The night sky is our earliest library. There, we stored our knowledge, and passed it down around the fire, before we invented the written word.
夜空是我们最早的图书馆。在文字发明之前，我们在那里贮存知识，并在炉火旁将其代代相传。
I remember going to the local university for an astronomy night when I was a child. That night, I saw Saturn, one of the planets, and its rings with my own eyes for the first time.
我记得小时候去当地大学参加过一次天文之夜活动。那天晚上，我第一次亲眼看到了行星之一的土星及它的星环。
The rings shone bright against the blackness of space and suddenly the universe wasn't something that you only read about or imagined in your head. It was right there, and you were a part of it. That moment is priceless. I admired the beauty of the stars and felt a deep connection with the night sky.
土星环在漆黑的太空中闪闪发光，突然间，宇宙不再是只能在书中读到或在脑海中想象的事物。它就在那里，而你就是其中的一部分。那一刻是无价的。我欣赏着星空之美，感受到与夜空之间有种深刻的联系。
While starlight is good, light pollution here on Earth can be a real problem. For the past 200 years or so, we have used too much electricity to make the night brighter. In our busy cities, street lamps and city lights can block our view of the stars, making it almost impossible to see them.
虽然星光很好，但地球上的光污染却是真实存在的问题。在过去的大约 200 年间，我们使用了过多的电力来让夜晚更明亮。在繁忙的城市中，路灯和城市灯光会遮挡我们观赏星星的视线，几乎让人无法看到它们。
Luckily, some cities have taken action, like setting up new lights along the streets that direct downwards. I hope that more cities will join in and continue the practice of controlling unnecessary lighting. This way, we can enjoy the peace and beauty of the universe.
幸运的是，一些城市已经采取了行动，比如在街道两旁安装向下照射的新型路灯。我希望更多的城市能够加入进来，继续实施限制非必要照明的做法。这样，我们才能享受宇宙的宁静与美丽。
