基本释义

Kepler relies on a set of four flywheels to stabilize its pointing and lock onto its target stars. The spacecraft was designed to tolerate one broken wheel, but not two. One gave out last year, and this May the really bad news arrived—a second wheel had failed. The Kepler team says they can't revive the wheels. 开普勒望远镜依靠四个惯性轮稳定指向，锁定后拍摄行星。它被设定为容许一个惯性轮故障，但是两个都坏就不行了。去年有一个惯性轮坏掉了，现在又坏了一个。开普勒团队说他们无法修复这个轮子。——《科学美国人》

vital /ˈvaɪtl/

vitamin /ˈvɪtəmɪn/
n.维生素，维他命
vivacious /vɪˈveɪʃəs/
adj.活泼的，有生气的
regenerate /rɪˈdʒenəreɪt/[v] To regenerate something means to develop and improve it to make it more active, successful, or important, especially after a period when it has been getting worse.

[v] If something refreshes you when you are hot, tired, or thirsty, it makes you feel cooler or more energetic.
