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 天之后,3 名搭乘神舟十三号飞船的中国宇航员在周六返回地球,结束了中国迄今为止历时最久的载人航天任务,同时,中国依然在成为航天大国的征途上砥砺前行。
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.***
中国官媒 CCTV 传来的直播镜头显示,神舟十三号载人飞船的返回舱在一团尘土中成功着陆;此前,地面工作人员清理了着陆场地,在返回舱着陆后,他们搭乘直升机赶到了现场。
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.
在北京时间 10 点(格林尼治标准时间 2 点)前几分钟,翟志刚、叶光富和王亚平(2 名男性、1 名女性)成功着陆,结束了在天宫空间站的天和核心舱里为期 6 个月的任务。
The ground crew applauded as the astronauts each took turns to report that they were in good physical condition.
当 3 名宇航员轮流报告自己的身体状态良好时,地面工作人员们掌声连连。
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 名宇航员乘坐的神舟十三号载人飞船在中国西北地区的戈壁沙漠中发射升空。中国计划在 2021-2022 年间,执行 4 次载人航天任务,而神舟十三号正是其中的第二次,这 4 次任务的目的是组装中国首个“永久性空间站”——天宫(意思是天上的宫殿)。
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 月时,王亚平成为了第一名完成太空行走的中国女性,当时她正在和同事翟志刚一起在长达 6 小时的作业中安装天宫空间站的设备。
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.
指令长翟志刚今年 55 岁,前空军飞行员,在 2008 年完成了中国史上首次太空行走;叶光富则是中国人民解放军飞行员。
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.
在轨期间,这 3 人完成了两次太空行走,开展了数项科学实验,安装了设备,为未来空间站的建设进行了一些技术测试。
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.
在过去的几周里,3 名宇航员为即将搭乘神舟十四号载人飞船前来的成员们整理了舱内,并准备好了机舱的设备和设施。神舟十四号飞船预计将会在接下来的几个月里发射升空。
