These people haven’t sent us a message because they can’t hear us. They haven’t visited the earth because they prefer life on Mars. They have used parts from the other spacecraft from earth to make TVs, radios and cars.
Language Points

the other (s)与other (s)的区别:
(1) the other与other后可加名词;
the others与others后不加名词;
(2) the other (s)表示一定范围内除去一部分以外后其余
的全体;other (s)表示除去一部分以后的(一些),
但不是剩下 的全体。

一朵花是红的,另一朵 (花) 是白的。
Give me some other apples/others, please!
请另给我一些(苹果)吧!
2. None of them has an environment like that of the earth. 它们中没有一个有像地球这样的环境。
no one与none的区别:
no one同义词为 nobody, 只用于指人,其后不跟of短语,作主语时谓语用单数,no one 只能回答以who开头的问句;
3. With so many stars in the universe, are we alone?
宇宙中有这么多的恒星,我们是唯一的吗?
alone与lonely的区别:
(1) alone既可作形容词,又可作副词,意为“单独的/地,独自的/地”,没有感彩。
(2) lonely只作为形容词,意为“孤独的,寂寞的”,具有感彩。
