TEGA意为热力与释出气体分析仪。TEGA是一个非常复杂的机器。

This unit over here...the TEGA instrument...is kind of like an electronic nose.

这里的组件是...TEGA...好像电子鼻。

If carbon-based molecules exist in the Martian subsurface ice, TEGA will find their organic signatures in the gases.

如果碳分子存在于火星表面的冰里，TEGA就会发现气体里的有机特征。

We were in our final testing, and the TEGA just wouldn't cooperate and wouldn't work. It put us pretty far behind.

我们做最后的测试，因为TEGA不工作。这让我们大大落后。

I, unfortunately, have seen the loss of a mission before, in Mars Polar Lander. I was on the TEGA I team.

不幸的是，我曾经见证过上次任务失败，就是火星极地着陆者那次。当时我在TEGA 1代团队。

If there are organics hidden under the Martian surface... Phoenix will be able to sniff them out with a soil-analyzing instrument called TEGA.

如果有机物藏在火星地表下，凤凰号将借助一个叫TEGA的土壤分析仪发现它们。

So, this is the TEGA that we've used here on Earth to practice for what we're going to do on the surface of Mars.

这是TEGA，我们在地球上练习它将在火星上要做的事情。
