美國明年度的太空梭計畫規模逐漸縮減，很多人會問接下來要做些什麼，答案並非另一種太空梭，而是小型的太空船，名為獵戶座號。約翰‧札瑞拉帶我們瞧瞧。
When the U.S. Space Shuttle Program winds down next year, many will ask what’s next. Well, the answer is not another type of shuttle but a small craft called the Orion. John Zarrella gives us a tour.
這裡就是未來的內部，這是獵戶座號太空船的實體模型。如果說太空梭是太空船界的豪華禮車，那麼獵戶座號就是賓士 Smart 迷你車了。 它的設計就是要比太空梭更小、更便宜、更安全，並能到達更遠的地方。
This is the inside of the future. It’s a mockup of the Orion spacecraft. If the shuttle was the limo of spacecraft, then Orion is, well, the Smart car, designed to be much smaller, cheaper, safer than shuttle, and to go a heck of a lot farther.
我們希望在2015年時能進行載人飛行。在那之後，就只是我們接下來要去哪裡而已了，因為這是個多用途的載具，而且它能到達任何地方。

自從阿波羅號登月任務結束之後，人類除了環繞地球或是前往太空站以外，就沒有到過任何地方了。獵戶座號就像是吃了大力丸的阿波羅號，它也能到那些地方，但是它存在的真正原因是最終要帶太空人前往月球，也可能是火星。獵戶座號的第一趟外太空任務可能會是前往一個名叫 2008EA9 的小行星。
Since the end of the Apollo moon missions, no humans have gone anywhere but circling the earth or to the space station. Orion, Apollo on steroids, could go there, too, but its real reason for being is to eventually take astronauts to the Moon, perhaps Mars. Its first deep-space mission could be to an asteroid called 2008EA9.

有時候，有些人對我們提出嚴厲的指控，但這些指控究竟是什麼呢？問題發生在來自巴基斯坦的移民之間，但他們……來自巴基斯坦的某個人打了另一個來自巴基斯坦的傢伙，是因為他們自己的事由，結果他卻說了些責怪我們之類的話。我們有證據。你可以自己去探究看看。
Sometimes there have been some big accusations about us and in the end what was it?

Maybe they are protecting themselves like people who are. . .
現在你是在提出辯解嗎？
And now you’re explaining it?
