What has happened? 事情經過 Jeff Bezos went into space accompanied by three other people - Mark Bezos, his brother, Wally Funk, an 82-year-old pioneer of the space race, and Oliver Daemen, an 18-year-old student. Ms Funk became the oldest person to venture into space, and Oliver Daemen the youngest. 貝佐斯和另外三個人一同前往太空。和貝佐斯一同前往太空的另外三個人分別是Mark
Bezos，貝佐斯的兄弟、82歲的Wally Funk，太空競賽的先驅者以及Oliver
Baemen，18歲的學生。Funk女士最為年長，而Oliver Daemen則是最年輕的一位。 The capsule they were in has the biggest windows flown in space. This meant the four passengers had stunning views of the Earth. 四位所乘坐的太空艙擁有太空中最大的玻璃窗，這意味著四位乘客可以欣賞到迷人的地球美景。 The
spacecraft lifted off at 14:12 (BST) and the flight lasted for ten
minutes and ten seconds. Upon touching down, Jeff Bezos exclaimed: "Best
day ever!" 宇宙飛船于14:12 (英國夏令時間)起飛，飛行時長為10分10秒。落地的那一刻，杰夫貝佐斯歡呼道：“這是迄今為止最好的一天！” What is New Shepard? 什么是New Shepard？ The spacecraft, New Shepard, was built by Bezos's company Blue Origin. It is designed for the space tourism industry. New Shepard是一艘宇宙飛船，該飛船由貝佐斯的公司Blue Origin制造。該飛船設計用于太空旅游業。 Amazon
founder Mr Bezos - and other people in the 'billionaire space race' -
have been criticised for offering what some see as joy rides for the
super-rich. 亞馬遜的創始人貝佐斯-以及參與‘億萬富豪太空競賽’的其他人因向超級富豪提供太空旅行而受到批評。在一些人看來，太空旅行就相當于駕車兜風。 joy ride：駕車兜風 Critics say the money could be spent in other ways – for example, on pay rises for employees or fighting climate change. 反對者們表示，這些錢可以用在別處-比如給員工加薪或應對氣候變化。 What did Mr Bezos say? 貝佐斯對此怎么看? Mr
Bezos states that he has an environmental vision: "We need to take all
heavy industry, all polluting industry and move it into space, and keep
Earth as this beautiful gem of a planet that it is," he told MSNBC. 貝佐斯表示，他對環境有自己的看法：“我們需要把所有的重工業、所有的污染行業搬到太空去，這樣就可以讓我們的地球如同一顆美麗的寶石?！?/p> "It's
going to take decades and decades to achieve, but you have to start,
and big things start with small steps... that's what this sub-orbital
tourism mission allows us to do, it allows us to practice over and
over." “要實現這一目標，需要花費很長很長時間，但是你還是要著手去做。千里之行始于足下……而亞軌道旅行使命使我們可以朝這個目標努力，我們可以一次次的實踐?！?/p> What happened during the flight? 飛行過程 Two
minutes into the flight, the capsule separated from its rocket and
continued towards the Karman Line. The Karmen line is the most widely
recognised boundary of space - 100km up. 飛行2分鐘后，太空艙與火箭分離并繼續朝卡門線飛去?？ㄩT線是太空最為著名的邊界線-100km以上。 Capsule：太空艙 Karman Line：卡門線（我們用卡門線來界定大氣的邊緣，這個名稱得自匈牙利裔美籍工程師西奧多?馮?卡門） After
the flight, a video was shown of the passengers doing somersaults and
tumbles during four minutes of weightlessness. Also, stunning views of
the Earth could be seen outside. 飛行過后，視頻會顯示乘客們在4分鐘的失重狀態下翻跟頭并進行翻滾。此外，還能從窗外看到震撼的地球美景。 Weightlessness：失重狀態 On the return to Earth, Jeff Bezos told mission control: "You have a very happy crew up here." 返回地球后，貝佐斯告訴太空飛行指揮中心：“全體人員都非常開心。 ” mission control：太空飛行指揮中心 原文來源：BBC English Learning 圖片來源：Blue Origin 翻譯&編輯:上海譯銳翻譯
