《國(guó)際彗星期刊》編輯丹尼爾·格林列出一份奇特名稱的單子，有“冰矮星”，“太陽(yáng)系內(nèi)的小天體”，“冰星子”。這些名稱是那些不愿用“行星”這個(gè)詞表示這顆遙遠(yuǎn)冰球的天文學(xué)家想出來(lái)的。

Daniel Green，the editor of International Comet Quarterly, has drawn up a list of the exotic terms(“ice dwarf”, “inter-planetary small body”, “icy planetesimal”) devised by astronomers reluctant to use the word “planet” in connection with the distant snowball.

這次高層會(huì)議將給北約候選成員國(guó)提出一個(gè)“成員資格行動(dòng)計(jì)劃”，這個(gè)計(jì)劃比以前更加詳細(xì)地規(guī)定這些國(guó)家要想增加最終加入北約的可能性就得進(jìn)行的軍事改革。

The summit will present candidates with a “membership action plan” which lays down, in even greater detail than before, the sort of military reforms they should embark on to improve their chances of eventually joining.
