meridiani planum meaning in English

子午线平原

Exactly three weeks later , a similar exploration rover named " opportunity " landed almost half - way around the planet in an area called meridiani planum
三周后一艘名叫"机会号"的同型探测车降落在行星的另一面叫子午线平原的区域
On the other side of the planet , the signs of water that led to meridiani planum being chosen as a landing site were much subtler , making it more of a gamble
而位于星球另一侧的梅里蒂亚尼平原曾有水源的迹象却并不那么另人信服，这使得选择它为着陆地点，看起来多少像是一场赌博。
But these patterns present a bit of a puzzle : unlike gusev crater , where the raised rim would have allowed a deep lake to form , meridiani planum has no apparent edge to the north , nothing to keep water from draining away
不过，这些图案却带来了个小小的难题：不像古谢夫盆地具有可供深湖形成的突起边界，梅里蒂亚尼平原的北方没有明显边界，没什么可以阻止水一点点地流尽。
