So quasars are spewing out charged particles.

所以类喷出带电粒子。

We detect quasars with radio telescopes and radio antenna.

我们用射电望远镜和无线电天线探测到类。

Happily, the name was shortened to quasar, which, you'll admit, is way cooler.

幸运的是，个名字被缩短为类，，个名字要酷多。

How can quasars produce radio waves and why can't I listen to them?

类如何产生无线电波，为什么我能听它们？

I didn't know what a proton was, or a protein, didn't know a quark from a quasar, didn't understand how geologists could look at a layer of rock on a canyon wall and tell you how old it was, didn't know anything really.

我知道什么是质子，什么是蛋白质，知道夸克和类有什么区别，理解地质学家怎么只要看一眼峡谷壁上的一层岩石，就能出它的年龄--我确实什么也知道。

Almost all the telescopes we have in the world are designed to peer at very tiny little pieces of the sky way off in the distance to see a quasar or hunt for black holes or look at a distant galaxy.

世界上差多所有的望远镜都旨在观察遥远天空中的极小东西，观察一颗类，或寻找黑洞，或观察一个遥远的系。
