  Greg: Preparing for cities on Mars? That sounds like a lot of trouble.

  翻译

  Translation—Conversation C

  玛吉和格雷格继续谈论在火星上生活。

  格雷格:为火星上的城市做准备?那听起来好象很麻烦。玛吉:我肯定那会很麻烦,但是现代科技已经做出了一些惊人的事情。格雷格:没错。也许有一天我们能够在火星上生活。毕竟我们已经把人送上了月球,也发射火箭到火星上去了。

  Translation—Conversation D

  玛吉:而且谁知道我们的这个世界将来会发生什么事呀。格雷格:对呀。可是如果我们不更小心些的话,也许有一天我们就没有行星可搬了。有消息随时告诉我,不能不带上我就离开地球哦。玛吉:我才不急着离开。我现在坐在这里看电视,挺愉快的。你能转到第20频道吗?我想正在放“外层空间大阴谋”(Plan 9 from Outer Space)呢。
