Alpha Centauri

The star, Alpha Centauri is the closest star besides our sun. Besides Sunday, I play basketball every morning.

除了太阳之外，半人马座a星离地球最近。除星期天外，我每天早上打篮球。

At the news conference, Hawking, along with Russian billionaire investor Yuri Milner and a group of scientists, detailed a new project that aims to send a multitude of tiny, wafer-size spaceships into space to the neighboring star system Alpha Centauri.

在新闻发布会上，霍金和俄罗斯亿万富翁投资人尤里·米尔纳以及许多科学家一起，对这个全新的太空项目进行详细讲解。该项目计划建造大批微型星际飞船，并将其发射至临近的半人马座阿尔法星。

If we aresuccessful, a flyby mission could reach Alpha Centauri about 20 years afterlaunch, and send back images of any planets discovered in the system.

如果我们成功的话，这个飞掠任务将会在发射后二十年左右到达半人马座阿尔发星，并发送回来在那个星系中发现的行星的图片。

the Kuiper belt; Oort cloud; Alpha Centauri star; Perseus Arm; Milky Way galaxy; other nearby galaxies including theAndromeda galaxy; the cosmic web; cosmic microwave radiation; and, at the very edges of the image, quark-gluon plasma produced by the Big Bang.

环绕着的是内外环行星、柯伊伯带、奥尔特云、半人马座阿尔法星系、英仙座星系、银河系，其它附近星系包括有仙女座星系，还有宇宙网、宇宙微波辐射，以及最边缘大爆炸产生的夸克胶子等离子体。

If these tiny spaceships travel at 20 percent the speed of light, they'll be able to reach Alpha Centauri in just 20 years, Milner said.

米尔纳表示，如果这些微型星际飞船能够以1/5的光速行驶，那么它们就有望在20年之内到达阿尔法星。

Speaking at the Tencent WE Summit in Beijing, Hawking appealed to investors to back his plans to travel to Alpha Centauri.

他在北京的腾讯WE大会上发言时，请投资者们资助他前往半人马座α星的太空项目。

The nearest star outside the solar system is called Alpha Centauri.

太阳系之外距离我们最近的恒星是比邻星(人马座阿尔法星).

Such a system could reach Mars in less than an hour, or reach Pluto in days, pass Voyager in under a week and reach Alpha Centauri in just over 20 years.

这种飞船可以在不到一个小时的时间内到达火星，几天内即可到达冥王星，不到一周就能经过“旅行者”号探测器，并可在20多年后到达半人马座α

The third victory condition is to be the first civilization to construct a spaceship to colonize Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system to Earth.

最后就是空间竞赛，第一个完成向射手座阿尔法星发射殖民火箭的文明将获得胜利。
