Gliding, the sports of flying a glider is also known as soaring. The modern gliders are characterised by long, slender wings; smooth, streamlined fuselages; and clean, simple tail assemblies.

滑翔是驾驶滑翔机飞行的运动，也称soaring。现代滑翔机的特点是细长的翼，流线型的光滑机身，和简单明了的尾翼。

Gliders are light aircraft that fly with no engine. They are pulled by a powered plane into the sky and set free to fly on air currents. They soar on wind currents called "mountain waves." That is why their wings are longer than ordinary planes.

滑翔机是指不用发动机飞行的轻型飞机。它们被动力飞机拖曳到空中，然后释放到气流中飞行。它们凭借被称为“地形波”的气流飞翔，这就是它们的机翼比普通飞机长的原因。

The aerospace company Airbus Group recently completed the first flight of a glider it calls Perlan 2. The Perlan Project intends to use gliders to take measurements in the stratosphere. Scientists believe weather in the stratosphere affects the Earth’s climate more than they thought before.

空客公司最近完成了“普兰2号”滑翔机的首次飞行。普兰项目拟利用滑翔机对平流层进行测定。科学家认为平流层的天气对地球气候的影响比他们原来想象的要大。

Some light aircraft and gliders operating at low altitudes in clear weather are not required to have even radios, let alone transponders or radar.

一些在晴朗天气下进行低空飞行的轻型飞机和滑翔机甚至不需要无线电，更别提异频雷达收发机或雷达了。

Sea gliders move slowly, at around 1kph, tracing a saw-tooth pattern through the water as they constantly ascend and descend.

海洋滑翔器移动较慢，大概每小时航行1公里，当它们持续的上浮和下沉时，轨迹是一个锯齿形的图案。
