By contrast, the Steady-State model said that the only light that should be around is starlight, either coming directly from stars or reflected off of the gas throughout the Universe.

与此相反，稳态模型说，整个宇宙中唯一的辐射应该是星光，无论它是直接来自恒星或反射自气体。

Back then, there were two major rival theories about the origin of the Universe: the Big Bang theory and the Steady-State model of the Universe.

当时，对宇宙的起源有两个主要的对立理论：宇宙大爆炸理论，稳态宇宙模型。

The discovery means that the universe is likely to continue expanding indefinitely, instead of reaching a steady state or collapsing back in on itself in what some call a "big crunch."

这项发现意味着，宇宙可能不会到达稳定阶段，也不会像有人提到的“大挤压”那样收缩会永远膨胀下去，反而可能会无休止地膨胀下去。
