Exoplanets in our universe may be home to abundant life that enjoys a more hospitable home than we do on Earth,surprising research has revealed.The news may help in the search for alien life.
令人惊讶的研究揭示，我们宇宙中的系外行星可能拥有丰富的生命，这些生命的家园比我们地球上的更友好。这个消息可能有助于寻找外星生命
Researchers are looking for oceans on exoplanets which have"the greatest capacity to host globally abundant and active life,"said geophysicist Stephanie Olson from the University of Chicago.
芝加哥大学的地球物理学家斯蒂芬妮·奥尔森说，研究人员正在系外行星上寻找"拥有全球最丰富和活跃生命能力的海洋"。

Her team used special NASA software to model a range of exoplanets to see which would be most likely to develop and sustain life.This led to a"surprising conclusion,"which revealed"conditions on some exoplanets with favorable ocean circulation patterns could be better suited to support life that is more abundant or more active than life on Earth,"Olson said.
她的团队使用美国宇航局的特殊软件对一系列系外行星进行建模，以观察哪些行星最有可能发展和维持生命。这导致了一个"令人惊讶的结论"，揭示了"一些具有良好海洋环流模式的系外行星的条件可能更适合支持比地球上的生命更丰富或更活跃的生命，"奥尔森说。
These oceans have similar upswelling to Earth's,and because this creates an upward flow of nutrients from the depths of oceans to the sunlit portions where photosynthetic life lives,meaning there is a nutrient resupply and more biological activity.
这些海洋有类似于地球的隆起，因为这创造了一个向上流动的营养物质从海洋深处到阳光充足的地方，那里有光合生物生活，这意味着有一个养分补给和更多的生物活动。

The research found that thicker atmospheres,slower rotations and the presence of continents all created higher upswelling rates.
研究发现，较厚的大气层、较慢的旋转和大陆的存在都会造成较高的上升速度。
The new research will help extend the current parameters used in the search for habitable exoplanets,which currently focus on temperatures and the potential for liquid oceans."Not all oceans are equally hospitable,"Olson explains,"and some oceans will be better places to live than others due to their global circulation patterns."
这项新的研究将有助于扩展目前用于寻找适合居住的系外行星的参数，这些参数目前主要关注温度和液态海洋的潜力。"并非所有的海洋都同样适合居住，"奥尔森解释说，"由于其全球环流模式，某些海洋将比其他海洋更适合居住。"
Scientists have estimated that up to 35 percent of all known exoplanets that are bigger than Earth should be rich in water,so there's plenty of potential out there.
科学家们估计，在所有已知的比地球大的系外行星中，高达35%的行星应该富含水分，因此存在着大量的可能性。
