My first visit was to a space station considered the most modern in space.我首先参观的是一个太空站，这个站被认为是太空中最现代化的地方。Described as an enormous round plate, it spins slowly in space to imitate the pull of the earth's gravity.太空站像一个巨大的圆盘，在太空中缓缓的旋转，以仿照出地球重心的引力。Inside was an exhibition of the most up-to-date inventions of the 31 st century.太空站里展出了31世纪一些最前沿的发明。A guide (G) showed us around along a moveable path.有个导游带领我们站在一条移动的运送带上，到各处参观。

During the explanation I looked at the pair of small objects called \pads\on a table.在导游解说的时候，我观看着桌上这副被称为“思想仪”的小东西。They just looked like metal ribbons.它们看上去像金属带子。So ordinary but so powerful!那么普通，但却那么神通广大！While I was observing them, the path moved us on.正当我还在观察时，运送带向前移动了。
G: And now ladies and gentlemen, we are in the \导游：女士们先生们，现在我们到了“环保地带”。People used to collect waste in dustbins.以前人
们习惯用垃圾箱收集废弃物，Then the rubbish was sent to be buried or burned, am I right?

I stared at the moving model of the waste machine, absorbed by its efficiency.我注视着缓缓移动的垃圾分解机器模型，为它的成效所吸引。But again we moved on.但是，我们又开始向前移动了。
