NPR's Joe Palca reports astronauts say these planets are in what's called the habitable zone.
据npr新闻的乔·帕尔卡报道，宇航员表示，这些行星位于适合居住的地带。
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。
The range of distance from a star that will allow water to remain a liquid is called the habitable zone.

Four planets were already known around the star, with two lying near the inner and outer edges of the habitable zone, where liquid water - and therefore potentially life - could exist on its surface.
已有四颗围绕该恒星的行星被发现，其中两颗分别位于宜居区的两端。宜居区是使生命得以可能的液态水能存在的区域。

But it's in the habitable zone because Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star about 100 times fainter than the sun.
但因为比邻星是一颗红矮星，它比太阳暗100倍左右，因此行星位于宜居区。
We are certain that it is in the habitable zone and if it has a surface it ought to have a nice temperature.
我们确定该行星位于宜居区域内，如果这一行星有地表的话，温度会很适中。
If the planet is on the cooler edge of the habitable zone, it could go through cycles of freezing and thawing.
如果行星处于可居住区的更冷(外)端，它或许会进入冰冻和解冻周期。
Traveling on a nearly circular, 229-day orbit around both host stars, the planet lies outside the system's habitable zone—the region where liquid water, and thus life as we know it, could exist.
它的运行轨道为近似的圆形，以229天为周期，围绕着两个恒星作轨道运行，这个行星位于这个系统的可居住区之外——所谓可居住区，那里有液体水，正像我们所知道的那样，那里可能会有生命的存在。
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 results suggest that the current definition of "habitable zone" may be too simplistic.
研究结果表明，当前对于“可居住区”的定义可能过于简单化。
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。
Astronomers have looked for the presence of giant planets in the habitable zone of Alpha Centauri, the nearby star system that is home to Pandora in the film, and have not found one.
天文学家已经开始在半人马座阿尔法星(Alpha Centauri)的“适宜居住区”寻找大型行星的踪迹了，半人马座阿尔法星附近的恒星系正是电影中潘多拉星球的所在地，不过他们目前还未找到大型行星。
And there's hot news that a similar star, 40 light years away, may have three planets in its habitable zone.
另一则热门消息称，40光年外的一颗相似恒星的宜居区可能存在三颗行星。
Some of them will likely be in the so-called habitable zone, where the temperatures are just right for liquid water.
其中的一些将很可能就是通常所说的可居住地带，那里的温度正好适合于液态水的生成。
