New Hubble Images of Mars Released
“哈勃”望遠鏡捕捉到火星新圖片

BALTIMORE - Astronomers reacted with jubilation Wednesday at new pictures of Mars taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, saying the planet's close pass to Earth enabled the Hubble to capture "quite spectacular" images.
巴爾多摩－本周三，美國“哈勃”太空望遠鏡拍攝到火星的全身照，這令天文學家們興奮不已。由于火星運行到了與地球最近的距離，才使得 “哈勃”太空望遠鏡有機會拍攝到如此罕見的照片。
★jubilation，The act of rejoicing. 歡騰，歡慶歡騰、歡慶的行為。
★capture，To gain possession or control of, as in a game or contest. 贏得，奪取，拍攝到。capture the queen in chess下國際象棋時吃掉王后； captured the liberal vote.贏得自由黨的選票。
"We've never seen this kind of resolution in Hubble images, that kind of detail," said Cornell University astronomer Jim Bell said, pointing to a canyon that runs 2,800 miles across the red planet. The images, taken when Mars was about 34.6 million miles from Earth, show surface details as small as 17 miles across. While spacecraft orbiting Mars can show objects in greater detail, they often cannot make an image of the entire planet at once.
照片拍攝到了紅色火星上一條長28000英里的大峽谷。康奈爾大學天文學家吉姆貝爾手指大峽谷表示，我們第一次看到哈勃拍攝到如此詳細清晰的火星圖片。拍攝這張照片時火星距離地球只有34600萬英里。照片上可以分辨出達17英里的火星峽谷。雖然繞火星運轉的太空船拍攝到的照片也很詳細，但卻拍攝不到火星的全景。
★resolution，The fineness of detail that can be distinguished in an image, as on a video display terminal. 辨析率，解析度，影像能被分辨的細微程度，如在視頻顯示終端的細微程度。我們平時攝影時都說分辨率。
★canyon，A narrow chasm with steep cliff walls, cut into the earth by running water; a gorge. 峽谷，帶峭壁的狹窄裂縫，由流水切入地表；峽谷。
Scientists will now study the pictures in detail, and there's hope that the images will lead to new discoveries.
科學家們將對照片進一步研究，他們希望通過此照片能有新的發(fā)現。
