It seems impossible today. But by the year 2300, we will be able to live on Venus. Here is a guide to what I think life on Venus will be like. First of all, the temperature on Venus is too high to support life. However, scientists will try to find a way to make spacesuits and build space houses to keep us cool. They will use the power of the sun. All the things will be very expensive on Venus because they are from Earth. On Venus, the food will be very dry and tasteless. The best thing about life on Venus is the transport. Because there are fewer people on Venus than on Earth, there is more space and fewer cars on the roads. Also, high-speed electric trains connect people's homes to everywhere else. People can go to school, go shopping and go to work fast, safely and conveniently, just within a few minutes.

如今这似乎不可能，但到2300年，我们将能够在金星上生活。以下是我对金星生活的设想。首先，金星的温度太高，无法维持生命。然而，科学家将尝试找到制造航天服和建造太空房屋的方法来为我们降温，他们将利用太阳的能量。金星上的所有东西都会非常昂贵，因为它们都来自地球。在金星上，食物会非常干燥且无味。金星生活中最好的一点是交通，因为金星上的人口比地球少，道路上的空间更多，汽车也更少。此外，高速电动列车将人们的家与其他地方连接起来，人们可以在几分钟内快速、安全、方便地去上学、购物和上班。
