问题描述：
大学英语精读第二册Unit 1句子翻译有点小晕!
第三段"The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan（named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof.Manhattan,who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago）"
句面翻译是“卫星被发射到一个叫曼哈顿的地区（它是用金星上伟大的天文学家曼哈顿教授的名字命名的, 两万光年前是他首次用望远镜发现了该地区）.”
好了,我这里就有一个困惑,“光年”应该是距离单位吧,而“20,000 light years ago”很明显是在形容时间的久远,是不是有些矛盾?
