1977年8月20日,美国发射了两艘“航行者”号太空船,它们飞向浩瀚无垠的宇宙。科学家们希望它们有朝一日能遇到地球以外的“外星人”,使“外星人”通过它了解我们的地球和生活在地球上的人类,并进而与我们取得联系。太空船上载有一张镀金的唱片,即使过了亿万年它仍能锃亮如新。唱片中录着世界音乐宝库中27段最著名的音乐作品,其中一段便是中国的琴曲《流水》。
On August 20, 1977, the United States launched two spacecraft “Voyager”, which flew to the boundless universe. Scientists hope they will someday encounter “aliens” beyond Earth, enabling “aliens” to know about our planet and human beings living on Earth, and thus get in touch with us. The spacecraft carries a gilded record that will brighten even after hundreds of millions of years. The record contains 27 of the most famous musical compositions in the world music library, one of which is the Chinese melody “running water.”
