#头条创作挑战赛#

Calls to disassemble all telescopes on Mauna Kea or to ban future development there ignore the reality that astronomy and Hawaiian culture both seek to answer big questions about who we are, where we come from and where we are going. Perhaps that is why we explore the starry skies, as if answering a primal calling to know ourselves and our true ancestral homes.

【句子结构分析】

disassemble: v. to take apart a machine or structure so that it is in separate pieces 拆卸；拆开

【句子参考译文】

拆掉莫纳克亚山上所有的望远镜或者禁止在那里开发的呼声忽视了这一现实——天文学和夏威夷的文化都在寻求回答关于我们是谁、我们在哪儿、我们将要去哪儿的大问题。或许那正是我们探索浩瀚星空的原因，好像我们在回应一个原始的召唤，即知道我们自己、知道我们祖先真正的家园。
