CNN News: 中國(guó)計(jì)劃2020年探測(cè)火星

Hi. I`m Carl Azuz. And you`ve landed on a special edition of CNN 10.

歡迎收看CNN學(xué)生新聞,我是卡爾阿祖茲。

Get ready for liftoff. Today`s show is focused entirely on space.

為發(fā)射做準(zhǔn)備!今天的節(jié)目的重點(diǎn)就在于太空。

First up, China is a nation that`s hoping to become one of the world`s major space powers. It`s considering missions that include putting a lander on the dark side of the moon by 2018, a rover on Mars by 2020, a mission to gather samples of Martian soil after that, and a prove to Jupiter in the years that follow.

頭條新聞，中國(guó)有望成為世界主要太空強(qiáng)國(guó)之一。目前正考慮在2018年以前將著陸艙發(fā)色號(hào)到月球的另外一面，在2020年向火星發(fā)射探測(cè)器，這能幫助在未來幾年收集火星的土壤樣本，以及驗(yàn)證木星。

The country also plans to work with other global space agencies, but not NASA. Since 2011, the U.S. Congress hasn`t allowed NASA to work with China because of concerns about security.

同時(shí)中國(guó)還計(jì)劃與其他全球太空機(jī)構(gòu)合作，但是其中并不包括美國(guó)航天局。因?yàn)樽?011年，以后，美國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)出于安全原因已經(jīng)暫緩了部分的太空研發(fā)工作。

As far as U.S. plans for space, things are somewhat up in the air. President Donald Trump hasn`t detailed his space policy yet. Last October, then President Barack Obama wrote that America would send humans to Mars by the 2030s.

根據(jù)美國(guó)太空計(jì)劃,有些事情尚不能知曉。美國(guó)總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普尚未須須宣布詳細(xì)的空間政策。去年10月,美國(guó)總統(tǒng)巴拉克•奧巴馬寫道,2030年以前，美國(guó)將把人類送往太空。

People who support that idea argue that first hand exploration would be more valuable than remote exploration and that Mars can one day serve as a second planet for people to live on and a great base for exploring the broader universe. People who oppose the idea argue that it`s too expense, that it`s too risky and that robots should continue to do the job instead, that they can do it well and more cost effectively.

支持這一想法的人認(rèn)為，對(duì)火星進(jìn)行首次探索比遠(yuǎn)航更有價(jià)值，因?yàn)?，在未來的某一天，火星將?huì)成為人類居住的場(chǎng)所，同時(shí)，也將會(huì)探索更加廣袤的宇宙奠定基礎(chǔ)。但是持反對(duì)意見的人認(rèn)為，耗資巨大，同時(shí)也太危險(xiǎn)，機(jī)器人應(yīng)該可以繼續(xù)工作，也可以做的更好。

One thing that`s not debatable is that getting any person to deep space takes extraordinary effort.

無可爭(zhēng)議，深入探索太空需要付出巨大的努力。
