1-- guess what! I know something you don't know!
2-- what's that?
1-- how many planets are there in the solar system?
2-- that's easy. Everyone knows that there are nice.
1-- not anymore! Can you believe it? They've decided that Pluto is not a planet anymore!
2-- nice try. I wasn't born yesterday, you know.
1-- I'm dead serious. They've decided that it's too small to be a planet, but actually they haven't yet agreed on how big something has to be in order to be a planet anymore.
2-- that sounds crazy. They can't just change their mind about things like that.
1-- yes, they can. If you remember correctly, people used to believe that the world was flat.
2-- I suppose you're right. They also used to think that they were so important that the sun revolved around them, not the other way around.
1-- we actually know relatively little about space and the cosmos.
2-- do you think that we'll one day be able to travel to another planet for a vacation?
1-- I suppose we could actually live on a planet outside of the milky way.
2-- do you think we'll ever get to meet an alien from outer space?
1-- I hope not. I think they would be a threat to those of us that lived on Earth.
2-- you're so old-fashioned. That's what people used to think about people from another country!
1-- point taken. Hopefully one day, we'll live in an interplanetary society.

1--你猜怎么找?我知道一些你不知道的事!
2--什么事?
1--你知道太阳系有多少行星吗?
2--很简单,大家都知道有九大行星.
1--现在可不是啦!你相信吗?他们决定取消冥王星的行星资格了.
2--想得美.别哄我了,我又不是三岁小孩.
1--我是认真的.他们认为冥王星太小了,不够做行星的资格,不过他们尚未对行星的体积究竟该有多大达成一致的意见.
2--这听起来简直是疯了!他们不能对这种事情随便乱改主意.
1--是的,他们可以.如果你还记得的话,以前人们曾经以为地球是平的.
2--我觉得你说得有道理.他们过去还认为人类是特别重要的,以至于太阳都是围绕着我们转的,不存在其他运行的方式.
1--可能我们队空间和宇宙的了解只是非常有限的一点点.
2--你觉得未来我们有可能去其他星球度假吗?
1--我想我们可以居住在银河系以外的其他星球上.
2--你觉得咱们会在外太空遇到外星人吗?
1--我希望不会.我觉得他们可能对生活在地球上的人类是一种威胁.
2--你的思想可太老派了.这就好像人们以前对外国人的看法一样!
1--知道啦.希望未来有一天,我们能生活在一个行星际的社会里.
