M: What do you think of the idea of a one-way trip to Mars?
男：单程奔赴火星，如何？
W: You do mean the planet Mars?
女：你是说真的火星？
M: Well, this is what is being planned at the moment by a company in the Netherlands. They are planning to send people to Mars and the people who go would never be able to come back to Earth.
男：是的，荷兰一家公司正在启动火星旅行计划-)0~OFF17jK1N.;26yf_。带乘客前往火星，但是是单程票8K+f@7YttqEF8e][^。
W: Sounds like quite a trip!
女：这可真是一次奇幻旅行!
M: What is interesting about it is that this would be a one-way trip.
男：最奇幻的是它有去无回2T-devyU0Ac|eXGzT&F;。
W: Why is this a one-way trip?
女：为什么非要单程？
M: It's about technology. Although we do have the knowledge and technology to get people to Mars，we can't get them back.
男：因为技术原因-O[.(w!4nc9=[VPw;yU。我们有足够的技术登陆火星，但回来的技术还达不到U@xewLUi3Rskg。
W: That's a big commitment, isn't it? But I imagine some people will jump at the opportunity. But what kind of person are they going to recruit for this "trip of a lifetime"?
女：这绝对是一项艰巨任务，不是吗？我猜有的人会抓住这次机遇2&|7npY2N[P9Kapw4R)。对于这次单程旅行，他们会招募什么条件的申请者？
M: They want smart people，which means clever, intelligent people. These people need to be healthy both physically and mentally. They also need people with very specific skills.
男：聪明的人，他们会招募有头脑的人N]|%2*m23@|0lW。身心健康的人;DO%|8k|h,K1~VFgM3an。以及拥有特殊技能的人,5e|j6Og1PcxJOYI8W。
W: I would think so.
女：我想也是QpWs1JC6AN。
M: And there is something more important.
男：还有比这更重要的|66VJsKCnbM^1n。
W: What's that?
女：什么？
M: Character. You need to have the right personality.
男：性格~uu3iuHtsiL。他们的性格要符合招募条件D.QNecoQ*rM7dW。
W: What other characteristics are they looking for?
女：什么性格的人？
M: They want people who can still work well when things are bad. People who are calm in a crisis. So from what you've heard, does it sound like the job for you?
男：身处逆境，但依然出色发挥l)a2epn9k5tJu3j4(VUr。以及临危不乱的人CZa1_PQf8oOcLmJalR。你觉得你适合这项工作吗？
W: Absolutely not. I don't mind travelling but I think it's a bit far for me. And what about you?
女：不可能是我,VW+;8N_NO;lbi。我不介意旅行，但这对我来说太过了jsHU=Y.9lo6vt。你呢？
M: No, it's not for me, I have to say. I'm not made of the right stuff. I don't think I'm the kind of person who can handle a crisis with calm!
男：当然不是我了zq=w;nthQh@8|(Rpb_。我不够格!S|G;u*;TWHBv。我想我不是那种临危不乱的人！
W: I was wondering how they were going to pay for all of this. After all, it's not a government programme, is it?
女：这次旅行怎么收费？毕竟这不是政府计划，不是吗？
M: A very good question. They plan to finance this by involving the whole world as an audience.
男：好问题#EH|6bINOnZ!Fn。他们计划通过全球观众筹资TDhnH,[IG](a。
W: So where is the money coming from?
女：资金从哪来？
M: Television. It sounds like a big reality TV show to me. The Olympics raised a lot of money from people watching on television and this will be the same. There will be a big audience to tune in and watch the mission but also the relationship between the people on the mission and perhaps even the birth of the first Mars baby.
男：通过电视节目|vJFl#s2g5%R。听起来像电视真人秀4)tjB88CN%。奥运会的筹办就是通过观众筹资，这个也是一样EaGGo9yD4hq+GRW%1。到时将会有大量电视观众，通过电视观看训练过程，还能选出“登火”队员，甚至还能看到首位“火星孩”降生nklZUpF2!y4pd@。
W: Would you watch it?
女：你会看吗？
M: Definitely, yeah, it would be fascinating viewing. How about you?
男：当然啦，那一定很精彩%tiW[i!sIbJ3[x。你看吗？
W:You know what, I'm not usually a fan of reality TV, I would probably get bored very easily though.
女：我不是很喜欢真人秀，我一准会觉得无聊-cQR)9qG|ruC。
