Under certain circumstances, liquid water has been found on Mars. This was the out of this world announcement from NASA following years of exploration on the Red Planet.
美国航空航天局经过数年的探索向世界公布,在某些情况下火星上发现了液态水。
Scientists revealed briny water may flow on the planet’s surface during its summer months.

Different soils sampled were found to be moist and full of water.
采集的土壤是潮湿的并富含水。
Dark streaks, known as recurring slope lineae, or RSL, are now known to have been caused by flowing water.
深色的条纹被称作季节性斜坡条带,现在发现是由流动的水造成的。
“These discoveries are very important, but they were only part of the hydrological cycle on Mars, that we are just now beginning to understand. What we are going to announce today is that Mars is not that dry, arid planet we thought of in the past.”
“这些发现很重要,但它们只是火星水文循环的一部分,我们现在才开始明白。我们今天要宣布的是,火星并不干燥,不像我们以前想象的那么干燥。”
So what does this tell us about potential life on Mars? Exploration by the Curiosity Rover proves that billions of years ago it was once a planet similar to Earth.
那么,这能告诉我们火星上存在生命吗?好奇号漫游者探索证明,数十亿年前,它曾经是一颗类似地球的行星。
But could the planet support life today? Scientists say, technologically, we will now be able to answer those questions.
