English to Chinese: Sonar General field: Science Detailed field: Environment & Ecology
Source text - English Sure! Basically, there are two ways sound can help us learn about the ocean. One way is using what we call passive acoustics. That’s putting a microphone in the water and listening to the sounds animals create. Like a whale singing! The other way is active acoustics, which uses sonar. Sonar instruments send out a sound pulse that bounces off anything it comes in contact with. And I mean anything. The sea floor, shipwrecks, fish, plankton, even gas bubbles. A device on the ship can then interpret these bounces into sonar data (information we can read). It lets us peek into the water column.
Translation - Chinese 没问题！总的来说，声音可以通过两种方式帮助我们了解海洋。一种是通过我们所说的被动声学。也就是将一个麦克风放置在水中收取动物发出的声音，比如鲸鱼的歌唱。另一种是主动声学，也就是使用声呐。声呐设备发出的音波脉冲在接触到任何东西的时候会反弹回来，我说的是任何东西，海床、沉船、鱼类、浮游生物，甚至是气泡。船上的一种设备可以将反弹回来的音波脉冲转换为声呐数据（我们可以解读的信息）。它让我们得以了解水柱。

These musicians create beautiful music out of garbage.
Translation - Chinese 伦敦爱乐乐团的音乐家们演奏时用的是使用最好的材料精心制作而成的昂贵乐器。而来自南美洲巴拉圭共和国卡特乌拉贫民窟的管弦乐团，演奏时所使用的乐器是用垃圾回收所获得的材料制作而成的。这支管弦乐队就叫回收管弦乐团，他们为世界各地的观众演奏。作为回收管弦乐团的故乡，卡特乌拉现在也出名了。这里的音乐家们用垃圾创作出了美妙的音乐。

Source text - English I AM SENT AWAY FROM HOME
We might have gone about half a mile, and my pocket -handkerchief was quite wet through, when the carrier stopped short.
Looking out to ascertain for what, I saw, to my amazement, Peggotty burst from a hedge and climb into the cart. She took me in both her arms, and squeezed me to her stays until the pressure on my nose was extremely painful, though I never thought of that till afterwards, when I found it very tender. Not a single word did Peggotty speak. Releasing one of her arms, she put it down in her pocket to the elbow, and brought out some paper bags of cakes which she crammed into my pockets, and a purse which she put into my hand; but not one word did she say. After another and a final squeeze with both arms, she got down from the cart and ran away, and my belief is, and has always been, without a solitary button on her gown. I picked up one of several that were rolling about, and treasured it as a keepsake for a long time.
The carrier looked at me, as if to inquire if she were coming back. I shook my head, and said I thought not. “Then, come up!” said the carrier to the lazy horse, who came up accordingly.
Translation - Chinese 无家可归
大约走了半英里，手帕就被我的泪水湿透了。这时马车突然停了下来。
我往外看去，想知道发生了什么。出乎意料的是，我看到辟果提从路旁的树篱里冲了出来，爬上了车厢。她双手环住我，将我紧紧拥入怀中。她抱得很用力，我一时有点发懵。后来我才意识到我的鼻子都被压疼了。辟果提一句话也不说。她将一只胳膊伸入差不多有肘深的口袋里，从里面拿出几个装着糕点的纸袋，塞进了我的口袋里；又往我的手里塞了一个钱包。做这些的时候，她始终一言不发。临走前，她最后又一次紧紧地抱住我，随后便跳下马车跑开了。看着车厢地板上滚动着的好几颗纽扣，我相信辟果提的外套自此一颗扣子也不剩了。我捡起了其中一颗。后来很长一段时间里，我都将它当纪念品珍藏着。
车夫看着我，神情像在问她是否会回来。我摇了摇头，说“不会”。“那好，驾！”车夫冲着那匹无精打采的马叫道，马就跑起来了。
