Question

extraterrestrial adj.地球(或其大气圈)外的；行星际的n.外星人 (1) 他们声称在同外星人保持联络。(2) 科幻片经常以外星生命为主题。(3) 这位外星人会觉得，我们都在讲一种语言中的不同方言。 The word extraterrestrial makes most people think of big-headed green aliens in spaceships, and if you saw one you'd be right to describe it that way. But as both a noun and an adjective, the word is most often used by scientists to talk about anything — life, rocks, or environments on other planets — that happens outside of the earth's atmosphere. This makes sense when you know that in Latin, extra means "outside" and terra means "earth."
