梵蒂岡的紅衣主教們舉行秘密會議，進行選舉新教皇的首輪投票，結果正如預料的那樣，西斯廷教堂的煙囪里冒出了黑煙。艾倫·約翰斯頓在羅馬圣彼特廣場報道。
On a cold, wet evening here, a sense of expectation built and built. As more of more people gathered under umbrellas in Saint Peter’s Square, all eyes are on the little chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel and eventually the smoke came but it was black smoke. It’s signaled that as was very widely expected the first ballot had been inconclusive, no Pope had been elected and there will need to be more rounds of voting.
今晚天氣寒冷又潮濕，人們不斷地期待著結果。圣彼特廣場擠滿了越來越多的人，他們打著雨傘，全都盯著西斯廷教堂的小煙囪，最后煙霧出來了，但卻是黑色的。這表明正如普遍預料的那樣，首輪投票沒有結果，沒有選出教皇，還需進行進一步的投票。
Scientists from the American space agency NASA say the Mars rover Curiosity has found the basic chemicals which could have supported primitive life in the distant past. The robot was analyzing a sample of rock drilled out last month in a former riverbed. It identified sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and carbon. Researchers say these elements could have combined to provide an energy source for microorganism. Michael Meyer is Curiosity’s lead scientist.
美國航天局NASA稱火星探路者"好奇號"已探明維持遙遠過去原始生命的基本化學物質。機器人正在分析上月從舊河床上鑿得的巖石樣本，發(fā)現其中含有硫、氮、氫、氧和炭。研究者稱這些元素可以化成成為微生物提供能量的物質。邁克·梅爾是"好奇號"的首席科學家。
“I guess one way to look at this is with Curiosity we have been able to take this to the next level of understanding whether or not Mars has had them all. We actually know there’s particular environment that water was there for significant amount of time, that it was neutral, wasn’t too salty. So as we look into the details it looks better.”
“我想我們可以這么看待‘好奇號’的這個發(fā)現，那就是，我們可以進行下一步的研究，探明火星是否有這些物質。我們可以確定的是，在相當長的時間里，火星具備一定的可以容許水存在的特別環(huán)境，這種水是中性的，不是太咸。因此我們可以進一步研究其中的細節(jié)。”
