1:In 2007 the people of Hawaii gave him a present of a double-hulled canoe, the Alingano Maisu.Maisu means “ripe breadfruit blown from a tree in a storm”, which anyone may eat.2:The breadfruit was Mau's favourite tree anyway: tall and light, with a twisty grain excellent for boat-building, sticky latex for caulking, and big starchy fruit which, fermented, made the ideal food for an ocean voyage.3:But maisu also referred to easy, communal sharing of something good: like the knowledge of how to sail for weeks out on the Pacific, without maps, going by the stars.

1:2007年，夏威夷人民送给他一个礼物，一艘双船身小船，Alingano Maisu，Maisu在当地语言指"在风暴中长出的面包果",每个人都能吃。2:面包果树也是Mau最喜欢的树，高大，轻爽，卷曲的果实适合造船，粘稠的乳胶适合堵缝蛇，富含淀粉的果实经过发酵，最适于做航海的食物。3:Maisu还指公司平易地分享好东西，比如不用地图，而利用星星在太平洋航行几个星期的知识。

1: Setting out on an ocean voyage, with water in gourds and pounded tubers tied up in leaves, he would point his canoe into the right slant of wind, and then along a path between a rising star and an opposite, setting one. With his departure star astern and his destination star ahead, he could keep to his course. 2: By day he was guided by the rising and setting sun but also by the ocean herself, the mother of life. 3: He could read how far he was from shore, and its direction, by the feel of the swell against the hull. 4: He could detect shallower water by colour, and see the light of invisible lagoons reflected in the undersides of clouds. 5: Sweeter-tasting fish meant rivers in the offing; groups of birds, homing in the evening, showed him where land lay.

1:出海时，葫芦里装着饮水，叶子上系着干粮，他让小船和风形成一个固定的角度，沿着一颗升起的星星，和对面一颗正落下的星星形成的直线航行。2:白天有时候靠太阳指方向，有时候靠大海这生命的母亲指方向。3:通过船身感受水流，判断海岸的方向和距离。4:通过海水的颜色判断水深，通过天上云底的反光判断远方的礁湖。5:如果鱼的味道比平常甜点，就意味着淡水河离这里不远，如果傍晚有鸟群回家，就指示陆地的方向。

1: Much of what he knew, of course, was secret. The secrecy was serious: when he spoke of spirits, his smiling face became deadly sober and even scared. 2: To a very few students, he passed on “The Talk of the Sea” and “The Talk of the Light”. By doing so, he broke a rule that Micronesian knowledge should remain in those islands only. 3: It seemed to him, though, that Polynesians and Micronesians were one people, united by the vast ocean which he, and they, had crisscrossed for millennia in their tiny boats.

1:当然这些东西有很多是严肃的秘密，当他说到灵魂的时候，微笑的脸顿时冷静下来，甚至显得很神圣。2:他只教很少的学生“和大海交谈”，“和光线交流”，并且在教学生这些秘密的时候，他打破了密克罗尼西亚知识不外传的规矩。3:因为在他看来，玻利尼西亚人和密克罗尼西亚人是一家人，联结着他们是的他们千百年来驾小舟穿行过无数次的广阔海洋。

MOST astronomical telescopes employ reflection to focus starlight. A concave mirror creates an image from this light using a design pioneered in the 17th century, by Sir Isaac Newton. Those telescopes that do not employ reflection use refraction. They have a system of lenses, an idea first used to look at the stars by Galileo.

大部分天文望远镜都是运用的焦点星光的反射原理。早在17世纪，艾萨克.牛顿就开创性的利用这个光，让凹透镜产生了一个图像。那些不利用反射的望远镜利用的是折射。他们有透镜系统。利用透镜系统的想法最早是伽利略用来观测星星的。
