2--Yeah. I saw a science program.It was quite interesting.
1--What was it about?
2--Mars. Scientists say there might be water on it.
1--lf so,we may live there someday.
2--I hope so. Did you know the U.S.successfully sent two robotic explorers to Mars last month?
1--Sure.I heard about this on the TV. On January 3rd ,2004 , Explor-er Spirit landed near the so-called Gusev Crater. And three weeks later,Spirit's win explorer, Opportunity, landed on Meridiani Planum named by scientists.
2--Yes. Both have sent back pictures of the planet. And the latter did a better job.

譯文:
1--羅斯,昨晚看電視了嗎?
2--看了。我收看了一個(gè)科學(xué)節(jié)目,很有意思。
1--講什么來著?
2--火星??茖W(xué)家說那上面可能存在水。
1--如果這樣,說不定我們將來可以在火星上生活呢。
2--但愿如此。你知道上個(gè)月美國已成功地向火星發(fā)射了兩輛機(jī)器人探測(cè)器了吧。
1--當(dāng)然知道了。我在電視上看到的。2004年1月3日,“勇氣”號(hào)探測(cè)順在被稱作“古謝夫環(huán)行山”的地方附近著陸。而三周后,它的“孿生兄弟”“機(jī)遇”號(hào)在被科學(xué)家稱為“梅里迪亞尼平原”的地方著陸。
2--沒錯(cuò)。兩“兄弟”都發(fā)回了所拍攝的火星照片。不過“機(jī)遇”號(hào)的照片更清楚一些。
