Stephen Hawking Sings Monty Python… Galaxy Song

布朗太太，当你觉得生活不幸
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
当你觉得诸事艰难
And things seem hard or tough
当你觉得众人愚蠢、厌恶
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
当你觉得你受够了
And you feel that you've had quite enough
请记住，你所在的星球在不断进化

在以900英里每小时的速度自转
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
在以19英里每小时的速度围绕着
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
我们所有能源的源头——太阳公转
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
太阳、你、我，以及我们所有能看到的恒星
A sun that is the source of all our power
每天要移动上百万英里

我们在这个星系的外旋臂，1小时移动4万英里
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
我们称它叫做“银河”
Are moving at a million miles a day
我们的星系拥有数百亿恒星
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
每个恒星相隔数万光年
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'
银河系中间是一个膨胀体，直径超过16000光年

但我们只能看见其中3000光年
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
一个来回要两百万年
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
而银河系在这个不断膨胀的多彩宇宙中
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
只是几百万数十亿星系中的一个
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
在这个神奇的膨胀的宇宙中

宇宙本身在不断膨胀膨胀
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
在向四面八方呼啸而去
We go 'round every two hundred million years
以最快的速度——光的速度
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
每分钟一千二百万公里 ( 299,792,458 m/s )，这就是最快的速度
In this amazing and expanding universe
当你觉得十分渺小，十分不安

你的出生是多么神奇的一件事 ~
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
祈愿宇宙中某个地方有智慧的生命——
In all of the directions it can whizz
因为地球上到处是烦人的琐事。
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth'
