6 個月的太空之旅後,3 名中國宇航員返回地球
Three Chinese astronauts aboard the Shenzhou-13 spacecraft returned to Earth on Saturday after 183 days in space, ending China's longest crewed mission as it continues its quest to become a major space power.
在太空中生活了 183 天之後,3 名搭乘神舟十三號飛船的中國宇航員在周六返回地球,結束了中國迄今為止歷時最久的載人航天任務,同時,中國依然在成為航天大國的征途上砥礪前行。
Live footage from state broadcaster CCTV showed the capsule landing in a cloud of dust, with ground crew who had kept clear of the landing site rushing in helicopters to reach the capsule.***
中國官媒 CCTV 傳來的直播鏡頭顯示,神舟十三號載人飛船的返回艙在壹團塵土中成功著陸;此前,地面工作人員清理了著陸場地,在返回艙著陸後,他們搭乘直升機趕到了現場。
The two men and one woman — Zhai Zhigang, Ye Guangfu and Wang Yaping — returned to Earth shortly before 10 am Beijing time (0200 GMT), after six months aboard the Tianhe core module of China's Tiangong space station.
在北京時間 10 點(格林尼治標準時間 2 點)前幾分鐘,翟誌剛、葉光富和王亞平(2 名男性、1 名女性)成功著陸,結束了在天宮空間站的天和核心艙裏為期 6 個月的任務。
The ground crew applauded as the astronauts each took turns to report that they were in good physical condition.
當 3 名宇航員輪流報告自己的身體狀態良好時,地面工作人員們掌聲連連。
The trio was originally launched in the Shenzhou-13 from China's northwestern Gobi Desert last October, as the second of four crewed missions during 2021-2022 sent to assemble the country's first permanent space station — Tiangong, which means "heavenly palace."***
去年 10 月,3 名宇航員乘坐的神舟十三號載人飛船在中國西北地區的戈壁沙漠中發射升空。中國計劃在 2021-2022 年間,執行 4 次載人航天任務,而神舟十三號正是其中的第二次,這 4 次任務的目的是組裝中國首個“永久性空間站”——天宮(意思是天上的宮殿)。
Wang became the first Chinese woman to spacewalk last November, as she and her colleague Zhai installed space station equipment during a six-hour stint.
去年 11 月時,王亞平成為了第壹名完成太空行走的中國女性,當時她正在和同事翟誌剛壹起在長達 6 小時的作業中安裝天宮空間站的設備。
Mission commander Zhai, 55, is a former fighter pilot who performed China's first spacewalk in 2008, while Ye is a People's Liberation Army pilot.
指令長翟誌剛今年 55 歲,前空軍飛行員,在 2008 年完成了中國史上首次太空行走;葉光富則是中國人民解放軍飛行員。
The trio has completed two spacewalks, carried out numerous scientific experiments, set up equipment and tested technologies for future construction during their time in orbit.
在軌期間,這 3 人完成了兩次太空行走,開展了數項科學實驗,安裝了設備,為未來空間站的建設進行了壹些技術測試。
The astronauts spent the past few weeks tidying up and preparing the cabin facilities and equipment for the crew of the incoming Shenzhou-14, expected to be launched in the coming months.
在過去的幾周裏,3 名宇航員為即將搭乘神舟十四號載人飛船前來的成員們整理了艙內,並準備好了機艙的設備和設施。神舟十四號飛船預計將會在接下來的幾個月裏發射升空。
