Passage 18
Response to the Plan for an Additional Lighting System
I oppose the university’s plan to purchase an additional outdoor lighting system. The university says it would make our historic campus more attractive by illuminating our buildings at night. However, the university would spend an extra $1,000 per month for electricity. Instead, I recommend the money be used to complete the library renovation project as quickly as possible. That’s not the only reason we shouldn't get the new system. These powerful lights would brighten the sky as well as the buildings and seriously interfere with the use of our astronomy equipment. Our academic mission must come first - and the practice of astronomy is done best when the sky is darkest.

对附加照明系统计划的回应
我反对学校购买额外户外照明系统的计划。该大学表示，通过在晚上照亮我们的建筑，将使我们历史悠久的校园更具吸引力。然而，学校每个月要多花1000美元的电费。相反，我建议用这笔钱尽快完成图书馆的翻新工程。
这并不是我们不应该采用新系统的唯一原因。这些强大的光线会照亮天空和建筑物，并严重干扰我们天文设备的使用。我们的学术使命必须放在第一位，天文学的实践是在天空最黑暗的时候做得最好。
