Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English. I’m Rob and joining me in the studio today is Jennifer. Welcome, Jennifer!
大家好，歡迎來到BBC六分鐘英語。我是Rob，這是我今天的搭檔Jennifer。你好，Jennifer。
Hi there. Now Rob, I believe our subject for discussion this week is a load of rubbish?!
你好，Rob。本周我們要討論的話題是一堆垃圾？！
I wouldn’t put it exactly like that. We are talking about rubbish – or to use another word – junk – and hearing some language about a subject that is out of this world – space junk.
呃，準確來說並不是。今天我們要討論下垃圾，或者用另一個詞彙——廢物，並聽到一些有關太空垃圾的語言。
Yes, here on planet Earth we don’t like seeing rubbish or litter on our streets but in space the problem is far more serious and it could even be catastrophic – so it could lead to a serious disaster.
是的。在地球上，我們不喜歡看見街道垃圾；但在太空中，問題要嚴重的多。垃圾可能引起破壞性災難。
Well, we’ll hear more about that in a moment and also find out how scientists are going to clear up this mess. But, before that, I think we should blast off with a space- related question. Now, did you know, the Russian satellite, Sputnik, was the first man- made object to be blasted into space? Do you know in which year it was launched? a) 1957 b) 1960 c) 1967

Our galactic home, the Milky Way, is big. Most galaxies are far smaller. And it’s not easy being one of those little galaxies—a big galaxy’s gravity can rob their gas. And gas creates new stars, so losing gas spells the end of star-making. That's what happened to nearly all the small galaxies orbiting the Milky Way.
我們銀河上的家，銀河，是很大的。大部分銀河系星系都是超小的呢。而且要成為那些小星系中的一員還挺不容易——一個大星系的重力能夠搶奪它們的氣體層。而氣體能夠創造恒星，所以氣體流失就意味著無法製造恒星了。這就是所有圍繞著銀河系的那些小星系上面正在上演的悲劇。
But a small galaxy can still succeed. Take the example of Leo P. Discovered in 2013, the galaxy Leo P lies some 5.3 million light-years from Earth. And it contains only about a hundred-thousandths as many stars as the Milky Way. But it’s thriving nevertheless.
但是小星系還是有機會逃脫的。比如2013年發現的這顆Leo P 這顆星系Leo P 坐落在距離地球五百三十萬光年的距離。並且它只含有銀河系所含恒星數量的千分之一百。但它現在依然欣欣向榮的存在著。
So what’s Leo P's secret for success? Pretty simple: steer clear of gas-grabbing big galaxies. Leo P still has lots of gas. In fact, Leo P's gas outweighs its stars. Astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to study the small galaxy and published their findings recently in The Astrophysical Journal.
那麼它能倖存的奧秘呢?十分簡單：牢牢抱緊吸氣的大星系的大腿。Leo P 現在還有不少氣體。實際上，Leo P 的氣體比它所含恒星還多。天文學家們利用哈勃天文望遠鏡研究了這些小星系並且已經將他們的研究發現發表在《天文物理雜誌上》。
All that gas means that Leo P can keep making new stars. So the diminutive galaxy has a bright future, as long as it keeps obeying the number one rule of survival: don’t let any behemoths siphon off your gas.
有這些氣體就意味著Leo P 能不斷創造新恒星。所以這個小型星系無疑有光明的未來，只要它保持遵守生存法則第一條：堅決抵抗虹吸氣體的侵略行為。

Foraging for food in urban areas is on the rise. Not dumpster diving. Collecting fruits and herbs.
在城鎮區域採集食物正在興起。不是說翻垃圾桶，而是採集果實和香草。
Throughout cities, forgotten fruit trees still produce, well, produce. For example, there was a peach tree in my former backyard in Somerville, near Boston. And today there are even maps to some of those trees so foragers can take advantage of free produce that otherwise goes largely uneaten—by people, anyway. 
在眾多城市中，被遺忘的果樹們仍然開花結果。例如，我以前住在波士頓附近的薩默維爾時，我的花園中就有一棵桃樹。如今，有些地圖甚至標出了這些果樹，方便採集者們可以免費採集果實—反正如果沒人採，也沒有人會吃這些果子。
But after one member of what's called the League of Urban Canners in the Boston area was discovered to have relatively high levels of blood lead, researchers at Wellesley College decided to test urban fruit and herbs. They wanted to see if the fruit posed a threat due to lead or other contaminants in urban soils. 
然而，在所謂的城市製罐者聯盟的一位成員檢出血鉛相對水平偏高後，韋爾斯利大學的研究人員決定對城市中的水果與草藥進行檢測。他們想知道城市地區的土壤污染是否使這些食物成為一種威脅。 
The League of Urban Canners provided 166 samples of foraged fruit, including apples, peaches, and cherries, and herbs. The scientists dehydrated samples in a manner similar to that of the urban canners, and they compared those specimens to commercially available fruit. 
城市製罐者聯盟的成員提供了166種食物樣本，包括了蘋果，桃子，櫻桃與各種香草。研究人員將樣本脫水，以模仿製罐者的食物的狀態。他們將這些樣本與市場上的水果做比較。 
Apples did indeed contain lead. But the amount in an average apple was significantly lower than what the EPA considers safe in a day's supply of tap water.
