Searching for the start of life

The beginnings of life provide scientists with some of the most difficult questions of modern science. Our knowledge of the development of cells, from which all forms of life are made, is not complete because we do not understand very well the conditions on our planet four billion years ago. Why and how did cells first appear? Was this very likely to happen under the conditions then, or was it due to chance? Might this happen in other places in the universe?
A group of scientists at University College London are trying to answer these questions. They started by studying the ways in which the first cells on the Earth might have been formed. Next they will use a powerful new telescope to look at places far away in the universe. The scientists hope that the results will improve our understanding of the development of life on the Earth and help us find life on other planets.
Dr Nick Lane, who is in charge of the University College London team, has suggested that 4 billion years ago warm water springs on the floor of the Earth's ocean might have helped to create life. Each spring consists of tiny connected holes that water passes through. The team have created models of these springs in their lab. They have found that they encourage chemical reactions (反应) between hydrogen in the liquids (液体中的氢) that come out of them and the carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) in the sea water. These chemical reactions can create the "building blocks" of life. These building blocks are not living themselves, but when there are enough of them joined together in the right way, they can make living things. The water in the system of springs moves the building blocks around until there are a lot of them in a small area. Things that look very much like real living cells can be made in this way.

D. new forms of life unknown on the Earth

#### 探寻生命的起源
生命的起源给科学家们提出了现代科学中一些最为棘手的问题。我们对于细胞（所有生命形式的构成单位）发展的认知并不完整，因为我们对40亿年前地球的环境了解得不够透彻。细胞最初是为何以及如何出现的？在当时的环境下，细胞的出现是很有可能的，还是出于偶然？这种情况会在宇宙中的其他地方发生吗？
伦敦大学学院的一组科学家正试图解答这些问题。他们从研究地球上最初的细胞可能的形成方式入手。接下来，他们将使用一台强大的新型望远镜来观测宇宙中遥远的地方。科学家们希望这些研究结果能够增进我们对地球上生命发展的理解，并帮助我们在其他行星上找到生命。
负责伦敦大学学院研究团队的尼克·莱恩博士提出，40亿年前，地球海底的温泉可能对生命的诞生起到了推动作用。每个温泉都由微小的相连孔洞组成，水可以从中流过。研究团队在实验室里制作了这些温泉的模型。他们发现，这些温泉会促使从其中流出的液体中的氢与海水中的二氧化碳（$CO_2$）发生化学反应。这些化学反应能够生成生命的“构建模块”。这些构建模块本身并非生命体，但当有足够多的构建模块以正确的方式结合在一起时，它们就能构成生命体。温泉系统中的水会带动这些构建模块移动，直到在一个小区域内聚集了大量的构建模块。通过这种方式，能够制造出看起来非常像真实活细胞的物质。
