"Absolutely amazing," said the President of the Republic of Venice, known as the Doge.
It was two weeks later. The Doge, his advisers and the admirals of the enetian navy were taking it in roms to peer through Galileo's already improved telescope from the top of Saint Mark's Cathedral.
“真的太奇妙了！”威尼斯共和国的总统惊叹着。大家都称呼他总督。
这时距伽利略做好望远镜已有两星期。总督和他的顾问，以及威尼斯的海军将领们，一群人站在圣可大教堂的顶端，轮流用伽利略改良过的望远镜观看远方景物。
They had seen Padua, thirty-five miles away,really clearly. They could even make out Conegliano more than fifty miles away. Now one of the advisers turned his attention to the island of Murano.
"I can even see the people as they go into church!" he said excitedly.
"Never mind them," said one of the admirals,taking over the telescope and looking out to sea with it.
他们看见55英里外的帕多瓦近在眼前，甚至还看得到50英里外的康内里亚诺。接着有一位顾问把注意力转到穆拉诺岛。
“我还可以看到有人走进教堂。”他兴奋得大叫。
“不要尽看那些，”一位海军上将说着，便把望远镜拿了过来，朝海面上看过去。
He stared for a moment in disbelief.
"There are some ships on the horizon. Without this telescope it would be another two hours before anyone would even know they were there."
That settled it. Every Venetian ship needed a telescope and there were a great many ships in the Venetian navy. Then the army thought they should have some telescopes as well...
Galileo's fortunewas made. It was a pityabout Hans Lippershey, of course. But then, hewasn't as smart as Galileo—nor did hehave such an importantfriend as Paolo Sarpi.
他凝望了好一会儿，然后以不可置信的口吻说：
“远处海平面上有几艘船。如果没有望远镜，恐怕还得再等两个小时，才看得到那些船只的踪影。”
事情就这么敲定了。每一艘威尼斯军舰上都需要一支望远镜——威尼斯海军的船只可多着呢!接着，陆军说他们也应该有几支望远镜…
