Massive stars give, but they also take away-and that puts the inner limit on the galactic habitable zone.
大质量恒星有所予，但它们同样有所取，这便给银河系中的“宜居地带”造成了另外的限制。
The range of distance from a star that will allow water to remain a liquid is called the habitable zone.

而首次在可居住带发现这么多的这类行星是朝着这个目标迈出的一大步。
In 2007, for instance, HARPS discovered another super-Earth, called Gliese 581d, that may lie within the habitable zone of its star.
例如，在2007年，HARPS发现了另一个命名为葛利斯581的超级地球，它可能处于宿主恒星的宜居区。
Better still, it's located in what's known as a habitable zone, orbiting Gliese at just the right distance to have liquid water.
更好的是，它处在其星系的宜居带以内，围绕恒星格利泽的轨道距离适中，液态水足以存在。
The habitable zone refers to the orbital space around the star that's not so close to the star that the planets surface would boil.
适合居住的地带指恒星周围的轨道空间，不会因离恒星太近而导致行星表面处于沸腾状态。
When astronomers talk about the "habitable zone," they mean the shell around a star where the temperatures are right for liquid water.
当天文学家谈及“可居住区”时，他们指的是恒星以外温度适于液态水存在的空间层。
"You're smack dab in the middle of the habitable zone, so that's perfect," says Kasting, who has studied the two planets on the zone's edges.
Kasting表示“就那么正好在可居住区的正中间，堪称完美”，他曾研究过之前位于区域边缘的两颗星球。
But the discovery of Earth-like planets around Gliese 581 - both 581e and 581d, which was in the habitable zone - has also caught the public imagination.
但是Gliese 581e和Gliese 581d这两颗类地行星的发现勾起了公众无穷的想象力，它们都位于Gliese 581的轨道之上，而且处于宜居带中。
But Eta Corvi is significantly brighter than the sun, so its habitable zone, where life-sustaining liquid water can exist, is correspondingly farther out.
然而EtaCorvi是一颗比太阳明亮得多的恒星。因此它的可生存区域(即支持生命存在的液态水可以存在的区域)相应地要大得多。
And one of them, known as HD 85512 b, circling a star about 36 light-years away in the constellation Vela, is sitting just inside its sun's habitable zone.
