Space Talk: An Astronaut's Day
太空谈话：一名宇航员的一天
Every morning you get up, wash your face, brush your teeth, eat breakfast and get ready for your day. These daily actions are so common that you don't think about them much. But what if you were in space? There is no gravity there, so weights are not as heavy as they are on Earth. When you drop something, it doesn't fall to the floor. It floats slowly away in the air. This means that astronauts can't just put down a tool. They need to tie it down. And how do astronauts drink? In space, water just breaks into small drops and hangs in the air.
每天早上你起床、洗脸、刷牙、吃早饭然后开始一天的生活。这些日常行为很常见你不会考虑太多。但是如果你在太空中呢？那里没有重力，重量不像在地球上那样重。当你扔东西的时候，它不会掉到地上，会在空中慢慢飘走。这也就意味着宇航员们不能把工具放下。他们需要把它系起来。那么宇航员们如何喝水呢？在太空中水会分解成小水滴悬浮在空中。
Well, astronauts eat and drink differently in space. They have special plates so that their food doesn't float away. They use special bags for drinks so that the drink stays inside.
宇航员在太空中吃饭喝水是不一样的。他们用特殊的盘子所以食物不会飘走。他们用特殊的包来装饮品，因此饮品才不会流出来。
Sleep is also different in space. Astronauts tie themselves to the wall so that they don't float around when they are sleeping. Since they have to work hard, they need to get plenty of rest. The sun rises and sets so often that it can be confusing. The astronauts have alarms and sometimes music to wake them up.
在太空中睡觉也是不一样的。宇航员们把自己系到墙上面因此他们在睡觉的时候才不会飘浮不定。因为他们需要努力工作，所以他们需要充足的睡眠。频繁的日出日落会让人感觉时间错乱，宇航员们有闹钟有时候音乐会把他们叫醒。
Exercise is important for astronauts as well. Since there is no gravity and astronauts float instead of walking or running, their muscles become weak very quickly. They have to exercise on special machines every day so that this doesn't happen. No one wants to become ill in space and exercise helps them stay healthy.
锻炼身体对宇航员们来说也很重要。因为没有重力，宇航员是飘着的不能走路或者奔跑，他们肌肉很快就会变得无力，他们必须每天锻炼防止这种情况发生。没有人想在太空中生病，锻炼能让他们保持健康。
However, it is not all hard work in space. When they are not doing science experiments, writing reports or exercising, there is a little time for fun. They watch movies, read the news and call family members and friends. The astronauts on the International Space Station can even connect to the Internet.
然而在太空中也不全是辛苦的工作。当他们不做科学实验、写报告或锻炼的时候，也会有一些娱乐时间。他们看电影、看新闻或者给家人朋友打电话，在国际太空站的宇航员甚至可以连接网络。
Dr Maria Sherman talked to students about an astronaut's life in space at the Space Museum on Wednesday.
星期三，玛丽亚·舍曼博士在太空博物馆向学生们讲述了宇航员在太空中的生活。
