Starry Night Pro Plus 6 官方版電子書翻譯計劃<已更新附上原版PDF>

  <前言>

使用過Starry Night Pro Plus 6.4.3 的朋友們都知道在其安裝文件夾裡附有一名為starry  night  pro plus 6  Manual .pdf
的英文原版電子書,在軟件中開啟的幫助文件實際上就是通過調用此電子書來實現,
這幾天嘗試將它翻譯成中文








這對於使用Starry Night Pro Plus 6.4.3 的朋友在操作水平與相關知識上會有極大提升


P.S .  由於該電子書篇幅較多,因此採用"連載"的方式來進行翻譯,若跟帖太多不易閱讀會另開新帖翻譯新章節
大家可以邊看帖邊操作,其中有翻譯不準確或者錯誤處還请不吝指正
帖子中所有圖片均取自於英文原版電子書,為求精準與清晰呈現,某些使用圖形圖像處理軟件修改過~~~

(由於各種因素)
這裡原諒我先從第二章"basics"的正文開始翻譯~~










Using The Controls
使用控件
All of the controls in Starry Night are in
three areas of the screen: the toolbar, the
side panes, and the menu. There is more
than one way to access many of the
features in Starry Night - for example, you
may be able to access a feature through the
main menu and through the side panes.
Starry Night 中所有的控件都在屏幕的三個區域:工具欄，側邊窗格，主菜單
通過不同的途徑可以存取在Starry Night 中的許多功能
例如,您也許可以通過主菜單與側邊窗格來存取同一個功能


Tip: If some of the controls described in
this section appear to be missing from
your version of Starry Night, you may not
have installed QuickTime correctly.
Reinstall QuickTime and you should then
see all of the controls. See
“Installing Starry Night” on page 10 for
more information.
小提示:如果在您的Starry Night 版本中似乎缺乏本節所描述的一些控件,您可能沒有正確的安裝QuickTime

Clicking on a pane causes the pane to slide
out, revealing a set of controls. Each pane
opens to a default width. However, by
clicking along the right edge of the pane
and dragging the mouse, you can make the
pane narrower or wider.
在某個窗格上點擊讓此窗格(從屏幕的左側向右側)滑出,
並且露出一組控件
每個窗格以默認的寬度滑出,然而通過沿著滑出窗格的右側邊緣點擊並且拖動滑鼠,您可以讓窗格更窄或更寬

Changing Your Viewing Direction
變更您的觀察方向


By default, Starry Night always opens
with your view facing south, looking
slightly above the horizon. You can then
adjust this view to look in any direction.
默認Starry Night總是以您朝向正南方的觀察點打開,視野略微高於地平線.您稍後能調整這個觀察點以便查看任何方向


Tip: In Starry Night Pro and Pro Plus, if
you would prefer that Starry Night open
with your view facing in a direction other
than south, choose Preferences from the
File menu (Windows) or the Starry Night
menu (Macintosh), choose General from
the dropbox in the upper left corner of the
Preferences dialog box, and adjust the
“Default Viewing Direction” ring slider.
You can also adjust the default altitude(how high above the horizon you are
looking).
小提示:在 Starry Night 專業版與專業增強版中,如果您要Starry Night 以一個您喜愛的方向來開啟,
從File 菜單中 (Windows)或者Starry Night菜單中(Macintosh)選擇Preferences,
然後從Preferences對話框左上角的下拉式列表中選擇General,
然後調整Default Viewing Direction圓環狀滑桿,
您也可以調整默認的(海拔)高度(您目前的視野垂直於地平線的高度)






The default cursor icon in Starry
Night is a hand. When you hold the
mouse button down, you will see the
hand close, as if it is “grabbing” part of the
sky. If you hold the mouse button down
and drag the mouse, your view shifts in the
direction that you moved the mouse. The
compass icon in the upper right corner of
the screen shows the direction in which
you are viewing. You can also use the
compass points marked along the horizon
to find your viewing direction.
在Starry Night中的默認滑鼠圖標為手掌形.當您按住滑鼠按鈕時,您將看到它閉合並且仿佛要"抓住"天空的一部份
如果您按住滑鼠按鈕不放並且拖動滑鼠,您的視野會朝您移動滑鼠的方向(上下左右)漂移
(在默認肉眼可見天空上拖動手形滑鼠,天空將以順或逆時針旋轉以模擬真實的周日運動,
只有將視場縮小至某一程度後拖動手形滑鼠才會讓視野朝您移動滑鼠的方向漂移)
在屏幕右上角的指南針圖標顯示出您正在觀察的方向，您也能利用指南針沿著地平線上的標記點來尋找您的觀察方位


Tip: You can configure Starry Night to
display scroll bars along the edges of the
window by selecting
View->Show Scroll Bars from the menu.
You can then use these scroll bars in place
of the hand to adjust your viewing
direction.
小提示:您可以通過從主菜單中選擇View->Show Scroll Bars來設置Starry Night顯示沿著窗口邊緣的滾動條(捲軸)
然後您可以利用這些滾動條(捲軸)代替手形滑鼠來調整您的觀察方位

Finding Objects
搜尋目標(天體)




If you are interested in finding a
specific object, such as a planet
or a bright new comet, open the
Find side pane. Click in the text box at the
top of this pane and type in the first few
letters of the object you are looking for. As
you type, Starry Night displays a list of
objects that match your name.
如果您對搜尋特定物體(天體)感興趣,例如行星或者明亮的新彗星,請打開Find側邊窗格
在此窗格頂部的文本框中點擊並且輸入您要尋找的物體(天體)名稱前幾個字母,
當您輸入時,Starry Night會顯示一個與您的輸入匹配的物體(天體)列表,







Once the object that you are looking for
appears in the list, double-click on its
name, and Starry Night will centre on the
object. Several information fields are
listed beside each object in the list of
found objects. See “Find Pane Info” on
page 87 to learn what these fields mean
一旦您要尋找的物體(天體)出現在列表中,在它的名稱上雙擊,Starry Night將會把當前視野調整成以該物體(天體)為中心
有時您在已找到的物體(天體)列表上雙擊後,旁邊會列出幾種不同的信息提示欄,閱讀第87頁的"Find Pane Info”來了解這些提示欄的含義

Note: The same objects might be available
in more than one database. In these cases,
Starry Night will group and list all the
databases in which the object appears.
The primary database in which the object
is found is listed first
注意:有時同樣的物體(天體)資料可能會由多個數據庫(星表)提供,在這種情況下,Starry Night將匯聚並列出所有包含該物體(天體)資料的數據庫(星表)
並且將該物體(天體)首次被發現時加入的數據庫(星表)列在第一位







Tip: The object you are searching for may
be hidden beneath the horizon. If this is the
case, Starry Night will offer you the option
of hiding the horizon or advancing the
time forward to a time when the object will
be above the horizon. Objects below the
horizon are greyed out.
小提示:您搜尋的物體(天體),此刻也許隱藏在地平線下面,
如果是這樣的情況,Starry Night將提供您隱藏地平線顯示的選項,或者推進時間向前的選項(調整到該物體(天體)出現在地平線以上的最佳觀測時刻)
在地平線以下的物體(天體)將以灰色顯示
<重要>如果選擇Best Time 後軟件顯示該天體過中天時刻為白天,則可以關掉在按鈕欄的DayLight
以排除日光對該天體的影響

Panning To Found Objects:
平移到目標天體

By default,
Starry Night slowly pans to objects that
you have double-clicked on in the Find
pane. This feature is handy because it
allows you to see where the new object is
relative to your current view.
默認情況下,Starry Night緩慢平移到您在Find側邊窗格中雙擊的天體上,此功能很方便,因為它允許您觀察到新物體(天體)相對於您當前視野的位置



If you choose Preferences from the File
menu (Windows) or the Starry Night
menu (Macintosh) and choose
Responsiveness from the dropbox in the
upper left corner of the Preferences dialog
box, you will see a slider and checkbox
named “Pan to found objects”. Adjusting
the slider changes the speed at which
Starry Night pans to found objects.
Unchecking the box disables the panning
feature completely, so that your view
changes instantly to the “found” object as
soon as you double-click on it.
若您從File菜單中(Windows)或者Starry Night菜單中(Macintosh)選擇Preferences,然後從Preferences對話框左上角的下拉式列表中選擇Responsiveness,
您將看到一個叫做"Pan to found objects"的勾選框與它右邊的滑桿,左右拖動滑桿以改變Starry Night平移向目標物體(天體)的速度
取消勾選此方框則會完全禁用平移功能,以至於一旦您在目標物體(天體)上雙擊,您的視野立刻變成以它為中心



Tip: If you hit the space bar during a pan,
the program immediately takes you
directly to the object. If something catches
your eye and you want to stop the pan,
press the Esc key.
小提示:若您在平移期間敲擊空格鍵,軟件會立即將您的視野變成以該物體(天體)為中心;如果某事物引起您注意且您要停止平移,按下Esc鍵

Searching Specific Databases:
搜索特定的數據庫(星表)

By default,
Starry Night searches all of its object
databases when you use the Find pane.
默認情況下,當您使用Find側邊窗格時,Starry Night會搜索它所有的天體數據庫(星表)


If you wish, you can
choose to search in only
a specific database, by
clicking the arrow on
the left side of the textbox in the Find
pane, and choosing the appropriate
database from the menu that appears.
“Object Databases” on page 79 describes
each of the object databases included in
Starry Night.
如果您願意,也可以選擇只用某個特定數據庫(星表)搜索,
只需通過點擊Find側邊窗格裡面的文本框左側的箭頭,然後從出現的菜單中選擇相應的數據庫(星表)
第79頁的"Object Databases"介紹了Starry Night中含有的每個天體數據庫(星表)

Enhanced Find:
增強型的搜尋功能:


By default Starry Night
searches for objects whose name begins
with the first letters typed in the text box at
the top of the Find pane. Clicking on the
dropbox that reads “begin with’ opens a
menu with additional search options. You
can customize your search by selecting to
find objects that exactly match, contain or
end with the letters you entered in the text
box.
默認情況下Starry Night會搜索在側邊窗格頂端的文本框裡[輸入的名稱是某字首]的天體
在被稱為“begin with’的下拉框右側箭頭上點擊,會打開一個有更多搜索選項的菜單
您可以自定義您的搜索.通過選擇以"完全符合","包含",或者"字尾"來搜索您在文本框輸入的天體
(由於這段文字基本上是直譯的,所以讀起來有點不通順.
整段大意就是說:搜索的方式很多:可以用您輸入的天體字首或字尾來搜索,或者包含您輸入的字母的天體,或者精確符合您輸入的所有字母的天體
不同的搜索條件有不同的結果,例如同樣是以"ab"來搜索,選擇begins with會得到所有名稱第一二個字母是"ab"的天體列表,選ends with則得到所有名稱最後一二個字母是"ab"的天體列表
選contains得到的天體列表中,有可能第一二,第二三,或第三四,或倒數前二個字母是"ab")

Zenith and Nadir Markers:
天頂與最低點標記:

If you adjust
your view so that you are looking high
above the horizon, you may see a red
marker. This marker identifies the zenith,
the point in the sky that is directly above
your head. If you are located in space, you
can also look straight down to see a
marker for the nadir, the point directly
beneath your feet. If you are located on
Earth or another planet, you are limited in
how far down you can look. You are able
to look only slightly below the horizon,
and cannot see the nadir.
如果您調整您的觀察點來察看地平線以上很高處,您可能會看到一個紅色的標記
此標記識別了天頂處.(天空中您頭頂正上方的那一點)
如果您位於太空,您也能垂直向下看到一個最低點的標記(直接您腳下方的那一點)
如果您位於地球或者其他行星上,您將受限於向下看多低.您只能察看略低於地平線以下,而不能看到最低點.


In Starry Night Enthusiast, Pro and Pro
Pro Plus you can turn off the markers for
the zenith and nadir by choosing
Preferences from the File menu
(Windows) or the Starry Night menu (Macintosh), choosing
General from the dropbox in the upper
left corner of the Preferences dialog box,
and unchecking the “Show zenith and
nadir while scrolling” box.
在Starry Night業餘愛好者版,專業版與專業增強版中您可以通過從File菜單中(Windows)或者Starry Night菜單中(Macintosh)選擇Preferences,
然後從Preferences對話框左上角的下拉式列表中選擇General,並且取消勾選“Show zenith andnadir while scrolling"
來關閉天頂與最低點標記.(不需重啟軟件該設置就能生效)
