地球表面释放出从吸收自太阳的红外辐射，温室气体将这种能量作为热部分地保留下来，使得地球成为可以繁衍生息之地。
The Earth’s surface emits infrared radiation it has absorbed from the sun. Greenhouse gases partly trap that energy as heat, keeping the planet habitable.
氢分子发出红外线的原因是它们吸收了恒星发出的紫外线，或者是受到了恒星喷发的炽热气体流的加热。
The molecules emit the infrared light that they have absorbed ultraviolet radiation from the star or have been heated by the wind from the star.
基本的原理我们都很清楚，并可以在一分钟内给一个不是科学家的好奇者解释完毕（就像这样：温室气体可以让阳光直接穿透到地球表面，地表受热就会升温，于是就会散发红外辐射，辐射能量被大气吸收，大气就被加热了。
We understand the basic physics just fine, and can explain it in a minute to a curious non-scientist.
