Maybe some day our children will end up living in Mars .Excited ? Here some fascinating facts about Mars.
也许有一天，我们的孩子最终会生活在火星上。激动吗?这里有一些关于火星的有趣事实。
Mars is far less than half the size of the Earth .Though it's smaller,the surface area of Mars that you can stand on is equal to that of the Earth,because the Earth is mostly covered by water .The atmosphere on Mars is really thin--100 times thinner than on Earth ,and it's not breathable,for it's 96 percent CO2.It's really cold there.The average temperature is minus 81 degrees,although there is quite aquite a range of temperature .A day on Mars is about as long as a day on Earth,plus about 39 minutes.Seasons and years on Mars are twice as long as they are on Earth .Mars has a lot less gravity than on Earth,and it's the kind of place where you can jump over your car instead of walking around it.
火星是远远低于一半地球的大小,虽然小,你可以站在火星表面的面积等同于地球,因为地球是大部分被水覆盖,火星大气是薄——比地球上薄100倍,不透气,因为它充满了96%的二氧化碳。那里真的很冷。平均温度是零下81度，尽管有一个相当大的温度范围。火星上的一天相当于地球上的一天，再加上大约39分钟。火星上的四季和年数是地球上的两倍长。火星上的重力比地球上小得多，而且是那种你可以跳过你的汽车而不是绕着它走的地方。
Now,as you can see,Mars isn't exactly Earth-like,but it's by far the most livable other place in our entiresolar system.
现在，正如你所看到的，火星并不完全像地球，但它是目前为止我们整个太阳系中最适合居住的地方。
And here is what you need to live on Earth:food,water,shelter and clothing.And here's what you need to live on Mars :all of the above,plus oxygen .
这就是你在地球上生存所需要的:食物、水、住所和衣服。这是你在火星上生活所需要的:所有这些，再加上氧气。
Let's look at the most important thing on this list first.As we know,water is the basis of all life and it's far too heavy to carry water from the Earth to Mars,so we have to find water on Mars.Mars looks just like a desert.But actually it's not.The soil on Mars contains up to 60 percent water.And a number of orbiters flying around Mars have shown us that many craters on Mars have water ice in them.Orbiters also tell us that there are huge amounts of underground water on Mars as well as glacier . In fact,if only the water ice at the poles on Mars melted,most of the planet would be under 30 feet of water.
让我们先来看看这个列表中最重要的事情。我们都知道，水是所有生命的基础，从地球到火星携带水太重了，所以我们必须在火星上找到水。火星看起来就像沙漠。但事实并非如此。火星上的土壤含有高达60%的水分。许多环绕火星飞行的轨道飞行器向我们展示了火星上的许多环形山中有水冰。人造卫星还告诉我们，火星上有大量的地下水和冰川。事实上，如果火星两极的水冰融化，地球的大部分将会在30英尺深的水下。
Water comes first .Next we have to think about the atmosphere.
首先是水。接下来我们要考虑大气。
