If all goes as planned, a drill-shaped robot will melt through the surface ice.

如果一切按计划进行，一个钻形机器人将融化地表冰层。

Depending on depth, the water underneath would continue to remain liquid for thousands of years, insulated by the surface ice.

根据深度， 下面的水将继续保持液态数千年，并被表层冰隔绝。

If we could melt the surface ice, some of the released oxygen could populate the atmosphere and we could have a water world on our hands.

如果我们能够融化表面的冰，释放的一些氧气可以进入大气层，我们就可以拥有一个水世界。
