Sal: We have a good legal case. And President Clinton apologized to us in 1993.
Jun: But will a good legal case and an apology really make any difference?
Sal: Hard to know for sure, but we believe in aloha'aina: love of the land. We'll do what we can.
Jun: So why are you out here today, exactly?
Sal: I'm here to educate tourists like you. Hopefully you understand a little more, now.

赛儿：我们拥有有利的法律诉讼，而且克林顿总统一九九三年向我们道歉了。

小君：所以，你们今天在这到底是为了什么？

★ apologize (v.) 道歉，apology (n.) 道歉
★ make a difference 有差别，改变
★ aloha'aina (n.) 夏威夷语，意即‘对土地的热爱’ | |

Many science-fictional ideas from the past have subsequently became scientific realities. Take space exploration, for example. In the 1950s this was just a fantastical idea that few people would have dreamt could actually happen. Now it's such a part of modern life that the latest blastoff of a spacecraft, or the discovery of a new planet often doesn't even make the national news.
以前科学小说中提出的很多想法已经变成了科学的现实。拿太空探险来说，50年代，这只不过是一种科学狂想，很少人相信有一天会变成现实。可是现在它已成为现代生活的一个组成部分，以至于一次最新的宇航器发射或者一个新行星的发现已不再列为国内新闻。 | |
