@ 51445 太空旅遊
A: 5......4......3......2......1......點火！
wǔ...... sì...... sān...... èr...... yī1...... diǎnhuǒ!
5...4...3...2...1...Lift off!
B: 啊，佳誠，我有點兒害怕。
ā, Jiéchéng, wǒ yǒudiǎnr hàipà.
Ah, Jiacheng. I'm a little scared.
C: 別怕，宇航員都上了幾次太空了，很安全的。再說了，作為中國第一個去太空旅遊的女遊客，女企業家，你肯定會被載入史冊。
bié pà, yǔhángyuán dōu shàng le jǐcì tàikōng le, hěn ānquán de. zàishuō le, zuòwéi Zhōngguó dì yī gè qù tàikōng lǚyóu de nǚ yóukè, nǚ qǐyèjiā, nǐ kěndìng huì bèi zǎirùshǐcè.
Don't be afraid. Astronauts have already been into space a few times; it's really safe. On top of that, being the first female tourist to travel into space; a female entrepreneur, you'll definitely go down in the history books.
B: 好，我就閉著眼睛等待這見證歷史的時刻吧！
hǎo, wǒ jiù bì zhe yǎnjing děngdài zhè jiànzhèng lìshǐ de shíkè ba!
OK, I'll just close my eyes and wait to witness this historical moment!
A: 各位遊客，飛船即將與火箭分離，開始繞地球飛行。
gèwèi yóukè, fēichuán jíjiāng yǔ huǒjiàn fēnlí, kāishǐ rào dìqiú fēixíng.
Travelers, the spaceship is about to separate from the rockets and will begin its flight around the earth.
B: 啊！失重了嗎？我感覺自己飄起來了！
ā! shīzhòng le ma? wǒ gǎnjué zìjǐ piāo qǐlái le!
Ah! Are we weightless? I feel like I'm floating!
A: 現在飛船已經進入太空軌道，艙內環境正常，大家可以解開安全帶，體驗失重狀態，觀賞太空美景。
xiànzài fēichuán yǐjīng jìnrù tàikōng guǐdào, cāng nèi huánjìng zhèngcháng, dàjiā kěyǐ jiěkāi ānquándài, tǐyàn shīzhòng zhuàngtài, guānshǎng tàikōng měijǐng.
The spacecraft has already entered into orbit, and the cabin interior is normal. Everyone can take off their safety belts, experience the zero gravity conditions, and enjoy the beautiful space scenery.
B: 佳誠，別看你那麼強壯，現在我只要用一根手指頭碰你一下，你就會翻跟頭。
Jiéchéng, biékàn nǐ nàme qiángzhuàng, xiànzài wǒ zhī yào yòng yī gēn shǒuzhǐtou pèng nǐ yīxià, nǐ jiù huì fāngēntóu.
Jiacheng, even though you're so strong, right now all I have to do is bump you with my fingertip and you'll do a somersault.
C: 嗯，我相信。好像失重的感覺跟在地面訓練時不一樣，我得好好體會一下！
ng4, wǒ xiāngxìn. hǎoxiàng shīzhòng de gǎnjué gēn zài dìmiàn xùnliàn shí bù yīyàng, wǒ děi hǎohāo tǐhuì yīxià!
Yeah, I believe it. It seems like the feeling of zero gravity is different from the training on the ground. I just have to experience it for myself!
B: 我們飄到窗邊看看吧！
wǒmen piāo dào chuāng biān kàn kan ba!
Let's float over to the window and have a look!
C: 好，帶上相機，多拍點照片！
hǎo, dàishang xiàngjī, duō pāi diǎnr zhàopiàn!
OK, let's float over the window and have a look!
A: 現在我們離地球表面的距離是400公里。飛行一圈的時間大概是90分鐘。飛船每飛行一圈，大家就可以看到一次日落和日出。
xiànzài wǒmen lí dìqiú biǎomiàn de jùlí shì sìbǎi gōngli. fēixíng yī quān de shíjiān dàgài shì jiǔshí fēnzhōng. fēichuán měi fēixíng yī quān, dàjiā jiù kěyǐ kàndào yīcì rìluò hé rìchū.
Right now, we're 400 kilometers from the surface of the earth. The time of one flight around is about 90 minutes. Every time the ship flies around the earth, you can see one sunset and one sunrise.
B: 太美了，我們不是在做夢吧！你看，太陽像個大火球，一下子就蹦出來了！
tài měi le, wǒmen bùshì zài zuòmèng ba! nǐ kàn, tàiyáng xiàng gè dà huǒqiú, yīxiàzi jiù bèng chūlái le!
It's just so beautiful. Are we dreaming or what!? Look, the sun is like a big fireball. It's about to jump out from behind the earth!
C: 嗯，當初我報名參加太空旅遊，我爸說我是敗家子，現在我真覺得傾家蕩產來一趟，值！
ng4, dāngchū wǒ bàomíng cānjiā tàikōng lǚyóu, wǒ bà shuō wǒ shì bàijiāzǐ, xiànzài wǒ zhēn juéde qīngjiādàngchǎn lái yī tāng, zhí!
Yeah. When I signed up for us to take part in this space travel, my dad said I was a spendthrift, but now, I really feel like spending the family fortune on just one trip was worth it!
B: 我也覺得值。哎，你說是不是用肉眼看不到長城啊。我找了半天也沒找到。
wǒ yě juéde zhí. āi, nǐ shuō shìbushì yòng ròuyǎn kānbudào chángchéng a. wǒ zhǎo le bàntiān yě méi zhǎodào.
I think it's worth it too. Hey, isn't it impossible to see the Great Wall with the naked eye? I looked for half a day and still couldn't find it.
C: 楊利偉都沒找到，估計我們也夠嗆。
Yáng Lìwěi dōu méi zhǎodào, gūjì wǒmen yě gòuqiàng.
If even Yang Liwei couldn't find it, I bet we'll be even less likely to.
A: 飛船已經繞地球飛行了5圈，接下來我們要去空間站。
fēichuán yǐjīng rào dìqiú fēixíng le wǔ quān, jiē xiàlái wǒmen yào qù kōngjiānzhàn.
The ship has already flown around the earth 5 times. Next, we'll be going to the space station.
B: 哎，穿著航天服真不舒服。一到空間站，我就去洗澡。
āi, chuān zhe hángtiānfú zhēn bù shūfu. yī dào kōngjiānzhàn, wǒ jiù qù xǐzǎo.
Agh, wearing these astronaut suits is really uncomfortable. I'm taking a shower as soon as we arrive at the space station.
C: 在太空洗澡可不像在家裡，宇航員都是用溼毛巾擦擦就算了。
zài tàikōng xǐzǎo kě bùxiàng zài jiālǐ, yǔhángyuán dōu shì yòng shī máojīn cā ca jiù suànle.
Showering in space is really unlike showering at home. Astronauts just use a wet towel and wipe up a bit.
B: 哦，可以幫我拿根吸管嗎？我喝口水。
ò, kěyǐ bāng wǒ ná gēn xīguǎn ma? wǒ hē kǒu shuǐ.
Oh. Can you grab a straw for me? I want to drink a bit of water.
C: 水也少喝點兒吧！
shuǐ yě shǎo hē diǎnr ba!
You should also drink less water!
B: 沒事兒，我穿了紙尿褲的。
méishìr, wǒ chuān le zhǐniàokù de.
No problem, I'm wearing a disposable diaper.
A: 歡迎各位遊客來到中國國際空間站。
huānyíng gèwèi yóukè láidào Zhōngguó guójì kōngjiānzhàn.
Welcome, travelers, to the China International Space Station.
