双语热点：神舟十二飞船出征！附外太空英文词汇 神舟十二号中国载人航天飞船已经准备就绪，瞄准北京时间 6 月 17 日 9 时 22 分发射。 飞行乘组由航天员聂海胜、刘伯明和汤洪波组成，聂海胜担任指令长，备份航天员为翟 志刚、王亚平、叶光富。 The Shenzhou-12 manned spaceship will be launched at 9:22 am Thursday (Beijing Time) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, announced the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) on Wednesday. The spaceship will take three male astronauts -- Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo -- into space for the construction of China's space station, said Ji Qiming, assistant to the director of the CMSA, at a press conference held at the launch center. 这 3 名航天员将成为空间站天和核心舱的首批“入住人员”，他们将执行天地同步作息制 度进行工作生活，开展舱外维修维护、设备更换、科学应用载荷等一系列操作。 驻留约 3 个月后，搭乘飞船返回舱返回东风着陆场。 神舟十二号 3 名宇航员简介 我们中国人创造了属于自己的空间站，送我们自己的航天员上九天揽月，而我们的目标， 是无尽的星辰大海。 致敬英雄，祝愿凯旋归来！Here are some basic facts about the three astronauts: 聂海胜：再上苍穹 Born in 1964, Nie became an astronaut in 1998 and has been to space twice, on the Shenzhou-6 and Shenzhou-10 missions. Shenzhou-6, conducted in 2005, was China's first space mission with more than one astronaut, while Shenzhou-10, launched in 2013, tested docking technology. Nie, the most experienced crew member, will lead the team on the Shenzhou-12 mission, including long-time operations outside the cabin aided by machine arms. He is the oldest astronaut in China. "I just want to go to space," he said before the Shenzhou-10 mission. In a separate press conference with the three astronauts, Nie told reporters that he felt fortunate to be among the first people to enter the Chinese space station. "We have the blessings of the people, the support of the staff and the skills learned from training," he said. "I'm confident we can successfully carry out this mission." 刘伯明：满怀信心迎接一切挑战 Liu is not young either. Born in 1966, he was selected as an astronaut together with Nie Haisheng. During the Shenzhou-7 mission in 2008, Liu helped Zhai Zhigang to conduct a spacewalk. Liu learned about manned space missions during high school and applied to become a military pilot without the knowledge of his parents. He became a fighter jet pilot in 1990 and has recorded more than 1,000 hours of safe flying. He is a major general in the People's Liberation Army. This time, Liu is facing a much harder job. "I have to stay longer outside of the cabin and carry out much more complicated jobs," he told reporters. "But we have gone through systematic training sessions and will wear our new-generation space suits. I have more confidence to finish my job than last time." 汤洪波：这一次，我的坐骑是火箭 Tang, 45, is a second-generation astronaut with 11 years of experience. It took much longer than he expected to be selected for a real space mission. "I knew I had to remain tough," he told CMG. "But I didn't know I needed to stay tough for such a long time." He was a backup astronaut for 2016's Shenzhou-11 mission. "I have been preparing for the last decade," he said. "I hope I can spend my next decade contributing to the space station." Tang admitted he's a bit nervous about the mission. "There's some pressure definitely," he told media. "But I believe I can turn the stress into motivation." Two other astronauts, Deng Qingming and Ye Guangfu, had been rumored to be among the Shenzhou-12 astronauts. Ye has been selected to be a backup for the mission, together with Zhai Zhigang and Wang Yaping. orbit 英 [ˈɔ:bɪt] 美 [ˈɔ:rbɪt] n. 轨道 asteriod 英 [ˈæstərɔɪd] 美 [ˈæstəˌrɔɪd 小行星 comet 英 [ˈkɒmɪt] 美 [ˈkɑ:mət] n. 彗星 star 英 [stɑ:(r)] 美 [stɑr] n. 明星;星;星级;星状物 constellation 英 [ˌkɒnstəˈleɪʃn] 美 [ˌkɑ:nstəˈleɪʃn] n. 星座 THE SOUTHERN CROSS n. 南十字星座 The Big Dipper n. 北斗 solar eclipse 英 [ˈsəulə iˈklips] 美 [ˈsolɚ ɪˈklɪps] n. 日食 lunar eclipse 英 [ˈlju:nə iˈklips] 美 [ˈlunɚ ɪˈklɪps] n. 月食;月蚀 galaxy 英 [ˈgæləksi] 美 [ˈɡæləksi] n. 星系;银河系 telescope 英 [ˈtelɪskəʊp] 美 [ˈtelɪskoʊp] n. 望远镜 astronaut 英 [ˈæstrənɔ:t] 美 [ˈæstrəˌnɔt] n. 宇航员;航天员;太空人 spacecraft 英 [ˈspeɪskrɑ:ft] 美 [ˈspeɪskræft] n. 宇宙飞船，航天器 rocket 英 [ˈrɒkɪt] 美 [ˈrɑ:kɪt] n. 火箭;火箭发动机;火箭发射器; space probe n. 太空探测器 lunar module 美[ˈluːnər ˈmɑːdʒuːl] 英 [ˈluːnə(r) ˈmɒdjuːl] n. 登月舱 此外，你知道中国的航天事业给英语贡献了一个极有中国特色英语新词吗？ 说到“宇航员”，你第一反应想到的词是不是“astronaut”？但你知道吗，不同国家的宇航员还 拥有不一样的说法。 Taikonaut: 特指中国航天员，很多英语媒体报道中国航天员时会用这个词。 naut 这个词根是一样的，而前半部分用的是中文“太空”的拼音——中国特色与西方语言完美融 合在了一起。 一起学习其他简单、但超酷的太空英语吧！ "发射"英语怎么说?
