The geocentric theory continue to prevail in Western thought for almost 2,000 years, until the 17th century.
直到17世纪,地心说仍然在西方思想中盛行了近2000年。
The ancient Greeks believed that what we called the solar system was in fact the entire universe, and that the universe was geocentric.
古希腊人坚信,我们所谓的太阳系实际上就是整个宇宙,并且宇宙以地球为中心。
Geocentric means Earth-centered, so the geocentric view holds that the Sun, the planets, and the stars, all revolve around the Earth, which is stationary.
地心论是指以地球为中心,所以地心论认为,太阳、行星和恒星都围绕着地球旋转,而地球是静止的。
However, there were a few astronomers in Greece and other places who didn´t agree with the geocentric view, for example, a Greek astronomer who lived in the third century B.C.E.
然而,在希腊和其他地方有一些天文学家不同意地心说的观点,例如,一位生活在公元前三世纪的希腊天文学家。
It was so intuitive, so sensible that the Earth was the center of the universe that astronomers found ways to explain those seemingly inconsistent phenomena within the geocentric view.
天文学家们认为,“地球是宇宙的中心”这种说法是非常直观、合情合理的,以至于当他们发现与地心论不符的现象时,也会想办法找理由去解释。
