Audio script

I think the inhabitants of Jupiter may be very different to human beings. This is how imagine them: They may be much bigger and more powerful than humans. Jupiterians may have eight legs and be able to move very fast. They may have a lot of hair all over their bodies and their skin might be very thin so they can live in temperatures of around - 145 degrees Celsius. They may have four eyes and be able to see very far. They may also have a very good sence of smell and they may even be able to sense others' feelings like happiness or fear. And I don't think they eat and drink like us. Instead, they get all their energy from the rocks. They may charge their bodies by plugging their feet into the rock, just like charging a battery. That way, they don't even need to breathe air.

The only way they may be similar to us is they live in family units of parents and children. They may also use language to communicate wizn each other.

Hướng dẫn dịch:

Tôi nghĩ rằng cư dân của sao Mộc có thể rất khác với con người. Có thể tưởng tượng thế này: Họ có thể lớn hơn và mạnh hơn con người. Dân cư trên Sao Mộc có thể có tám chân và có thể di chuyển rất nhanh. Họ có thể có rất nhiều tóc trên khắp cơ thể và làn da của họ có thể rất mỏng để họ có thể sống ở nhiệt độ khoảng -145o C. Họ có thể có bốn mắt và có thể nhìn thấy rất xa. Họ cũng có thể có mùi thơm và thậm chí họ có thể cảm nhận được cảm xúc của người khác như hạnh phúc hay sợ hãi. Và tôi không nghĩ họ ăn và uống như chúng ta. Thay vào đó, họ nhận được tất cả năng lượng từ những tảng đá. Họ có thể sạc cơ thể bằng cách cắm chân vào tảng đá, giống như sạc pin. Bằng cách đó, họ thậm chí không cần hít thở không khí.

Cách duy nhất họ có thể giống với chúng ta là họ sống trong các gia đình của cha mẹ và con cái. Họ cũng có thể sử dụng ngôn ngữ để giao tiếp với nhau.
