木星音乐会 -- BEFORE WE GO双关语、俏皮话解析
What does it sound like on the largest planet in our solar system? No one knows, but we can give you an idea.
NASA`s Juno spacecraft which was launched five years ago recently did a flyby of Jupiter. It recorded radio signals associated with auroras on Jupiter and then it shifted these signals into a range where we can listen to them and speed them up.
(JUNO WAVES)
Not quite Vivaldi but there aren`t exactly four seasons on Jupiter, and it`s well-beyond our stratosphere. Could the planet be hiding other sounds, maybe one day we`ll Debussy. More research will get a handle on it and when it comes to even the most egregious theories, data can often Bach it up.

木星探测器Juno环绕木星飞行(这里看不见的)
Juno探测器接收到的木星光环电磁波转换而来的声波,算是“木星音乐会”
点在哪里?
今天CNN Student News的BEFORE WE GO部分讲的是美国发射的木星探测器JUNO和木星来了个亲密接触(低空飞行,Fly-by),接收到了木星发出的若干光环关联电磁波(radio signals)。为了弄明白木星的“声音”究竟是怎样的,美国国家航空航天局(NASA)把这些电磁波信号转换成声波图像,然后模拟出声音,形成了“木星音乐会”的最初景象。
谈起“音乐”会,当然少不了大师们,在这一段文字里先后出现了Vivaldi(维瓦尔第,模仿vivid)、Debussy(德彪西,呼应discover或wait to see)、Bach(巴赫,类似buckle,形成buckle it up,把某物扣紧)等著名音乐家的名字,最后还来了一个orchestrate 协调,这是一个来自orchestra的动词,和前面的诸多音乐家相对照,自成其趣。
