作为例子，这个球面代表了恒星或其他质量附近的空间是怎样弯曲的-光通过这个扭曲空间所引起的弯曲称为引力透镜效应。
The sphere, for instance, represents how space is bent around a star or other mass - light passing through this warped space bends in an effect called gravitational lensing.
在有大质量物体存在时，例如恒星，空间-时间会被扭曲或弯曲。
Space-time can be distorted or curved by the presence of massive objects, such as stars.
引力透镜利用这样的一个现象：巨大的天体会扭曲它附近的时空组成物。比如，当光线经过恒星或行星附近时会发生弯曲。
Gravitational lensing takes advantage of the fact that large celestial objects such as stars or planets warp the fabric of space-time such that light rays passing nearby are bent.
