程度副詞

people have got so many misconceptions about the Middle Ages.

Starting with the idea of being called dark ages where we don't even know where that comes from.

從被稱為黑暗時代的想法開始，我們甚至不知道這是從哪裡來的。

And also this idea that in terms of astronomy, the medieval people thought that the earth was flat.

還有這種想法，在天文學方面，中世紀的人認為地球是平的。

Comets are these strange objects which are very unpredictable in the way they behave, they can explode.

彗星是這些奇怪的物體，它們的行為方式非常難以預測，它們可以爆炸。

Uh they can split all, all sorts of strange things can happen.

呃，他們可以分裂所有，各種奇怪的事情都可能發生。

We need a record of that of what was seen when and usually I only work with observations that are done in the last maybe 50 years and this project uses observations of people that lived 1000 years ago.

我們需要一個關於什麼時候看到的記錄，通常我只用過去50年的觀察來工作，而這個項目使用的是1000年前的人的觀察。

It's almost like I can pick up the phone and call one of these months 1000 years ago and and and ask him, hey, my computer tells me that should have been a comet in the sky on this state.

這幾乎就像我可以拿起電話，給1000年前的某個月份打電話，並問他，嘿，我的電腦告訴我，這個州的天空中應該有一顆彗星。

The anglo saxons really try to understand the cosmos if the angles accents.

英國撒克遜人真的試圖理解宇宙，如果角度的口音。

So a comet is a moment or important, which also was the case for telling and predicting the death of an important king or war famine.

是以，彗星是一個時刻或重要的，這也是告訴和預測一個重要國王的死亡或戰爭饑荒的情況。

This doesn't mean that we're not interested in understanding how that comic work vulnerable beat is was one of the most influential and important intellectual scholars from the Middle Ages.

這並不意味著我們對了解那部漫畫作品如何脆弱的節拍不感興趣，是中世紀最有影響力和最重要的思想學者之一。

He was a monk from Northumbria and he lived between the end of the seventh, beginning of the eighth centuries.

他是一位來自諾森比亞的僧侶，生活在七世紀末、八世紀初之間。

And I guess some of the meats that we have about the Middle Ages as well comes from the difficulty of accessing the language which can be at a latin or all the english or any other Medieval vernacular language and all.

我想，我們關於中世紀的一些肉體也來自於訪問語言的困難，這些語言可以是拉丁語或所有英語或任何其他中世紀的白話語言和所有。

And accessing this material isn't isn't easy.

So we try to work with comments that have Periods of orbits around the sun.

是以，我們試圖用有圍繞太陽的軌道週期的評論來工作。

That means that they came back maybe 10 times since since the Middle Ages.

這意味著，自中世紀以來，他們可能回來了10次。

But there are comets that come from much larger distances from a region called Ward Cloud and those come back once every million years.

但是有一些彗星來自一個叫做沃德雲的地區，距離遠得多，這些彗星每百萬年回來一次。

So if one of those comments was seen by the monks, I will not be able to reproduce that observation, but it will be important to know that that things were seen in the sky because it gives us an idea of how many of these comments were visiting the earth as a function of time.

是以，如果這些評論中的一個被僧侶們看到，我將無法重現這一觀察，但知道那些東西在天空中被看到是很重要的，因為它讓我們瞭解到這些評論有多少是作為時間的函數訪問地球的。

Medieval monks described comments in quite detail and sometimes they give the month, the date, sometimes even the hour on which the comet was seen it occur.

中世紀的僧侶們對評論進行了相當詳細的描述，有時他們會給出月份、日期，有時甚至是看到彗星出現的時間。

So we get lots of information that is useful.

是以，我們得到很多有用的資訊。

What I was very surprised about is how much there is still too look for in these in these texts.

我感到非常驚訝的是，在這些文本中還有很多東西需要尋找。

I thought, well this stuff has been written 1000 years ago.

我想，這些東西在1000年前就已經寫好了。

We we probably know everything there is to know about it, but it's not true since I started working on this project.

我們我們可能知道關於它的一切，但自從我開始在這個項目上工作以來，這不是真的。

I've been learning that we're still discovering manuscripts.

我一直在學習，我們仍然在發現手稿。

So there is still material, uh, that is not known.

所以還有一些材料，呃，不知道是什麼。
