly purpose and moreover, a species that,
直到最近都还相信
until only recently, was convinced that the whole
整个宇宙都是为它创造的物种
universe was made for its sole benefit.
我认为处在那个位置上的
I do not imagine that it is precisely 'we'.
不是有着当今文化和社会习俗的”我们“
With our present customs and social conventions who will be out there.
如果我们继续只积聚力量而忽视智慧
If we continue to accumulate only power and not wisdom,
我们定会毁灭自己
we will surely destroy ourselves.
存在于那遥远的未来需要
Our very existence in that distant time requires
我们改变风俗制度以及我们自己
that we will have changed our institutions and ourselves.
我怎么敢猜测遥远未来的人类呢？
How can I dare to guess about humans in the far future?
我认为这只是自然选择的问题
It is, I think, only a matter of natural selection.
如果我们变得比现在更加暴♥力♥ 目光短浅无知和自私
If we become even slightly more violent, short-sighted,
即使只有一点点
ignorant and selfish than we are now.
我也几乎可以肯定我们将没有未来
Almost certainly, we will have no future.
如果你还年轻在有生之年很可能看到
If you're young, it's just possible that we will
我们在近地小行星及火星上
be taking our first steps on near-Earth asteroids and
迈出探索的第一步
Mars during your lifetime.
等我们准备好殖民到最近的行星系统时
By the time we're ready to settle even the nearest other
我们已经改变了
planetary systems, we will have changed.
多代的延续传承将改变我们
The simple passage of so many generations will have changed us.
生活的不同环境将改变我们
The different circumstances we will be living under will have changed us.
我们是适应能力强的物种
We're an adaptable species.
到达半人马座阿尔法星以及附近其它恒星的
It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri
不会是我们
and the other nearby stars.
它会是一个非常像我们的物种
It will be a species very like us,
但与我们相比有更多的优点更少的缺点
but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses.
一个归于自然
A species returned to circumstances,
更像进化之初的人类
more like those for which it was originally evolved.
一个更自信有远见有能力且谨慎
More confident, far-seeing, capable and prudent.
一个更能代表我们的物种
The sorts of beings we would want to represent us
据我们所知宇宙中
in a universe that, for all we know,
充满了更古老
is filled with species much older,
更强大大相径庭的物种
much more powerful and very different.
恒星之间的遥远距离是天意使然
The vast distances that separate the stars are providential.
生物和美好世界间的相互隔离则是主动为之
Beings and worlds are quarantined one from another.
只有那些有足够自我认知和判断
The quarantine is lifted, only for those with sufficient
来进行安全的星际旅行的人世界才是可达的
self-knowledge and judgement to have safely traveled from star to star.
我们遍布太阳系内外的后裔
Our remote descendants safely arrayed on many worlds through
将通过他们共同的遗产
the solar system and beyond will be unified by
通过他们对母星的关注
their common heritage, by their regard for their
通过"无论其他生命何种模样宇宙中唯一的人类来自地球"的信念
home planet and by the knowledge that whatever other life may be,
紧紧联♥系♥在一起
the only humans in all the universe come from Earth.
(世界各地的语言)谢谢你母亲
Thank you, mother.
