English to Spanish: Mars Nation I - General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English THE SUN FLOATED RIGHT ABOVE THE HORIZON IN A ROSY SKY. Lance squinted at it. It looked much smaller from here than it did from Earth, but its light could still blind him if he gazed right into it. After a few more arc minutes around the sun, the sky shifted to blue. Sharon, the pilot whose studies had also included meteorology, had told him about this, but he hadn’t believed her. He needed to apologize to her, even though the others knew by now that he was one of those who had to see such things with his own eyes.
“Everything alright?” he heard Mike’s voice say over his helmet radio.
“Yes, Commander. It’s very romantic.” “You have things to do.”
Thanks, Mike, he thought. Like I didn’t know that already. Lance took his time anyway. It was to be his first step onto the new planet that would be his home for the next six months. Until now, all he had done was travel across the Mars surface from the landing site of the Endeavour to their quarters inside the Rover’s pressurized cabin, which he reached via a pressurized tube.
He squinted again at the distant sun. It looked white from here, not yellow like from Earth, which might explain why it felt less warm. Of course, that wasn’t the fault of the color, but rather the distance. “We need to optimize the disembarking process,” he said. “If it takes us six hours every time, we’ll never get any work done.”
“Don’t worry,” Mike replied. “Even after the sun sets, it will stay light for a while. The dust in the atmosphere will keep reflecting the sunlight even after the sun has dropped below the horizon.”
Translation - Spanish EL SOL FLOTABA SOBRE EL HORIZONTE EN UN CIELO ROSADO. Lance lo miró con los ojos entrecerrados. Parecía mucho más pequeño desde aquí que desde la Tierra, pero su luz aún podía cegarle si lo miraba fijamente. Después de unos minutos más de arco alrededor del sol, el cielo se tornó azul. Sharon, la piloto cuyos estudios también habían incluido la meteorología, le había hablado de esto, pero no le había creído. Necesitaba disculparse con ella, aunque los demás ya sabían que él era uno de los que tenía que ver esas cosas con sus propios ojos.
—¿Todo bien? —Oyó la voz de Mike en la radio de su casco.
—Sí, Comandante. Es muy romántico.
—Tienes cosas que hacer.
Gracias, Mike, pensó. Como si no lo supiera ya. Lance se tomó su tiempo de todos modos. Iba a ser su primer paso en el nuevo planeta que sería su hogar durante los próximos seis meses. Hasta ahora, todo lo que había hecho era viajar a través de la superficie de Marte desde el sitio de aterrizaje del Endeavour hasta sus cuarteles dentro de la cabina presurizada del Rover, a la que llegaba a través de un tubo presurizado.
Volvió a entrecerrar los ojos ante el lejano sol. Desde aquí parecía blanco, no amarillo como en la Tierra, lo que podría explicar por qué se sentía menos caliente. Por supuesto, eso no era culpa del color, sino la distancia.
—Necesitamos optimizar el proceso de diseminación —dijo—. Si nos lleva seis horas cada vez, nunca terminaremos el trabajo.
—No te preocupes —contestó Mike—. Incluso después de que el sol se ponga, permanecerá iluminado por un tiempo. El polvo en la atmósfera seguirá reflejando la luz del sol incluso después de que el sol haya caído bajo el horizonte.
