A starting point for all astronomy students should be the great star "Venus".
天文学专业的学生都应把金星作为自己学习的起点。
注:
1,starting point(起点)≈开端≈起始点≠开始点
Of course, we know it is not a star at all but the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest.
当然,我们都知道金星其实不是恒星,而是距太阳距离第二,体积第六大的行星。
注:
1,second planet from the Sun(距太阳距离第二的行星)≈离太阳第二远的行星≈从太阳数过来的第二颗行星≠太阳的第二大行星
Venus is usually visible with the unaided eye. Sometimes referred to as the "morning star" or the "evening star", it is the brightest star in the sky.
通常情况下,我们用肉眼就可以看到金星。有时金星被称为“启明星”或“长庚星”,它是天空中最亮的星。
注:
1,unaided eye(肉眼)≈naked eye≠没有辅助的眼睛
2,referred to(被称为)≠被提到
3,morning star(启明星)≈晨星
4,evening star(长庚星)≈晚星
It is the brightest object in the sky except for the Sun and the Moon.
它是天空中除太阳和月亮之外最亮的天体。
注:
1,object(天体)≠物体
Venus probably once had large amounts of water like Earth, but it all boiled away so now it's quite dry.
金星上曾经像地球一样,存在大量的水,但是这些水分全部汽化了,所以如今的金星基本没有水分。注:
Boil away(汽化)≈蒸发≠被煮干
