Living in space

在太空生活

Earth and space. The Earth is a big round planet. This is what it looks like from space. Astronauts travel into space to live and work. The word astronaut means "star sailor".

地球和太空。地球是一颗又大又圆的行星。 这是它在太空中的样子。 宇航员进入太空生活和工作。 宇航员这个词的意思是“星际水手”。

Space school. To become an astronaut, you have to go to space school and learn how to live in space. On Earth when things jump they go up and then down. An invisible force called gravity pulls them down. In space there is very little gravity so everything floats. Astronauts need lots of training to know what to do when they float in space.

学校空间。要成为一名宇航员，你必须去太空学校学习如何在太空生活。 在地球上，当物体跳跃时，它们先上后下。 一种无形的引力把它们往下拉。 在太空中，重力很小，所以一切都漂浮着。 宇航员需要接受大量的训练，才能知道他们在太空中漂浮时该做什么。

At space school, astronauts learn how to work while floating in water. It feels like working in space. Astronauts also try out emergency escapes. They slide down a pole onto a soft mat.

在太空学校，宇航员学习如何漂浮在水中工作。 感觉就像在太空中工作。 宇航员也会尝试紧急逃生。 他们从一根杆子上滑到柔软的垫子上。

Preparing to go Astronauts fly to space in a space shuttle. The shuttle leaves from a launch pad. The shuttle looks like a plane with a big fuel tank and two white rockets.

宇航员乘坐航天飞机飞向太空。 航天飞机从发射台起飞。 航天飞机看起来像一架飞机，有一个大油箱和两个白色火箭。

The astronauts put on special orange suits. They travel to the shuttle in an elevator. Then they cross a bridge into the shuttle. The astronauts lie in the nose of the shuttle and wait until it's time to go.

宇航员们穿上了特制的橙色宇航服。 他们乘坐电梯前往航天飞机。 然后他们穿过一座桥进入航天飞机。 宇航员们躺在航天飞机的机头里，等待着出发的时刻。
