Life Form Found on Saturns Titan Scientists say they have discovered hints of alien life1 on the Saturns moon2. The discovery of a sort of life was announced after researchers at the US space agency, NASA3, analyzed data from spacecraft Cassini4, which pointed to, the existence of methane-based form of life on Saturns biggest moon. 科学家声称他们在土星卫星2发现外星人生命迹象，在宣称发现生命迹象之前，美国航空局NASA3的研究者分析从卡西尼4发送来的数据指出，土星最大的卫星上有甲烷形式的生命存在。 Scientists have reportedly discovered clues showing primitive alien beings arebreathing in Titans dense atmosphere filled with hydrogen. 据报道，科学家发现有线索显示原始的外星人“生活”在土卫六的浓密的氢气环境中。 They argue that hydrogen gets absorbed before hitting Titans planet-like surface covered with methane lakes and rivers. This,they say,points to the existence of somebugs5 consuming the hydrogen at the surface of the moon less than half the size of the Earth. 他们认为在土卫六的星球表面被覆盖的沼气湖泊与河流在被撞击之前氢气被吸收了。他们指数一些“故障”5消耗掉月球表面的氢气，少于地球一半。 We suggested hydrogen consumption because its the obvious gas for life to consume on Titan,similar to the way we consume oxygen on Earth,says NASA scientist Chris McKay.If these signs do turn out to be a sign of life,it would be doubly exciting because it would represent a second form of life independent from water-based life on Earth. “我们提出氢气消耗是因为氢气是存在土卫六上最明显的气体可供给生命，就像我们在地球上消耗氧气。” NASA的科学家Chris McKay说，“如果这些迹象证实是生命迹象的话，那么这将是不同于地球上依赖水产生的生命的第二处生命的存在。 To date, scientists have not yet detected this form of life anywhere, though there are liquid- water-based microorganisms on Earth that grow well on methane or produce it as a waste product. On Titan, where temperatures are around 90 Kelvin6(minus 290 degrees Farenheit),a methanebased organism would have to use a substance that is liquid as its medium for living processes, but not water itself. Water is frozen solid on Titans surface and much too cold to support life as we know it. 科学家尚未发现这种生命的大量存在，虽然地球上基于水的微生物在沼气中生存的很好，或者作为废弃物。在土卫六上，气温约在90开时，依赖沼气的生物会用液体的物质作为生存媒介，而这种液体物质不是水。水在土卫六表面会凝固成冰，而且据我们所知气温太低很难维持生命。 Scient
