We want to know as much as possible about the world around us,

我們想知道盡可能多地了解我們周圍的世界

but to satisfy our need to know about the world

但要滿足我們需要了解世界

around us, our eyes just aren’t good enough anymore.

但若只憑我們的肉眼並不足夠。

With the power of engineering, we have been able to take a look at worlds

隨著工程學的發展，我們已經能夠更全面地觀察世界

hidden inside and outside the narrow range of our human senses.

不再局限在有限的人類感官之內

We can take a look at the smallest lifeforms, our own cells, and even

我們可以來看看最小的生命形式，我們自己的細胞和分子甚至使用電子顯微鏡。

molecules using electron microscopes.

複雜的機器，再微小的東西都能看見，

Complex machines that make invisible things visible,

所以我們可以世界內探索世界。

so we can discover worlds inside of worlds inside of worlds inside of worlds.

納米級的發現，永遠改變了我們如何看待我們的宇宙，

Discoveries of the nanolevel have changed how we perceive

並導致了無數的新發現。

the universe around us forever, and led to countless discoveries.

在另一方面，短短幾個世紀之內，工程師開發功能更強大的科研工具

On the other hand, just a few centuries ago engineers developed powerful

這給了我們能深入外太空，發現無數宇宙奇觀的能力。

tools of science that gave us the ability to look deep into space

在之後無數的宇宙探測器和衛星，哈勃望遠鏡是技術的這些奇蹟之一。沒有它，我們永遠也不會知道，我們的銀河系只不過是在擁有數百億星系之一

and spot countless wonders of the universe.

的一個巨大的宇宙之中。甚至更好的望遠鏡已經正在建設之中。他們將能夠為我們顯示更遠的世界，和更多的細節。

Later came spacecraft and satellites.

那麼，還有多少東西需要探索。宇宙是巨大的，而且我們有這麼多東西要學習。

The Hubble telescope was one of these wonders of technology.

隨著工程的力量，在我們的好奇心驅使之下，有誰又能知道在未來，我們會有什麼新發現?。

Without it, we would never have known that our galaxy is one of billions in

[繁體中文字幕由sheldonng提供]

an enormous universe, and even better telescopes are being built right now.

They’ll be able to show us worlds far, far away in much greater detail.

So, there is still much left to discover.

The universe is vast, and we have so much more to learn.

And with the power of engineering and our curiosity, who knows what

we’ll be able to discover in the future.
