阿联酋拟加入太空竞赛并于2117年在火星上建立首座城市

------------译者：黎明晖烬-

The UAE turned the heads of space exploration fans everywhere earlier this year when it announced its plans to build a mini-city on Mars in the next century.

阿联酋今年早些时候宣布了于下个世纪在火星上建议迷你城市的计划，这吸引了全世界太空探索爱好者的目光。

Officials have since released few details on the project which is part of its 100-year national programme to better understand the red planet.

官方几乎还没发布该计划的任何细节。该计划是其火星探索百年国家项目的一部分。

But yesterday a key figurehead of the ambitious plans said that the UAE is prepared to join the 'new space race' and that young Arab people will lead the mission.

但昨天这个雄心勃勃计划的一位关键负责人说，阿联酋准备加入“新太空竞赛”，阿拉伯年轻一代将领导这一任务。

'In the UAE... we believe that we are on the cusp of a new age of exploration' Saeed Al Gergawi Program Director of the Mars 2117 program at the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) announced at the Humans to Mars summit in Washington DC.

穆罕默德 本 拉希德航天中心，“2117火星计划”项目主管Saeed Al Gergawi，在华盛顿“人类前往火星”峰会上声称：“在阿联酋，我们相信我们正站在新探索时代的顶峰。”

“现在新的太空竞赛已经展开，毫不夸张地的说，将影响地球上的每个人。”

Mr Al Gergawi explained the UAE's ambitions for the colony in a panel of representatives from the European Space Agency NASA and more.

This is just typical - me and my family moved to Mars 3 years ago and now this! I mean it's not like they will even build a decent pub! Mind you it's not all roses up here we worked out that the nearest Starbucks is a 500 million mile round trip give or take the odd million... ;o)

将来会是如下日常- 我和我的家人3年前搬来火星了，现状如此！我抱怨的是他们都不打算建一个像样的酒吧！注意一切并非你想象中的完美。。。
在这里据计算，最近的星巴克咖啡厅往返大概要5亿公里，哦，值得注意的是，这个数字若有小偏差，也是百万公里算起... ;o)

Will they allow female astronaughts given that they don't even allow them to drive?

据他们连女性开车都禁止情况，他们允许有女宇航员吗?

fish -> Halloween Jack
That's Saudi.

（回复楼上）那是沙特，不是阿联酋

Halloween Jack
M.slims in space that's all we need. Go but please don't come back to Earth.

让穆斯林太空呆着去，我们都觉得不错。 去吧，但请别再回地球了。

Then we can squabble about religion on Mars as well.

然后，都到火星了，我们还要为宗教问题吵吵吵吵。

We got there first; we landed the Rover; Mars is ours; all others keep away! (ps. We also own the moon.)

我们是第一个到火星的，漫游者第一个登陆上去的探测器，火星是我们的，其他人滚粗！ （ps。月亮也是我们美国的）

No women allowed on Mars.
火星禁止女性存在。

LAW -> S3763
Tell that to the Emirati businesswomen police women female Armed Forces personnel office staff college lecturers etc.

LAW 回复楼上
这话你再对阿联酋的女企业家，女警察，女武装人员，女白领，女讲师等说一遍。（阿联酋女性生活过得特别幸福滋润）

Halloween Jack -> S3763
They won't be driving the moon buggies that's for sure.

Halloween Jack回复 S3763
可以肯定的是她们铁定不去开月球车。

Can you take Allan with you and leave him there please. He seems terribly unhappy here.

可以把真主阿拉也带走吗？让他留在火星吧拜托了。它看起来在地球不开心极了。

Tantalum
Living on Mars with its gravity being only one-third of Earth's sounds like something that would not be beneficial to ones health. Would you like your bones and muscles to deteriorate significantly?

生活在火星上，其重力只有地球的三分之一，对任何人的健康无益。 你愿意让你的骨骼和肌肉明显恶化吗？

Lancelot Jones -> Tantalum
I think you would get constipated too

Lancelot Jones 回复楼上
我想，在火星也会便秘。

Apostalypse -> Tantalum
It's hard to tell at this stage. We know zero gravity has detrimental effects but it's not clear if lower gravity does - you still have a defined up and down and the lower gravity might be compensated for by weight vests. The lower gravity could even lead to longer life shorter people have longer average lifespans because their cardiovascular system is under less load pumping uphill against gravity.
Apostalypse 回复 Tantalum

现阶段很难说。 我们知道零重力有不良影响，但不清楚是否低重力也如此 - 仍有一些猜想，较低的重力可以通过加穿重衣得到抵消。 较低的重力甚至可能延迟人类寿命，身材较矮的人通常更长寿些，因为他们的心血管系统在较小重力下减少了负载。

I wonder if couples will be able to make out in public in the UAE mars city?

我想知道夫妻是否能够在阿联酋的火星城公开接吻抚摸？

Halloween Jack -> gellis
Women won't be allowed on the is.amic state of Mars.

Halloween Jack回复楼上
他们会禁止女性上火星的。

Now why would the UAE want to build a city in a place that's full of sand lifeless remote no atmosphere no alcohol hard to get to and expensive to live in?

现在为什么阿联酋曾想在这样的一块地方建造一座城市? 都是沙漠，荒无人烟，又无暇遥远，没有空气，没有酒精，交通不方便并且生活成本昂贵。。。

LAW -> OstrogothRome
No alcohol? You've GOT to be kidding? You've obviously never been to the UAE!

没酒？你开玩笑嘛？你显然从来没有去过阿联酋！

Sloppy
2117? That's probably about 50 years after we stop using petroleum and the UAE is once again a bunch of nomads living in tents out in the desert. But good luck with that.

2117？ 大概50年后我们将停止使用石油，而阿联酋又会变成是一群生活在沙漠帐篷里的游牧民族。 但祝我们到时好运。

It makes about as much sense as what they are doing in Dubai

这意义很重大，就像他们正在迪拜那里做的一样。
