  Now they have come up with a new theory that says the universe may be shaped tike a soccer ball. The theory also says that the universe is finite (有限的), meaning it has boundaries.(邊界)

  Scientists say that old beliefs about the shape of the universe may be wrong. Before, people thought that the universe was flat or shaped like a circle or a saddle.(馬鞍)
