嫦娥「奔月」！
中國大陸在10月底成功地發射嫦娥1號月球探測衛星到外太空 這個任務是為其2012年的月球登陸計畫做準備. 春華恰巧是發射站的觀光客 她親眼目睹了嫦娥1號的升空 與朋友在e-mail裡討論這次的奇特經驗 我們來看一下她是怎麼用英文掰這個話題!
目睹→ witness [ ]
發射 → launch [ ]
1.我感到榮幸能夠目睹嫦娥1號的發射升空，她起飛時帶著一條長煙。
這句話，英文要怎麼說?
I felt honored that I witnessed the launch of the Chang'e 1, which took off with a trial of smoke.
[解析]: "chang'e"是漢語拼音，/e/是注音符號裡的「ㄜ」。
探測船 → probe [ ]
月球表面 → lunar surface
軌道→ orbit [ ]
2.作為首架探測月球表面的探測船，嫦娥1號將要在幾天之間進入月球軌道。
這句話，英文要怎麼說?
As the first probe to explore the lunar surface, Chang'e 1 will enter the Moon's orbit in days.
[解析]: 「幾天後」用"in days"，「幾個星期後」用"in weeks"。
起源、由來→ origin [ ]
3.當我的外國朋友問起嫦娥名字的出處時，我告訴他們這名字來自古老的中國神話。
這句話，英文要怎麼說?
When my foreign friends asked me the origin of the name "Chang'e", I told them it is from China's ancient myth.
著陸 → landing [ ]
4.隨著這次的成功發射，我期望著2012年的預計月球登陸。
這句話，英文要怎麼說?
With the successful launch this time, I look forward to the projected moon landing in 2012.
以下就是春華給友人的e-mail:
