歌词
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown,
不管什么时候生活让你失意,布朗太太
And things seem hard or tough,
不管是生活艰难 屁事成堆
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
还是人们愚昧无知 整天嬉皮笑脸
And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough,
尽管这让你感觉快要抓狂
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
只要记住你是处于一个不断演化的星球就好
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
一颗以九百英里每小时的速度旋转的行星
Thas orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
一颗一秒绕太阳运行十九英里的蓝星(这是它被推算出的数据)
A sun that is the source of all our power.
那是被我们称作太阳的万物之源
The sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
无论是太阳 还是渺小如你我的一切 与那无数我们所见的星星一起
Are moving at a million miles a day,
每天飙百万英里
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
四万英里每小时的速度
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
呈现在一个我们叫做银河的星系的外螺旋臂上
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars;
我们的星系包罗千亿颗星
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side;
横跨十万光年
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick,
核心一万六千光年范围内 物质都挤在一堆
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide.
但我们不在那之内 那只有三千光年那么宽
We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point,
我们离银河中心有六万光年的距离
We go 'round every two hundred million years;
每两亿年绕中心转一圈
And our galaxy itself is only one of millions of billions
但我们的银河系不过是数以亿计的星系中微不足道的一小块
In this amazing and expanding universe.
在这令人惊诧的 膨胀着的宇宙里
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
宇宙不断膨胀
In all of the directions it can whiz;
星系“嗖”的一声便互相远去
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know,
有多快呢 你懂的 光的速度
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
一千二百万英里每分钟 真的不能再快了
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
所以在你觉得自己渺小又困厄的时候 记住
How amazingly unlikely is your birth;
你的诞生本就是一个令人惊奇的巧合
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
顺便期望浩瀚太空中的某个角落有别的智慧生物出现
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!
因为这颗蓝星被折磨的不像样子!
