英语听力：自然百科 行星旅行指南：木星 Jupiter—1

 Life feeling a bit ordinary? Travel choices a bit tame? Head beyond the asteroid¹ belt for an out-of-this-world experience. Welcome to Jupiter, home of high-adrenaline adventure.

 

  Plunge² into its mysterious depth. 

 

 You drop through the clouds, it would get darker and darker, hotter and hotter. At the center the temperatures are hotter than the surface of the sun, and the pressures are unimaginably high.

 

  Stormy on the inside and stormy on the outside.

 

  I like to watch hurricanes on TV, you know, the great red spot being the biggest hurricane that we know of, and it having been there for 400 years, to see this would be pretty cool.

 

  Want more bang for your buck³? Thrill-seeker should head to Io, Jupiter's exotic moon of fire and brimstone.

 

  To see Io just blasting off these huge volcanic⁴ plumes/, covering glowing volcanoes. It would be a pretty amazing place to see.

 

  Escape Io's hot zone with a dive into the ice-covered alien ocean of neighboring Europa, just the place for a close encounter of the weirdest⁵ kind.

 

  Here's the reason to go to Europa. You bet. It's a totally unexplored world, and it probably has the highest probability of life off this planet.

 

Choose Jupiter, and a change of scenery is guaranteed. With its 62 alien moons to explore, out here, there's something for everyone, tempted⁶.

 

  There has never been a better time to take a giant leap to where no human has gone before, to follow in the footsteps of our robot pioneers, and explore the planets of our solar system.
