Terry Pratchett is best known for his Discworld series.

特里·普拉切特最出名的作品是他的《碟》系列。

The QTT's fully steerable dish, spanning 110 metres, will enable it to observe 75% of the stars in the sky at any given time.

QTT的完全可操纵的碟天线横跨110米，将使它能够在任何给定时间观测天空中75%的恒星。

Catching them requires either a dish antenna of enormous proportions, or an array of smaller ones, with a supercomputer to consolidate the data.

捕信号或者需要巨大的碟天线，或者是小天线的组合，由超级计算机来整合数据。

It's in a field, and there's this giant six-foot-wide parabolic dish, like a satellite TV dish, pointing toward the sky.

拍摄地点在野外，上面有个 6 英尺宽的巨大碟抛物面——像卫星电视锅——朝向天空。

He picked up his gun and Natasha threw a tiny disk from a compartment on her belt.

冬日战士举起武器，塔莎从腰带内取出一个小型的碟装置向他扔去。

But Starlink also warns that roof mounted dishes can be blown loose in a storm.

但 Starlink 还警告说，安装在屋顶的碟天线可能会在暴风雨中被吹散。

The dial mechanism came out next, leaving an empty dished compartment in the instrument.

接下来是刻度盘机构，在仪器中留下一个空的碟隔间。

Okay, so that's Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.

好的，以上就是特里·普拉切特的《碟》系列。

Around 6: 10 PM, just after finishing up work in the New Mexico National Forest job that he had, Walton was riding in a truck with six of his co-workers when they saw a large saucer-shaped aircraft hovering in the trees.

下午 6 点 10 分左右，沃尔顿刚结束他在新墨西哥国家森林公园的工作，正和他的六名同事坐在一辆卡车上， 时他们看到一架巨大的碟飞机在树上盘旋。

Allied scientists came across the plans for the  Sun Gun after the war was over, along with other mad-scientist level stuff like saucer-shaped  aircraft that took off and landed vertically and giant tanks that were like battleships on land.

盟军科学家在战争结束后发现了太阳枪的计划，以及其他疯狂的科学家级别的东西，比如垂直起降的碟飞机和像陆地上的战舰一样的巨型坦克。

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different.

在思维与现实的交处， 存在着一个名为“碟”的平行时空， 它听上去、闻起来可能与我们所在的极其相似，但外观却截然不同。

Construction on the whole facility will run until 2028, but the first operations can begin as soon as enough dishes and antennas are installed to start receiving signals.

整个设施的建设将持续到 2028 年，但一旦安装了足够的碟天线和天线以开始接收信号，就可以开始第一批操作。

Or you could  even be drifting onto visions of enormous dishes, like the infamous Arecibo telescope, that once  captured radio waves from across the cosmos.

或者， 你可能会联想到那巨大的碟天线，比如曾臭名昭着的阿雷西博望远镜，它曾捕到来自宇宙深处的无线电波。

All three towers suffered failures, major portions of the dish were destroyed, and the platform and instruments it supported were a complete loss.

所有三座塔都遭遇故障， 碟天线的主要部分被毁，其支撑的平台和仪器也完全损失。

It was held in the center of the saucer-shaped country, and the day was given over to feasting and merry-making.

它是在碟国家的中心举行的，一天被花在了宴会和欢乐中。

The craft was a typical disc-shaped flying saucer with no seams, no obvious buttons, and no controls.

艘飞行器是一个典型的碟飞碟， 没有接缝，没有明显的按钮， 也没有控制装置。
