This means a total period of 100 years in which interstellar communication would be possible

这就是说，星际通信在100年内可能实现。

||1:Orion could reach Mars in weeks, where chemical rockets would take six months or more.||2:A more powerful version could cross the vast void to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to the sun, in a bit over a century.||3:Since the bigger the rocket, the more efficient it was, he proposed a 240m-ton ship 90 miles in diameter, designed to carry thousands of colonists and make humanity an interstellar species.||4:Whether he was serious, even he may not have known.

||1:“猎户座”火箭可以在几周内到达火星，而化学燃料火箭则需要6个月甚至更长时间。||2:一个更强大的火箭可能在一个多世纪后穿过这片巨大的空间，到达离太阳最近的半人马座阿尔法星。||3:由于火箭越大，效率越高，弗里曼提议建造一艘直径90英里、重2.4亿吨的飞船，用以运送成千上万的殖民者，使人类成为星际物种。||4:弗里曼是否是认真的，即使他可能也不知道。

||1:But gravitational waves are not the only things that BICEP-2 might have picked up.||2:The Milky Way is filled with thin clouds of interstellar dust which, under the influence of the galaxy’s magnetic field, scatter and polarise starlight.||3:The BICEP team were confident that the contamination from the dust was small enough not to affect their detection of gravitational waves.||4:But the behaviour of the dust is poorly understood, says Chris Lintott, an astronomer at Oxford University, and not everyone was convinced.

||1:但是引力波并不是BICEP-2发现的唯一一件事情。||2:银河中遍布的星级尘埃，在星系磁场的作用下，散射或极化星光。||3:BICEP小组相信，灰尘的污染非常小，不足以影响其对引力波的测定。||4:但是牛津大学的天文学家Chris Lintott称，对灰尘行迹我们理解不足，而且无法令所有人信服。

||1:Nothing is known about how extraterrestrials might take in information.||2:A pair of plaques sent in the early 1970s with Pioneer 10 and 11, two spacecraft, show nude human beings and a rough map to find Earth—rudimentary stuff, but even that assumes aliens can see.||3:Since such craft have no more than an infinitesimal chance of being found, radio broadcasts from Earth, travelling at the speed of light, are more likely to make contact.||4:But just as a terrestrial radio must be tuned to the right frequency, so must the interstellar kind.||5:How would aliens happen upon the correct one? The Pioneer plaque gives a hint in the form of a basic diagram of a hydrogen atom, the magnetic polarity of which flips at regular intervals, with a frequency of 1,420MHz.||6:Since hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, the hope is that this sketch might act as a sort of telephone number.

||1:关于外星人如何获取信息，我们一无所知。||2:上世纪70年代初，“先锋10号”和“11号”两艘宇宙飞船发射了一对牌匾，上面展示了裸体的人类，还有一张寻找地球基础生命的粗略地图，但仍假设外星人能看到。||3:由于这种飞行器被发现的机会微乎其微，所以来自地球的以光速飞行的无线电广播更有可能与之接触。||4:但是，就像地球上的无线电必须调到合适的频率一样，星际间的无线电也必须调到合适的频率。||5:外星人如何碰巧找到正确的频率呢？先驱牌匾以氢原子基本图的形式给出了一个提示，氢原子的磁极按一定的间隔翻转，频率为1420mhz。||6:因为氢是宇宙中最丰富的元素，所以希望这张草图能充当某种通讯号码。
