即使是科学研究,也得对我们的出资人,也就是纳税人负责 Science must be accountable to the people paying for it, the taxpayers.
我们不能再把钱浪费在天上掉馅饼的臆想中了 We must stop wasting money on pie-in-the-sky abstractions
钱要用在刀刃上,要出实效 and spend it on practical, measurable ways
要让出资人实实在在感觉到生活品质的提升 to improve the lives of the people who are paying.
而不是用在L波段和球状星团上! Not unlike my L-band, globular clusters work.
等等,你的意思是马上就会砍掉所有的纯学术项目? You want to do away with all pure research now?
应用科学有什么不好的?还能赚外快! What's wrong with science being practical? Even profitable?
没什么不好,只要你的动机 Nothing, as long as your motive
是寻求真理,这也正是科学的本来目的 is the search for truth. Which is what the pursuit of science is.
哦,话从这种人嘴里说出来还挺有意思 That's an interesting position from a man
例如这位与邪恶科技对立阵营的 on a crusade against the evils of technology

我一直在听着它们呢 I listen to them a lot.
它是一颗超新星的残骸 It's a remnant of a supernova.
你什么时候开始想当个天文学家的? When did you know you wanted to be an astronomer?
在八岁那年吧 When I was about eight years old
那天黄昏时分,我指着天空问父亲:"那颗亮亮的恒星是什么?" I was watching the sunset, I asked Dad "What's that bright star over there?"
他说,那其实不是恒星,它实际上 He said that it wasn't a star. It was
是一颗名为"金星"的行星 a whole planet called Venus
很快就会在那边升起来 which should be over there soon.
他说"你知道它为什么会叫金星吗? He said, "You know why they called it Venus?
因为他们认为它是那么美丽,闪闪发光 Because they thought it was so beautiful and glowing.
但他们不知道 But they didn't know
那颗星球上满是 that it's filled with
有毒气体和硫酸雨 " deadly gases and sulfuric acid rain."
哇,我当时就立志一定要当一名天文学家了!" Wow, I thought, "This is it! I'm hooked!"
那里有四千亿颗恒星 There are four hundred billion stars out there
这还只是在我们的银河系里 just in our galaxy alone.
只要百万分之一的恒星存在行星 If only one out of a million of those had planets
只要其中百万分之一存在生命 if just one out of a million of those had life
再只要其中百万分之一存在智慧生命 and if just one out of a million of those had intelligent life
那就有一百万个文明世界 there would be literally millions of civilizations out there
如果没有的话 If there wasn't
那就似乎有点太浪费空间啦 it'd be an awful waste of space.
阿门 Amen.
就这样,我躺在那里,凝望天空 So I was lying there, just looking at the sky.
随后我感觉到了点什么,我弄不明白的东西 And then I felt something. I don't know.
但我知道我从此将不再孤独 All I know is that I wasn't alone.
我平生第一次生出那种无所畏惧 For the first time in my life I wasn't scared of nothing
视死如归的情绪来 not even dying.
那即是神 It was God.
难道不可能 And there's no chance that
这种体验是来自于你身体或心灵上的需求? you had this experience because some part of you needed to have it?

不是的 No.

然后呢? And?
我总是爱问些讨人嫌的问题,诸如 I kept asking all these really annoying questions like
Cain,实为"该隐",《圣经》中亚当与夏娃的大儿子
"凯恩夫人是打哪儿来的?"之类的 "Where did Mrs. Cain come from?"
过不多久,他们就要求我父亲 And pretty soon they asked my dad
方便的话,就把我关家里别放出来了 if he wouldn't mind keeping me home from now on.
你父亲? Your dad
是这位吗? Is it this guy?
对 Yeah.
你们很亲近吧? You're close to him, aren't you?
曾经是,我九岁时他就过世了 I was. He died when I was nine years old.
我也不知道母亲是什么模样 I never got to know my mother.

不,我想不行 No, I don't think so.
爱丽,我哪儿做错了吗? Ellie, did I miss something?
哦,你没做错什么 No.
见鬼,要迟到了! Shit, I'm late!
我跟肯特说过十点半到的 I told Kent that I'd be there at 10:30.
我并不是逼你 I'm not trying to push you.

就待在这儿 Just hang out
接着睡,冰箱里有吃的 and sleep in. There's food in the fridge.
我怎么找你? How can I reach you?

同时,你也写不出有价值的论文,别人更不会在意你的看法 In the meantime, you won't be taken seriously.

离正式下文还有三个月 We've got 3 months till the paperwork goes through.
好吧,我再去拉个别的赞助 I'll start looking for other funding.
正视现实行吗?就这一次,爱丽,我们输了 Could you face reality? Just this once? We lost.
结束了 It's over.
行啊 Fine.
我绝不罢休 I'm not stopping.
实在不行我就自己单干,之前也不是没干过 If I have to, I'll go it alone. I've done it before.
今晚我的嘉宾是作家兼神学家帕尔默·乔斯 My guest tonight is author and theologian Palmer Joss.
他已成为一位心灵顾问,近来更是白宫的常客 He's become a spiritual counselor, and a recent fixture at the White House.
"上帝的使节",纽约时报这么评论他 "God's Diplomat," according to The New York Times.
他的新书《失落的信念》现居该报评出的 His latest book, "Losing Faith" is currently number one
畅销书榜首 on that publication's bestseller list.
感谢您的光临,您的经历很不寻常 Thanks for being here. You've had quite a ride

您是否反技术,反科学呢? Are you anti-technology and anti-science?
不,根本不是 No, not at all.
我的问题一向如一: The question that I'm asking is this:
追根溯源,科技的进步 Are we happier
是否让整个人类社会 as a human race? Is the world fundamentally a better place
变得更幸福了呢? because of science and technology?
我们在家购物,在网上冲浪 We shop at home, we surf the Web
但与此同时,我们反而感觉更空虚了 but at the same time we feel emptier

信源序列怎么办? What shall I do about the source queue?
不管它,从初次接收处计量序列 Forget it and hold the queue.
准备好,信号一旦校准就立即设置手动监控目标频率 Get ready to set the target frequency to manual the second we're aligned.
收到吗?我要你完成校正之后马上用二十七号天线获取离轴信号 Do you copy? I want you to go off-axis on 27 the second we're there!
维持原有接收频率不变! And leave the LO frequency where it is!

应该不是 But I doubt it.
看看跟踪单元探测器的读数如何 See if F.U.D.D.'s reading it too.
威利,接回去,给我离轴信号源资料 Patch it back and give me the off-axis.

总之,绝不是地源信号 Whatever it is, it ain't local.
方位? Position?
利用干涉量度分析法判断信号源在天琴座附近 I checked interferometry. Somewhere in Lyra.
-织女星? -不可能啊! -Vega? -Can't be!
那儿距地球只有二十六光年 It's only 26 light years away.
-峰值强度? -这就来 -Peak intensity? -Coming up!
织女星 Vega.
织女星,在阿雷西博的时候我就扫过好多次,从来就没有收到过 Vega. I scanned it a bunch of times at Arecibo. It was always negative.
有啦! Got it!
央(Jy):天体射电流量密度的单位,以1932年发现发射自银河系中心 的无线电波的美国人卡尔.央斯基命名,这一发现标志着射电天文学的诞生.

好了好了,又开始了! It's restarting.
慢着慢着,这是数字 Wait a minute. Those are numbers.
这是三,之前是二 That was 3, before it was 2.
十进制,咱们这就开始跟着计数 Base 10 numbers. Count and see how far we get.
一个 One.
七 Seven.
都是质数 Those are primes.
二,三,五,七,全都是质数 2, 3, 5, 7 are all prime numbers.
这绝不可能是自然现象! No way that's a natural phenomenon!
冷静下来,把织女星的有关资料找出来 Let's just calm down and pull up the star file on Vega.
没道理嘛,这个星系太年轻了 It doesn't make any sense. The system is too young.
它不可能具备行星系 It can't have a planetary system
更不用说生命或者技术文明 let alone life or a technological civilization.
也许他们本不是那里的,也许只是路过 Maybe they're not from there, they're visiting.
飞船?这个星系到处是碎石,会给砸得稀烂的 Spacecraft? This system's full of debris. It'd get clobbered.
只要他们用激光炮和光子鱼雷不就得啦 Not if they used their laser blasters and photon torpedoes.
-别开玩笑啊!威利 -那又该怎么讲嘛! -That's not funny. -How else can we explain it!
威利说得对 要是我们公布之后发现错了 He's right. If we go public with this and we're wrong
就全完了,我们就完蛋了 it's over. We're cooked.
要是肯特在这儿就好了 I wish Kent was here.
无论如何,我们都得做点什么,织女星就快要落下去了 Whatever it is, let's do something. Vega will set.
与伊安.波德瑞克连线中

一百一十二央 We've got 112 janskys.
信号源定位呢? Do you have a source location yet?
与伊安.波德瑞克连线中
澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究会控制室
毫无疑问 We put it right smack in the middle.
是织女星 Vega.
谢谢伊安,继续跟踪,再联络 Thanks. Keep tracking and we'll get back to you.
好的 Right-o.
好的,一百零一,脉冲序列是 101. The pulse sequenced
从二到一百零一间的全部质数 through every prime number between 2 and 101.
现在我们该通知谁呢? Who do we call now?
所有人 Everybody.
谣言四起,预示着极不寻常的事 The rumors are flying, the implications extraordinary.
近日,科学家探测到一个来自外太空的未知信号 Detection of an unidentified
该信号是否由智慧生物发出尚未可知 radio source from space can neither be confirmed nor denied.
但军方人员已驻扎于某甚大天线阵附近 But the military arriving
有消息称他们已经与 Sources close to the VLA report they have been contacted
来自太阳系外的智慧生命取得了联络 by some form of intelligent being
再次声明,消息可靠性未知 living outside our solar system. Again, there is no confirmation.
我要所有这些人都离开这里 I want all of these people out of here.
那姑娘呢? Where's the girl?
全世界二十二个观测站 22 stations worldwide
均证实确有其事 now confirm the signal.
织女星现处于地平线以下 Vega's now below our horizon.
你们正听到的信号来自俄国 You're hearing the signal from the Russian
找解密人员来 Get decryption people here.
鲁纳卡尔斯基正在加州理工访问 Lunacharsky's visiting at Cal Tech.
给我解释一下 Explain this to me.
既然信号源如此复杂,为什么却用这种小儿科的数字来表述? If the source of the signal is so sophisticated why the remedial math?
为什么不干脆说英语? Why not just speak English?
也许因为这颗行星上百分之七十的人都讲其他语言 Maybe because 70% of the planet speaks other languages.
数学是宇宙里唯一真正通用的语言 Mathematics is the only truly universal language.
使用质数传播也绝非偶一为之 It's no coincidence that they're using primes.
我没听明白 I don't get it.
所谓质数 Prime numbers.
就是只能被自身和一整除的自然数 Integers only divisible by themselves and 1.
呃,我们认为这也许是一种醒目的信标,一个宣言 We think this may be a beacon, an announcement
是为了提醒我们注意 to get our attention.
如果仅是为了提醒你,你得到了,只有一点疑问:织女星… If it's attention you want, you got that. One thing: Vega.
多年来,人们对织女星的观测毫无结果 People have looked at Vega for years, with no results.
昨天他们却开始广播质数了,为什么呢? Yesterday they start broadcasting primes. Why?
并不是昨天 It's hardly yesterday.
信号已经传播了二十六年 The signal's been transmitting for 26 years.

是不是超给力? Is this great?
-这都是些什么人? -天晓得 -Who are all these people? -I have no idea.
坐,我们需要你帮忙作频谱分析 Sit down. We need help with the spectrum analysis.
-我这就干 -耳机 -I'll get on it. -Headsets.
那就让我们开门见山吧,可以吗? I'll just come right to the point.
你向全世界公布此事大大危害了国家安全 Announcing this all over the world may well be a breach of national security.
可这又不是私人电话 It's not a person-to-person call.
你以为一个文明会仅为美国人发送这条信息吗? You think a civilization sending this message intends it just for Americans?
我只是认为您或许应事先向我们请示 You might have consulted us.
-因信号内容可能非常敏感 -你想把质数也保密啊? -The contents could be very sensitive. -You want to classify prime numbers?
容我解释一下…… Ah,my,please…
由于地球在自转,我们每天仅能观测织女星数个小时 Due to earth's rotation, we're in line with Vega only hours a day.
监测信号唯一的办法是与地球上其他观测站合作 The only way to monitor the signal is to cooperate with other stations.
如果不是阿洛维博士反应迅速,我们很可能会丢失关键数据 If Dr. Arroway hadn't acted quickly, we'd have lost key elements.
好吧,他们已经拿到质数了嘛 Fine, they've got the primes.
可如果再接收到更重要的讯号 But if a more significant transmission is to come
我们需要同行帮忙接收和解码… We need help to receive and decode.
您明白我的工作是保护… You understand that my job is to protect
-嘘!听! -听见了 -Listen. -I hear it.
听到什么了? Hear what?
谐波,是指大于基波频率整数倍的各次分量,通常称作"高次谐波"
是谐波 Harmonic.
对喽!我让威利请拉坦天文台调谐至8.9247千兆赫 Bingo! I had Willie ask Rattan to retune to 8.9247 gigahertz.
拉坦天文台,位于俄联邦北高加索地区,拥有一个口径达576米的大型射电天文望远镜(RATAN-600)
那里的信号比这里强 There's a lot more here.
-监测是否存在双边带信号 -已经着手 -Get on the negative sideband. -I'm already on it.
那是什么? What is it?
又一个信号! Another signal!
基波信号倍频处看上去像存在第二个信号 A second signal at double the frequency. Looks like
拿电视机来! Get a TV monitor!
接到图像处理器上 Patch it into the image processor.
接新信号数据是吧? Want the new data?
是的,我们刚录制的那个 Yeah, the new one we just recorded.
大卫,请向我解释一下吧 David, explain this to me, please.
伴随质数的又一个信号,看上去像是电视图像 There's another signal. Looks like a TV transmission.
准备好了! We're hot.
帮我个忙,拉上窗帘,这儿太晃眼了 Go get the blinds. There is a lot of glare.
已经接通了 You're patched in.
绝对是图像信号,我们要设法稳定它 It's definitely an image. Let's try and stabilize it.
你觉得会是什么,老费? What do you make of that?
这是交错的两幅帧,我现在校准其中之一 It's two different interlaced frames. I'm framing one.
-只是噪音 -试下另一帧 -It's just noise. -Trying frame two.
取到偏移载波,应该是音频编码 I've got an offset carrier. I think it's audio.
插上外放! Plug it in!
把这段居中 Center that segment.

或者说"胜利万岁"(纳粹口号),我们同为高等种族" Or,"Sieg Heil,you're our kind of people."
哦,我可不这么认为 Oh,I don't think so.
等等,这跟希特勒的政治立场毫无关联 Wait a minute,Hitler's politics have nothing to do with this.

对今天的非常事件作出通报 about today's extraordinary events
且不接受记者采访 and that he won't be taking any questions from the press.
午安 Good afternoon.
我非常高兴与各位 I'm glad to be joined by my
科学技术专家学者们共同出席今天的发布会 Science and Technology Advisor.
这是他们这些世界顶尖科学家们 This is the product of years of exploration
多年探索研究的成果 by some of the world's most distinguished scientists.
如同所有的新发现一样 Like all discoveries
本次科学发现同样会接受复核 this one will continue to be reviewed
检验 examined
以及审核 and scrutinized.
它必须得到科学界的共同证实 It must be confirmed by other scientists.
然而已明确的是 But clearly
调查中的部分实例显示… the fact that this is being explored is a vindication
老费,什么情况?不是说让爱丽接受采访的吗? Fish, what is the story over here? I thought Ellie was supposed to be on.
不清楚 I don't know.
呃,伙计们 Guys?
还记得我们以为的噪音帧吗? Those interlaced frames we thought were noise?
那也是结构化信息,我听出来了 This has structure. I'm hearing structure.
如果本发现被确认 If this discovery is confirmed
那将是科学界迄今为止在宇宙探索中 it will be one of the most stunning insights into our universe
最令人震撼的发现! that science has ever uncovered.
它的寓意将是极其深远 Its implications are as far-reaching
和鼓舞人心的 and awe-inspiring as can be imagined.
虽然它回答了一些老问题（比如地外是否存在智慧生命) Even as it promises answers to some of our oldest questions
同时却也提出了一些 it poses still others
甚至更为接近宇宙本质的新问题 even more fundamental.
我们将继续深入研究 We will continue to listen closely
那个信号的涵义 to what it has to say
正如我们将永不停步 as we continue the search for answers
踏在求知之路上一样 and for knowledge
这是人类过去一直在做的 that is as old as humanity itself
在未来的日子里也将依然如故 but essential to our people's future.
谢谢 Thank you.
请问政府是否打算重新评估国防安全等级? Is there a renewed assessment of security threat?
我先作简短通报,再回答你们的问题 I'll answer your questions after a few corrections.
该信号于上周五 The message was received Friday
山区标准时间(MST),美国和加拿大落基山脉地区的冬季时间 比格林尼治时间晚七小时,与之对应的是山区夏令时(Mountain Daylight Time)
山区标准时上午六点三十一分接收到 at 6:31 a.m. Mountain Standard Time.
信号大多以数学语言来表述 It was largely mathematical
与此前的报道不同 and in spite of reports to the contrary
该信息表面上看来完全是善意的 appears to be completely benign in nature.
我重申,该信息没有敌意 Let me say that again. The message is completely benign.
总统已与各国领导人沟通 The President has contacted the world's heads of state
并已采取一切可能的防范措施 and every security measure is being taken.
为更详细介绍过去四十八小时里发生的事件 To better explain the events of the last 48 hours
有请领导此次重大科学发现的… is the leader of the scientific team that made this remarkable discovery
大卫.庄慕林博士,总统特别科学顾问,为大家讲解 Dr. David Drumlin, special Science Advisor to the President.
谢谢,瑞秋 Thank you, Rachel.
大家好 Hello.
一九三六年,人们曾以极微弱的电视讯号 In 1936 a very faint television signal
转播了奥运会开幕式 transmitted the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games as a show
用以展示德国的先进科技 of German superior technology.
该信号以光速离开地球,并于二十六年之后 That signal left Earth at the speed of light and 26 years later
到达我们所命名的织女星附近 arrived in the vicinity of the star we call Vega.
该信号经高度增强之后,又回传给了我们 That signal has been sent back to us hugely amplified
并附带有毋庸置疑的智慧文明标记 an unmistakable sign of intelligence.
我已在线,肯特,说吧 I'm Online Kent, go ahead.
希特勒的那个电视信号用的是每秒二十五帧画面,而我们收到的却是五十帧 The Adolf transmission used 25 frames per second but we're receiving 50.
于是我们在另外二十五帧应用了各种搜索算法 So we put the other 25 through search algorithms.
结果发现在每一帧的顶部都有序列标记 We found a series of markers on the top of each frame.
-准备好了吗? -是,继续! -Are you ready? -Yeah, go ahead!
传过去,威利 Send it, Willie.
好,来了 Here it comes.
它是数字化的 It's digital
海量的数据,以初始信号频率的倍数递增 massive amounts of data which extend right to the higher harmonics.
中大奖喽! Jackpot!
好,正如各位所见到 All right, as you'll see
与原希特勒图像交错的帧 interlaced with the frames of the original Hitler image
那些我们当时以为是噪声 we found these sections.
的那些信号帧,事实上是数据 We thought they were noise, but they're actually data
极为庞大的数据 huge amounts of it.
与取自原信号的数据综合比对 When we combine this with the data from the original signal
我们得到了这些加密的文本 we get these encrypted pages of text.
每一页互不相同,目前已截取出一万多页 No two are alike and we've uncovered over 10,000 already.
那代表什么涵义呢,博士? What does it mean, Doctor?
不清楚,一切皆有可能 We have no idea. It could be anything.
出自阿西莫夫的科幻小说《银河帝国》系列
也许是《银河百科全书》第一卷 Volume 1 of an Encyclopedia Galactica.
是外星人的殖民指南 Instructions for us on their colonization procedures.
或者摩西几十亿诫 Moses with a few billion new commandments.
解码要用多久? How long will it take to decode it?
没有密钥,可能永远解不开 It could take forever. We really need a primer
我们需要最好的解密专家 We need to get the best decryption people we have.
我计划使用甚大天线阵作指挥中心 I intend to use the VLA as my command post.
与此同时,我的部门已拟就初步预算 In the meantime, my office has made out a preliminary budget.
等一等 Wait a minute.
这是私人赞助项目 This is a privately-funded operation.
我们从政府租借到天线时间 We lease dish time from the government
博士,我认为在这件事情上,国家利益高于一切 This is a clear-cut case of eminent domain.
我将向总统建议此项目立即纳入军事化管理 I'm recommending to the President we militarize this project.
什么?!这是我的项目! What?! This is my project!
没有人比我更清楚详情,大卫,告诉他们我在这上面花费了多长时…! Nobody knows more about this than I do. David, tell them how many years…
对不起!能否请诸位冷静? Excuse me! Could we calm down here?
我建议庄慕林博士协调解码工作 I'm going to recommend that Dr. Drumlin coordinate the decryption effort.
而鉴于阿洛维博士这方面的长期经验 But in light of Dr. Arroway's long experience in these matters
目前,暂由她负责甚大天线阵的工作 for the time being, she will direct operations at the VLA
同时您必须保证未来一切发现将严格保密 understanding that future discoveries will be kept in strict confidence
以待总统 until such time as the President
决定最合适的行动方式,清楚了? can decide the most suitable course of action. Understood?
好的 Yes.
CNN突发新闻 This is CNN Breaking News.
总统称来自织女星的信号是 The President called the message from Vega
"最令人震撼的发现" " a stunning insight into our universe"
近日,参与宗教活动的民众暴增39个百分点 Attendance at religious services has risen a dramatic 39% in recent days.
同时,新纳粹主义示威者与警方发生冲突 as police clashed with neo-Nazi protesters.
好啊,原来其他行星上还有的生命 So, there's life on other planets.
乖乖,这可真要改变"宇宙小姐"的竞选喽,是不是? Boy, this will really change the Miss Universe contest.
各国卫生官员担心织女星的信号 Health officials worldwide are concerned that the message from Vega
有可能诱发集体自杀行为 might trigger a rash of mass suicides
1997年3月26日,美加州圣地亚哥"天堂之门"邪教的39名教徒集体服毒自杀
有可能与近期发生在圣地亚哥的邪教自杀事件类似 not unlike recent cult deaths near San Diego
即使是科学家也必须承认 Even a scientist must admit
它具有相当大的宗教寓意 there are some pretty serious religious overtones to all this.
让我们来听听来自正以私人名义研究 Here's someone whose organization
该信号所承载的宗教涵义的 is accused of conducting its own inquisition:
理查德.兰克,保守党党魁 Richard Rank, head of the Conservative Coalition.
谢谢 Thank you.
这是又一活生生的铁证:科学正在侵袭我们的信仰 This is yet another example of science intruding into matters of faith.
这也就是说,他们早就收到了 This means they have been reacting to TV signals
来自30年代的电视信号,只是隔了一段时间才回应 from the 1930's. They're just getting them.
如果他们是芝加哥小熊队球迷该有多失望 Imagine how disappointed they'll be if they're Cubs fans.
我们现在转到杰瑞米.罗斯 We now go to Jeremy Roth, who is reporting

能排列的 They do
要像织女星人那样思考 if you think like a Vegan.
一个更高等级的外星文明 An alien intelligence has got be more advanced
意味着高效率信息传递,不只是多层次的 and that means efficiency functioning on multiple levels
更是 and in multiple
多维度的 dimensions.
哦,原来如此! Yes, of course!
密钥呢? Where's the primer?
接着往下看 You'll see.
每个三维页面都含有一部分密钥 Every three-dimensional page contains a piece of the primer.
它一直在那里,就在你的面前 There it was all the time, staring you in the face.
信息本身就隐含了解密的线索 Buried within the message itself is the key to decoding it.
在信息矩阵层间,我们得到如下基本方程式: Within the layering of the matrix, we have these basic equations:
依靠这些基础信息,他们给与我们一种 So with this very elementary foundation, they have given us a kind of
通用科学词汇表 general scientific vocabulary.
这样我们就得到表示"是""否"的符号 We now have the symbols for true and false
这就是关键 This was the key
使得我们能够破译他们的语言 that allowed us to decipher their language
包括物理、几何与化学,放下一张,爱丽 for physics, geometry, chemistry. Next frame, Ellie.
是的…我们同样地处理了余下信息 Yes, and when we apply this to the rest of the message
并找到这个 we find this.
那看上去是工程图纸,就像是建筑蓝图 Those look like engineering schematics, almost like blueprints.
没错! Yes.
我们相信,这些信息文本的目的就是要用来指导我们 It is our belief that the message contains instructions
去建造某个东西,某种机器 for building something, some kind of machine.
机器?干什么用的,博士? A machine? That does what, Doctor?
我们不知道,也许是某种 We don't know. It might be some type
高级通讯设备,或者一种教学仪器 of advanced communication device, or a teaching machine of some kind.
或者是 Or it might be
某种交通工具 some kind of a transport.
-交通工具? -尚无证据 -Transport? -There's no proof of that.
其实,您不知道那是什么,那就什么都有可能 The fact is you don't know what it does. It could be anything.
也许是个特洛伊木马,一旦建成就有织女星大军从里面冲出来 A Trojan Horse. We build it and out pours the entire Vegan army.
我们能担得起风险吗?这很可能是件武器 Why risk the personnel? It could be a weapon.
对,某种给人类带来末日的机器 Right. Some kind of a Doomsday Machine.
没错!每次当他们探测到一个新的文明 Every time they detect a new civilization
就从太空传真图纸给那边 they fax construction plans from space.
让我们这些可怜虫自己造出来,然后把自己炸回老家 We poor saps build this thing and blow ourselves to kingdom come.
这些信息很明显是不带有敌意的呀 There's no reason to believe their intentions are hostile.
外星人就一定是好人吗?博士? Why is it the egghead position that aliens are always benign?
我们对他们没有威胁 We pose no threat to them.
就好比我们没必要兴师动众 It'd be like us going out of our way
去非洲消灭蚁丘上的微生物一样 to destroy microbes on an anthill in Africa.
有趣的类比 Interesting analogy.
如果我们真消灭了非洲蚁丘上的几个微生物,你会觉得内疚吗? How guilty would we feel if we destroyed a few microbes on an anthill in Africa?
我希望你是对的,博士 I hope you're right Dr.
真的 I really do.
但是,我有责任抵御对美国人民的任何威胁 But my job is to protect American lives from any threat
因此我必定要做最坏的打算 so I am obligated to assume the worst.
是的,我不能不同意 Yes, and I am forced to agree with you.
我的问题是这样: My problem is this:
该消息的内容在道德上最大程度也是模糊的 The content of that message is morally ambiguous at best.
我们内部研究结果显示此事的支持力相当软弱 Our internal numbers show support for this is incredibly soft.
假如总统继续如此 If the President stays this course
他的支持率就会跌至冰点 his numbers will be going south like ducks in winter.
无稽之谈! This is nuts!
请原谅 Excuse me
小姐 Miss.
我们根本不了解这些生物的价值观 We know nothing of these creatures' values.
我们甚至不知道他们是否信仰上帝 We don't even know whether they believe in God.
这根本是胡搅蛮缠,如果… This doesn't make any sense. If
请原谅,阿洛维博士 Excuse me, Dr. Arroway.
我们今天在此不会压制任何意见 We won't be suppressing any opinions here today.
不,当然不,我明白 No, of course not. I understand.
我本来是说 What I meant to say
该消息是用科学语言写成的 is the message was written in the language of science.
如果它本身具有宗教性,那就应该采取必要的形式 If it was religious in nature, it should have taken the form
《旧约圣经》中,耶稣基督曾在燃烧的荆棘中向摩西展示神迹
比如燃烧的荆棘或者自天而降的圣音 of a burning bush or a voice from the sky.
然而,从天而降的圣音 But a voice from the sky
正是由你发现的,阿洛维博士 is exactly what you found, Doctor Arroway.
抱歉迟到了,夫人 I'm sorry I'm late, ma'am.
我同意兰克先生说的,在这件事情上 I agree with Mr. Rank that there are unavoidable
是不可避免会涉及到宗教的 religious implications at stake.
但也不意味着我们要杞人忧天 But that doesn't justify being an alarmist.
我希望我们能找到一个共同的立场 I hope that we can find a common ground
打破相互间的隔阂 break through obstacles that may have kept us apart.
听着,我需要特别声明一点 Listen, I need to make one thing very clear.
这儿挺热闹嘛 Our organization will not be placated with flowery New Age rhetoric
总统先生! Mr. President!
总统会晤了他的高级顾问们 The President met with top advisors

爱丽,那么招待会再见了? See you at the reception?
-是啊,我不会错过的 -太好了 Yeah, I wouldn't miss it.

当然可以 Certainly.
我有个大麻烦 I have a big problem.

你真美,爱丽 You look beautiful, Ellie.
-你也很帅 -我认真的 -So do you. -You really do.
我读过你的书 I read your book.
又来了 Here we go.
想让我背一段吗? You want me to quote you?
"很讽刺在于—— "Ironically
人类真正渴求的东西 the thing people are most hungry for
却正是 -meaning
科学没办法提供的" -is the one thing science hasn't been able to give them."
是的,是的 Yeah,yeah…
你瞧,就像你说的 It's like you're saying that
科学乃神的终结者 science killed God.
如果最终科学揭示出 What if science simply revealed
神根本就不存在怎么办? that He never existed in the first place?
我想我们得呼吸点新鲜空气 I think we need to get some air.
再来几杯这个 And a few more of these.
谢谢 Thank you.
外面有点冷哦 A little chilly out here.
是啊,景观怡人 Yeah, this is nice.
我想到个绝的 I got one for you.
奥卡姆剃刀原理,即“简单有效原理”,由14世纪英格兰逻辑学家奥卡姆提出
奥卡姆剃刀原理，听说过吗? Occam's Razor. Ever heard of it?
霍卡姆剃刀?倒像是恐怖片 Hoccam's Razor. Sounds like some slasher movie.
不,"奥卡姆剃刀"是一个基本科学原理,即: No, Occam's Razor is a basic scientific principle which says:
同等状态下,最简单的解释往往最正确 Things being equal, the simplest explanation tends to be right.
有道理 Makes sense to me.
那么哪一个更有道理呢? So what's more likely?
谢谢 Thank you.
全能的上帝创造宇宙 An all-powerful God created the universe
而不提供他存在的证据? then decided not to give any proof of His existence?
或者 Or
根本没有神,是我们创造了神 that He doesn't exist at all and that we created Him
这样我们才不觉得渺小和孤独 so we wouldn't feel so small and alone.
不知道 I don't know.
无法想象,没有神的世界我该怎么生活 I couldn't imagine living in a world where God didn't exist.
我也不想活在那样的地方 I wouldn't want to.
你怎么知道那不是自身的幻觉? How do you know you're not deluding yourself?
我是说,对我而言 I mean, for me
我需要证明 I'd need proof.
证明? Proof?
你爱你父亲吧? Did you love your father?
你爸爸,你爱他吗? Your dad, did you love him?
是啊,非常爱 Yes. Very much.

到底谁去呀? Who goes?
那,倒是有点复杂,爱丽 Well, it's complicated.
-什么? -会成立一个国际候选人团队 -What? -They have formed a group of international candidates.
是的,它是你的发现 Now, it's your discovery.
正基于此,你在候选人名单中排名很靠前 They understand that. You're at the top of a very short list.
但是,他们将同时成立一个裁判委员会 But they're also forming a selection committee.
由学者、神学家、科学家、哲学家组成 It's made of scholars, theologians, scientists, philosophers
你是其中一员 You're on it.
是的,没错 I've been asked, yes.
那就意味着… I guess that means
你是裁判,我是备选者… that you're a selector, I'm a selectee and we can't
对 Yeah.
你不明白,爱丽,那只是… What you don't understand, Ellie, is
我懂 I understand.
爱丽,希望你理解,不管发生什么,我都… I want you to know, whatever happens, as far as I'm concerned
祝你走运 Good luck.
无论如何,千万别让他大权独揽 Whatever you do, make sure he doesn't monopolize the committee.
他不在裁判之列,爱丽 He is not on the committee, Ellie.
他刚刚辞职,他也想去 He just resigned. He wants to be the one to go.

这就是科学 Science, in this case.
阿洛维博士,尽管您表现得如此积极 Despite your obvious enthusiasm
但很多评价认为 there's been a lot of criticism
这种"积极"其实相当危险 that this endeavor is simply too dangerous.
某些批评甚至来自科学界 Some of that criticism from scientists.
一位诺贝尔奖获得者评论道,原话是: One Nobel Prize winner noted, his words:
"各种迹象表明 "There is every indication
这项工程已经超出我们的能力,一旦任务失败 that this is beyond our capabilities, that this endeavor will fail
机器的乘客或将付出生命的代价 " and that the Machine's occupant will pay for it with his life."
您如何回应? How do you respond?
发送这个信息的文明也许 This message is from a civilization that may be anywhere
比我们先进几百万乃至几十亿年 from hundreds to millions and millions of years ahead of us.
我相信如此高等的文明 I have to believe that an intelligence that advanced

你啊,爱丽,你自己呢? You, Ellie. You! You personally.
你有没有想过,这将会以你自己的生命为代价 By doing this, you're willing to give your life.
我愿意为此牺牲 You're willing to die for it.
为什么? Why?
从我记事开始,我就一直在寻求 From as long as I can remember, I've been searching for

你觉得呢? Don't you?
你是个勇敢无比的女人,爱丽 You're an incredibly brave woman, Ellie.
换句话说就是癫狂无比 Or incredibly nuts.
哦,帕尔默 Oh, Palmer
我有点不知所措了 I'm really confused.
我也一样 So am I.
我代表大家感谢您的耐心回答 I think I speak for us all when I thank you for your patience.
我个人问您最后一个问题,阿洛维博士 Myself, I have one final question, Dr.Arroway.
如果您遇到了织女星人 If you should meet these Vegans
假设只允许问他们一个问题 and were permitted only one question to ask of them
您会问什么? what would it be?
我想,我会问: I suppose it would be:
"你们是如何办到的? "How did you do it?
你们的进化历程,如何从科技萌芽期攀升至此高度… How did you evolve? How did you survive technological adolescence
却没有自我毁灭?" without destroying yourself?"
这就是我个人最希望得到回答的问题 That more than any other question is one I personally would like answered.
不错嘛,麦克 Not too bad, Mike.
与博格隆博士一样 I join Dr. Bergeron
我也要为您的耐心回答表示感谢,阿洛维博士 in expressing thanks for your patience, Dr. Arroway.
您的坦率和耐心给我们 We're all impressed with your candor
留下了深刻的印象 and your stamina.
我想我们该听听您的总结发言了 I think we're ready to move on to your final statement.
尊敬的主席,我还有一个问题 I have one more question.
请讲,乔斯先生 Yes, Mr. Joss.
您是否认为自己 Would you consider yourself
是一个灵性崇高的人? a spiritual person?
我不明白您想问的是什么? I don't understand the point of the question.
我自认自己是个有道德的人 I consider myself a moral person.
那个当然,不过,我想乔斯先生想问你的是… We're sure that's the case, but what Mr. Joss is in fact asking
您信仰上帝吗? Do you believe in God?
阿洛维博士 Dr Arroway
作为一名科学家 As a scientist
我依赖于经验证据,就此事而言 I rely on empirical evidence, and in this matter
我相信尚未有证据证实或否定 I don't believe that there's data either way.
那么,您的回答实际上就是:您不相信上帝 So your answer would in fact be that you don't believe in God.
我是不理解问题本身究竟有什么意义 I don't understand the relevance of the question.
阿洛维博士 Dr Arroway
这世上百分之九十五的人 95% of the world's population
都相信举头三尺有神明 believes in a Supreme Being in one form or another.
因此我觉得这个问题比什么都更有意义 I believe that makes the question more than relevant.
阿洛维博士？ Dr Arroway？
我相信 I believe
我相信我已经回答了这个问题 I believe I've already answered that question.
作为这个物种,也作为一个文明的一员 I'm proud of what we've achieved as a species
我为我们的成就而自豪 and as a civilization.
我会痛恨我们在最后一刻 I would hate to see everything we stand for
背叛千百世代以来为之奋斗的 all that we have fought for for a thousand generations
上帝所赐予我们的 all that God has blessed us with
一切 betrayed
仅仅因为我们挑选的代表不能够 in the final hour because we sent a representative who did not put our
把我们所珍惜的信仰置于首位 most cherished beliefs first.
谢谢大家 Thank you.
为什么那么做? Why'd you do it?
我们的工作是使选出的人可以代表全人类 Our job was to select someone to speak for everybody.
良心使我不能把票投给 I couldn't in good conscience vote for a person

我们亲切地叫它"埃尔莫" who we lovingly call Elmer.
记者们想问您几个问题 The press wants to ask you a few questions
紧接庄慕林博士之后 as soon as they're done with Dr. Drumlin.
座舱一旦解锁,便会释放大量能量 When we release the pod, a substantial amount of energy will be generated.
使用机器人,我们就能够监测压力及其它效应 We'll be able to monitor the stresses and effects
我们亲切地叫它 using our robot passenger, who we
埃尔莫 Iovingly call Elmer.
谢谢您 Thank you.
很荣幸 You're welcome.
那边已经准备好了 They're ready for you out at the site.
好,稍等一下 Yeah, just a minute.
-祝贺你,大卫 -真高兴你能来 -Congratulations.David -Glad you could come.
有点意外呢 Didn't expect to see you here.
噢,我又没离开 Well, I'm still
还在担任控制中心的总调度员 Crew Ops at the Control Center.
既然信息是我发现的,也许,他们认为我尚有一些公关价值吧 I suppose the fact that I discovered the message means I have PR value.
当然喽 Of course.
爱丽,我明白,你一定觉得这一切很不公平 I know you must think this is all very unfair.
或许我这么讲显得很轻描淡写 And maybe that's an understatement.
但你不知道的是,其实我是同意你的看法的 What you don't know is, I agree.
我也希望这个世界万事讲求公平 I wish the world was a place where fair was the bottom line
如此你在听证会上所展示的理想主义情结就能得到回报 where the idealism you showed at the hearing was rewarded
而不是用来当枪使 not taken advantage of.
可惜这个世界很现实 Unfortunately, we don't live in that world.
有意思 Funny
我原本相信现实是由我们人创造的 I always believed the world is what we make of it.
抱歉!庄慕林博士? Excuse me!
祝你一帆风顺 Good luck on the test.
谢谢 Thank you.

然后呢? what happens then?
一部分人认为,转环是类似加速器的装置 Some believe the rings function as some sort of an accelerator or something
它向座舱输送能量 sending its energy into the pod
让它以近光速驶离 making it rocket away at near light speed.
另一部分人认为它是打开多维空间通道的钥匙 Others believe it might open up a doorway to some other dimension.

乘员舱失去联络的时间不到一秒钟 the IPV was out of contact for only a fraction of a second.
是这样吗,博士? Isn't that correct, Doctor?
不到地球时间的一秒钟,是这样 A fraction of a second Earth time, yes.
地球时间? Earth time?
参议员,我认为当时这机器制造出一个虫洞 Senator, I believe that the Machine opened up a wormhole
可以穿越时空,也叫"爱因斯坦-罗森"桥 a tunnel through space-time, also known as an Einstein-Rossen Bridge.
根据广义相对论效应,我所经历的十八个小时 Due to the effect of general relativity,what I experienced as 18 hours
在地球上只不过是一瞬间 passed instantaneously on Earth.
虫洞目前只存在于理论推测中,不是吗? Isn't it true these wormholes are merely theoretical predictions?
且毫无证据表明它们的存在? There is no evidence they actually exist?
尚无直接证据,对的 There is no direct evidence, no.
告诉我,博士 Tell me
外星人为什么要自找麻烦? why would these aliens go to all this trouble?
带着你穿越数千光年,然后让你空着手回来? Bring you thousands of light years, then send you home without proof?
他们说,亿万年来都是这样操作的 They said it's how it's been done for billions of years.
你没有证据,因为他们不希望这样 You have no proof because they didn't want you to have any.
心理学界定义了一个现象:自强化妄想症 A phenomenon known in psychiatric circles as a self-reinforcing delusion.
你说我有妄想症? You think I was delusional?
我的确认为你可能患有某种症状,是的 I do think you may have suffered some kind of an episode. Yes, I do.
我打算提出另一个假说 I'd like to propose an alternate hypothesis
并且希望你能够科学地加以分析 and I'd like you to bring your scientific expertise to bear on it.
若要伪造来自织女星的信号 To fake a signal from Vega
你需要些什么? what would you need?
需要一颗卫星来传送信号,不过那不可能 You'd need a satellite to transmit it, but it would be impossible to
你需要的是一颗卫星,并能将它发射送入预定轨道 You'd need a satellite and launch capabilities to orbit it.
当然,至于那些信息,为了编造这些 And the message itself. To put something like this together
这样复杂,要求跨学科的 so complex, drawing on many disciplines
这可能吗? Would be impossible.
不可能吗?不可能吗? Impossible?
就没人能够达到这个要求吗? Is there anyone who might have been up to the challenge?
比如某人,具备高超的技术知识 Someone with extraordinary technical expertise
兼有巨大的经济实力 enormous financial resources
且性格乖张,想出这个点子不足为奇 someone perverse enough, eccentric enough to come up with the idea?
哈登? Hadden?
S·R·哈登 S. R. Hadden.
你是说这是 You're implying that this was
是一个骗局? 是他编造的? some kind of a hoax? That he engineered this?
S·R·哈登 S. R. Hadden
一个传奇般的掮客,为实现不朽所作的最后一搏; a legendary power broker in perhaps his final bid for immortality.
也许是为了开发新技术 Maybe he wanted to exploit new technologies
却让各国政府掏腰包; having world governments pick up the tab.
也许是为了体现其利他精神 Perhaps this was his final altruistic gesture
联合全世界追求一个共同目标;或许以上都对 to unite the world in some common goal. Maybe all of the above.
S·R·哈登,是杰出的 S. R. Hadden, a brilliant
也是复杂的一个人 and complicated man.
博士,你是否熟悉这样一个概念 Doctor, are you familiar with the scientific precept
即所谓的"奥卡姆剃刀"原理? known as Occam's Razor?
我知道 Yes.
即是说最简单的解释往往是最正确的 It means the simplest explanation generally tends to be the right one.
没错 Exactly.
请告诉我,对此,哪一个更接近真相? You tell me. What is more likely here?
来自外星人的消息造就一台魔法机器 A message from aliens results in a magical machine
把你带到银河系的中央 that whisks you to the center of the galaxy
和父亲一起兜风,然后眨眼之间 to windsurf with Dad and a split second later
又把你送回地球,还两手空空? returns you home without a single shred of proof?
或者,你的经历不过是 Or that your experience is the result of being
作为一名天真的演员,参加了S·R·哈登的 the unwitting star in the farewell performance of one
告别演出? S.R. Hadden?
这样一个人,既有能力也有动机,来捉弄你以及我们大家 A man with the means and motive to play you and all of us
让我们成为有史以来最为高明,最为昂贵的骗局的牺牲品 as pawns in the most elaborate, most expensive hoax of all time?
阿洛维博士 Dr. Arroway
你没有给我们带来证据,也没有相关记录 You come to us with no evidence, no records
更没有实物 no artifacts
只有一个,说得委婉点,一个可信度成疑的"故事" only a story that, to put it mildly, strains credibility.
开支超五千亿美元 Over half a trillion dollars were spent.
付出了几十条性命 Dozens of lives were lost.
而你就坐在那儿说,我们必须接受这一切 Are you going to sit there and tell us we should just take this all
仅仅为了信仰? on faith?
请回答我们,博士 Please answer the question, Doctor.
我所经历的事情有无可能子虚乌有? Is it possible that it didn't happen?
是的 Yes.
作为科学家,我必须承认,必须自愿承认这一点 As a scientist I must concede that. I must volunteer that.
等会儿,那我就直说了 Let me get this straight.
你承认,因你没有客观证据支持你的故事 You admit you have no physical evidence to back up your story?
我承认! Yes.
你承认这可能都是你的幻觉喽? You admit you may have hallucinated this whole thing?
我承认! Yes
你承认,假设你站在我们的立场上 You admit if you were in our position
也一样会对此表示怀疑? you would be as incredulous and skeptical as we?
我承认! Yes
那么,为什么你不干脆撤回证词,并承认 Then why don't you simply withdraw your testimony and concede
所谓银河系中心之旅事实上根本就未曾发生过? that this journey to the center of the galaxy never took place?
因为我做不到! Because I can't!
因为我的确经历过 I had an experience.
我无法证明,也无从解释 I can't prove it. I can't even explain it.
但作为一名人类,无论是我见到的,或是感知到的 But everything I know as a human being, everything I am
都在告诉我那是真实的 tells me it was real.
此行我所得之精彩,永生难忘! I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever.
那个(外星人)幻影 A vision
非常肯定地告诉我们 of the universe
我们之于宇宙 that tells us undeniably
是何等的渺小和微不足道 how tiny and insignificant
然而我们又是何等珍贵和稀有 and how rare and precious we all are.
那个幻影告诉我们,我们其实属于… A vision that tells us that we belong to something
一个超越我们自身的存在,我们一点儿也不孤单 that is greater than ourselves, that none of us are alone.
我希望我能与人分享 I wish I could share that.
我希望 I wish
每个人,即使短暂 that everyone, if even for one
一瞬 moment
也能感受到 could feel
敬畏,谦卑以及希望 that awe and humility and hope.
但是… But…
这,将是伴随我一生的愿望 That continues to be my wish.
阿洛维博士,拍张照行吗? Dr. Arroway, can I get a picture, please.
爱丽发现了新世界
敞开你的心扉
宇宙也会为你敞开心扉
爱丽! Ellie!
乔斯神父! Reverend Joss!
乔斯神父,您相信谁? What do you believe?!
作为一名信徒,我所奉行的与阿洛维博士不同 As a person of faith, I'm bound by a different covenant than Dr. Arroway.
但我们却都拥有一个共同的目标 But our goal is one and the same.
即寻求真理 The pursuit of truth.
就我个人而言,我相信她! I, for one, believe her.
现在怎么办?给她颁个勋章? So what happens now? We give her a medal?
我觉得,至少经费要给足 I'd say at least a healthy grant.
你读了调查委员会的秘密报告吧? You read the confidential report from the investigating committee?
瞄了一眼 I flipped through it.
有关阿洛维博士的摄录仪那一段,令我很有兴趣 I was very interested in the section on Arroway's video unit.
记录下静电噪音的那一段 The one that recorded the static.
接着说 Continue.
我感兴趣的倒不是它记录了静电噪音这一事实 The fact that it recorded static isn't what interests me.
继续 Continue.
令我感兴趣的 What interests me
是它记录了大约十八个小时的静电噪音 is that it recorded approximately 18 hours of it.
挺有趣,不是吗? That is interesting, isn't it?
一年半之后
大家看到了,那边正在建造四十五台全新的天线 And you can see over there, we're building 45 brand new dishes.
就是说,把它们与世界上 That means when you put them together with all the radio telescopes
各式各样的射电望远镜组合起来 all over the world
我们将能够听到太空深处前所未闻的声音 we'll hear farther into space than anyone has ever heard before.
宇宙里还有其他的人吗? Are there other people out there in the universe?
问得好 That's a good question.
你怎么想呢? What do you think?
我不知道 I don't know.
答的不错 That's a good answer.
怀疑论者,是吧? Skeptic, huh?
重要的是,你们都要自己去不停寻求答案 The important thing is that you all keep searching for your own answers.
不过,关于宇宙嘛,还有一点我想要告诉你们的 One thing about the universe, though.
宇宙啊 The universe
那可是相当相当大的 is a pretty big place.
比任何东西都大 It's bigger than anything
大到超乎想象 anyone has ever dreamed of before.
那么,假如宇宙里仅仅只有我们 So if it's just us
那岂不是有点太浪费空间了 it seems like an awful waste of space.
对不? Right?
